I LOVE the way this story is written. It is beautiful. Very spare; yet full of meaning. A very enjoyable read. Thank you for sharing.

Just reread it... yet still, it confuses me! Could you explain? Is it that he never returns? Sad smiley face Still, there is a tragedy... so sad!

This is so sad and tragic and utterly useless for her to have died like that! *upset* This is a terrible scenario, but very well written. Excellent work! Smile smiley face

That's a great one-shot! Mind letting me make a bookcover/banner for it? Laughing smiley face Just a suggestion. Anyway that's all.

Okay call me a goof but I actually cried over this story while I was at work. Now I am not talking Bawl smiley face but definity I teared up. Crying or Very sad smiley face

This is incredible. This could have been a typical Legomance where he runs back to his beloved and they both drop everything to be together. But no, they sacrificed their love for promises they had made to others. The way you conveyed Legolas' longing for the sea was beautiful and that he stayed for her. And I even tear up now when I think about Arwen and Estel. That story always gets to me and your portrayal was unique and from a different point of view (Legolas') How beautiful you have written the losses of them all. And the end, okay then was just terrible. Not terrible in the way you wrote it but terrible that she faded. Viv - how could you do that to your readers? Whatever happened to happily ever after. She is supposed to go to him to leave on the ship They are supposed to be finally reunited. How sad that they were never together because of promises to others.

Wonderful moving story. Now I must go and get me a Kleenex causing reviewing this story even made me all sad and weepy! Crying or Very sad smiley face
