Aha! I recognise this. *beams* Read this on aff.net - how wonderful to see it here. Like this (what I had read of it so far). Thoroughly enjoyable. Sexy Haldir! Sexy Thranduil! Sexy just about everybody, really.

I have been reading this on AFF.net as well, I like it a lot Smile smiley face

I especially liked Thranduil, hopefully we'll be seeing more of him!

Hmmm.... I guess I'm just not one for stories like this. But it was interesting, and very well written. If it is continued, I would certainly read more Very Happy smiley face

I have to admit that I stopped reading somewhere in the fourth chapter. I really wanted to like this story, because I'm as huge a fan of smut as the next girl. But in my mind it read like a porn film: girl goes into a room, has sex. Walks down the hall, has more sex. And she doesn't seem emotionally attached to anything in the story. Thranduil frightens her, he has his way, and it seems like she just kind of left the room with a bemused smile. I'm not suggesting this should have been a sweeping romance or anything like that, but I would have liked her reactions to be more realistic.

Up until Chapter 6, I thought that it's merely some smut... but out own curiosity I trudged on and found something substancial at last! Keep on and stay true to Chapter 7!

I kept reading until I reached where things left off at Chapter 7. As I sit here thinking about it, I am not quite sure what to say. While you certainly delivered on the smut aspect of the story, I really did not feel connected to the heroine at all. To echo what JennnLee said, it was as if the heroine was just passing from one sex scene to the next, without connecting emotionally to any of the men she was with. The characterization of Thranduil left me a bit cold, because it reminded me of other stories with Thranduil as scary, abusive father to Legolas. With as creepy as Thranduil seemed to me, it was incongruous that the heroine would actually want to see him again.

However, I will keep an eye on your story to see where things might lead, because you have planted a few seeds that should hopefully develop into an interesting story.

Well what can I say. This lady certainly 'gets' about a bit.
Very well written and researched. I particularly like the idea of her learning to speak Quenya so she can converse with all elf kind.
Keep up the good work I shall be watching for any updates.

Another brillant chapter. Certainly a novel way to deal with the tramua of the rape.
Eagerly awaiting the next chapter

Hmmm... while I have to agree that the heroine seems a tad emotionally disconnected at first, and we do not see her bearing any suffering from the loss of her former lovers, you did improve loads while the story progressed. The last three chapters were particularly captivating. If you could develop a tad more legolas' irritation about delaying a important task to go off seeking one of his father's conquers, it'd be fabulous.
For a moment, it seemed to me Eadhild would stay with erestor. It was really a surprise that Thranduil is the one constant in the decade or so that the story covers. And it is really something for us poor mortal women to boast that the 'mortal' was the one to finally figure out the way to the king's heart... take it, Elf-maids! Bah!

I love the new chapter! It's really good! I can't wait for the next one! Very sweet!
