wonderful! i hope you continue this story it is so good, i can't wait to see how elrond and legolas fall in love and the trials they will face...please finish another chapter quickly..you have fans :)

Fabulous, please write more.

OOH! MORE NOW! PLEASE! I think they're off to a good start.

I love this story. Those who are upset because it is non-canon don't have to read it, they can stick to the books. Please continue soon.

Oh, wednesday, that was a striking and wonderful chapter... but how sad! The poor horses... what a way for Legolas to arrive in his new home! I hope Elrond will be suitably impressed... (grin)

I have always loved the way you write Legolas and Mithrandir, so I'm simply repeating myself to say that I love them here. Mith is so stubborn, so loving, so protective... Legolas likewise... they make such a pair! They have to be friends, otherwise they'd kill one another... (grin)

I can't wait to see the next chapter. Glorfindel knows who it was that stepped in to help, and Elrond as well; or at least, they know by sight who this stranger is. When they learn his identity, I hope jaws drop! (grin) And when they see him all cleaned up, bathed, handsome, gorgeous, AND caring, I hope they are very impressed. (smile) I do so love a happy ending... and I do love the Elrond/Legolas pairing. I know you will do well by it!

And I'm sorry for what you've been put through by well-meaning reviewers and self-proclaimed experts. (sigh...) You have a large base of folks who love your work and hanker after every word, so I hope that will help soothe the frustration and pain!

Wow!

That was one hell of an exiting read! You could almost see the tension dripping from my screen here.

Very well done descriptions and a great first meeting between Elrond and Legolas.

Please continue!

greetz,

I really like this story. I always wondered about Celebrian, so the fact she married Elrond for power really doesn't bother me. Infact it seems highly reasonable to me. Can you Update soon? It would be wonderful if you did.

To all of those who have insulted this story by saying it needs to be original fiction. CHILL some of us feel like using another writers characters and places, when we aren't to confident in writing our OWN STORY.

To those who bitched about being OOC and AU.

THAT'S WHAT THE WARNING IS FOR! DON'T LIKE DON'T READ! AND IF YOU WANNA BITCH ABOUT IT review one of my stories. My friends and I will ENJOY arguing with you.

You also seem to be the reason that the author hasn't updated.

Wednesday-mc: BEAUTIFUL STORY! YOU'RE GOING ON MY FAVORITES LIST!

I was kinda apprehensive when I started reading on the couple but you really did a good job in explaining the possibilities between them. Impatiently awaiting the next chapter _

me thinks that you should perhaps consult your Casell's again. "acroama:" not so much the word you want to be using, also it should be in the ablative.

Okay,this is the reason I don't want to write even though I have the urge.I'm afraid of ?Because if I answer back,I will do it in a most insulting and god knows what in other ,it adds stress to my life and I really don't need is also ,I like the premise of this story I didn't like it,I wouldn't even bother leaving a review.

Okay,the only reason I'm reviewing this is because they only allow 1 per ,I read this(ch.2)and I would really like to read more.I thought signed reviews can't be deleted?I guess I was wrong.I apologize.

Humph, the offensive rant is gone. Well, if you're willing to take back what you said about Prof. Tolkien, then we're willing to take back our personal remarks too - if not our opinion about the story itself.

We would just like to ask the author to take a moment to consider her attitude towards criticism. According to the reviews there are some readers who like this story on its own terms, and almost all of those who do not have said variations on the same thing: "Well written, but I don't like it because it's too OOC/uncanon".

We ask, what is wrong with that reaction to a work of fiction that is defiantly OOC/uncanon?

Wow, I usually never read Slashes. But this seemed so interesting. And I am glad I clicked on this! It is really very well written. The way you write is so detailed and beautiful. It is like I am watching a movie, everything is panned out in front of me. I feel like I am watching Legolas pace back in forth, and the rats in the dungeon. I absouloutly loved the descriptions.

Please continue this! This has great potential!

Firstly, I'd like to thank you for rewording your caveat. You've risen above flamers by doing so. I'd like to congratulate you on your maturity and willingness to rise above such issues.

Now, your story isn't my kind of thing. I'm a purist, and I can't quite accept this as Elves in Middle Earth. They seemed more Pratchett than Tolkien.

However.

Your writing is beautiful. I'm sorry if this offends you, but I didn't read this as a piece of fanfiction, but as a piece of original fiction with familiar names.

As OF, i'm not distracted by my mental baggage of Legolas or Thranduil, or M-E. Rather, it frees me to judge your world as yours, on it's own merits, rather than what you took, and what you abandoned, from Tolkien.

As OF, your description of Legolas' cell draws you in. I could feel the dirt on my skin when I read your description. When he yielded, I felt his despair at being broken, at giving in. I hope you'll be following that angle up in later chapters. I love your style and hope to see more of it, and the original world your creating, because you've a hell of a lot going for you.
