Mid Winter Gifts  by Jay of Lasgalen 6 Review(s)

Jay, I must have missed this in my work crisis! I like the reunions and Legolas being able to cry in his Ada's arms, but I truly laughed aloud at the comments about Arwen and Celebrian. Their beauty and presence must have overwhelemed the men!

I'm glad everyone has been found safely! The late-night father-son discussion was very touching, Jay. I liked the human with the talk-first, think-later tongue. It's a good thing Elrond has a sense of humor. Is Thranduil going to give his gift to the little girl himself? If so, I hope she tells him she thought he was a lady. I want to see his reaction to that! LOL

Great chapter, Jay. I'll be sorry to see this story end.

Author Reply: Sadly, it is almost finished - but it was supposed to be a short fic for Christmas! There's just the epilogue to do. I hope Thranduil will be able to give the girl her gifts - she will be equally surprised to discover that the 'lady' she found is a king!

Yay, you posted. I'm happy. Very good chapter. But what does "to be continued" mean? I thought this story was gonna be finished in chapter 5! Now I have to suffer through the wait for something to come next. Torture, I tell you! Torture!

hehe

Author Reply: You thought it was going to be five chapters? *I* thought it was only going to be two or three! But it 'growed'. I hope to finish this soon, I promise!

Hi! This is a very sweet story! I read it around Christmas and found it perfect for the Holiday mood - but it works just as well now. Sorry I was too lazy to review, but I swore to myself that will change now.
I´m glad you continue the story - how many more chapters can we expect?!
Great job!

Author Reply: Well, I only plan on there being one more chapter - but I've said that before! Despite the long delay, I'm determined to finish this story before too long, even if it's no longer seasonal.

And any review is better than none!

Oh, I'm SO glad you've updated! I love this story, and I'm curious to see how Thranduil goes about giving gifts. I love how you write the Elves.

Author Reply: I'm so sorry about the long delay! But the gifts are coming - Santa Thranduil will be appearing soon.

What a joyous chapter! The women did well and Thranduil is going to honor Legolas's promise, as I knew he would (that's my Elven King!). He's proud of his son and he's getting ready to give gifts to the humans. What more could I ask for?

Author Reply: Legolas knew his father would honour his promise as well really, but he was feeling a bit unsure of things at the time. Bearing in mind the title of this story, and the fact that it was *supposed* to be a Christmas story, we have to get to the gifts sooner or later!
