| What a beautiful story! Such a joy to read and yet heart breaking. I hope to see more on Elrond's life from you... Author Reply: Thank you, Ilya. My time of madly writing LotR stories is past, I think. But every now and then the urge to write is irresistible, so you never know! | |

| This was just lovely, poor Elrond, you truly made me feel for him. I like to think his sons will join him one day after Arwen has no further need of her brothers. A tiny typo, I think you missed a word here "but Valar’s offer had already loosened" Author Reply: Thanks, Linda. I do like to think that Elrond's sons would have needed to go home to their parents when the time came. | |

| Lovely, Bodkin, though full of pain. Elrond lost so much. So glad you at least let his sons come home to him. Tolkien's tone is so melancholy sometimes. Author Reply: Thank you, daw. I do feel that Elrond got rather a raw deal - although I suppose he had centuries of happiness as well. He'll need his sons - and so will Celebrian. The more you think about elves, the more melancholy their immortality seems. | |

| This is a beautifully written, poignant story. Dear Elrond, able to feel hope at last. Author Reply: Thank you. I think Elrond deserves a happy ever after - not that he'll get one until he's reunited with Arwen! | |

| Thank you! It is a nice birthday's gift, even if mine is not even this month. Poor Elrond, always giving parts of him away, I hope that he has an everlasting happiness once he reaches Valinor, he deserves it. | |

| Wonderful! I love stories that trace the different choices made by Elrond and Elros, and the same heart-rending choice faced by Elrond's sons. Although I've read a couple of powerfully written stories where E&E chose different fates, I firmly and whole-heartedly believe that they both chose immortality, but delayed it while Arwen lived. I can't believe they abandoned their sister to old age and death! | |
