| Well .... I cried, and that's probably enough to let you know I am/have been enjoyed these stories. Legolas and his pov post-War of the Ring has always seemed to me the saddest part - the book dosen't end for me until he and Gimli sail, and his feelings must have been re-assaulted each time a member of the Fellowship died. He had the longest "view" of those characters we get to know well, bar Mithandir, and so would have grieved for the loss of his (mortal) friends as well as the ending of the time of the elves in ME.

| What a picture of utter misery poor Tathar is at the beginning of this chapter. It’s so touching, though, that Legolas offers comfort in the way that Tathar did for him so many times before. “Then perhaps it would be wise of you not to feel that way about Aragorn’s son, lest he die in your charge as well!” Ah, Tathar. I can see how he reacts as he does out of despair and pain but those words would be very hard to forgive. That image of Thranduil holding Tathar is so sad, it brought tears to my eyes. They’ve both suffered the loss of loved ones so can understand each other and as well as that, Tathar helped Thranduil when he was parted from Legolas while he was on the quest so I imagine Thranduil is attempting to repay that. You’re full of surprises, jenolas! I can’t believe it never dawned on me that Tathar might fade or might decide to sail. I really thought for a moment there that he was going to die *breathes deeply* I suppose Tathar just gave so much of himself and eventually it became too much. In a way, Legolas must understand. His urgency seems to suggest that he knows full well that Valinor will provide healing and how necessary it can be to sail there – and Tathar has less keeping him here than Legolas does. How sad, though, that the two friends will be parted. Author Reply: Thranduil and Tathar have a developed a special understanding, since both are fathers and neither Legolas or Thranduil want to lose him. as you say, he has givem so much of his strength to them both, that they will gladly do anything to see him happy once more. Of course, he is sailing to Valinor with the certainty that one day he will be reunited with Legolas as well. | |

| Hi! I love your stories. The only thing that I dont like is that you make the relationship between Legolas and Tathar soooo GAY! Yikes! Blargh!!! I hate slash, and I know you only mean it to be brother love but even so... Author Reply: I am pleasd to hear you like my stories, but saddend that you see the deep love and affection that Legolas and Tathar feel for each other, and are not ashamed to display openly as being gay. That was not my intention, nor is it permitted within the guidelines of the Stories of Arda guidelines. I am sorry if you took offense where none was intended. jenolas | |
