Oh, golly, would you believe that this story brought tears to my eyes. Very sweet and lovely. And I see you've been busy, I've got a lot of catching up to do with your stories.

Again, just wonderfully sweet and touching. *Sigh* Your stories are lovely, its a bit of fresh air. (But just so you know, Arwen was younger than Legolas Wink smiley face

) Not that it takes away from the story, because it is beautiful nonetheless.

EDIT: In response to the following post. Sorry, I thought I read somewhere that Arwen was the last elven child born in Middle Earth, which makes sense because elves only had children in peace-times. Could be wrong Confused smiley face

Actually, no I don't know. No one does because there is no age given for Legolas. However, certain clues within Tolkien's work suggest that Legolas may not have been any older than 500 to 900 years old at the time of the War of the Ring. In this case, no one but Tolkien knows the truth, and he's not talking. Smile smiley face

Well, like I said, we really don't know. It could very well be that you are correct. I choose to make Legolas younger in my stories, but I've read plenty of good ones that made him older than Arwen and the twins. I do think that bit about Arwen being last born is fanon rather than canon, though. I've seen it before, but have never found anything in Tolkien's work that actually said that. He did specifically say that elves only breed in times of peace, but I've always thought that wood elves would have needed to breed more than the Sindar and Noldor, just to replenish their numbers after they lost so many warriors during the Last Alliance.

Just my thoughts on the subject for what they're worth.
