I just love Haldir in your fic. He’s so much like me :P Too bad he won’t be ‘interest’ in our favourite prince of Mirkwood...Would be fun to see Glorfindel’s possessive side.

Why? I'd love for Haldir to make advances on Leggy, but Glorfindel be overbearing and protective of out young Princeling and fight Haldir away. Not only would it assert how much Glorfindel loves Leggy, but would build Leggy's self-asteem knowing that despite everything, people are still able to find him attractive. Ok, and, even if you don't put it in any time soon, then maybe once the story is finished, you could go back and add it in, please? For me? (I know, I ask a lot of things).

Unless... You plan for Erestor and the Elves of Imladris to be turning up eventually, and Haldir and Erestor are going to shag, in which case it would be stupid for aldir to go after two Elves. So, is that it? Is Erestor and Haldir going to shack up, or have I got it wrong for a change?

Ok, well, you can expect the pic in the next 24 hours or so (stupid scanner's playing up again).

Anyway, I just LOVED the scene between Leggy and Haldir about hunting. SO cute! Though I was expecting a little tent action, and am a little disappointed it wasn't there, though I'm sure there'll be a lot of Elf smut eventually, so I can wait.

Ooooh, so, all the Elves are on the brink of battle, eh? I hope all goes well for them. Especially wittle Legsie. Though, with Glorfindel watching his back(side *g*), I'm sure he's in good hands.

By the way, I thought it was so sweet when Leggy said he wouldn't mind Glorfindel sleeping naked on the beach. That was just adorable. Course, gotta feel sorry for Glorfindel being embarassed like that.

Anyway, can't wait for the next update.

Though I have not yet reviewed, you are doing marvelously! This is excellently written; you put a lot of feeling into your story and characters, and it shows.

However, for your latest chapter, 21, I have found something I find a little...odd. You wrote:
"Elrond had recognized me from his childhood and he and I became quick friends and he even dubbed me his second in command should anything ever happen."
I don't know if you stated before whether your story is AU or not (if you had, you may disregard this), but this is not possible. In the history of the Silmarillion, Earendil was the son of Idril Celebrindal, daughter of Turgon who was king of Gondolin, and Tuor, a mortal Man; Glorfindel was one of twelve lords of Gondolin at this time. The Fall of Gondolin occurred in FA 510 (or 511 according to some sources). This makes Earendil only seven years old when Gondolin fell and all but a two or three of its lords killed; Glorfindel was among one of these lords as he protected Tuor, Earendil, Idril and the survivors of Gondolin. Elrond would not be born until about FA 525, some 15 years later.

According to this history, Elrond would not be able to recognize Glorfindel. Unless you are saying Glorfindel was reborn in Arda, went to Aman and then was sent back to Arda but I did not get that impression when I was reading the chapter. I thought you would like to know in case you missed that fact. I'm fairly well-versed in the comings and goings surrong Gng Gondolin and its Elves (have to be otherwise I wouldn't get so many nice reviews about canon and continunity for The Flower and The Fountain).

In any case, I look forward to reading more. Can't wait for the next chapter; don't keep us waiting too long! :)

-bow- Thank yeh for the present! cha chapter and this one. ^_^ And it's okay with spelling, I know the feeling of wng tng to get something down before it *spoofs*. Elr Elrond took Theoden's line! -dance- I noticed! Not like I'm... I'm... -searches for a word- Angry..? about it, but normally I don't notice, but I did!

Aww, Zipper sounds so nifty. It's really funny because your's is a four year old, mine's twenty two! -anime style sweat drop- Yeah, she can drink /and/ drive /and/ smoke all at the same time, if she wanted too that is. she's only fifteen two hands, but I'm short, it all works. A bay I tht sht she was, but then people are saying to me she's a liver chestnut...So now I'm very confused, but a bay she stays. She's adorned with a star and all four socks, with proves to be quite annoying to clean for shows and the like. She's a thoroughbred something... Unknown! That's it, unknown! ^^ But she used to be a polo pony at some fancy-pancy rich girl boarding school, then she retired and got shuffled off to me. She'sl swl sweet, does anything really but she sometimes has an attitude problem. I let her be used for younger kid's lessons and it's very funny to watch them try to get her to do something, and she has this habit of craning her neck around and staring at you with this look, it's hilarous. I crawl under her belly all the time, though -looks around- Shh! Nobody's supposed to know that! I break the rules with her, it's so fun. But she hates ponies and donkeys, kinda sad really. To her there are miniature demons in disguise. I could talk about them forever and a day if i could. ^^

Adore the story -bows before the author-master- And I hope I'm not being a annoying nag, but yeah. -innocently whistles and points to spelling-
huff beats=hoof beats
up most =utmost
up-most pleasure=utmost
And I might be wrong(nope, I'm always wrong! ^_^) and not to be critical of the Elvish your using, -has loved learning new words- But I always thought 'Namarie' was spelled with two a's like 'Namaarie' ... Might just be me. -runs away, burying face in hands- I'm a spelling freak! -goes to cry in corner for being such a percfectionist-

-gasps- You have a horse! O_O What breed? I have a horse too! -hugs mare- She's a.. a... -ponders- thoroughbred with an orc attitude sometimes. ^_^

And I love the little Leggy flashbacks and scenes, the one with Gandalf was so funny. Little Legolas is so adorable, him having tantrums and bringing Nuarhir home. Could Nuarhir come back?! -puppy-dog eyes- He's sooooooooooooo cute! -wants to glomp Nuarhir-

-bows again- I am under the power of the author! Lovely, /lovely/ story and every new chapter is as good as the last, which they are all great!

That little Legolas and Mithrandir was just so cute arecirecious. I love him when he is little and come to think of it when he is grown up too.
Now here they go off to war. At least they will kill all the spiders they can. I really hate spiders.
I read two chapters at once so I need to comment on them both.
Yes go burn the old icky spider's babies. I always say no babies and no horses killed in stories I read but in just the last week I read a dwarf mommie and baby being burned up by a dragon and somone killwo hwo horsies. I have been devastated this so so to make up for it I will just think of spiders being destroyed and the queen and her eggs being burnt up. See I feel better already.
That was a very loving sandwich scene. How old is Legolas by now? He seems to be getting quite an education lately. I am glad that he will get over the orc attack. He doesn't deserve to have his life ruined by nasssty orcsss.
Thanks for the new chapters. I may have missed one because of my running around but I did get caught up. On to battle, ruin and a red sky. giggle

Oh yes, very sated. Thanks

And I like that Haldir and his brothers are in it. Gives the story a lot more scope. Any chance Haldir might notice Leggy's good looks and try to seduce our favourite princeling? Or have I got this prediction wrong for a change? *g*

Just one thing, 'up-most' should be 'ut-most' and 'shutter' should be 'shudder'. Not that it's a big deal as people know what you mean anyway, I just thought you might want to know.

Luv Mawgy

(way too many late nights and early mornings. falling asleep at the desk, sorry. I'll draw you ano pic pic to make up for this very short review, yes?).

Oh no ! More angst ! I can’t take it anymore... Please ! Just don’t kill anyone !
And I must say you made me blush slightly with this chapter :P
I just love Haldir in your story even though he appeared for a short time. There will be more of him, right ?
