    Oh ho ho... and things really begin to get interesting. I can't wait for the next chapter, when Elrohir finds out about Legolas' coming on the patrol. Since it obviously, seemed to me, was Legolas being so severely injured during that prev. one that led to Elrohir's distancing himself. I think he blames himself for it, though lord only knows why. And Legolas' cluelessness is beyond bounds. I mean, when you meet the gaze of someone and they blush there is usually a meaning behind it... Hopefully Legolas will get better at seeing/opening his and others feelings. I'm clueless as to how you will incorporate the non-con and am a bit hesitant... I hope that nothing happens to drive Legolas and Elrohir even further apart. I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

    The desire to hit Legolas is so strong, though I doubt it would solve anything. Could it be that, because he does not seek love, he does not see love? That is to say he does not know how one in love acts and so does not recognize it when it stares him in the face. His determination is admirable but someone should explain to him matters of the heart. Of course, I suppose it would do no good, as he is yet unwilling to admit to himself that he is in love with Elrohir.

    Speaking of Elrohir, I imagine he will not be happy with Legolas joining them on the patrol. I do not look forward to that scene. An orc hunt surely means more trials for our would-be couple.

    Your progression is deliberate and you write to life. You seem to have uncanny understanding of the way relationships are built, to be able to craft one so realistically from beginning to eventual end. I love that you portray the characters as the unique individuals that they were meant to be, with different needs and desires. They are forced to overcome those differences to be together, rather than being so similar that they immediately fall in love.

    Hi, Tinni. I added a divider to distinguish the past from the present. Hope that helps readers keep track of which part is which.

    Good as always. One thing though, it might just be me being dense but I found Elrohir remembering his past argument with Legolas a bit confusing. It took we couple of reading to get it. I guess the problem is that at the end the past and present come together too adruptly.

    This comment,
    "He had the bitter satisfaction of seeing his brother flush at the reminder. But Elrohir refused to speak and turned away instead. Frustrated, Elladan strode out of the room.

    Only then did Elrohir let his guard down. He was more shaken than he cared to admit. Elladan’s last words had recalled memories he’d hoped to bury so deeply he would not be able to retrieve them. But now that they had emerged he could not push them away. Images, feelings, words...he could no more suppress them than he could stop breathing."

    I think is past Elrohir. So the rememberence that follows would logically be past Elrohir. But than you adruptly switch to the present and it's not very clear,

    "Elrohir drew in his breath with a shudder. He steeled himself against remembering more. He should not have let himself slip into the past. Could not allow his memories to overcome his resolve. Would not permit himself to feel anything like that again."

    It took me awhile to get that past Elrohir and present Elrohir had merged because I kept thinking I was dealing with past Elrohir and than Elrohir suddenly had Estel and :-/. As I said it might just be me being dense. :D

    OH MY GOD. Wow, just when I think this series can't hook me in anymore than it already has, you go and post something like this! Er, I think this is my 7th read now and I'm still just a tad shaky. Now I just want to slap Elrohir upside the head! He obviously is unable to deal with his feelings for Legolas, which is really no wonder since they haven't ever *really* communicated on the subject. Poor Legolas, he's so completely clueless anyway and was already insecure over his friendship with Elrohir, he must be completely devestated. I hope Nimethiel is in the party, I'm sure she will be needed. What a mess - and we haven't even gotten to the non-con situation yet.

    Apart from the drama between our main protagonists, I'm really intrigued to see how you weave your story around the Tolkien's/PJ's universes. I'm already thrilled with the idea that Legolas was there at Arathorn's death because it gives Legolas' defense of Aragorn at the Council of Elrond (movie universe) *much* more meaning. And *yes* I am aware that this is fan fiction and therefore never really happened, but as I've said before this story just gets to me... to the point where I *am* incorporating it into my experience of Lord of the Rings. I'm afraid you're just going to have to live with the fact that you are an awesome writer Eressë!

    Oh no! That is so sad, I cried! What had come over Elrohir. Geez, now he's acting as stupid as Legolas. *shakes head* I am beginning to think it hopeless for them. I hope you come out with the next segment soon. I must find out what happens!

    *Gapes*
    *Re-reads chapter*

    OMG!!! Did not see that coming! You are EVIL!!!
    Yeesh - you're trying to kill me... never thought Elrohir would hurt Legolas like that!
    More? Please? ;)

    Hmmm, have to say, not too keen on the ominoming non-con, but as long as it's just that and not rape, I think I can handle it!

    I have to take a deep breath now, as I was holding it for most of the chapter. That was so passionate and painful. I do not know whom I feel worse for, Legolas, for suffering Elrohir's seeming contempt or Elrohir for suffering Legolas' friendship without having his love. I understand why Elrohir would try to close off his heart. Legolas has already professed that he will not give his heart away in romance, so Elrohir sees no reason to continue to love, thinking the one love he wants has been denied him. However, even knowing that, this was difficult to read because my mind and my heart were not in agreement. I fear what further trials those two will have to suffer.

    yay! I'm ecstatic that the story has refocused on the relationship between Elrohir and Legolas. The summary for this story has definitely piqued my interest greatly, don't make us wait too long!!!!!
