Paranoidangel's Drabbles by paranoidangel
Larner · 30 November 2010 · Chapter 22: Leaving
Taking those things that raise the spirit in the end proved enough, I think. Alas that he must leave, but he knew then it was indeed time.
Author's reply
It was time for Elrond to go and see his wife again.
Larner · 30 November 2010 · Chapter 21: Halbarad
Halbarad's loss must have weighed on him terribly. And as wonderful a memorial as possible--to have been a friend.
Author's reply
It must have been so hard to lose friends.
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 20: Reunion
A blemish on that perfect moment of homecoming....
Author's reply
It is. Poor Elrond.
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 19: Weeds
I, too, see Frodo as not liking the idea of the weeds being all removed when they also have pretty blossoms.
Author's reply
Me too. Sometimes the weeds are the prettiest flowers.
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 18: Gilraen
Enchantment, plain and true! Most interesting that Arathorn should also fall in love at first glance--his son obviously came by it honestly! Heh!
Author's reply
Thanks.
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 17: How Old?
Lovely teasing!
Author's reply
Thanks
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 16: Begin Again
Now their paths are clearly separate--and needfully so. And each does begin anew,
Author's reply
As sad as it is that they're separated, they do both do great things for Middle-earth.
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 15: Letting Go
A needed letting-go. Poignant.
Author's reply
Thanks
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 14: Brother
It's a hard thing to give out a loved one's things to others, but it is so necessary in the end. And even the most loving of brothers will fight at times.
Author's reply
Oh, yes, I'm sure that Boromir and Faramir loved each other and fought with each other too.
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 13: Fear and Hope
At least they do have that hope to share. And Elrond's requirements proved to work for the best.
Author's reply
Elrond is wise :)
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 12: Sons
A shared worry, and one all parents of warriors face,
Author's reply
It must have been hard being parents of warriors.
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 11: A Decision
It did not stop such things from happening, but their actions certainly must have spared others similar griefs.
Author's reply
It probably didn't help as much as they would have liked, but even helping a little would have been something.
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 10: The Sword
Hehehehe! Mistaken identity with a sword?
Author's reply
:) Thanks for reviewing
Larner · 29 November 2010 · Chapter 9: Learning From the Best
It's never easy being a beginner and trying vainly to do as well as one's teacher. But this is the only way to truly learn properly.
Author's reply
Estel would have learned from one of the best, it's just hard to appreciate it as a beginner.
Antane · 23 November 2010 · Chapter 14: Brother
I love stories of Aragorn and Faramir. Thanks for this one. Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Thanks for the review, I'm glad you liked it.
Antane · 23 November 2010 · Chapter 24: 22nd September
How sweet! :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
Author's reply
Thanks
Branwyn · 12 September 2010 · Chapter 36: As Kind as Summer
Very nice! Though I enjoy the movies, Elrond "as kind as summer" is sadly missing.
Author's reply
Thank you.
6336 · 12 September 2010 · Chapter 38: The Best and Worst of all Things
Interesting drabble, but shouldn't that be West and not East? L.J.
Author's reply
You're right, it should. I don't know what I was thinking of when my fingers typed that!
daw the minstrel · 12 September 2010 · Chapter 41: My Heart
These are all lovely, but I really like this one about Arwen's birth. The play on heartbreak is poignant.
Author's reply
Thank you.
grumpy · 10 June 2006 · Chapter 32: Pass It On
Good drabble on the twins and Estel and skipping stone, glad to see that Estel mastered it.
Author's reply
Thank you, glad you liked it.
AspenJules · 25 May 2006 · Chapter 18: Gilraen
I love this. I love that he forgot how to speak just by looking at her, and then when she smiled... oh boy was he in trouble! It's very sweet, and bittersweet, knowing the story of the two of them.
Author's reply
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
Larner · 24 May 2006 · Chapter 7: Beloved
Yes, definitely Book-Elrond. And a worthy, loving, decent father.
Author's reply
Oh, he so is.
Larner · 24 May 2006 · Chapter 6: Memories
And a wonderful way to leave those memories to them. The shared toy kept by the loving father.
Author's reply
Elrond just a bit softie at heart really :)
Larner · 24 May 2006 · Chapter 5: Leaving
Well written with no words wasted.
Author's reply
Thank you - that's just as well in a half-drabble!
Larner · 24 May 2006 · Chapter 4: Home
Poignant thoughts by Strider here.
Author's reply
Indeed they are.
