This is a beautifully written and very moving story.Poor Aragorn and
poor Gilraen.Grief does indeed make people add oddly.It is brave to
draw on your own experiences,but in so doing,makes your work richer
and maybe you will help others who read this excellent story.
The depiction of Poor Gilraen, is heartrending, but all too true to
life.and well writtenYou portray the different personalities of the
Elladan and Elrohir well here. They remind me a little of the brothers
in "Supernatural"!Thank Goodness they found Gilraen before she could
harm herself.I liked the way that Gilraen and Elladan helped each other.
The ending is both beautiful and uplifting.

This is indeed an unusual perspective, and a very welcome one. You
imagined the East wind very much within the boundaries the Professor
established, even while giving it a voice of its own. Well done.

Spoilers!
Five very poignant vignettes about the Yules before, during and after
the Ring War. Merry and Pippin and their concern for their cousin
Frodo are the common thread between them all, and how following their
cousin on his quest changed them. For the most part the cast consists
of hobbits doing what hobbits do best-eating, drinking and
celebrating, but members of the Fellowship also make an appearance in
one of the parts. I particularly like Dana's Boromir. Though the
individual stories are brief, they nonetheless convey the author's
message that throughout life's changes, friends are what help you through.
Title: Comfort · Author: Bodkin · Races: Elves: House of Elrond · ID: 161
Reviewer: Isabeau of Greenlea · 2008-09-07 00:46:40
Spoilers!
I've often wondered why Elladan and Elrohir were considered
Half-Elven, when they were in fact mostly Elven and Maia and a bit
human. Nonetheless, Tolkien always depicts them, both in LOTR and
other works, as straddling both worlds, moving among both Elves and
Men. Like their father, they too succor the Dunedain, albeit in a more
active fashion, often riding with the Northern Rangers. In this story
Bodkin deftly shows that they do in fact feel kinship with their
distant mortal cousins, and warmly depicts the loving relationship
between two brothers who are closer than most, as Elladan tries to
comfort his brother after a patrol gone wrong. The humorous chaffing
common to some siblings helps to hide his deeper concern. Though
brief, the differences in personality between the two twins are marked
in the story, despite their similar appearances.
