| Don't take this the wrong way, FirstMate, but I'm glad you accidentally erased the chapter and had to rewrite it. That was absolutely phenomenal! I love the way the chapter shows the deep bond between the twins. Elladan is so focused on his twin he is able to completely ignore his own pain and fatigue. I commend Elladan for not losing control of his stomach, when he was already feeling sick to begin with. I also like the way Elladan admits the fact that it is Elrohir who is injured puts his own experience on a whole different level, even though he has certainly seen his share of blood as a warrior. I'm so glad Estel has managed to redeem himself in a big way. It took a lot of guts to come right out and apologize to Legolas. It was very perceptive of Legolas to encourage him to keep talking when he could see how nervous Estel was about the apology. Estel's apology to the twins will be interesting. Elladan should be feeling much better after a good night's sleep, but Elrohir probably isn't going to feel so good for a few days at least. It will be interesting to hear them try to explain this one to Elrond. I have a feeling Elrohir will be more upset about his own behavior than worried about receiving apologies. This mess will probably take a while to work out emotionally. I can't wait to read the next chapter. Thank you so much for rewriting the chapter. Accidentally erasing the whole chapter had to very frustrating. Thanks again for not giving up. The extreme emotion factor made this my favorite chapter to date.

I seem to have gotten in the habit of responding right before I post (from long ago when responses were often posted at the end of the next chapter). Bad habit, but I haven't managed to break it. ANYway, I really,really appreciated your review and enthusiastic approval of the rewrite. The next chapter is filled to the brim with angst, apologies, emotions, and resolutions--I hope so much you enjoy it! FM | |

| Excellent chapter! You injure the twins so well I mean you write them so well. The story is wonderful and doesn't have to have only one chapter to go, does it? The tension and the description of Elladan and Elrohir's internal struggles were very well done. Can't wait for more! Author Reply: Hi Ellie! Yes...(smile)...I guess I do manage to do more than my fair share of injuries to the twins. Sigh. Just one more chapter to go and I'm ready now to post it. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for the review! FM | |

This was a lovely chapter...bad you lost all that, but sometime from scratch works out for the better... Elrohir is stubron as is Ellaadan, both are tired and on edge. Elrohir should know better than hide an injure. Estel showed great skill, both Legolas and him are going to have to watch the brothers.... Can't wait to hear the rest, was on the edge of my seat.... Author Reply: Hey pipinheart...true, sometimes it's better to start over, but it really frustrated me to have lost that last chapter. Fortunately, the next one is now ready and unless my house burns down tonight I think it'll stay safe. :) The little group will have all their issues resolved in it--I hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for reviewing. I really appreciate it! FM | |
