| Whoa. What an incredible story. I love it!!! Please continue as soon as you can. This is really original. It's nice to read an account of Estel as a somewhat spoiled teenager who can make a horrible mistake. It makes him all the more "human". It's wonderful to read of Elladan's patience, keeping in mind the same mistake he once made. I simply can't wait for more. | |

I've waited a long time for this update but its been worth the wait. Elladan really was being an idiot to Elrohir. You can only think how hurt he was after his brother said those things to him. Especially since Elrohir protected him from that dog... Please continue...love it!! | |

| Welcome back - I was afraid we'd seen the last of you, and the story would never be finished! I like this new story of the younger twins, even though it's Elladan I want to kick this time :>) 'Eldest and heir' indeed - they're twins!! Who or what is the new arrival? I can't think it's anything friendly. | |

| FirstMate, that was certainly a surprise to see this story pop up here! I barely dared to believe my eyes – this time I really had lost hope you would ever update. Hm ... arrogant halfwit was a good description, I fear. What was Elladan thinking, talking this nonsense? Nothing much intelligent, probably. I feel so sorry for Elrohir – he saved Elladan’s life, was worried for his brother, and all he got was *this* response! Poor guy. No wonder he is hurt. And Estel ... *rolls eyes* It will truly be hard work to convince him – the last part left me again sitting here and wanting to shake him. (And the younger Elladan, too!) I look forward to the next update and hope it will not take too long. | |

| I really enjoyed reading this story and was so pleased to see it updated. "Lost" is one of my favorite stories and I am eagerly awaiting more on this one. Welcome back! | |

| I got your reply and ran right over here! I'm so glad I didn't wait till the 7th to bother you! Seriously? You have just made my day! (Hopefully not my year) :-) I was SO excited to see the update!! I think I savored every single word. And I knew it was shorter than your other chapters, so as every paragraph drew to a close I was just really, really hoping it wouldn't be the last. But alas, eventually it was... The story of the boar hunt and Elladan being an a** was just so interesting. What is so amazing about your writing is not only the incredible plots that you come up with, but the way you phrase things, it just builds up the angst perfectly! By the time we get to that climactic moment where the character's guilt sets in, I'm just left with chills- and I love that feeling. If all fanfictions were rollercoasters, yours would be the highest- with the steepest drop. Not many can pull off that kind of angsty build-up. So I really, really, really hope you update soon. I've never stopped being fully hooked in this story, but now that I've gotten an update, I'm bouncing with anticipation for more. I can't wait to read what happened with the boar hunt and how/if the twins made up... And of course, who that figure was... Did it have anything to do with the dog? | |

| Hi! It's me again. I was going to wait until October 7, so that I could make it an annual review (October 7th was the date of my last begging review). But alas, the last two weeks were just too hard for me to wait! I just thought I'd let you know that even though I've now moved on to reading other genres of fanfiction and Elladan and Elrohir no longer captivate my daydreams, I'm still VERY eagerly awaiting the end, middle, any part, of this story. I absolutely LOVE your writing. It's some of the best I have EVER read and that includes published books and novels and such. I know you've been busy and you've been away for long bouts of time, but it would just make me exstatic if you could post something...anything. Maybe if you post a little bit and get lots of new feedback, and begin to reread the last stuff that you wrote, your muse will come on full force and you'll be able to bang out the rest of this story and it will no longer be hanging over your head. Or maybe it's just that I'll no longer be hanging over your head. :-P I have been good though, right? I've only bothered you once a year so far... Please! Please, please, please, please update! Please? I'll continue this and make it my fall tradition for the rest of my life if I have to. I really want to know what happens next. I really want to know what's wrong with Elrohir. I want to know who will find him. I want to know what changes Estel's mind about Elrohir's bravery. You're the only one who can answer those questions for me. And I really, really, really want to know. Please? Author Reply: Hi Liz, Well, great minds think alike, I guess, because I'd already broken up my chapter into three parts a couple of weeks ago and decided I'd post it like that. Your note spurred me on to getting the darn thing posted today, though, so thanks for the little push! And of course, thanks so much for your very nice comments. I don't feel I deserve them at the moment after letting my story go for so long, but nonetheless they were lovely to read! Okay, now I've posted the first part...let's see if that lures a muse back in.... FM | |

| Firstmate, Really enjoying this story! Hope you get the opportunity to update it. I am looking forward to the "lightbulb" going off in Estel's head. Idril Author Reply: Hey Idril, Looks like I'm finally getting off the dime and updating. No lightbulb for Estel yet. Won't happen in this chapter at all, in fact, but it does eventually. Thanks for your note! FM | |

| Hello, With the lack of updates (over a year now since the last one) I decided to re-read the entire library from FirstMate, It just made me want a new chapter even more!! But it's good to know that the story was not abandoned. -Yeah I'm a patient person :-) Janie. Author Reply: Hi Janie, Well, it's good that you're patient, because in my case it's REALLY been needed. I've just posted a new update to get things rolling again. Thanks SO much for hanging in there with me! FM | |
