This was simply perfect! I still feel all fuzzy from reading it! The fact that you chose to write of three different moments in Legolas' growing up, ending it with Thranduil sending him away to the Council, was brilliant because it made Trhanduil's ache at seeing his son turning into an adult and venturing into danger all the more apparent. When I was reading the third part, it was as if I could see Thranduil looking at his grown son and seeing an innocent elfling looking back!

Being a great Thranduil lover, I naturally had to read this. But I was absolutely delighted with it. I would like any of these drabbles on their own--the image of Legolas with his first horse to the image of King Thranduil vs Dad Thranduil sending Legolas to Rivendell. Those are wonderful moments. But combining them into a series had a real impact. This was outstanding!

These were very touching glimpses into the private world of father and son. I like the ease with which you depict daily life as opposed to huge events in their history and point out that each, in its own way, is life altering. This impact is especially poignant in the third. Next time consider making it a double drabble, 200 words. I'm sure no one would complain about 50 more words of Thranduil's admiration and love for his boy. My favorite thing when reading about the Legume, I never once pictured Orlando, I saw elves. A major accomplishment as it is the one thing that keeps me from reading too many Legoccentric fics. Finally, your Thranduil is perfect. I'm glad the Rhapster talked you into sharing these.

This was nice... different too. I like the way you showed legolas at different stages of his elfhood - and Thranduil as the doting adar. Very perceptive
