So now that I've started telling you how much I like your stories... it is only fair that I did it wholly...I did love "Elrond's boys" (but I was too shy to review then) and it struck me how different "your" twins are, a thing that makes sense to me. I suppose they may have grown up to be both stout and proficient warriors and pretty obsessed with orcs, but still they would retain very different tempers and natures, and I'm glad you chose to explore that.

I think that being forced into something you truly don't like is painful enough to make Elrohir an interesting character at this stage, and Elladan.. oh gods! he's the typical overbearing and conceited sports hero... It's going to be an interesting characters' developement and interaction!!!.

I suppose that both siblings must have undergone serious conflict in some time around this age, with conflicting egos and the typical lack of empathy...before they finally learnt to fully rely on each other and accept and value their different strengths... Elladan is an ego asking to be chopped, while Elrohir seems to have trouble seeing himself as worthy...
That can be such a tricky period in life!!! poor elflings (and parents alike!)
Go on! please! ;-)

Me again,
you've done a great job of writing the twins, my favourite character is Elladan, and I love seeing him so well written, I was still laughing from the update for 'A Visit to Imladris' but this chapter was so full of angst I wanted to cry again (but not with laughter). It was nice to see Celebrian being the one to talk to Elladan normally Elrond or Glorfindel end up with that sort of job and it has so much more effect coming from his mother. I'm interested to see how you sort things out with Elladan and if Elrond finds out. Also how Elrohir will react to his brother if he carries on the way he is.
Anyways please write more soon

You are doing a very good job of writing teenage twins! Celebrian's reprimand of Elladan was excellent! Poor Elrohir on not making what he had hoped to. Well done on showing his frustration and shame.

I am enjoying this story very much. Please continue to pursue it.

Ouch. Perhaps that's what Elladan needed to hear, but it must have hurt, coming from his mother! He is so angry at the moment, but that is definitely not going to get him what he wants.

And Elrohir is having problems, too, but just reacting differently. More one who pretends he doesn't care, so you have to be very close to hear the pain.

Poor elflings. I hope Arwen's arrival isn't imminent - at this moment they both need time to grow up. I don't think they would cope very well with being superseded by an innocent and wholly adorable infant.
