| Ahhh, happy sigh. This is just what we needed to see after suffering with the whole family through the separation!! I look forward to lots more family interaction, love and bonding! | |

| I have to go to the pool every day for an hour of waterjogging. It is truly heavenly and the hot tub is my ultimate reward. I can see how Legolas would be quite taken with his own pool/hot tub. A very sweet picture of Thranduil and Legolas at court. Legolas hanging onto his adar's braid and Thranduil swaying to placate his elfling. Nekkid elves are always a plus and we get all the males of the House of Oropher at once. It is too good to be true. How much better can you be to us? I once saw a PBS series on English gardens and it mentioned the mud mixture that they used at the bottom of ponds that lasted for decades without any problems. I guess the elves got there first. OOH The game of toss the elfling. He probably really enjoyed that. He does tire easily with so many to play with him he gets his fill. Thraduil remembering Alagos and Narawen was very angsty. But after so long a time he has his littlest back and he can gain comfort from that. Nice start to a cute and fluffy tale. I can't wait to read more. | |

| I was re-re-re-reading and was surprised at how touching I still found it. I would have thought that since I am to quote Legolas I would find him irritating - but I don't. The way he clutches onto his brother's/father's hair when he sleep is so cute. I am sorry but there is not other way to describe him. I want a baby like him. Even when he is throwing a tantrum he is adorable. Any chance of a sequel to this sequel? I would like to see the more of the rest of his family. Especially the brother who built the pool (whose name I cannot spell). You write so well - it is contructed well and the writing is very tight. No frivilous sentences anywhere - and I should know. I have read it often enough. The only problem I have is the Thranduil's large family size. Some of the siblings seem to get lost and remain names. If you had fewer elves then you could have given them more time without feeling obliged to give time to others. Of course, this is my personal opinion since I am in love with your Lathron. He is such a sensitive soul. *sigh*. Okay, don't have much to say except that I love the way you write. But I think you already know that. Fan Author Reply: Hi Fan - I am glad you still like it. Every so often I actually reread it myself :D. You are right about Thranduil's family - but once they were on paper and had names and personalities - it would feel like killing one of them to remove them! I mean, I planned to kill Alagos from the start and it still bothered me to do that! I think quite honestly that I wanted to create this large, wonderful, loving family for Little 'Legles' to come home too. I killed his Nana off, and his 'family' on the road all had families of their own to go home to. I wanted him absolutely enveloped in love and surrounded by people who were his family, people who had waited for him and wanted him. If I was going to deprive him of his mother, I was going to make sure to make up for it with doting siblings and father! | |
