| A masterful interpretation of a meeting that is sadly not written of too often - lovely delineation of the contrasts between the beautiful, unchanging elven maiden and the Dunadan woman marked by the changes of a mortal life. And yet, there's a sense of growing wistfulness and respect and liking in Arwen's perspective. Very nice! Author Reply: Thank you! I enjoyed working with the contrasts and parallels in this piece. | |

| Two women, one youthful in appearance but nearly ageless in actuality, the other very young by the count of her companion yet aging; both bound by fate to the same young man. How real this meeting feels! Author Reply: Thanks, I'm glad you find it convincing! | |

| I saw this when you posted it on the GFIC comm, but couldn't come up with any sort of constructive advice because it's really well done--especially in characterizing the awkwardness and tentativeness of this first meeting. I especially enjoyed the contrasts of youth and age, and how the mysteries of mortality and motherhood have actually made Gilraen older than Arwen. Well done! Author Reply: Thank you! These days, I see a lot of beauty in older people - probably because I'm getting older myself. | |
