Two By Two  by Jay of Lasgalen 5 Review(s)

Elrond is going to be thrilled that Firene has again managed to upset the twins' identities! How interetsing that no one else has managed to bring up this event in their long years in Imladris, but Firene has. This elf does have a knack for upsetting the apple cart with good intentions. :D

Author Reply: Firiene tends to say and do the wrong things, without meaning to cause havoc! Now she's let slip that something happened to Elrohir, and he means to find out. Elrond, who has tried hard to forget such a traumatic event (which is why it was never mentioned), will indeed be thrilled.

Sorry to see this end, but I can appreciate that you got yourself locked into a pattern that would be hard to continue.

I'm kind of surprised that Elrohir didn't grow up knowing all along that he almost died when he was born. But maybe that's just because I come from a family where nobody ever bothers keeping secrets because it's too much trouble (we are so lazy). It will be interesting to see Elrohir's and Elladan's reactions to learning about the emergency and Elrond's explanation of why it was never revealed before.

Author Reply: Baby elfling twins are sweet, but there's a limit to what I can write about them. Elrond didn't say anything before because it was simply something no one wanted to think about at first, and it's not an easy subject to casually introduce later on!

Such a shame to stop this! They are so sweet.

I love the tormenting of the twins - tell them they might be muddled up, hint there was a bigger problem and disappear.

You just couldn't get human males flirting convincingly with someone who had been their babysitter - 20 years is just too big a gap. It must be odd with elves - after the first millennia, surely age really doesn't matter.

I shall miss the cute baby elflings.

Author Reply: The baby twins are sweet, but there's only so much I can write about them like this. As young elflings they will be into more mischief, and asserting their individuality - there's more potential for stories.

I think Elrohir could flirt with anyone! (and I wish he'd try it with me ...)

Oh wonderful! This made me laugh. The way elves' ages seem to even out when they're adults makes all kinds of funny things possible. And these two are going to have some confusing questions for their parents. I hope they're all sober!

Author Reply: Elrohir will soon be very sober indeed when he hears what happened - it must be rather a shock! As an apprentice, Firiene would have been around her majority at the time - so what's 50 years age difference when one is 2000?

Uh-oh, the cat's out of the bag. It's a good thing the tale makes for such a sweet one. I'm sure the twins will be touched if they manage to get it out of nana and ada.

Author Reply: Yes, they will know the whole story soon - and poor Elrohir will get rather a shock. It will make them appreciate Elrond even more!
