Chapter 99
(I hope it is chapter 99. I am very behind and hope I don't get lost.
Legolas is such a glutton for punishment. Here he is haring and careening around cold stone, bleeding like a stuck pig and not in a good place mentally as well. Sigh. So if Thranduil doesn't show up then Legolas is always wrong about him. They just aren't on the same page as it were. Legolas and Oropher would be just as Oropher and Thranduil weren't. Legolas still needs recognition from his father though. Just because you hate your father and despise what he is you still need his love. Sad really. Legolas still feels the need to blame everything bad that happens on his father though. Ningloriel's treatment of him was not really based on Thranduil, she was desirous of Elrond's company not Legolas'. I feel that Legolas was her ace in the hole and whether she loved him or not I can't really tell. She loved herself more that's for sure and whether she had any love left over for anyone else is a debatable point. She wanted Elrond but whether she actually loved him is a moot point. Elrond loves only himself and his progeny so they had their little dance of deceit for a long time and then it was over.
I thought the phrase "all that he loves taken from him" was pretty apposite. So far that is true and must be very painful. Hard to trust also. Maybe Erestor can heal those wounds when he finally wakes up.
I have to disagree about the "little ones" though. Even if they lost the king and/or his concubine they would still have Lindcalon and Legolas. He seems to want them to have this ideal family that doesn't exist. Now that the king realizes what Meril has done that little fantasy died aborning. I think Legolas especially would be able to succor them with the power of Tawar but you have a plot to move along and if that is what he wants to believe then let him.
I thought this part of the stronghold sounded icky. I hate the idea of squeaky things in the dark. I did like the idea that elves never have silence. They hear their own breath, heart beating and blood shushing through their veins/arteries. Shivery place to be though. He does have a little elven glow left so he isn't in total darkness. I also liked the treads of the steps being worn down by Thranduil going down to count his wealth. In this story anything that degrades the Royal louse is OK with me. I really like to hate him here. Oh and I love the word horripilation. I read it once in a Lovecraft story and looked it up. I enjoy learning new words although now at my age I don't remember them like I could when I was younger. (I just had a birthday and I am way to close to Social Security time. Sigh.)
What a nasty bit of work the king is. No wonder the Sinda follow him no matter what. They are probably afraid of what he would do to them and theirs if they disagreed. He has become strong by slowly eliminating his foes and those who will not bend to his will. Yes Legolas is tough and toughminded also. I like the idea of him linked to Oropher and not Thranduil. Well not your Thranduil anyway. I laughed at the elves being proud, noble and arrogant. And we can chalk up more hate for the king from these three when they learn how Legolas has been treated.
I was surprised that the three thought that Mando's Halls were closed to the forest elves. This was all Thranduil's fault not the silvan's. But being in the forest as unhoused ones would be OK for a silvan elf anyway. I know that everyone writes that every elf left Arda to go to the Undying Lands but I don't think they did. The faithful would probably see no reason to go to a place where they would feel unwanted by the other elves. Always considered dark elves for not dwelling in the light of the two trees would get wearying after while.
At least Legolas now understands about what Thranduil has done. It is amazing to me that he keeps sheltering the king despite all the destruction he has committed. I would consider both parents as liable for elfling abuse if those elflings didn't stay totally under the king's domination. I think the king would have killed both Legolas and Lindcalon is he could have done it without any repercussions. Look what he did to his two brothers. He is one scary and lousy elf.
Well Legolas got help and in the nick of time because his artery was cut. If he were a man he would be dead by now, actually before now. So Fearfaron will keep him from passing out and Gladdy will sew up the bad bits and go get some comforts for him.
The statement that Sauron and Thranduil are much alike is quite an admission from Legolas. He is finally seeing the king for what he really is. Let's kill him for Legolas. He never needs to know it was us. I wrote that in my notes before I read "He shall die". Well great minds think alike. Now if I just had even the pretense of a great mind;o)
The scene in the Sentinel with the unhoused fear of the three was so nice. Legolas saw gratitude, appreciation and respect. He just couldn't recognize it because he had never seen it. Others may have respected him but since he can't see it he would never know. I don't think even Erestor has shown him respect yet. Just lust. He needs to see it from the one who claims to love him. He still has this strong death wish but at least the three let him know that he is still needed and he should give this up. Keep note of that Tawarwaith. We want you alive also.
Now we have another secret. Both at the beach and in the stronghold someone was telling him things that were not true. He needs to remember that. There is a SOMEONE out there who has it in for you. Gladdy and Fearfaron don't need to be so worried now. Legolas states he is not ready to join the unhoused ones in Tawar. He must realize he has more to do than just this mission of caring for his step-siblings. It is about time he realizes he has worth beyond the way elves think of him.
I hope I can get busy and catch up. I also have the other two stories you have started to review also, as soon as I get caught up here.

Ohhhhhh.... that was SO lovely......... What a grand, marvelous, sweaty, wonderful chapter.... all three chapters are just wonderful, un-beta'd or not.... HOW I have been waiting for this!! :-) Thank you!
I am so relieved that Erestor has his memory mostly back... and that things are improving. And what a lovely way to help him improve.... LOL! Legolas the Healer-waith.... :-)
Marvelous stuff, and as always, well worth the wait.
Now when are you going to explain the significance of Erestor's reaction to the Emeralds?? :-) Yes, greedy readersssess, the moment you give them three chapters they beg for three more.... :-)
I almost have come to sorta like Thranduil. So complicated, so needy.... so strange.... so... like his son.... ;-) Freud would have a field day....
Lovely stuff, my dear. Thank you SO much!!
