God! You are breaking my heart here! I just want to grab Legolas and shake him! Poor Elrohir....."sob"
I love this story, simplly wonderful!

Wow, this was such a touching chapter. The bond between the twins is written so convincingly, and my heart goes out to both of them, though for very different reasons. Elladan is so protective of his younger brother. I know how that feels, the terror of the thought of losing a younger sibling. For Elrohir, it is his poor heart. The way he suffers in silence for his love of Legolas. I keep saying it, but it remains true. Elladan is the voice of wisdome; Elrohir has to tell Legolas, though he may have his reasons to remain silent. It is difficult to find a good time to confess something of that magnitude, though. On one hand, the time apart may help Legolas come to terms with the truth, but on the other hand, as Elrohir said, he needs resolution, for fear that he will not return. Your writing is every bit as complicated as life is, making it completely believible.

Beautiful

Absolutely loving the story. Completely and utterly hooked. So much so, that instead of studying for finals, I was dreaming up possible futures for our dear legolas and elrohir... and found myself wishing evil upon my favorite prince of mirkwood. Seems to me, in an attempt to hold off evil boromir from lapsing under the control of the ring, legolas might offer his body to the man, thinking - 'hey, i've done this before, i can be with a male again if it helps the quest' and then realize (a bit too late) how different it was to give himself to elrohir. His experience with the man would be less than pleasant, and he would resort to thoughts of elrohir to see him through and keep him fighting, and thus realize his love... and have all the lovely angst of then thinking himself tainted by the man's touch. haha. :)

Oh, I really like how you explained Legolas' reasons for wanting to go on the quest, uncertain as it was. |^_^| And Gandalf and Elladan's discussion was very well concieved. There are so many mysteries concerning the twins after the book ends.
*turns on legolas threateningly* And you had better get your act together mister! *shakes head sadly* He's so clueless... I can't say much because I'm rather clueless when it comes to things like that as well, but I think even I'd catch on if it was staring me in the face for centuries... He's *beyond* clueless...

I really really love this just want to bang Elonir and Legolas's head's together and get them sorted. it's justy so gahhhhhhhhhh........... fab though very well done. sorry short review i seem to be doing them late this week, i hate insomnia :)

Ah, literary loopholes, what would we do without them? This was a spectacular chapter! Starting with a quote from Tolkien was an excellent approach; it further strengthens your fiction to tie it so closely with the original work. If you were to footnote the passage, rather than add the explanation in parentheses, the flow would be nearly seamless from his words to yours. You have such a sophisticated style.

I am very excited by the possibilities you present here. I find it interesting that the binding need not be reciprocal for Elrohir to remain in Middle Earth without choosing the fate of Men. Of course, it is the unfortunate nature of love for even the purest of loves to be one-sided from time to time. It is also unfortunate, though not entirely unexpected, that Legolas fears his desire. Absence makes the heart grow fonder... perhaps the time away from Elrohir will do him, both of them, good.

Wow, poor Elrohir, he's just going to be torn for the rest of his life.... I love how you handled keeping the twins in ME longer. I'm kinda wondering how the twins took their little brother falling in love their sister... you kinda skipped over that. I'm so loving the story, My day lights up when I see that you update.
