| Beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous uyse of imagery, wonderfully paced and with a deft touch regarding characterisation. Your experiment has definitely worked, not least because it did not seem that you had "packed" information in. Instead, it felt like the story was gently unfurling, its own lyric weight carrying it forward. Knowing the end was going to be sad added to a lovely sense of melancholy and grief over the last third of the story. Simply gorgeous. Although the happy ending part of me is screaming Promises Shpromises, build a ship my girl! Fabulous piece. |

So sad! Lovely work, well written (as was expected) and very 'elven' in feeling and atmosphere. Great emotive piece. 
Am delighted you are writing again!  |

When I read it first, it felt like a fragile, precious piece of glass: you handle the whole relationship with care and such expertisse that we read a whole romance in a single page.
It is lovely, tragic and a gem. I adore this (I insist on calling it poem).
Thanks, Vivchen |

| That was so sad, so poetic and beautifully written. No wonder Legolas always looks sad. |

Simple, elegant and so beautiful. I always thought that Legolas' parting to the West with Gimli was the saddest part of the trilogy ... even if it was nothing but a quick mention in the Appentices. It seemed like such a lonely, heartwrenching moment when the last two of the Fellowship leave Middle-Earth ... and now I have this beautiful story to add to the sadness. I wish there would have been a happy ending, but I think that the way you have presented this love story fits Legolas' years in Ithilien and his going West with Gimli so well. Wonderful job!

| Yet another excellent contribution from you, Viv. Most definitely not silly. Very poignant and haunting, and I've a feeling this one will stick with me for a while. I am, as always, highly impressed by your writing skills. |

| You managed to convey such love and longing between Legolas and his beloved in so few words. Simply a work of genius. |

| So utterly beautiful. Slow, melancholic, brilliant and simply beautiful. |

| *sobs* So touching and wonderful. The words seemed to flow across the page... *sighs*. Full of poetry, the feelings and emotions in this stroy are conveyed with a force almost jumping out of the paper and into reality... *crys* |
