| Message | thank you Lynda!I couldn't have said it better myself. It was hard, but Elrond needs to get real and fast. Legolas is bound to be irritated but in time he will come to understand it was for the best. He quickly forgets his concerns, or rather stuffs them down deep inside because he is so afraid some day he'll wake up and discover Elrond doesn't really love him at all. For example, he has yet to talk to Elrond about how hurt he is that Elrond hasn't been busy planning for their babe's arrival. Well, he's been afraid to bring it up because he conceived without discussing it. Elrond is going to have to help Legolas overcome these fears. |

| Message | No, I don't think Legolas will be pleased when he finds out what his parants have done, but I think it will be good for Elrond to face his memories. He needs to learn to listen to what people are saying, not what he wants to hear. Lynda |

| Message | oh thanks, Ceren Cae! My one and only 'crack-fic' for sure. That one is just unbelievably weird, but I admit I had fun while writing it.  |

| Message | Dear Erobey, I was just reading through the Elf Who Cried Hare (again. [despite its weirdness, or more likely, because of it, I like that story]), and I just had to tell you how much I adore this line: "Why does he call you Grasshopper?" "Small. Green. Jumps around." It's just such a wonderful, heart-warming moment. Lovely. |

| Message | Stef: thanks so much! you are so right, what Legolas has gone through is really degrading, but he made the best of it for Galbreth's sake. i also think it's interesting that once he conceived, he began seeing things from a new angle, thinking of the effect all that would have on the child. that is when he first stood up for himself, and for their child, to elrond. and yes, he was conditioned to expect an arranged marriage but we've heard he was not happy about it, to the point that he was not informed once the deal was made. we'll explore more about his and elrond's thoughts on it in future. as for the twins, you hit that right on target, this is what draws legolas to them, he's very comfortable with them now. your last statement is partially true and this is the cause for the contention that continues to lie beneath the surface of their union. elrond needs to do something drastic to reassure legolas. Ceren Cae: thank you! Aw shucks, glad Faron pleases you so The mistake was in saying Galbreth had only one son when i'd already said he had five! oh well,it is fixed now.Vicky: i'm so happy you approve of the Lost Twins' fate. that scroll was actually going to be a segue into more on legolas' mom, but when you mentioned dior's sons i decided that was the perfect way to work them in.i'm running out of characters and will have to finish the rest of this on the group site. your points are excellent and i want to address them fully. thank you again so much! |

| Message | I was so happy to find this waiting for me when I got back today. I'm overjoyed that Elured (Elril) is still alive. I'd thought that the disappearance of the scroll would prove significant, but I hadn't imagined that it had been taken by Elril himself. I suppose the temptation to see something written in his father's own hand must have been overwhelming. I especially liked the fact that he is so close to Legolas. I think he will be a valuable ally for Elrond in helping him to understand both the ways of Thranduil's family and Legolas himself. It was sad that Elurin had chosen mortality, but I liked the idea that his line had become the beornings. I think that's as good an explanation as any for the existence of such strange beings. The reminder of the choice of the Peredhil made me think of the twins - I wonder if they have made their choice yet and what that would mean for Legolas. As a healer, Elrond must be horrified to learn that the cures he administered to the silvans caused sterility. I do wonder why they didn't affect Legolas though. Again, through Faron's and Elril's eyes, we learn more of Legolas' character before the attack and how much he has changed as a result. I liked seeing Legolas' interaction with Faron, because I think we probably saw him closer to his old self there. It sounds like he was quite a handful and not above pulling rank. I wonder if Elrond really knows what he's let himself in for? |

| Message | Ah, updates are so wonderful. I loved this chapter. Your imagery is truly excellent. You describe your settings so vividly. It is really just a joy to read. Regarding Faron and Sulchim; I'm actually quite glad they're pretty much the same character. He's practically a canon character in your stories(to me at least). Like the twins, and Thranduil, and Galion, I adore him. And I completely missed any mistakes; I thought it all seemed plausible. |

| Message | yes! i like the faron you presented in nestaron (that fic is going to be fun once you get to it after all our requests!) back to aerlinn i apreciated your explanation of how legolas came to love elrond: legolas fought to love an elf who treated him in the most shameful way, all for the sake of his decased brother. elrond worries about legolas falling in love with the twins are justified, not so much because of their heroic and tragic personas, but becasue there is something simple and endearing in their character: even being lords and heirs of imladris they don't seem to love the refined and snobbish mannerisms so common among elrond's household. in a way they are much more their mother's children than elrond's. elrond had a shocking morning, learning about the disaster in which resulted his efforts at dagorland and the ultimate fate of his lost uncle, but i would like to know what he thinks about the arranged marriage. legolas is quite right in desidering to be loved for himself and not his parentage: it cannot be easy to come to terms with fact that that you must submit to a stranger, and belong to him forever, never knowing real love, just to grant your people a vantagous trade agreement. he also must feel very uncertain, feeling he was not able to conquer elrond depending on his character alone, the only conclusion he can come to is that as an elf he is not worthy enough to be wanted as a true soulmate. |
