okay I am shocked in the best possible way. i adore this plot twist but hell did i not see it coming. thank you for making me surprised, great writing!

I liked the evading game Legolas was playing and the way Gimli tried to crack it. It had something funny. But then the theme is highly emotional and heavy and not easy to deal with it seems. And Gimli pushes on and because of their friendship, Legolas slowly softens to reveal more of it. You master it greatly to show the emotional fight Legolas is going through, and Gimli pushing on and trying to understand his friend.

It is great how you crafted this, howyou made dream and reality mingle until I evn wouldn't know what is what. I felt sosorry for Legolas when he realized that the elves couldn't be alive anymore. But still there is more to it all.

A better elf and a better dwarf. Such a beautiful friendship!

Oh, wow! That encounter with Sauron; breathtaking, overwhelming and dreadful. What an impact!

I love all this history you include. And it is so vivid from Legolas' POV the way you edited he is actually there living it. I also long to know more of all this!

An Ent-fiest all for Gimli an Legolas. So cool! I loved also how interested and eager to know more Gimli is. All the questions. Almost like the young hobbits ️
And I liked how open the Ents are. Wonderful creatures. And how they like dwarfs and their practical, direct ways and how omfortable Gimli feels around them. All relaxed and himself
So good Legolas can find some solace and rest in Fangorn with the Ents and in company of his dear friend!

I love the tension building with the mistery of the forest. It is so creepy! Such a good encounter with the Ent! So well described, so vivid. Great imagery!
And the two friends, I just love to see them together on adventures.
Poor Gimli didn't have success at getting something personal out of Legolas. This clever Elf just managed to turn the stick around, and get the Dwarf :D

Dear Gimli, what a good friend! He does care so much for his Elf! This chapter is filled with heartwarming friendship.
I loved the banter, the finely crafted humour, done with such a deft touch. And the depth of the thoughts and words. This story is so rich already in the first chapters. I'm touched, and enjoying it thoroughly.
I wonder what happened between Legolas and his father. There must be a hurt that runs very deep there between them.

Oh, what a chapter! So full of sensation and pain, acton and tension. So well written from Gimli's POV of confusion, drifing in and out of consciousness. So gripping!
Slowly finding out more of the writing of ziggy's much praised beta-reader ;)

What a beautiful sight Legolas running in the grass, light and bright and joyful. I loved it!
I liked Gimli's contemplations about the beginning of their friendship and before, and about Legolas as he knows him so well now. I love to see much of their friendship and how it developed and still does.

Hi there, I am addicted to ziggy3 stories and it seems inevitable that I should start with yours, since your name is dropped with praise so many timeswhat can I say, this story is amazing so far, especially this chapter. The conversation between them, the rusty beginning of friendship: you can see it simmer in between the lines.. love the brave openness that gimli dares, the smart build up to come to the right conclusion about the Elf’s relationship with his father. Enjoyed this immensely!

This is an absolute epic!
Such an amazing story. Do I like that Sauron manipulated everyone, especially my two favorites Legolas and Thranduil? No. But a story so masterfully planned and written made me believe it.
So very well written, thank you!

Thank you so much! This was a very epic read.

When I finished the first few chapters I was like, "what is so dark about this story that you need another account?" and then... "oh..."

Some scenes are pretty disturbing, especially when Thranduil had to witness Sauron did that...
I can't even explain. But it is an amazing story. The father and son misunderstanding is heartbreaking. You made a whole new epic journey about another ring, and it is awesome. The last chapter between them is so beautiful, with Legolas telling him not to go, finally loving his father.

Thank you for writing and sharing...I hope you write more. I can't get enough of this fandom.

I really love your story thank you for writing and sharing
