    For Chapter 3:

    Poor fragile Legolas, so much unsaid and unknown, except for how bereft the rescue left him feeling. He absolutely broke my heart in this chapter. Right here: "...a wordless plea for comfort, or reassurance, or love. Anything. “I hurt,” Legolas told him, feeling desolate."

    Thranduil is truly a predator as well as a king, and a father. What Legolas thinks he wants may be more difficult than he expects. For all the tenderness Thranduil shows at the end of this chapter, that isn't what awaits Legolas, if he continues down this path.

    For Chapter 4:

    And it seems the pretty prince has become a willing and eager participant. Of course, Thranduil is still just playing a little, wonderfully cruel and dominant elf that he is. I think this line is the perfect description of Thranduil: "Thranduil gave a low, satisfied rumble in his chest, like nothing more than a savage hunting cat surveying the helpless mouse it had entrapped." That is precisely the place where Thranduil is at home, and I do wonder how Legolas will enjoy being the mouse.

    This is so beautifully written, and I find myself getting lost in the music of the words. You write so seamlessly together, and I'm madly in love with this story. I can only hope it's the first of your joint wonders, because I'd love to see more!

    For Chapter 1:

    A wonderful beginning, ominous and terrifying. I can only imagine what was going through their minds, although I do believe Thranduil would have been that calm when facing death. He's far too strong-willed to panic.

    But this line: "The ticking of the clock of eternity, echoed in the rhythms of body and breath: a miracle he had preserved against the greed of time." Just gorgeous! What a perfect sentence!

    You are both masterful writers and it shows in this brilliant collaboration.

    For Chapter 2:

    Ah, Legolas, so innocent and so eager to please, and look where it brings you... Thranduil is simply sublimely dominant.

    This line: "And he knew he had been claimed and broken and remade by the very elf who had created him." I am just breathless with how perfect this is, and I'm entirely hooked on this story.
