| Message | AI! stef, you read the rough draft in the tawarwaith group files! eep! i have cut alot from what will officially post today. so, for folks seeing this, if you want to read the uncut version you will need to go to the tawarwaith group and pull it up in the files. i worried that the scene with erestor was redundant and some of the dialogue forced, so i hacked away at it. maybe i can add the cut stuff with erestor into the extra scenes category here. thank you for the wonderful feedback, stef! ![]() |

| Message | glad to hear things are going well. i read the new chapter last night... it is WOW!!! woundrous, arwen reaction was to be expected: she loves her father dearly and though she is going to leave him for aragorn she is not ready yet to give up her role as the family's baby. i think she will be grateful for her new brother in time. i wept all the time since the line in which legolas remembers galbreth's advice, and on the suicide attempts i shook with fear, even if i know perfectly that legolas survived and things are settling for him. i hope rhunwaew (sorry i really can't seem to get her name right)doesn't go berserk with arwen. e oh! faelon is going to be awarded in my personal list as elf of the year! among those legendary characters is the most human and kind. shame on erestor and glorfindel for their behavior and most of all on elrond !! |

| Requests? | Aerlinn new chapter? |
| Message | Oh, yes, I totally agree with Stefi that some kind of flashback to that first year would be a wonderful new chapter... though I am much happier now that things are improving for Legolas and am not really sure that I want to see him suffer more even in flashback! (Though you're such a great writer I'm sure you can talk us through that too....) Virtual chocolates all around! |

| Message | hi vicky! yes, chocolate for me too. i will have to wait for a suitably black mood and start then. shouldn't be too long, all i have to do is consider the meaninglesness of my existence and that should depress me sufficiently to torment poor legolas. Hi shadow in the dark! don't worry about when you review, i am just pleased whenever you can manage it. thank you fro those great compliments now as to Thranduil referring to Rhun'waew as his wife instead of legolas' nana, he did it to remind legolas that she is precious to him (thranduil) and he will not tolerate anyone disrespecting her, not even his son, perhaps especially his son. so since legolas forgot how to be a respectful son, Thranduil decided to remind him to be respectful to his beloved wife. sometimes a father will say: don't talk to your mother that way! this is fine and shows that he thinks highly of his wife as a mother and probably respects his own mother. but here, thranduil wants to remind legolas that rhun'waew is more than just his mother,and always has been. hope that makes a little bit of sense and i will get back to work on writing. now that i have only one job and work the night shift, my days are relatively free. ![]() |

| Message | Yes, I'd wondered about Legolas' first year too. I'm glad Stef suggested that, and look forward to reading more about it. Although from what we know about it already, it was a terrible time for Legolas. I might need a few bars of chocolate to help me through the trauma ![]() |

| Message | hi stef, OK you got it.that's going to be a very angsty chapter but i'd be willing to bet others have been wondering about that too. i'll get to work on that right away maybe i should have done that earlier, because the scene has certainly been in my head and maybe helps explain more fully why Legolas remained silent about his identity for so long. |
