| Thranduil igniting blaze with his will must be a sight!!!! Awesome similarity between Legolas and Boromir's lives. When the ring was trying to take over Legolas I was on the edge of my seat but the idea of Thranduil wielding him sounds interesting :). | |

| I love missing scene fics, and there are so many wonderful things in this one! One of my favorite things is the Ring not knowing how to tempt Legolas, because of course a sweet and humble elf like him doesn't desire power. It's an interesting question, though: what, if anything, would tempt Legolas to take the Ring? I also loved the little instances where Legolas thought of his parents (so natural and *normal*), and the insults he and Gimli half-heartedly traded. If the next chapter doesn't show this, I'd love to see your take on the beginnings of their friendship. | |

| I love this--I love all sorts of gap-fllers, but I like this one in particular. In many places, including Tolkien's own letters, I have seen it written that Legolas contributed least to the Fellowship and that always annoys me. I always saw the whole point of the Fellowship was that each party was needed for the contributions they made what ever they were. Legolas definitely made his own and this was one of them--the "strong men" were indeed about to despair and might have given up and turned back if Legolas had not been there to tell them how close they were. It might have been the death of the halflings indeed if they had done so. This is one of those perhaps small but very important contributions that Legolas made that are so easy to overlook. In the series I'm writing, when I get to the Fellowship part, that is what I focus on in the Fellowship side of the story (it mostly focuses on the Battle under the trees). But the point is, I loved that you chose this particular moment to write about. I also loved the way you portrayed the temptation of the Ring and Legolas's thoughts about the dwarf and the way he managed helping Boromir. Well written indeed. These were a great idea. Author Reply: Thanks! I wrote these in a hurry ages ago, and only recently rediscovered them. It's great to come back after nine months and read something you've forgotten your wrote; a chance to get an objective view of your own work! I know what you mean about Legolas getting the short end of the stick in the Fellowship for the most part. Sometimes it seems like they would have us think he was there for the sole purpose of representing the Elves for the record, that old and tired race which is just about to leave town anyway. :P I beg to differ. ;) | |
