| I've enjoyed this story and cannot stop reading. You've done an awsome job and should write your own books. I needed to make a critque however, I believe you placed legalos in a healing position where estel should have been. After all estel is the King who bring healing to his people. He have the hands of healing; not legalos. This is only my personal opinion and I'll keep reading, as I'm enjoying this. Please keep writing more. | |

| Am really enjoying this story - and I think your assessment of L's age is the most likely (I've always thought that his tendency to be open to new things and his unfortunate habit of befriending short-lived beings was a result of both his youth (hadn't visited Lothlorien before FOTR), his "sad" childhood (was an efficient despatcher of orcs, so obviously a good warrior, therefore Mirkwood had been "visited" by orcs/spiders/whatever for long enough for this to happen) - I think his mother had died/sailed early on in his life, and that there must have been a positive encounter with Men when he was young (Thranduil found Galadriel a problem, dwarves too (remember Doriath) and so probably had a problem with Men too - bar trade The only thing I found a bit jarring was that the reason given for Estel to not assist in the healing was that his elven blood was too dilute - but we know from FOTR that he used Athelas to aid Frodo and that it (healing) was a gift - and a sign he *was* the rightful King. This is great stuff (already ready The Conversation and The Aftermath), my favourite fan fiction is set before LOTR, and there isn't enough of it! (at least I haven't found enough Cheers and please keep it up - it's great stuff, Helen | |
