I like "Emissary of the Mark" very much btw. It's a pleasure to read fics about the people of Rohan, other than the generic Eomer/Eowyn/Theodred ones as it seems they take up 95% of the Rohan stories. Not that I don't like them *points to my Karl Urban avatar* but sometimes I think the ordinary people who are the backbone of the court/riders/farmers get neglected.

I just got done re-reading "Anuminas" too and I keep seeing Elrond's face as I saw it at the end of the LOTR marathon on tv Sunday night, when he encourages Arwen to step into her future. He must have had a very similar look on his face when he finally accepted that Elladan had chosen the fate of Elros and that he would lose him too.
