Disclaimer: Tolkien's world and characters, just my take on it.

Above me, the sky has darkened to the colour of a grey goose’s feather and soft lights line the edge of the harbour. He is not coming. The words echo through me. It is they that make me shiver, not the freshness of the breeze off the harbour. I pull my cloak around me, as though that will warm me. The sky is leaden now and a lonely seabird’s call pierces the quiet. Beyond it, I hear the creak of ropes and turn away. He is not coming.

Suddenly, Elrohir is beside me and takes my hand. He has come.

Thank you for this! I've just read a wonderful, but horribly depressing tale about Elrohir - and this puts everything right. He and Elladan are together, as they should be.

Absolutely. I'm undecided as to whether I think they went or stayed - but whatever they did I'm sure they did together.

Beautiful evocation on the Havens, and of the twins.

Thank you.

Ahem - poet's write more than verse.

Beautifully phrased.

Thank you - and your icon goes very well with it. You know, the whole thing got written because I saw a grey goose at the Easter Show and knew I needed to compare it to an evening sky.

Of course he came! So very touching with just the right amount of angst. Patty.

Thank you. I'm so pleased it made sense to people - as usaul I had so much description in there I had great difficulty squeezing in any plot ;-)

Wow! Nicely done. Good balance. I tend to lean towards they stayed, but I definately believe they did it together. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks. Yes, mostly I think they stayed - but I've been known to write it other ways
