Kudos to Haldir. Out of all the experienced rulers, advisors and politicians in the room, it was Haldir to give sound advice to Legolas to balance his duties and life and the how-tos. How sweet to read about Elladan and Orophin's binding. Don't remember who Rumil is suppose to be involved with though. I hope you can squeeze in some more of Filigree and Lindar. They are such an unusual, interesting and adorable co.
.

Running out of new and original compliments as to your chapters, but they are always consistently engrossing, entertaining and emotionally involving. Wleavleave my biggest praise for your story and you at the end.

Oh no I love elflings to bits and it wasn't sappy at all.
The descriptions of his little tufts of gold hair and Legolas' response to finally seeing him without being so drugged out was great.
You really do feel strange when they hand the baby to you and say OK now time to learn how to feed it. Yipes!
Glorfindel is going to be such a great adar. The elfling will have a bow and arrows by the time he walks and both parents will start teaching him how to use them. I can see da'adar Thranduil giving him a little quiver and da'adar Haldir a tiny Galadrhim bow. Sheesh is this kid going to be loved or what.
Yes of course we want elf smut but sweet is OK too.
Thank you for the sweet little elfling and his start in life. I'm going to go back and reread sweet right now. giggle

What a bloody mess. And you're right your last chapter now makes much more sense.
At least Legolas doesn't have to have another baby. My sister's twins were born almost forty eight hours apart so this is possible. They were not identical needless to say.
Get them back to Imladris and let them both heal. Who is going to help who? They are both pretty much basket cases right now.
Thranduil and Haldir are kind of cute. They will be so cute as grandpas.
Thank you for another update. Things are getting very exciting now toward the end. giggle

Although Legolas is completely exhausted and fighting infection, I'm glad that he is still conscious and able to get healing care from Elrond. Also, Thranduil is able to connect and support him at this critical time.

Elladan and Oropher, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Elladan finally getting his life together is a good thing. You are getting loose ends tied up here.
Oh Glorfindel's new son, well first and maybe last son unless he has one himself. Legolas is not going to be in any kind of mood to have more for a few centuries. Unfortunately elves have great memories.
And who's ada's little boy? Gonna have ada wrapped around his little tiny finger. Probabaly already has. Glorfindel is doomed.
Icky. Elrond up to his elbows in Legolas' blood. I had a C Section and I don't like to think about all this kind of stuff most of the time. Legolas may be out cold or so fuzzy he may not remember much. I hope so.
Yes Legolas being strong and a fighter. Glorfindel feels the bond between them and knows Legolas is still fighting to stay alive.
Hungry? Poor little elfling is very hungry and Glorfindel smells likeoopyoopy diaper. Go take a bath in the nearest stream. Elves are clean for goodness sakes.
Celulas - Spring Leaf. I like that. It is very silvan, honors his maternal elf parent and ada likes it. Some researchers say you have a father name and a mother name. One is usually very formal and usually Quenya and the mother name is for every day use. I have never seen this in writing myself so don't quote me.
Celulas wants his mommy. Other parent, whatever. I have a harde wie with Legolas being called a mommy but he is undeniably the only one Celulas has that fits the description.
Glorfindel can use his link to strengthen Legolas I hope. The adar is supposed to give of his fea to the child also so maybe his can strengthen Legolas now. Of course Tolkien says thatthe the parent isn't there for one reason or another the child is just not as strong. This is AU you do what has to be done.
Close to the end. Sigh! All good things must end. I wish all bad things would do the same but they seem to go on forever.
Thanks for the update of the big moment and we look forward to more. giggle
