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!
