Last Goodbyes Series  by perelleth 3 Review(s)

Your last two drabbles about Elros and his death were lovely. In this last one where his mother and father made haste to come to him at the hour of his death was such a wonderful visual! Sailing on the winds and star path to go to their son...nice imagine.

Terribly sad and bittersweet. Just wonderful.

Author Reply: Well, thanks! Sad but hopeful was what I meant. Earendil *finally* getting to say goodbye to at least one of his children was... rewarding to write down, and it was a fitting end for it all...

These are just wonderfully poignant. I especially love these two about Elros/Tar-Minyatur.

Author Reply: I'm glad you liked them, Lackwit, and took the time to review. Never meant to be depressing, but to offer a bit of hope, so poignant could be the word!

Oh that's so sad. I really do think that when the world ends, these people will all be together. To do anything else seems cruel. But of course, no one seems to know what happens to men when their souls flee beyond the circle of the world.

Author Reply: Well, I like to think that Finrod had an accurate insight in his conversation with Andreth, and that the Great Hope is what helped elves and some Men confront death with some resemblance of equanimity...This case is especially poignant, I think, so I like to think they truly expected to be reunited...
