ch. 4 - This was so intense. You actually made me cry! You are just too good at writing angst. The emotions of the characters came through very well. I love this, and I love how complex it is. ButI think the most profound part for me was Legolas getting beaten by his own guards. It would seem that theye ale also his friends, or at least those who grew up with him in the Wood. That makes it all the more hard to bear I imagine. I can't wait to see what awaits Legolas in Imladris. Excellent story! Thanks so much for sharing.

ch 3 - The detail in this is wonderful. I love the insight into Elrond's thoughts, and I love the image of Legolas he has gained. I also think the interactions and dialogue are believeable, and what I would call appropriate for elves. Too often, stories with a great plot and pairing are ruined because the author n'tn't seem to be able to write realistic descriptions and/or characterizations of an ethereal elf (well, as realistic as ficiton can be;) You have no problem there, and that makes your story a lot easier to really get into. I can't wait to see how this progresses.

Well that was very interesting. The healers and elves around Thranduil's stronghold seem to be totally clued in on what is in store for Legolas and Elrond is a lot less clueless now.
The explanation that the prince gave about his responsibility for the deaths was fascinating. Like Tolkien said the Woodland elves were dangerous and less wise. I can easily see this in your story. So Elrond can now see the beauty of the prince also. You are muddying the waters nicely.
I am glad the Legolas has been cared for. The reasoning behind why he could not advertise his wounds was good. It shows he has fortitude, loyalty to his men and the courage to take the sentence on himself.
I look forward to more even though I know it soon will get painful for the prince and those who come to care for him. giggle

Thranduil is old!old! Poor Legolas needs a hug (and someone to yank out that arrow). Another excellent chapter. :o)

Hey, what do you mean it will be a while until the good stuff? This has been awesome from the get go. I was thrilled that you updated, because I've had this story on my mind these last few days. It has all the elements I love; Hero Legolas, injustice on the part of Thranduil, and the interest and respect of both Elrond and Glorfindel towards our lovely Prince. Lovely! I can't wait for more!

>> To Kryspen, I foresee that it will be fairly long, so you are right.<< YAY!

>> I think I’ve got the ‘H’ pretty well laid out...<< LOL I have no doubt...

>> however I’m not as comfortable with the ‘C’ as you put it, so if you would like you could give me some suggestions later on.<< Oh there must be COMFORT for our brave sweet Legolas, who is seems to give of himself with great love for those around him. I am happy he has drawn the attention of such as Glorfindel [I adore that pairiand and the protective nature of Elrond. Sounds like Thranduil is going to be quite the heartless bastard.... oh my...

OOH Evil Thranduil. I like a nice Thranduil with a little Legolas but an evil king with a angsty Legolas is good too.
So two of the blond characters were eyeing each other as much as possible during the ride back to the stronghold. Nice start of a little romance or even a lot of romance or just some total elf smut whichever way you choose to go.
I am glad to hear that this will be long. I just love long, searing, angst-filled stories with lots of things going on. Gives me a to lto look forward too.
I am looking forward to this little ceremony appeasing the deaths at the behest of the forest. I can foresee some not too pleasant times ahead for our prince. giggle

Well this sounds like a good tale. Full of angst, horror, elf sex, mpreg (one of my favorites) and unrequited love. Or requited love but with star crossed lovers. I never tire of this in all combinations.
It was nicely written and wasn't too wordy.
As far as AU goes for me personally all works besides those of the good professor are AU. Peter Jackson's movie is AU. Also Christopher Tolkien is AU. I enjoy and appreciate what they have given us but only the professor's own words for publication are canon.
I also appreciate what fan writers share with us. I am unable to write anything more complicated than a grocery list so I need fanon writers to feed my obsession. Thank you in advance for a new story. giggle

Ummm . . . I'm confused. I like this fic and it has great potential, but it's quite hard to work out what's going on. It might be an idea to use a character's name (or at least a description) instead of loads of "he"s, especially wyou\you're moving from one character to another. Otherwise very good, with plenty of description and scene-setting - hope you update soon!

Kiril! Most intriguing! And it appears we're in for a lengthy tale [which I LOVE] as it begins way before 'The Hpbbit' and through 'Lord of thr Rings'? Excellent.
I don't mind the rough stuff at all, being a major H/C addict... but do look forward to that eventual 'C'.
Riveting beginngint... You've definitely got my attention!
