For Nowe and Elwe there was a shared love of the sea and its ways; and
that brought them together to explore the ways of traveling abroad
upon its surface. But for the younger Elf there was another desire as
well--to meet the Hunter who was said to take those Elves who left the
safety of the community.
Well told, in spite of the slash component.

A lot of AUs seem to concentrate on tiny shifts that create huge
changes, but Dreamflower takes a slightly different approach with this
story. The tiny shift has certainly created change, but crux of the
story remains intact. There really are many roads leading to Rome. Or,
in this case, Minas Tirith. And by taking a different route, a few
people arrive at the end of the road that might not have otherwise
made it. Sometimes small changes can make big differences, but
sometimes they can leave well enough alone and just tweak the ending
to make it that much brighter.
Title: Shadow King · Author: Claudia · Genres: Alternate Universe:
Angst/Tragedy · ID: 227
Reviewer: Thundera Tiger · 2008-09-13 12:20:44
Spoilers!
Ooo, very dark and very tragic. I love how this works in parallel with
canon. There are similar lines and similar actions, but it's horribly
tainted. Faramir's question to the people of Minas Tirith regarding
Aragorn's kingship was especially grim. Just a few well-placed words
really knock home the horror of what's happening. I love the subtle
narration of how the people ["managed"] to say yes. That was a
wonderfully grim touch. Now Faramir's joyful shout of ["Behold the
King!"] has such ominous tones to it.
And really, that's where the story gets its power. Extremes are best
exemplified by using contrast, and the contrast to such a dark tragedy
is hope. Which could have presented something of a problem, because
there is no hope to be found in this story. That much is abundantly
clear right from the start, and Frodo's fractured remembrances of the
road to Minas Tirith only serve to strengthen the feeling of utter
despair. But Claudia proves to be both a skilled and a shrewd author,
because even without hope in this story, there is definitely contrast,
and that contrast lies in Tolkien's canon. By picking the most
celebratory moments from the books for imitation, Claudia provides
instant contrast that makes an already dark AU even darker. And the
result is a chilling, bleak look at a terrible future. Fantastic story!

Powerful and intriguing. I was especially taken with the last two
possibilities. They make for nice opposites! The fourth scenario has
such a drive to it. Even Nerdanel no longer knows what to make of her
feelings except that they're strong and they don't allow for anything
other than Feanor. It's a beautiful build on Feanor already had going
for him, and together, I shudder to think of what they've done. The
last possibility is very quiet and very still by contrast. There's
almost a static feel to it, and the compelling drama of the
Silmarillion fades away. Fascinating little AUs!

If Feanor had survived, I can well imagine that this would be his
fate. It was easy to see him curled around Maglor, struggling to give
him life again. The story easily reminds one of Feanor's own fiery
spirit and the drive the possessed him to follow the Silmarils. But a
very long life has changed him, and there are moments in this story
that touch on the very depths of those changes. The idea that Feanor
refuses to weep again out of fear that he will never stop weeping is
heart-wrenching, but even more grievous are his memories of Maedhros.
Feanor remembers Maedhros's suicide as a rejection of his father's
gift of life rather than the more probable explanation that it was an
escape from the horrors that plagued their family. And even though it
seems he may have forgiven Maedhros, there's still a twinge of
bitterness. His desperation to keep at least Maglor with him also
seemed bitter, and it was clear he fought a losing battle. Very dark
and very despairing. I'm not Feanor's biggest fan, but even I felt
sorry for him in the end. And of course I ached for poor Maglor. The
thought that his sorrow had taken even his voice was a sobering
realization. Beautifully nuanced tale with a great eye for the
characterization of one of Tolkien's most complicated families.

A wonderful look at how movie-verse Boromir's relationship with
Aragorn grew until he at last offered his fealty. Sad, as is only
right; and the (original) temptation within the caves is a marvelous,
delightful surprise as Boromir does what he can for Aragorn, although
tempted to do otherwise.

Four tragic choices, and one hopeful, peaceful one. It is too bad that
the last choice was not made; but considering her husband and his
nature it is probable it would never have been made to begin with. But
the thought of Dwarves remaining within Aman is delightful!
As for the fourth choice--even more tragic and bloody than what did
happen? It does not bear thinking of.
I am not a Sil reader or writer save on rare occasion; this could
perhaps bring me to read and write more.

[Yes, even that elf.]
*snerks*
That line was brilliant, not just for its humor but because it keeps
the piece from getting a tad maudlin, as is so easy with post-quest
drabbles. It may be okay for an elf or even a man or hobbit to
pontificate about feelings, but for a dwarf --especially *this*
dwarf-- it is crucial to his character that he snap out of it. I can
very easily see this happening.
On a more practical note, I loved the details of how the dwarves are
building Aglarond. That gave the drabble a nice use of realism and
also struck me as very dwarvish (to be so absorbed in the
artisanship). It's details like these that make drabbles such a joy to
read, and this drabble does a nice job of working those details in
seamlessly.

Reviewer: dkpalaska · 2008-09-13 21:09:02
The trickiest part of AUs for me is whether the author can balance the
shift(s) to canon while maintaining accurate characterizations. I am
very much a character-driven reader; I can handle a slight bending of
Tolkien's beloved crew, but there usually has to be good reason behind
a change to how an individual would "normally" act or I most often end
up disengaging from the entire story.
Well, there are no concerns with ["The King's Colors"]. Dwimordene
alters quite a bit of the LotR story that leads up to this point in
the timeline, but the interaction depicted here feels as authentic as
something right from the Master's pen. Aragorn and Boromir *are* the
original Aragorn and Boromir, and the author handles this uncanonical
meeting superbly.
And as usual, there is never cause for complaint concerning the
technical aspects of writing with this author. The first few words
draw me in immediately, the stage is quickly but thoroughly set out,
and the initial promise is followed through to the end of a tight,
well-paced scene. The tense atmosphere is palpable, Boromir's inner
thoughts and the dialogue excellently handled. We are given very few
details of how this AU moment came about, but I did not find myself
dwelling on it; the concept is entirely plausible and a reader's
imagination easily fills in the gaps. The author's focus remains right
where it should be: a reader is no more distracted by extraneous
information than the two protagonists.
Despite the rough beginnings to this relationship, there is a clear,
definite feeling of hope in the end: Boromir, like his brother in
canon, will prove to be not wholly his father's son. A must-read for
any fan of Aragorn or the Brothers Mir!
