Only Valawen can fix things, eh? How? I know that confession is good for the soul, will that be sufficient for her? When she meets with the twins, and admits to her part in everything, will it begin her healing? And what about the world of Men, what (if anything) does Galadriel expect her to do about the changes taking place (or about to) in Gondor and Rohan? (Am I going to have to let Eomer out of our cozy little cave?)

“He [Legolas] has lost much, and aims to save you.” Hmm, this kinda, sorta, in a roundabout way sounds almost like how Faramir and Eowyn got started. Could this be the beginnings of love for our favorite Mirkwood princeling?

Yes. Yes, I do know why you’re staring. *grins evilly* But don’t be angry at Boromir, he really can’t help it, I am, after all, a Mary Sue in disguise. muahahaha

Sorry, you two, for being hopelessly behind with my reviews, but I am kicking a flu bug's ass, so to speak! ;) Still reading though and hope I will find my brain again really soon, so I can manage a proper and well-deserved update again asap. Until then... I am still reading and loving every line of your stories, ladies! :)

You torture me. Turly, you do. It's so good, but never enough...just like the palantir...*begins to hum softly*

V: STOP THAT!
Me: It's mine. Come near it, and I'll throw you to the angry trees in Fangorn Forest.
Leg: Fangorn? What?
Me: *pets him* Nothing. Go back to the bed.
Leg: Oh. All right.

:)

My mouth waters with an-ti-ci-paay-tion. *veg*

I read the chaptert night, but I was so sleepy I had to re-read it again this morning. I really enjoyed it, though. If I were Galdriel, I'd be hard pressed not to make V earn her place among elves again! V does have a point, though-where the hell is she going to go? She cannot return to Imladris, and she certainly cannot reurn to the world of Men, who distrust her. I highly doubt she'd feel comfortable staying in Lorien.

V: This sucks. Royally.
Me: Yeah, well, maybe you should have thought of that before you decided to barge in on Aragorn in his private quarters when he looked half asleep.
A: Don't drag ME into this. I'm dead.
Me: Serves you right, too. Bastard.
V: O.o

I like Legolas more than I normally do in this story. He seems more in character than usual. Not that I don't ALWAYS adore him, but he seems especially real in this tale.

Ahh! You are killing me with the TBC. I know, I will stop being greedy. Did I mention how much I am liking Legolas?
I think it was a very good idea to skip a blow by blow fight out of Minis Tirith. Very much looking forward to the rest of the story.
Congrats on finishing.

24 Chappies! Wow, Frosty, that’s gotta be some kinda record for you. Way to go, girlie! Okay, back to the important stuff, the review…

Can it be true? Will the elves be as forgiving as Legolas would have us believe? After all, Valawen murdered Celeborn and Galadriel’s son-in-law, and was in cahoots with the man who murdered their granddaughter. I know the elves are portrayed to be better than Men physically (i.e. stronger, heightened senses, etc.), does that extend to their emotions? Hmm, just wondering… And speaking of wondering, is Legolas being nice to V just ‘cuz he’s wonderful and realizes she needs a friend, or does he want more? Does he want to be a (as Alannys Morriset (sp?) might say) friend with 'benefits'? *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

BTW Frosty, when Boromir’s with you, he’s thinking of ME! :-p

“Long, thought-out reviews,” from this lot? *snort* Ah, well, we all have to dream, don’t we?

Speaking of dreams, when you mentioned in your A/N for chapter 22, I had a brief (& horrifying) thought that perhaps Valawen would awaken from a dream to find herself in Imladris with Elrond. The dream, however, was a nice touch. A turning point for her.

So glad to see Legolas escape! I knew we could count on him. Our shining white stallion riding us … oops! I mean riding his shining white stallion to rescue us. Yeah, that’s what I meant. Could this mean this story might actually have an uplifting ending. (I realize it’s too much to hope for an actual “happy” ending. *grins*)

BTW: Boromir (once I let him come up for air *waggles eyebrows*) says he doesn’t like Faramir in this version of ‘reality,’ and that this is what comes of having an AU without him.

I feel, muh like the atmosphere of the story, that this chapter was the waking from the dream of the last chapter. Like V. being told what to do and then resolving herself to actually do it. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although it must pain Valawen to know that she should have simply asked for the Palantir in the first place. Who knows, if she had spun a good enough tale, Faramir might have appeased her anyway!

Why was Legolas kneeling? It made a strong mental picture in my mind that evoked powerful emotions concerning absolution--like the knight errant kneeling before his queen, knowing she is a sinner. And I though his answer to her questioning of his motivations was great: "Because I can."

I wonder what will happen as they try to reach Lorien before Faramir catches them, or if the Palantir will corrupt Legolas, or whether the elves will slowly open up to each other and face Faramir one last time...the possibilities are endless. I hope they have a really cool escape plan to flee Minas Tirith and to fool the guards.

Wow good chapter..must have more.

Thank you for not killing Legolas. (so far)

Squeeeeeee!!!

That was so cool. And relatively in character, too. Finally, Valawen doesn't act like a wuss. XD Faramir was wonderfully evil. I like how V didn't find out about L's escape from him, too. Don't even get me started how cool Legolas was...*drools*

I simply cannot wait to find out what happens next! *runs around in circles, hyper*
