This series gets more fascinating and beautiful the more I read it.

I've been thinking rather deeply about the rebirth of our lovely Aduial. First, it is a testament to the beauty and strength of his fea that he was reborn so quickly. He must have really impressed Namo.

Initially, I was getting frustrated with Legolas for not contemplating the possibility of Celebrian's and Elrond's child being Elrohir, but it finally occurred to me he was expecting Elrohir to come back to him whole. Which leads me to Elrohir's childhood. I am glad that Legolas finds it fascinating to watch Elrohir grow up. The thought of it made me feel a little odd, at first. Watching your lover go through diapers, potty training, the awkwardness of adolescence (although I think Elrohir would be fairly easy on this subject)... I shuddered at the thought. I was finally able to reconcile this after this last chapter, however. I think I see that for Legolas, this isn't quite yet his Aduial. The Elrohir that he is helping raise is not yet his Elf Knight. Legolas is still waiting for *his* Elrohir to emerge, and that will not happen until Elrohir reaches his majority and regains his memories.

It will be interesting to see Elrohir regain his memories.

My hackles wen whe when I read about the other elves who are so interested in Legolas. I can't blame them for being so dazzled by his comeliness, but my protective instincts reared up. I will definitely feel smug satisfaction once Elrohir is back and they see how foolish they were to try to intervene.

I am amazed at how you always manage to change the plot so that we see their incredible love anew...

I am relieved that Elrohir is slowly recalling things that happened to him in Middle Earth. I am just bothered at bit by Almariel's reactions. Did she not trust Legolas? How can she even think about Legolas with malice however slight? I hope she's the only one to do so. Excellent chapter as always. I love how you would inject statements Elrohir uttered before into his new life.

That was yet another great chapter. Rather hard for Legolas, though. But it will be even worse for him when Elrohir is nearer his majority. He will look all grown up but he will be still beyond Legolas's reach. "Tradition frowned upon Elvestheitheir minority satisfying their concupiscence in partnership with another. More abhorred was the taking of a child by a mature Edhel, even in the name of instruction." - do you recognize that one? I'm sure it will be pure agony for him to wait through those last years. Because I'm sure he will wait. Legolas, the decency personified. It should be funny.
I'll let you know that I think this whole series is single most inspired piece of fanfiction on the whole net. I just cannot get enough of it. I visit this site at least three times a day with naive tht tht that you've taken pity on me and updated. What's more, I live in Poland, the time difference is not that easy to sort out so I probably look for your updates at all the wrong times - I suppose even you can't post anything new while you're sleeping. Frustrating, really. The only consolation for me is the fact that it seems that I'm not the only one so hopelessly addicted to your sto.
A.
And there I get to the point. You can't possibly think about ending this series. What will happen to us poor readers? We will certainly fade from grief ( I hope it's not very painful ).
Then, on second thought, you are right, Greenleaf & Imladris must come to an end. Elrohil is no longer of Imladris; he was born in Artirion. Therefore Greenleaf & Artirion would be much more in order *hint*. That must have been what you meant. After all, Elves are immortal, they have long eventful lives *hint hint* that would be so interesting for you to write about *hint hint hint*. Especially such fantistic samples of the species as Legolas and Elrohir. *can I get any more obvious?*
Please?

Greatest apologies for having not reviewed in such a long time, too wrapped up in my Uni dissertation. But I have been following your fic faithfully like the addict that I am! I still need my daily dose of Greenleaf and Imladris no matter what.....hehe

I have loved this particular instalment since it's conception, from their great bond to Elrohir's death to his rebirth. Every single chp is written so beautifully they bring tears to my eyes. I still can't believe you made me cry so much in that chp where Elrohir 'passed away'. I've never been reduced to such a state from any fanfiction before, and that's the effect your moving writing has on me. I can only thank you for touching me with your stories. I will mourn the day when this series ends and you stop writing. You are an amazing writer!

I will be awaiting your next chp! Elrohir's early years with Legolas is just so heartwarming..... ^____^

Eeeeks! I sure hope people don't get the wrong idea from Legolas allowing himself to 'sleep with' little Elrohir. Hehe - and as Elrohir grows into his more adult form, I imagine its going to get pretty hard for poor Leggy to keep such trysts chaste. Please update again tomorrow!!

You really spoil us with all these chapters :) But I don't mind! Hehe...

Anyway, I am enjoying Elrohir's childhood especially because of the memories...I was not quite sure if the Elrohir 'reborn' would be the same Elrohir as the one in Middle earth. But, the more I read, the more reassured I am that they are indeed the one and the same.

This also shows how much Celebrian and Elrond trust Legolas...to let your young child go with a mature elf to whom he is essentially bonded...I believe it will be especially hard in the last 5 years before Elrohir reaches maturity, all those hormones (if elves have those *g*) and all. Well, I am babbeling now, so I'll just shut up and read the chapter again!!

very very good :) jeez so prosumptous little thing ;) cute

can't wait for more

I haven't read anything as beautiful as these two last chapters in years. I simply do not know how I will manage without your stories, Eresse! You'll have to continue writing another immediately.

You do understand that you have built a world of trust and love that can be found in few places in literature, don't you?

aww I feel so bad for Legolas having to suffer through all of this!
Hopefully soon Elrohir will come to him!
Great chapter!!! I'm looking forward to more.
