Comments on The Carriage held but just Ourselves

The Silmarillion Writers' Guild is more than just an archive--we are a community! If you enjoy a fanwork or enjoy a creator's work, please consider letting them know in a comment.

I think I liked Tindómiel's passing best, and of course Beren and Luthien going to their future hand in hand (and the image of Finrod, oh that was perfect!) I love Elwing and how you wrote her feels right, and my heart ached for Arwen as it always has. Her father was right, it was a bitter reckoning, I think. 

I'm so glad I spotted these in my SWG feed.
