Skande, this fic is brilliant so far! I absolutely love the way you write imagery, and Mirkwood has never been so clear to me before. The descriptions of Legolas' grief were harrowing, and the tidbits you offered of his conversation with Thranduil was a great way to give the reader insight into their relationship. I think Aragorn and the twins have been captured really well, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of young-Aragorn. Wonderful story so far, so keep 'em coming!  |

Really nice - I'm waiting to see how this one turns out. Interesting, and while it follows the "fanon", to use the term, of Thranduil as a somewhat cold and almost abusive father, it plays off without being too... well, dramatic isn't the word I'm looking for, but I suppose it will work for now. As Nurv said, it was a good insight to their relationship by your portrayal. Good capture of the departure of immortality the way you did it - without an excessive amount of drama and flipping out, but you managed to capture that grief and utter loss that comes from losing a life that should have gone for years more. Smooth intro to Elrond and his sons - writing about them as younger is a little easier and a lot more fun, since you have more freedom to work with who they are and how they would act. Nice way of tying Legolas and Aragorn together at the end - Thranduil mistaking Estel for a servant was priceless.  Good how neither Estel nor Legolas know the other, and yet, there's something pulling that friendship together. Again, nice work! Keep it up! ~ Elwen |
