Why this must be read:
Hi, I'm Castalia, your LOTR driver for this month. I'm going to be reccing a veritable hodgepodge of fics, focusing on some lesser-known works and characters who don't always get the spotlight. There will be gen and slash, and a good smattering of humor.
In fact, that's what we're starting with, humor. This fic never fails to bring the funny, and I still giggle at it as much on the fiftieth reading as on the first. afrai is a master at writing humor, and here she gives us an entirely unique spin on what Elrond might have been thinking directly before the Council.
For though he does not have the power of Galadriel, who can see deep into the minds of Elves and Men and all races alike, and who can speak directly to minds without words even though many miles separate the bodies -- and who, incidentally, uses this power at the most inconvenient times, like lunch-time and privy-time and this-really-isn't-the-time-time -- though Elrond does not share the Lady's power in equal measure, he has power of his own. For he is Elrond, son of Earendil, brother of the sire of kings (although sometimes he wishes Elros had thought better of that, particularly when Estel visits and they have to sprinkle ammonia in the passages to hide the smell), and when he gives people a special look, thinks really hard, and wiggles his eyebrows in a specific way, people are very impressed.
