I like the twist this story has taken. I confess that, after reading chapters 17 and 18, I felt myself like Legolas must have felt; I hated Erestor! Then I read "Taming the Twins" and I understood his role in "Prince in Trainining". I guess that Erestor not only is revealing the submissive aspect of Thranduil, but he's also turning the sweet debauchery between Thranduil and Legolas into something more stern and darker. And I love it!
Such a morning it will be...
I shall be waiting for the update of this delicious story (and "Taming the Twins", as well).
There is something utterly charming about Legolas trying so hard to defend Thranduil from Erestor. Even when it's abundantly clear Thranduil wants what Erestor can give, Legolas still can't accept it. But Legolas isn't ready yet to give his ada what Thranduil needs and so Erestor has his place.
I'm quite eager to see what the morning brings, however. Legolas is indeed very beautiful when he submits, and I can only imagine how Erestor would love to try the young prince. There's certainly no shortage of temptation here.
I'll be waiting to see what daylight brings!
Right, Erestor has my back up, although I know Erestor was within his right to do what he did to Thranduil. I did, however, quite like Legolas reminding Erestor that he is Thranduilion, and not a shy thing who will back down because some elf of Imladris growls a bit. I'm glad he chose to wear his father's collar again, though.
I will admit, I'll be eager to see what the discussion between Thranduil, Legolas, and Erestor will be like. I'm not certain I'll like Erestor any better at the end of it, but we'll see.
Thank you, my lovelies! :D
Ah, such lovely evil!
It seems Legolas has met someone his father knows all too well, and someone his father is inclined to obey, perhaps? And this right after being seen by a servant indulging in a small game with Thranduil, in the dusty corners of the palace. Hm. I wonder if a certain long-time family retainer thought to interfere by sending for an elf he knew Thranduil would not defy? Ah, but I have a feeling what's between Thranduil and Legolas now is something neither will surrender. in spite of Legolas' little fit of pique. In fact, I'm all shivery thinking about the consequences of removing the collar.
Utterly wicked, and wonderful! :D
Somehow I missed a chapter, so this is for chapters 15 and 16, which are so gorgeous, and touching, and tender, I needed to read them twice.
How hard it was for Legolas to submit as fully as Thranduil wanted. It was indeed perhaps too soon, and too much for the proud Prince, but I was very happy to see Thranduil willing to talk, and to allow Legolas time to recover himself. Galion is terrifically interesting in this story, since I think I agree with Thranduil. Galion isn't ready for this sort of servitude.
But I do think Legolas has reached a deeper understanding of what it means to submit, and he's also tasted, just barely, the headiness of exerting his will over another. I'm eager to see how this unwinds.
Thank you, for this glorious story!
so very good, I can't wait to read the update! good work, you two!
Man, I didn't realize how far behind I was on this. Chapter 13 - Ah daddy riding to the rescue! I loved it and the end was absolutely perfect. I'm going to catch up on it tonight!

An intense chapter for an enrapturing story. I have been utterly enjoying it and it's getting better chapter by chapter. I congratulate the authors for you are both very good writers. With a delicious prose, you create beautiful and evocative scenes in a delightful mixture of sensuality and tenderness. I love everything about this story, its thread, its characters ... A seductive Thranduil, complex and dominant, an already not so innocent Legolas surrendering to his father and both surrendering to love and lust. Beau!
Thank you for allowing us to immerse ourselves in this bewitching story. I can not wait for the next chapter!
(Excuse me for my english as it is not my mother tongue)
Such a powerful chapter, and glorious.
Legolas has indeed truly discovered what it means to be Thranduil's, and he is right. There is no turning back now. He is forever marked by this moment, and nothing will ever fill the place that submission to Thranduil has created in his heart. Legolas is simply perfect; Thranduil is right about that.
Thranduil's rage is equally marvelous, and I thought he exercised great restraint in his dealings with the man who dared to wound Legolas. It would have been oh so easy for the keen blade to slip, just a little, and bleed Edwen like the pig the poacher is. And Thranduil is right again. Who would miss such a piece of insignificant trash?
I am looking forward both to Thranduil's meeting with Boromir, and to Legolas exploring this new stage of his training. Lovely, lovely tale... and lovely, lovely authors who make me so happy!
Oh, this was lovely indeed. Legolas is so very well loved by Thranduil, and it was quite exciting to see how Thranduil rushed to protect his precious son. It was even more exciting to see how well Legolas has learned, and how deliciously he submits to Thranduil. And all the lovely things in store for Legolas... I confess to a shiver of delight myself.
Another perfect chapter, thank you! :D
