    Four little words. Only four simple little words were enough to restore Legolas's self-respect. Poor elf, those months between hearing of his fate and prior to this moment must have been like hell to him. And even if Elrond doesn't bother with the 'romantic schtick', I like the fact that he takes his time with Legolas, trying to ease him and recognizes the sacrifice Legolas makes. As for Elrond leaving the room right after the binding took place, well I'm not too sure if that was the best thing for him to do; better get him back in there quickly before Legolas starts questioning his self-worth again. Anyway, just wanted to say: what a lovely chapter.

    Chuckling over the reviewer that asked if you were always this prolific. Answer: Yes! She puts the rest of us to shame. Our dear Tics can wip out a story in nothing flat!

    Tics! Elrond left? He walked out and left Legolas after that? Bad Elrond - you get him back in there! Wonderful chapter, sweetie - I'm enjoying this fic tremendously.

    You updated this so soon because you are an angel from Heaven that loves her readers and wants to make them happy. Yeah, angels write slash fiction, I just know it. "Thank you. Thank you for coming to me, though it was not by your choice. Always I will remember this night and its cost to you, Legolas Thranduillion." I looooved that part. I appreciate that Elrond acknowledges Legolas' part in this. He is so young, and beautiful, to give up on his own life for the sake of others. I mean, he does not go into this with the thought that he is going to find love, regardless of if he does or not. So I like Elrond's consideration of his position. Elrond didn't want to force Arwen into a loveless match, but expected Thranduil's son to do it. But maybe Elrond sees that Arwen is meant for the King of men at some time in the future. Either way, the story is working beautifully. It makes me emotional, and hot;) that's a great combination. Please add to it soon. I'm totally hooked on it.

    LOL. Yeah. To all those. Esp the last one! Nothing more horrifying than the mere suggestion of that! Lol.

    Is this normal for you, being this prolific? A third chapter already! Wonderful. Interesting that you have Elrond leave his room afterwards. Really brings home the point that this was an arranged...marriage. About the constant changing of POV, wouldn't it be easier to combine them both? It seems a bit...choppy.

    LOL. I disagree! I’ve come across many stories with promising plot, but because it was so poor in grammar, it distracted me from the story itself. It can create confusion, as well. It dismays me at times. Though sometimes, it may be because it was coupled with a lack of thought put into the story. Know you, those stale, 2-D ones? I like a rather thorough insight into what is going on in the characters' mind, why they do what they do. That for me makes the story more believable and the characters real. Few people I think have the talent to create a substantial story with mostly just dialogue and little description for anything else. It doesn’t have to be rich in imagery, just get the human aspect right.
    Anyways, I like that the children have misgivings about this union. I think it’s the most natural reaction for them in this case, to feel that their mother’s place is being usurped and, through loyalty to her, be vocal about their feelings.

    So, Arwen and the twins aren't really happy with their father's decision and Arwen even proposed to marry Legolas. Although Elrond refused and we all know why, don't we? Still, he could have asked one of the twins to bind with Legolas, that would have linked the two realms together as well.

    What?! Elrond is going to bed Legolas on his first night already? Poor Legolas, seems he doesn't get much of a respite. What's wrong with a little courting, love-ballads sung underneath the balcony, evening strolls in the moonlight,getting to know each other first, ... Oh well, I guess it's still better than what Legolas imagined himself :
    *Legolas had feared that the warrior Lord might expect his due immediately upon the Prince's arrival in the city, perhaps even taking him on the stone steps in full view of Legolas' Mirkwood escort.* Now that would have been a sight to see.

    I love this pairing and never see enough of it. Your writing and character sketches are wonderful. I feel so sorry for Legolas, but I don't feel angry towards Elrond. I like that Elladan, in his turmoil, spelled out what for me lies at the heart of the angst; the fact that Legolas is being forced to sacrafice his youth and heart for his people. At least Elrond has known true love, and will know it again once he crosses the Sea. Legolas is not given that chance, and I think it only fair that everyone acknowledge his position...poor baby. Of course, I'm hoping Elrond falls madly in love with Legolas, and vice versa;) But still, how is he to know that will happen, and isn't it sad he'll always have to share with Elrond's first love? O.K., I'm a little caught up obviously, lol. Please add more soon! Thank you bunches!

    Whether it's only a few chapters -- or 10 or 20 (small nudge) -- is no difference. Your writing is a joy to read. Thanks for the quick update!

    So far I think you have done justice to Legolas, but it is going to be a tricky matter once they arrive at the moment of truth! I confess to a bit of confusion, though. There were allusions made to Legolas as becoming another "spouse", but it seems that there is no formal ceremony planned? So just how is Elrond going to explain all this to the rest of Imladris (who surely will take note of the bedroom visitations)? I'd hate to see Legolas not given due respect. (It's one thing to call him a catamite (or worse) in a slave fic, but this is quite a different matter.

    I very much appreciated the responses of the twins to this situation - resentful of Legolas usurping (as they saw it) their mother's position, protective of their mother - yet not actively malicious towards (or plotting nefarious things against) Legolas. Good job there.
