Thank you for this great tale.
It touch my heart especially in the last chapters. That was beautifully written.

It is such a blessing to find a story as rich, compelling, and wonderful as this one. Back in 2003, I found it strange reading fanfiction about LOTR, but last week, after a rewatch of the movies, I took a cautious peek into the fandom. Aragorn and Legolas are my favorite characters, so I wanted to find a story that talks about and develops their friendship in a non-slash way. Quite the challenge! But then I saw your story, started reading, and couldn't stop! Your narrative is so good that it makes you want to read more and more. I loved the suspense, that amazing bond that gave happiness and pain, the twists, the characters, Arwen, Faramir, and the links to the original works. You can see the care for details and love you have put into this story. I have fallen even more in love with LOTR because of that.

The last part of the story was so well written. Aragorn's pain and frustration about the possible loss of such a dearest friend; are like tooth and nail, Aragorn and Legolas. Their bond has solidified into one of the most beautiful friendships between Men and Elves in Middle-Earth. And the epilogue? Oh, there my tears finally fall. It was a beautiful and heartbreaking final note.

Nineteen years later, thank you for this adventure. I will cherish it for a long time.

This was absolutely beautiful, wow. I adored all of the friendships, especially between Legolas & Aragorn of course. Your writing is beautiful, I was so taken in by the story i read it in literally a night and a bit! And such an epic storyline as well! I really admire your writing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 3

It has been years, well over a decade, since I came across this fanfic and , while rewatching the movies, it reminded of it. To say this is one of those fics that stuck with me is rare, but alas, it is true. All this to say is that I appreciated it then, and appreciate it now.

I don’t remember the exact dates, but I first read this about 10 to 15 years ago when I was still living in China. I was just a kid about to enter middle school, and had just discovered the world Tolkien has created. This was one of the first fan fictions I have ever read. I didn’t speak much English then, so I actually needed a dictionary to read this. Many years have passed, and it has been many years since I watched or read anything about middle earth. But one random day recently, I just suddenly thought to visit Tolkien’s world again. I have forgotten most of the stories I have read previously, but one story, one phrase, got stuck in my head all these years: for the love of the lord of the white tree.
Now almost 15 years later, I opened your work once again. It just reminded me why I never forgot about your story, why I fell in love with middle earth in the first place. Many things have changed, I no longer need a dictionary to read this, for I am not a middle schooler anymore but about to be a PhD student. But one thing remains the same, my love and appreciation for your work. Thank you for creating this story.

Wow! This is the best fanfiction I have ever read! So wonderfully written! Thank you! I could not put it down. It was a pleasure to read!

Esto es simple y sencillamente hermoso. Cualquier otro comentario está demás. Conmueve hasta las lágrimas. Lo he leído una docena de veces, quizás, esperando que en valinor se reencontraran los amigos. Pero eso no cambia la belleza de tu escrito. Gracias.

Genius. How the hell did I miss the hints. Really clever plot twist

Just discovered this story and I am reading it with great interest! It is so well written and a beautiful depiction of the friendship between Aragorn and Legolas! The reference you make to Legolas defending Gimli was sooo well-placed and shows your knowledge about the canon (like the accursed sentence that followed Legolas after all those years)

Such a wonderful story, thank you!

I have read this story many times since I first found it five years ago. And since, if I find myself in desperate need of something that is heartfelt, honest, and genuine, it always brings relief and comfort to know this story is here and waiting. Thank you for creating such a wonderful tale. To get to go on and have another adventure with characters I have loved for years and often find myself missing, there are not enough words of gratitude I could give to express how much it has meant to me these past years. Wishing you blessings and joy always! Thank you again!

What a stunning, beautiful story! So well written, I love how your choice of words and turns of phrase fit the story and evoke Tolkien’s style.
I loved how powerfully and emotionally you weaved the tale of this amazing friendship (and I absolutely love you didn’t make Thranduil a villain, but paint him as a loving father). It felt very much in character.
The last chapters gave me the same feeling as the ending of LOTR does, so bittersweet. Thank you so much for writing this, I adored it.

Hannon le. This is a beautiful story of an unique friendship. It shows that you always have to work on a friendship and never take it for granted.
This epilogue was so moving, I tried hard not to cry but in the end I couldn't stop the tears.
Honestly I don't know what do say. I loved reading this story and I will love coming back to it and read it again at some point. I enjoyed this story so much and I couldn't stop reading it, I even ignored hunger because I just couldn't stop reading.
Hannon le for writing this story and sharing it with us.

Wow, what an ending. I almost cannot believe it. It is wonderfully bittersweet.

The way you have played my heart strings is unbelievable. Fear, anticipation, love, friendship, hurt, panic, woven beautifully into this masterpiece of a story resounded in my heart as well. This is one of the very finest of fan fiction belonging to the Lord of The Rings. I have been immersed so deeply in this tale, and many times wanted to leave a comment but was too speechless to begin to pick the right words to say. Your level of skill as a writer is amazing. The technical part of writing was done in a wonderful way I have not seen in a long time, and add that to the depth of the story, I am left immensely grateful for this piece of work and that I could read it. The way the friendship of Aragorn and Legolas was portrayed is exactly how I would have pictured it, and was amazing to see in this. I am left deeply touched by this story, hannon le.
