Wow~ The next chapter did come out really fast. Arigato. *grins* Where's Legolas?! I still think that it's a good idea if Legolas is the one to bind to Elrond instead *sticks out tongue* I think it's really sweet the way that the twins were trying to comfort Elrond. I know it's not always easy to write a new chapter but more onegai? *puppy eyes*

Aww... how sweet! Poor Elrond, although now I'm really curious over who he was with before... or did you mention it previously... Hmmm... a good excuse to read over the entire story again! Hehehe

My, you do post fast! Forgive me, I fell behind!

I am enjoying the plot and I'm sure you have a reason for these seemingly silly fears. I also wonder how things will work out for Elrond - assuming you are planning on a happy ending!

The touches of comedy are very nice, I especially like the banter between Glorfindel and Erestor.

Concrit time now:

I notice you often confuse 'there, their and they're'. All you need to remember is that:

There - always refers to a place.
Their - is always possessive.
They're - is simply short for 'they are'.

Regards,
Celegorm

EEE!!!!!! More more more more more!
Very nice chapter though, the twins all concerned for their Ada and worrying that he might fade. heh... *glances down at Elrond*... I don't think he's at any risk for that. He seems rather... er... content. For the moment, at least. :D

Well, I'm back, and wow, so many chapters I've come back to! Glorfindel's progressed quite happily I see. I loved the mural, that was so funny. It's nice to see the twins support and love their father no matter what. Hmm, I wonder if they could be brought into cahoots with Legolas....

Holiday? There's a holiday? *grin* I always end up working Memorial day myself. Such is they way with retail.
As far as this lastest chapter... *sigh* So sweet. And the murals were a nice touch. I was laughing quite hard at the image of Glorfindel with a sword and butterfly net.
So... do we get a bit of Legolas and his sister soon? As much as I'm eager to confront the butterfly issue, I need some Leggy! *smirk*

Ooooh! How errr... delightful! To quote a certain advisor. :D Although, I think I might be a little creeped out to find a picture of myself looking all sultry like at Glorfindel's bed! Well...maybe creeped out isn't exactly the right word. But I love the repainting of the mural in Erestor's room! How very charming!
Ewww! 9 am to midnight? Yuck. I'm only doing my usual 9-6, and no mailing so it should be an easy day. And then I'll head over to the Chamber of Commerce B-B-Q and fireworks display. Certain advantages to living in a resort town, really. In the meantime, I have a lovely Elven Lord who looks wonderful all tied to my bed with this wonderful pattern of multi-coloured jelly bellys all over him. I must come up with an appropriate punishment in case he struggles and ruins the pattern. Any ideas?

I love it. Glorfindel as Erestor's personal butterfly catcher. I could just picture the twins running around trying to nab a butterfly. Cute. Ah, but the scene in Glorfindel's bedroom. Very nice, as I'm certain Erestor would agree. The description of the mural was very well done. I just adore this fic and eagerly await the next chapter.

Heheh I burst out laughing when I read about the new mural on Erestor's bedroom. Glorfindel, the butterfly catcher indeed! Lol. A few comments that I want to make though they are not meant to be criticism but rather constructive advice =) Well, I noticed a few typo errors in the latest chapter so you might want to run a spell check or something. I also felt that the relationship between Glorfindel and Erestor seemed to have gotten intimate in a very fast period. Hehe then again maybe it's just me. Love your story though. The ideas of Erestor being afraid of butterflies and Glorfindel being afraid of paper cuts are very refreshing indeed. And I appreciate the fact that you have been getting the chapters out really fast. Thank you! *huggies*

Hi!

Yours is not the best piece of fanfiction I've ever read, but I find the "butterflies" thing really intriguing, and though sometimes your fic is a bit typical, it has some very interesting ideas and pretty good replies between characters. In general is pleasant to read and I will be waiting impatiently to know what the secret of Erestor fears is. Please, keep on writing and updating this often! Yours,

LAUAND
