Hmm......I don´t know....
I´m always a sucker for Legolas-fics and it´s interesting too read about his childhood. However, you´ve made me a bit confused....
If Aragorn is 6 years old, how can Legolas too be that young? If so, then Legolas would indeed be very young later on at the Council. I understand you´ve labelled your fic as AU, but to compare a 6-year old human with a 6-year old elf seems a bit off to me, considering elves doesn´t reach adulthood until about a 100 years later.
Furthermore, I realise you did put OOC in the Warnings, but I was having a hard time matching child-Legolas with the grown-up warrior Legolas. He can´t be a warrior if he loves the nature, you mean? Even at a very young age he must´ve known about the dangers in Mirkwood and understood the necessities of weapons. Besides, I don´t think he would have any choice in the matter. I think he would´ve had to learn how to use at least some weapons, being a prince and all.
Also, I find it a bit odd that Elrond would ask Thranduil such a personal question, while hiding a smile (is he gloating?) -- "What is your son´s weakness, Your Highness?"
Not to mention Thranduil saying he wishes his own son would be more like Elrond´s son. Is he not proud of his own son? Are Elrond and Thranduil such close friends that they can say things like this to each other? If not, I find their conversation a bit out of place.
I like your idea for the fic, though. Unfortunately, it raises too many question. Maybe you plan on answering them later on? Your grammar and writing-style could be tightened up a bit. As it is, it feels a bit rushed and 'all over the place'.
As I said, I like the general idea. It´s always interesting to read about Legolas' childhood and how he got to know Aragorn. I will keep an eye on an update! |

I enjoyed this very much! I really can´t imagine their awakening any differently......but I admit I don´t know much about that particular time.
Anyway -- very beautiful and perfect! |

Brilliant -- as always. How is it possible for a drabble to contain so much? Most impressive!
I especially loved "Hope is a dead tree". Wonderful, yet oh so depressive.

"At last he succumbs to flame, lets it lick him clean of flesh and purpose: a perfect immolation."
A truly beautiful sentence -- in a somewhat perverse kind of way. This drabble is an impressive display of true talent. Every word is so precise and.....just right! Hmm.....can you tell I don´t have your control over words as you do?  
Absolutely magnificent! |

Ooo, I liked this a lot! I agree with Picara; the way you descibe him is brilliant. It´s amazing how easy it was for me to 'see' him even though it was such a short piece.
Also, it´s good to be reminded of the fact that he once was just a man.
Very good job, indeed!  |

Well, I never really saw the Mouth of Sauron as a masochist, but you´ve got a point. Why else would he like to hang out with Sauron? 
Wonderful drabble, I must say! A bit creepy, but I truly enjoyed it! |

Hmm.....a good idea, I think, but it confused me to no ends.
When is this supposed to take place? What, in the world, could make the Elves weak and vulnerable? Do you mean they´ve become weak just because they´ve chose to turn their backs to the mortals? I don´t understand.
Dwarves awakening the Elves? Was the Elves asleep? Why? How did the Dwarves know that and how did they know where to find them?
Also.....'forced every world of man to unite'. How many worlds are there? Do you mean realms/kingdoms? Or are there different worlds?
I´m terribly sorry, but this was simply very confusing. It raised a lot of questions with no answers, and left me somewhat frustrated and annoyed. I know it´s supposed to be AU, which I usually like. I´m convinced I could like this too, if only it didn´t confuse the hell out of me.
Do you have a beta? If not, I´d recommend you get one. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or if you just want to vent a bit.
Btw, I really liked the first line: 'It was a world of beauty turned into a world of fire'. |

How absolutely delightful! Wonderful!
I loved how you let us follow the woman from her youth to her death, and how you end it with her daughter. Legolas as a child - so sweet!
Also, I truly liked your characterisation of Thranduil. A stern and just warrior-king, and yet a loving father who can´t help giving in to his child.
Once again; lovely, utterly lovely! |
