Oh, Elrohir is naughty! I am glad to see Elladan up and moving around though. It was good Elrohir could see behind the angry words to the grief of one brother who had lost another. That was a fear he knew only too well.

Author Reply: I had fun writing that scene at the end, so I'm glad people liked it. Elrohir could understand Beregar all too well, and especially after his own over-reaction when he found Beregar in Elladan's room.

Good to see that Elrohir and the younger elf are no longer at odds. And to see that the mother holds no rancor towards Elrohir.

Do the young elflings call both twins Lord El? Or is that reserved for Elrohir? Or maybe they can't tell the twins apart and settled on Lord El as a way to always get it right?

Loved the ending moment between Elladan and Elrohir. Such a typical teasing brother moment.

This story seems like it wrapping up to a happy conclusion. Of course, I've thought that before about this story. LOL

Author Reply: Both the twins are 'Lord El' - the elflings can't tell them apart any more than anyone else, so it makes life easier. As I said to Daw, I wondered about that scene, and Elrohir's remark. I'm glad it worked. The story really is nearing the end this time, and I've about half finished the final chapter. But the plot bunnies are gathering under my desk ...

Yay! An update! This is a gret chapter; I'm glad to see Elladan awake and well.

Author Reply: Yes, he is awake, and despite current appearances, he will be well. Eventually.

One of the things I like about this is that you don't portray these people as unmotivated villains or saints. People make mistakes but they can see reason and do better. And I like the collusion of the twins at the end against Elrond's orders that Elladan should stay in bed. I know what Elladan feels!

Author Reply: I try hard to make my characters three-dimensional, and also try to give the twins distinct personalities. I wondered for a long time whether to include that final scene, especially Elrohir's comment - was it too crude, did it sound slashy? Thankfully, people seem to have liked it!
