Yay you updated !
Wow, you packed on the emotions in that seperation. Great job.
I have to say I am relieved she isn't on her way to Rivendell for other reasons, such that it would make it impossible for Leggy to get her back.

So now I have to wait for more.

Hurry girl, write more.

This was just SO realistic and believable, very well written and maturely done, a very impressive piece Panneth, the development is also really believeable and I like your characterisation of Eldirn, you have such a great grasp of Sindarin and Legolas' character development is great. Very well done, hope to see updates soon!

This is a wonderful story; it certainly gives a possible reason as to why Legolas made some of the decisions that he made, in his life. I think most siblings go through stages when they feel unacknowledged by a parent. You've conveyed Legolas's feelings of sadness and hurt, fantastically and very true to life.

I was so happy for Legolas when he found the drawing that he had given his father. After all of those years of feeling unloved and unappreciated...that was so touching. And his interaction with Eldirn is absolutely precious...so romantic...

This latest chapter was great. Legolas has become confident within himself and his position in life, and Eldirn has achieved her dreams of becoming a healer. I'm eager for the reunion...hopefully, everything will go well.

Keep posting...update soon Very Happy smiley face

Oh, I'm so happy to see this chapter finally posted! You have done a fabulous job summarizing all those years that Legolas and Eldirn are apart and giving the reader a very good idea of what their lives are like during that time.

I think that you made a very good choice by having Legolas join the Guard. It gives him something to do in life (and something that apparently he's really good at), but in between the lines we can see his obvious loneliness and the fact that he throws himself into his work only to keep his mind busy and not thinking about Eldirn. He seems so lonely Waaaah! smiley face

!

Eldirn has been keeping busy as well, but then again, it's obvious that she's been thinking of Legolas (especially after Arwen points out her blushing and paling every time Legolas is mentioned). I really liked the analogy with the necklace ... she keeps Legolas' gift with her and takes it to Rivendell, but always leaves it in the box ... just like her feelings for him -- they're there, but she's not ready to fully acknowledge them.

So that leaves me wondering ... when will Eldirn get that necklace out of the box to wear it for everyone to see? I guess we'll be patient and wait Wink smiley face

.

On a side note ... I love the chemistry between Malnarthan and Thranduil ... they are such a wonderful couple, as well as Thalion and Eiliant -- and it was so sweet of them to wait to announce that they're going to be parents just to not "steal" Legolas' moment. Another simple reminder of the great love between both brothers.

Great work Ems ... can't wait for the moment when Eldirn and Legolas see each other again!

This is a great story.

I was on a foul mood when I started reading your story this morning. But by the time I had finished, I was smiling. Very Happy smiley face

This story has one of the best (if not THE best) interpretation of Legolas I have ever come across. The character development is just amazing. You can really see him grow up. And the other characters are wonderful as well. I especially like Thranduil. He has got wonderful depth as well.

The scene when Legolas sat in his brother´s flet crying his eyes out was very touching. I almost cried too. That scene was so full of angst that it could have become hard to read, but the brotherly love and compassion you added made it superb. Smile smiley face

Another scene I really loved was the one where Legolas went bathing. It was so well written I could picture the bathing area in front of me right down to the smallest detail. I love descriptions, and your story has plenty of them. What a treat!

I almost cursed when the kiss did not happen. I think I wanted it as bad as Legolas did. Oh well... maybe they´ll get another chance... please

Keep up the good work and please, please update soon. You rock smiley face
