I am not finished but I wanted to post a review on what I have read so far. (I am not reading any reviews above in case they give anything away!) I am on chapter 18 and it has been wonderful so far. I told you think in IMs but I love the way you do Legolas. Shocked smiley face

Wow - that just sounded all kinds of dirty!! Shocked smiley face

But I think you know what I mean. He's not Mr. States the Obvious here but he is not characterized as a man. Some people have him written either one extreme to the other. Either he is calm, cool, collected ALL of the time no matter what happens OR he is a hot blooded Man. He is an elf but he has emotions and feelings so you must display them or he is flat. Nothing good about a flat Legolas. Now a flat on his back Legolas.... thats a whole 'nother story. Devil's choice smiley face

You smut was hawt. You say in the warnings it was pitiful. I thought it was great. Wink smiley face

I will review again later. I just thought I would give you the cheap thrill of a new review. (we are all review-aholics anyway) Very Happy smiley face

Rebirth · Sun Feb 27, 2005 2:04 pm

Thu, my Sindarin Goddess, what a wonderstand start to a story. I don't care what anyone says about the reimbodied. As you said as an opening - it is extremely rare and this is a What if? story. I think it is lovely. I like the idea of Thranduil having his wife back as well as Legolas having his mother back. I think that is great. Thranduil is portrayed so many ways and usually they are not good so it is nice to see the guy protrayed in a positive light! I love it. As far as your elvish being included - You being the Sindarin Goddess, I would be disappointed if you didn't include it! Love it! Keeping watch on this story cannot wait for the next chapter! Very Happy smiley face

> oh la la, Eomer smut - I love it! Will we see any more chapters?

Oh many more! I couldn't end it there could I? Well I guess I could. It would be a good ending. Very Happy smiley face

But alas, it is not the end. But hopefully more smut in the future. Probably not two chapters in a row again but who knows! Wink smiley face

This was great! I want her job! Do you think they are hiring? I would love to teach some of the wives how to make their man happy. It sounds like a great job to me! Very Happy smiley face

Estel · Sat Feb 19, 2005 3:01 pm

I thought this story was very sweet! Estel was adorable and I love the interaction with Elrond and him. It was good to see because in the future there is such a relationship with Estel and the elves. Lovely story! Very Happy smiley face

Do you think you missed out on anything a Sue does? I don't think. It was terribly funny Viv. Claps all around (we have no clapping smiley!) Bow smiley face

I will just have to bow before the master. I read two of your stories at break today - this one and Red Dawn. I am glad I read this one last. It made me laugh through my tears. Bravo!! Kneel, Suckers smiley face

Red Dawn, Golden Flower · Wed Feb 16, 2005 3:41 pm

Okay this is the second time you have done this to me this week. I expect you to mail me some virtual Kleenex. This story is so sad. I mean I knew the basics of Glofindel and the Balrog. But I felt like I was seeing it through her eyes. and it was horrifying. You have a knack for putting peope "in" the story. It was so beautiful and Glorfindel was so amazing. Now I know why he gets such good press! Beautiful, poignant, amazing story, Viv!

Oath Renewed · Wed Feb 16, 2005 9:08 am

I love this story. The history is wonderful. Now, can you do me a big favor?? Can you rewrite the Sil because I get what you are saying so much better than the book? Thanks for saving me the agony of not having a clue what they are talking about in this part of the the Sil, which usually ends with me throwing it in the trash again. Sometimes I get it out. Other times my husband does to save it from certain death. See if you rewrite it, I won't throw it away out of frustration any more! Wink smiley face

Experiment Gone... Right? · Wed Feb 16, 2005 9:00 am

How funny is that? And totally unexpected. Man would I have been disappointed if I had beamed him in. Maybe there was a height limit. Cause they summonded a hobbit and Gollum, I think their must have been a height limit on it. Good story as always Viv! One day when I grow up I wanna write just like you! Very Happy smiley face

Promises · Wed Feb 16, 2005 8:54 am

Okay call me a goof but I actually cried over this story while I was at work. Now I am not talking Bawl smiley face

but definity I teared up. Crying or Very sad smiley face

This is incredible. This could have been a typical Legomance where he runs back to his beloved and they both drop everything to be together. But no, they sacrificed their love for promises they had made to others. The way you conveyed Legolas' longing for the sea was beautiful and that he stayed for her. And I even tear up now when I think about Arwen and Estel. That story always gets to me and your portrayal was unique and from a different point of view (Legolas') How beautiful you have written the losses of them all. And the end, okay then was just terrible. Not terrible in the way you wrote it but terrible that she faded. Viv - how could you do that to your readers? Whatever happened to happily ever after. She is supposed to go to him to leave on the ship They are supposed to be finally reunited. How sad that they were never together because of promises to others.

Wonderful moving story. Now I must go and get me a Kleenex causing reviewing this story even made me all sad and weepy! Crying or Very sad smiley face
