Oh, that was nice. I am a little worried that Elladan can't hear his own voice but Elrohir seems to. Do you have yet more torment in store for us, Jay?


Author Reply: Not even I'm that evil, though I am reading a fic at the moment where Elrohir has been deafened by an explosion. The simple explanation is that Elladan did not speak out loud the first time, but Elrohir could lip read and recognised his own name. His *hearing* is fine!

Very nice to see Galadriel's foresight, the messenger, Arwen racing home as a good siter ought and finally the family reunited. I like the picture in my head of Elrohir holding Elladan in his arms. Very nice.

Author Reply: Well, Elladan did inherit his foresight from her, after all! So I thought she had to be involved. And it was time for Arwen to share in some of the angst. I also build a picture in my mind of scenes, and would love to be able to draw that one of the twins!

Author Reply: Sadly, I think it will take more than that to wake Elladan - there's more angst to come yet!

I am glad to see Elladan in his father's care and hopefully on the mend now, but it looks as if Elrohir just walked into trouble. Grief can make people say things they otherwise would not. Poor Elrohir - this is the last thing he needed.

Author Reply: Yes, poor Elrohir - he already feels guilty as it is. To find out now that someone else blames him is all he needs.

Poor Elrohir. What a hard thing to have to do. Bereth's family must be suffering so.

Your description of the surgery on Elladan's arm made me squirm, but I have faith in Elrond. And if Elrohir thinks it's hard to care for a familyl member, he should think a little about how his father must feel treating him and his brother all the time!

Well done chapter, Jay. I was swept along right through it.

Author Reply: Yes, poor Elladan - I tried not to make it too gruesome. But at least he was safely out of it. I'm glad you were swept along, I felt this chapter lacked the pace of some of the others, because there is little action. But now Elrohir is in trouble again.

I loved this! Some interesting insight into what has been bothering Elladan! Love all the attention to the twins in this one! Great job!

Author Reply: I'm glad you're enjoying it. There will be lots more focus on the twins to come, as well.

WOOHOO another chapter :)
Brilliance as always, with lovely levels and angst and general gut-wrenching emotion. Absolutely brillant :)

:: waits eagerly for the next chapter and starts formulating theories as to Elladan's illness and how his greif could consume him before Elrohir can re-establish the fact that he is alive::


Jules

Author Reply: Thanks yet again for the review! There is plenty more angst and emotion to come. The next chapter is up, but you will have to wait a while to see what is going to happen to Elladan.

You do Elladan's confusion very well! He is so disoriented and the reader can really see how he would believe that his delusions are real. But how ironic that it was himself Elladan saw in his visions.

Author Reply: Thanks, Daw! I tried to make his reasoning logical (considering the state he was in) and at the same time convey how bewildering his memories are. I hope you lke the latest twist!
