To let you know I'm reading it, as all authors whose works are read deserve to have some appreciation. It is such a torture-filled story that I wonder at myself for coming back. I am hoping we don't have to have too much more of that, as I hate having to hate Thranduil. Something screams in me that no elf could be so heinous. Of course, I am assuming the Valar will assign him some version of elf hell.

I feel guilty for following it, so I remain anonymous. What in us would have us read such things? There must be evil in us to find some kind of prurient interest fed by Legolas suffering in this way. The nuturer in us wants to know the Legolas of your story has some comfort for the hurt, and I ache for Thranduil to be exposed, to have Elrond and Glorfindel know all. Will this happen? I need not just justice in enlightenment and suffering for Thranduil, but comfort from the people Legolas respects, knowling that they know everything and hold him blameless. It is simply awful in this time-skipping method of yours to know he has centuries of the worst kind of suffering ahead. Why can't he stay away? Why can't Glorfindel, who loves him, save him from this?

I finally caught up and read all of the chapters of your incredibly fantastic fanfiction. It takes a lot to disturb me and I have to tell you that I have been so thoroughly disturbed in the last couple days while reading this that I haven't been able to sleep. And I applaud you with all my heart!!!!!! I physically and mentally felt Legolas's humiliation and pain down in the pit of my stomach and felt like throwing up for him because he couldn't seem to do it. I've read a lot of fics where Legolas is tortured and raped, etc...but this is by far one of the best I've read. Such detail in your descriptions, I wish I could write like that. I've written a couple of fics, which are posted at ff.net and although I get a lot of praise for them, I still wish I could squeeze more out of my head to fill in the empty gaps I know exist between the lines.

I'm not a big fan of slash-type relationships, but in your fic, it's the only way to go. Legolas having a relationship with a female just wouldn't work in this well-thought out storyline, so that's another reason I'm applauding you, for getting me so deeply into this story that I overlook the male/male relationships.

Soooooooooo......when are you going to give us another chapter? I am dying to know who in the Fourth Age Legolas sacrificed himself for. Who???????? How about just a tiny little hint? :o)

Oh! Yes! Another chapter! Thank you! I loved it, Glorfindel taking care of Legolas, and even giving him his bed, that was so sweet! And I love the way you're making Elrond a sort of father-figure for Legolas.

Please write more soon.

I love this fic, I don't know when i started reading it, but i just love it. I can relate to the pain Legolas goes through (not exactly obviously, but it's close) I enjoy and suffer so much reading this fic... but here i am. masochist, huh? Oh well, i love this fic and i hope it never ends. Happy writing!

*sniff* That was so sad. Glad to see you updated again, this is one of my favourite fics and you always manage to have me hanging on the edge of my seat waiting for more.

oh yeah, and just for clarification, Legolas of Mirkwood and Legolas of Gondolin are NOT the same elf, for the record.

Beautiful. I liked the approach you gave to Legolas, the fact that he can feel the cold because of his suffering, nice touch. I can´t even imagine how uncomfortable it must be to walk around in the snow only covered with elven clothes... it must be COLD!

Another detail that i liked was that Legolas kept calling Lindir lord, as Lindir kept calling him prince. Elrond and Glorfindere ere amazing too. I´m looking forward to read the next chapter.

So nice to see you've updated again. Another wonderful chapter, please update again soon.

Fantastic :)
