This tale is superb!
Elladan's submission was beautiful and Erestor almost melting for him, was sublime. I must say that it broke my heart when Erestor was reminded of the twins' deception and, all of a sudden, he covered his emotions with a veil of disdain.
This chapter has highlighted the complexity of Erestor's personality. He seems to be so detached and stern, but perhaps that is just a mask for his own fragility.
He is wonderfully written.
Thank you for sharing this tale with us !
You write Elrond so masterfully. I confess I am enthralled and enchanted by this tale! The academic side of me looks forward to the study of the twins' responses! Thanks for sharing! PW
Erestor. Dangnabbit. Elrond - where in the world did that come from?
I am enjoying this story very much.
Elladan, so sweet and so eager to please Erestor. Elrohir not so eager as his brother is, just by now... I guess he will be soon. Erestor, wicked and absolutely irresistible. I love that character.
The last two chapters were simply wonderful.
I am awaiting the next chapter. Thank you!
I'm quite sure I've not read anything as lovely as Elladan's submission. I had not expected him to be quite so compliant, or so sublime in his surrender, but he was a treasure, just as Erestor said.
Now, I must admit to quite a pang when Erestor was reminded of the deception Elohir and Elladan are perpetrating. I had gotten so nicely caught up in the lovely interaction between Elladan and Erestor, and was actually happy that Erestor had found somethng precious with Elladan. I hadn't expected to feel so strongly for Erestor. Kudos to you both for bringing me around, after all my grumblings over Erestor's appearance elsewhere.
Now I'll just have to hold my breath until Elrohir's appearance. That should prove entertaining!
Erestor is both terrifying and irresistible in this chapter. He's also honest to a fault, as much as Elladan. He is quite honest in not promising Elladan love, but his caring might be crueler still. We'll have to see, won't we?
But the lovely Elladan is a natural submissive, so eager to please despite all his qualms and fears. I'm so enjoying this exposition, and yet part of me wondes what lies in wait for Elrohir. A very different thing, I should think...
You are wicked, and wonderful, and I adore you both!
Lovely!
Erestor is just deliciously wicked. He plays the twins like a finely tuned orchestra, and they're utterly out of their league, poor young things.
I do love how completely self-aware Erestor is. He knows he's not an easy master, and I'm glad he made it clear to Elladan this will never be a two-way game. I couldn't imagine Erestor ever submitting, actually. But he is a completely delectable master. And won't Elladan have a good bit to tell Elrohir, never mind duplicating bruises? I don't Elrohir can pretend the submission Elladan offers, nor seek the same pain Elladan needs.
Thank you for a wonderful chapter!
What a lovely treat this was, and I can't begin to imagine how Elrohir thought he would deceive Erestor. I'm quite glad he decided to try, however, because I enjoyed it very much. I do think Elrohir is in well over his head, although Elladan may have just a bit more aptitude for such games. It'll be interesting to see if they can avoid Erestor's little trap of discord. They're so young, though, and Erestor has had so long to perfect his games.
Perfectly delicious!
I probably should have read this before I read the chapter of Prince in Training where Erestor showed up because I sort of dislike him for butting in with Legolas and his ada. That aside, I like this so far and I'm wondering when the other twin will come into play, that will be interesting...
Awaiting more as always and sorry I'm so far behind on reviewing!
