Tales of Two Brothers  by Lady_Roisin 4 Review(s)

Ah--if only all our wedding nights might be thus! Lovely!

Author Reply: I think every bride has thir own anxieties on the day of their wedding, and so many women worry about their looks and how their significant thers view them. I didn't want to write a traditional classic beauty for Isildur's wife. I knew she would be a character I would be working with a lot, and it was important to me to write a woman that even women today can relate to. She's smart, hard working, and strong in spirit. And being part of the Faithful, I think Isildur would have valued a wife who was strong and no flimsy, high maintenance, beauty would have worked. I am happy you enjoyed this tale. It was one that was very special to me too. Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review. ((hugs))

I'm so pleased to see you posting your stories here, Roisin. As you know, I'm quite a fan of Isildur's and I'm really looking forward to reading your take on him.

Author Reply: Thanks so much Inzilbeth! (huggles)) I'm so happy to be here. :-) I do hope my Isildur will be to your liking. He's become quite the noisy muse lately! I connected to him in a way I didn't expect, but so far it's been a good match!

Ahhhh.... I really like Isildur. *Really* like Isildur! Lovely depiction of a woman's insecurities on her wedding day. I love how you've written Isildur's tenderness and insight. Very well done and good to see you posting here! :)

Author Reply: I'm so glad I've inspired someone to like isildur too. I love writing him and his lady love. I'm happy you liked the emotions. I think a lot of women feel that way, I know I did! Yay! I'm happy to be here at SoA too! Thanks so much for the review!

Hi! Don't have time to review all your stories, now, but I am SO glad 1). that you're now posting here, and 2). you've decided to take a look at the 2nd Age (IMO an era sorely in need of more good fan fiction!).

I'm looking forward to see what you do with these families which we know must have been strong to weather all that they did. This lovely bit of romance gets you off to a great start!

Author Reply: Hi Celeritas, it's been awhile! ((hugs)) I'm thrilled you are happy to see me delve into the 2nd Age stuff. I really am obsessed with the Numenoreans, and I didn't expect them to strike such a deep chord with me, but they have. I hope to post many more 2nd Age stories in the future. Thanks so muh for taking the ime to leave me such a kind message. I'm happy to be here.
