Agh! You have me skipping over elf-fic for hobbit-fic centered on a Took I've never even heard of. You're corrupting me, damn it! Now, I shall regain my composure, and give you a proper review.
I adore the way you write ambiguity so comfortably. I think I counted only one or two sentences explaining Tigerlily's death, and yet, I saw it all from Isengar's POV because you waited until the end to describe it. That is fantastic writing. I mean, here I am reading a story about a hobbit I've never heard of and almost crying for his loss. How crazy is that? |

 Poor little Legolas! That was so sad! I'm REALLY, REALLY, REALLY happy to see Thranduil portrayed as a loving father. It is such a wonderful change from the distorted fanon myth. There is only one thing I am concerned about. Elves are full-grown at 50. I'm wondering why a 300-year-old Legolas is forbidden to learn how to use a bow and behaves like a small child. You know I'll be reading as you update (and sorry it took me so long to review). |

 What a great twist on a classic! And did I understand correctly that Father Yule is an Elf? How funny! This was nice to read on Christmas Eve. We don't have any kids in our family anymore (I was the last), so we don't tell any of the good Christmas stories anymore. We just watch "Christmas Vacation"  |

| This is a great beginning! I'm glad that you kept the Avari civilized. Too often, I think the term Dark Elf is misinterpreted. The descriptions are wonderful and your OC believable. You also seem to have a good handle of the different Elvish languages. It all adds up to a very convincing story. I can't wait to read more. |

| This is a very interesting glimpse at Aragorn and Legolas's friendship. I agree with your assumption that they would have died for each other. I would have enjoyed a deeper look into Aragorn's thoughts after the fact. The story reads like a summary of ROTK, with only a few extra lines thrown in describing Legolas's death. That's not really the point of fanfiction. Please, don't be discouraged by my comments. As I always say, if I saw nothing good in this story, I wouldn't waste my time reviewing. This is a good plot bunny, and it could develop into a great short story with some more work. |

I've been thinking about how to word my review for a few days now. Being new to hobbit fic and only being a PHAF (Pervy Hobbit-ACTOR Fancier ... did I just create a new category?), I did have a little trouble reading this. Maybe it's the hairy feet? I have an anti-hair fetish. Eowyn is a goddess in my eyes, though, and if she liked Merry's ... skill, then so do I. It's a testament to your talent that I kept reading after that first slightly creepy moment. Once I crossed the obstacle of this being hobbit smut, I quite enjoyed the scenes.  |

Oooh! A sequel! Yeah, I knew it was coming, but I was surprised to see it up so soon. I am so happy to see an emotionally involved Thranduil. It's such a nice change. I look forward to reading this portion of their life. Are we getting to Leggy soon?  |

Hey, guess what. I stopped studying to read your story.  Firstly, I want to wish you luck. A series is not an easy thing to write. I'll be around for moral support if you need it. Now, onto the fic. I like Thranduil so far. I never did see him as an evil-heartless-dwarf-torturing-abusive parent. He is practical and stubborn (and devestatingly handsome ) I think you've got a very canon Thranduil walking around in your head. Almwen should be an interesting OFC. Just one thing, Vendie dear, she-elf? Please no. Elleth is the Sindarin word for female elf. Other than that, I have no complaints. I'll be watching you ... urm, I mean, your story. Yeah, that's what I meant. |

| Wow. This is quite an undertaking. I think you're a very brave woman for attempting this, but I'm glad you are. I'm already hooked. I have my Dramatis Personae printed out and sitting next to my computer. It felt a little bit like reading "Silmarillion" with all the names. I'm a huge fan of the Witch-King (and the Nazgul in general) and unique stories. You've got both here. I look forward to reading more. |
