| Maglor makes a good substitute father. Elrond and Elros could have done worse. Considering the other options. But how can they really trust him once they are old enough to grasp more fully what was happening in Sirion and just how much responsibility he bears for their loss of their mother? Yet I still feel sorry for Feanor's sons - to a degree. They're in a hole they can't escape - even if they've spent their years east of the sea digging it deeper and deeper. I look forward to reading more! | |

| And Elrond remembers all too truly. Interesting brotherly experience. | |

| That was sad but lovely... I remember being similarly pained as a child to realize my mother had walked calmly away from me (tho she did not fly!) and dealing with everything that sort of baggage brings along. I wish I had had a twin to share it with! *g* You write children so well, which is a big deal for me. People who do not, and yet insist on doing so, drive me buggy... *g* Thank you for this insightful, sad, sweet story! | |

| Poor twins, of course, but I am already enjoying a lot this look at their "brief" time together as children. Too soon they got separated and followed their separate apth, bt htere is that long period (for a human, at least) when the were together and knew nothing of their different dooms. THey are lively, perk and charming, as children that age sould be. THough I suspect that there is grief for all involved to come. A wonderful choice of subject, I am rubbing my hands! :-) | |

| No matter what take you have of the tale of Elrond and Elros's start to life, it is sad. People hurt them, people used them, and ultimately people loved them. And in some cases, the same people did all of the above. In the end, the message these two received is that all stories are spun in one direction or another and the the truth lies somewhere in between. I do wonder how they learned to trust. I am glad to see them happy here, even if Maglor is burdened by guilt and sorrow. | |

| LOL about Elrond and his cold feet. He and Elros are at a very cute age here; old enough to know things they're not supposed to and young enough to be very frank in discussing them. They have much bigger worries than kids their age are supposed to have, and trying to figure out where they fit into their caretaker's life and heart is the biggest one. But Maglor seems to be a pretty caring foster dad. It was really sweet to see them being tucked into bed, anyhow. And big awwww for "Ada is busy being a star." | |

| That's very sweet. Although I write so much about Elrond's twins, I've read very little about him and Elros as children. This glimpse of them with Maglor is lovely - they make a very cosy family, despite the dark beginnings to their fostering. I love the close relationship between Elrond and Elros: 'Elros knew that, no matter what happened, he would wake in the morning with Elrond cuddled against him. But, by that time, the bed would be warm and cozy, so it did not matter so much.' That's a very sweet image! | |

| I have to admit all these ME stories about abandoned children just kill me. And I'm trying hard to sympathize with the Sons of Feanor, but I keep remembering the twins they abandoned in the woods. What were their names? Elur-something. I hope to goodness Maglor loves them because this would be too hard to take otherwise. | |
