silly boy. how will he know to say it first if you don't? such a stupid thing to keep you two apart.

I really enjoyed reading this.

A very lovely piece of writing. Words create images, and your images contain so much poetry - as each sentence of yours seems to flow and ripple like the rhythmic sound of verses. You said you were no native speaker, and that it wasn't meant as an excuse for anything - now I'd like to tell you that absolutely no excuses can possibly be needed for the beauty of your style.

Your story "Leaves of Gold" literally blew me away. I had already lost hope to find a work of fanfiction that is able to do justice to the all-too-enticing and dangerous idea of a Legolas/Aragorn pairing. You mastered it wonderfully, combining real emotion and action with lyricism and the palpable, deep melancholy of a legendary tale. It was so close and intense, yet so distant and cool. Every word swelled and glittered, breathed and moved like colours in a brilliant painting - and that story deserves more than just a praising word like "brilliant".

You might be a slow writer as you said yourself, but I'll continue checking for updates... I'm so glad I discovered such an amazing writer like you, when I almost stopped reading any fanfiction at all. Thank you and keep on writing!

Oh, this is beautiful. There's a sense of poetic in your words, and an undercurrent of erotism ...can't help but like it!

God! tease us some more! good so why stop??

that was b-e-autiful! toucking as others have said. is this the end? k, i guess. i think it was just a one chapter thing. darn.

I like the way you use language to catch that brief moment. It is both sensuous and sad because the choices have already been made.

Quite, quite lovely and touching a story--I loved the imagery you brought out. Beautiful writing and feelings inspired by such.

Oh my lord...that is truly excellent. Very touching.

This is devastatingly lovely and erotic - I think the most erotic thing you've written yet, despite the rating. And it's a little bit heart-breaking too, though most beautiful things are.
Always have loved the grace and the varied ways with which you use nature imagery, figuratively, literally, abstractly, etc. It's one of the things I like best about your writing, the lushness it lends and the poetry.
And this is so believable, seeming to capture the subtext bewteen them in the movies so perfectly - I could definitely see this as a missing scene.
So hard to pick passages I liked among so many, but I'll try with a few.
"This is the wild he longs to wander in," made me go weak in the knees. Absolute favorite sentence. One of my favorites in any of your stories.
Also loved the description of Legolas as "a leaf after a breeze has shaken it."
Also very much loved the image of Legolas' whole body reaching out, "weeping for the man's touch."
I'll leave it at that before I ramble on. Once again, wonderful work, and I'm so delighted to see something new from you.
With love,
