Such a beautiful chapter... beginning in darkness, progressing to the lovely threesome, so wicked and yet still somehow made innocent by their love, and ending with the passionate wonder of Elrond's love for Celebrían. The entire chapter was intoxicating, and the wonderful bits of humor in between were sublime. Thranduil's default position, indeed. So wicked, the King is, and how wonderful it was for Elrond to have his family back again.

Still, there's a lingering chill form Elrond's visions, and my heart aches.

Ai, Elrond is simply glorious, even if he still manages to be the Teacher even in his sweet submission. Thranduil is wicked indeed, though, and I admit I squeaked just a little when he pointed out what Legolas gets up to with Elladan and Elrohir. But then, you know how much I adore that trio! :D I think I've never enjoyed anything as much as Thranduil and Legolas teasing by comparing notes. Poor Elrond. All he'd need is Oropher, and I do think his poor head would explode. Just lovely, and a perfect treat for a late spring afternoon, as delicious as cold berries and cream, and just as sweet.

Oh, what a lovely treat, and how much I'm looking forward to this most-postponed moment. Perhaps not quite as much as Elrond, although it did take him long enough to succumb. Coincidences indeed... What I enjoy so much is the love between the three of them, which is beautifully laid out, in graceful words and imagery. They learn so much about themselves as they explore this love, and even Elrond, teacher that he is, is an avid student. With all the pain that lays behind them and before them, there is this joy, and it's all the more glorious because it retains such gentle innocence. Beautiful chapter, and I'm eager to see them play.

Okay I couldn't wait to review so excuse the typos. You're such a tease! Now I'll be waiting for the next chapterqans praying it will come soon. Oh Elrond, why couldn't you just give in? Thranduil is so evil but right now I love him for pushing his agenda because I want what he wants! I just can't wait for the next chapter. CL

I really like Thranduil when he's needling Elrond, I think that's my favorite side of him and I like the way Elrond never fails to get a bit huffy about it. But Legolas, *sigh* I don't know why when he's in a scene it's that much better. The dragon story was perfect, you did an amazing job with it. I can't wait until Elrond has no choice but to take them both on at the same time because I just know that Thranduil will eventually find a way to make it happen. :D CL

Right. Well. Between the image of Thranduil in a corset made of linen wrappings, and Elrond playing dragon as he and Legolas read a very wanton fairytale, I'm quite dizzy with delight. My line for this chapter: “Yes. Rest, Elrond,” Thranduil said, his voice deepening. “Weary traveller, friend, lover, Master, elder, Lord, warrior, healer...” Wicked, wicked King of Eryn Galen... and so very delicious, too. And still poor Elrond deludes himself into thinking he can decide when he'll be willing to divide his attention. I don't think he's quite reckoned with his beautiful lovers, has he? Lovely, as ever!

Okay so Elrond just opened a whole new can of worms... and I am glad he did because I just have a feeling Thranduil will push this issue now. Can't wait to see where this goes now. CL

Oh, Thranduil... you beautiful, daft elf. How could you think Elrond would ever hurt you? You tease him, and torment him, but he loves you as deeply as you love him, and he would never hurt you, or Legolas. It's not in Elrond at all. It's why you love him so much, and trust him, and why he trusts you. And Galion... Oh, my, what a delicious little surprise you are. But I'm glad there is another elder elf to watch over Thranduil for Elrond, and to watch over Legolas, too, it seems. And possibly Elrond himself, when he needs it?

I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive about the whipping part but you did it wonderfully and I enjoyed reading it. The scene afterward was so packed with emotion that I could almost feel it radiating from the page, they really do love each other deeply. Oh and as always the sex was hot! CL

Oh, how hard that was for Elrond, and how profound a healer he is. I love how Thranduil is as fragile as he is powerful. That is so deeply moving, to see the very depths of his love, for Legolas and for Elrond. I can't say I blame him for wanting to keep Legolas safe, but it is no longer his place, and Elrond did what was needed. Legolas has his own fate. In truth, the whipping really was secondary to the healing that it represented. As Elrond broke down every bit of Thranduil's resistance, he was healing. Each blow was a benison, and I do believe Thranduil and Elrond will be the closer for it. As ever, your writing is gorgeous, and your elves intoxicating. Thank you! :D
