Feanorian silences

[alasse_mirimiel]

In which Elros is Not Impressed by Elven-kind and Elrond is trying to pretend he's not comparing everyone in a position of authority to Maedhros and finds them lacking.

Ereinion clearly thinks that it was a terrible thing to happen to us, to be fostered by Maglor, and maybe he’s right. But I think he imagines that there are dark hurtful secrets in our past that we aren’t revealing, obscure Feanorian transgressions.  There are no sinister Feanorian secrets, though. All Maedhros and Maglor’s crimes are public knowledge. We are merely replicating Feanorian silences.

Ahh, this is so pretty!

Thank you!!

Oh! They are looking very sceptical, poor things! I badly want to give both of them a hug.
Thank you so much for drawing this!

I imagine there was something more about the way they acted that made Ereinion believe they had a terrible childhood, other than their silence. Of course, it'd never cross his mind that being "rescued" from Maedhros and Maglor was the issue :P

And this is kind of a thank you for writing amazing stories!

To be sure!
It wasn't just that they weren't talking about the Sons of Feanor.
It was a time of really difficult adjustments for them.
But of course, after Sirion, Ereinion would have been prone to believe the worst anyway!

That's a nice depiction of them.

Tanto tiempo! Como anda todo?

Que buena imágen: super expresiva y dice tanto con una paleta sutil. Muy buen título.

Hermosa historia!Recuerdo lo que lloré al leer "A Walk in the Forest..." la primera vez (segunda, tercera...). Y estar llorando frente al monitor gigante de una desktop requiere muchas explicaciones a toda la familia que pasaba :D

Pasaron mil años!!

Gracias :D Me encanta la idea de todo el mundo creyendo que los dos están super traumados cuando la verdad es que se quieren volver con Maedhros y Maglor XD En el futuro Elrond va a ser capaz de tener la mejor cara de poker pero es muy jóven todavía (para mí que a Elros no le importa que todos sepan que no está contento lol)

Es el tipo de historia que se queda con vos aunque pasen años :)

This is a great picture of them! I like their expressions.

Thank you!

They're beautiful. I like the differences between them.

[alasse-mirimiel.livejournal.com]

I think this would be a time when both would try to be more themselves (even if they'd miss being able to fool people lol)

I love their expressions, between outrage and scepticism! So much alike, and yet not the same.

[alasse-mirimiel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, they're twins, but their personalities isn't the same, and I'm glad I managed to show that :)
