Of course it is no secret here that I like Thranduil, so of course I like this. Smile smiley face But I also like the contrast of the southern forest and the part of the forest where Thranduil's realm still survives. Legolas says in the LotR that it is still green and you portray that well here.

I also love Thranduil. He is too often portrayed in a bad light so I am pleased with your protrayal of a great Elven leader. Add that to a great writing style and you have a wonderful drabble!

Oh, now this is rockin'. I just made that exact point in a story. Nothing, no help from anyone, just the might of Thranduil. Tough, hell yeah he was, had to be. Cruel, not to have raised a gentle soul like Legolas. Good job girl, I love it.

Very beautifully written, you feel as if you are seeing what you describe, both emotionally, and physically. I really like this take on Thranduil.

Lovely. I love to see Thranduil treated with his proper respect. I also like the reminder that Mirkwood withheld the darkness of shadow without any help from rings of power - so it was due to Thranduil's power alone.

I'm a proud Thranduil-groupie! I can't say how happy I am to read a fic where he is shown in all his glory. Excellent drabble!

Lovely. In a few words you captured the essence of Greenwood the Great/Mirkwood and its denziens. It is refreshing to find fiction where Thranduil is given his proper due and not slandered as some evil, child beating, incest mad Elf.

Well done.

Found due to Story of the moment. Wave smiley face
