I, too, have imagined that Maglor left a son in Aman, so this is definitely a turn of events I appreciate. And this is definitely a proper subject on which Aracano deserves to hear the tale.

Nicely done.

Author Reply: Yes, well, he's the only one aside from Curufin of whom we definitely know that he was married, so why not a son? It's a shame that the Professor so rarely cared to tell us something about the women - at least their names. After all, unless his father made him in his smithy, Celebrimbor must have had a mother, too, right?

Aww, Eärwen wanting someone to mother over is sweet. I'm sure Aracáno will appreciate it! And I'm not sure who I want to hug more, him or Celebrían over their misunderstanding. Celebrían was very brave and poor Aracáno so distressed... Also, again, I love how you described what everyone was wearing, and the contrast of Celebrían's more simple attire against the pomp of the others.

Oooh, the Tale of the Sun and Moon? *settles down* I can't wait to hear it! :)



Author Reply: I think Celebrían is a lot braver than people would give her credit for. After all, she grew up in Galadriel's shadow and married a Peredhel. She had to count on the possibility that one or more of their children may choose mortality, as Arwen ultimately did. Her clothing was based on what Arwen is wearing in the LotR chapter "Many Meetings", of course.

Thanks for still holding on with reading and reviewing, It makes my day, every time.

An interesting chapter with a lot going on, especially the undercurrents. And poor Aracáno... all he wanted was a simple tale about the making of the Sun and Moon and everyone kept coming up with reasons why *they* wouldn't sing it for him. Elves are too cute for their own good. I wanted to smack a few of them and tell them to get over themselves and move on. And I loved that Aracáno decided that "Argon" was too stupid sounding. I know I certainly wouldn't want to be named after "an extremely unreactive colourless odourless element of the rare gas series" [according to dictionary(dot)com]. LOL!

Author Reply: Well, Aracáno will get his tale, even if not in song form. As for "Argon", I once had this completely insane plotbunny titled "The Truth About The Gems", in which Feanor had six kids, all named after the rare gases, and the eldes, Helia, was actually a girl. *g* Fortunately, I could not get drunk enough to actually write it. I don't know what the Professor was smoking when he came up with the idea of an Elf named "Argon" - it couldn't have been merely pipeweed.

Thanks for the support. It's greatly valued on my end of the connection.
