OOOH! I can't believe I missed this one!!! I loved "The Bond". I thought it was fabulous in every sense of the word: setting, characterization, word choice, etc.... I am so excited that you have embarked on another adventure in Tolkien's world and invited us along for the ride.

I was intrigued to read that she was returned by her own choice. (Reminded me of Finwe when he wanted to marry Indis and, if I remember correctly, the first wife Miriel was consulted and chose to remain in Mandos). I love "what if's" and this is so plausible. It is also very nice to see such judicious use of Sindarin, such a beautiful language, to convey the depth of feeling in your work. The parting scene where she faints into her mates arms is just so beautiful. And also beautiful is the portrayal of her bond being strongest with her lifemate and then the sudden realization of who Legolas is. I thought it was very poignant. My ONLY dissapointment is that at the beginning you said you were going to explore this tale in three chapters. I can only hope that means you have other, equally intriguing, plot bunnies hibernating somewhere. Bravo! Adding this to my "watched" and "recommended" lists!!!

I loved this chapter. It didn't seem like you stalled too long on any given part. You gave information and moved along that made the chapter seem not too slow and not to rushed. Can't wait for more.

I wholeheartedly agree with Zee!!! This is very well written. The world would be a very boring place without "what if's" I really enjoy the imagery and the idea behind it all. It is excellent to see a good Thandruil story.

Oh Thu, This is absolutely wonderful. That is the very best 'first kiss' scene I have ever read. Needed to be a bit shorter...only because I was holding my breath the whole time and almost fell out of my chair for lack of oxygen. But I kid you. Not a wasted word in there darling. The pie scene was so endearing and her joy over such a simple thing really brought home how far she has come and how far she has yet to go. Your Thranduil is dead sexy girl. I usually don't read stories involving either Thranduil or Legolas as they have been pretty much spoiled for me by the movie (legolas) and crap fictions (both) so I am always thrilled to death to see either of them done well. Viv and Ellisk have managed this beautifully with the Legume, and you have absolutely outdone anyone with your Thranduil. I just adore this Thu, don't even think about not carrying on, I will hunt you down and tickle you until you finish it! lol Brilliant.

Oh Thu, its beautiful. It blows me away the way you have handled Thranduil's reaction to his wife coming back. Some people would have just made him happy and been done with it. But you made it real. I mean I cannot imagine losing someone and having them come back. It wouldn't be business as usual. The grief of losing someone can sometimes tear you apart but even when you recover it is just below the surface that the littlest thing can set it off. A picture can make you cry, their favorite song gets you choked up. If they walked back into your life one day, I cannot even imagine how you would react.

And the kiss was wonderful. I am so glad to see Thranduil this way. Too many writers choose him to be the kinky or deviated jerk. How could he be?

that was so sweet. And the memory of how she died- that was sad. I can't imagine how it must of been like for Thranduil.
loved the story. Really did.

This story has been fabulous. You have such a way of conveying emotion. I am really impressed and touched. The only thing I feel a bit disappointed with is that the story has ended Wink smiley face

although now I am seriously intending (though I'm none too keen on Legolas-romances) to go read The Bond. Although I'm not a Legolas girl, if it's half as good as this fic, I reckon I'm in for a treat.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us all, and please, do give us some more lovely writing very soon.
