Mardil Goes A-Courting  by Le Rouret 3 Review(s)
sheraiahReviewed Chapter: 3 on 3/4/2007
As amusing as the concept of Legolas as a matchmaker is, it also reveals a part of his psyche that one wouldn't normally see. You get a sense of precisely how lonely he truly is by how hard he tries to get his friend paired off. I can't help but feel for him. The fact that HE knows what's motivating him to get Mardil wed just makes me that much sadder for him. Le Rouret, you do bittersweet so very well!

As always, I look forward to your next installment.

I think Legolas deals more easily with the devotion of boys like Fastred. At least they don't have secret dreams that he might return their affection in a ... matrimonial sort of way. And if 14 and 40 is a big gap, 14 and however old Legolas is is much, much bigger! Fingers crossed Elwen finds someone more suited to her.

The drought sounds - relentless. And I doubt Legolas can do much about that. Unfortunately.

Now why am I starting to think that Legolas may be snared in some way in a trap of his own making...hmmm...

I love this so much!
