Squeeeeeeeeeeee! *Re-reads* Double squeeeeeee! I love it! thank you so much, Jay! Hunky twins! Canon! *happy sigh* And I apologize for not thanking you earlier... RL has kept me away from the fandom for a while now.... - Barbara Author Reply: Thank you - I'm really glad you liked this. Twins and canon - what could be better? You might also enjoy the latest drabble 'The Darkness Behind' with Elladan and Gimli on the Paths Of The Dead. Don't worry about the late reply - I hope RL is better now! | |

I have always been fascinated with E2, Legolas and Aragorn facing battle where their (fore)fathers stood in battle an Age before. I like your picture of the twins here, exactly as I image them, united, naturally. Author Reply: I love writing about the twins - and they are always together, no matter where they are, or whatever the circumstances. I can't imagine them facing these odds alone - and Tolkien *said* they were both there, together! | |

Elrond's sons do tend to do things doubly, after all. Excellent. Author Reply: *Grin* And Tolkien *told* us that they were together, at the front, 'where the first bitter assault would come'. I love it when my fantasies tie in with canon! | |

I think that all those who went to the Black Gate must have made their peace with death before they began the march. After all - they cannot have expected to survive it. And death would be infinitely preferable to surviving this battle - unless, of course, Frodo pulled off the miracle. (Hurrah for Frodo!) Great bit of E2! Author Reply: I think E2 went to the battle quite prepared to die. The only thing they'd wish for would be that one did not outlive the other for long :( | |

Moving ficlet, Jay. The reassurance of being together must have been a - albeit little - comfort in this hopeless situation. It's a scene that is missing from the books and movies both; it would've fitted well in both. Author Reply: Thanks! I wish they'd been in the flms, but Tolkien himself said very little. I think they'd have drawn strength from facing the end together. | |

Nice. We don't see much of the sons of Elrond in the original, but this fits well, I think. Author Reply: Tolkien said that they were at the front 'where the first bitter assault would come', but nothing of how they fared in the battle - apart from the fact that we know they survived. It intrigues me that Tolkien said so little, yet they seem such complex characters! | |

Oh, yes, so right! And they are wonderful, our sons of Elrond! Author Reply: *Grin* Thank you. I must admit, I rather like them here myself :>) | |
