| AGGGGHH! I'm hurting just reading this chapter! Poor Legolas! And you had me worrying for awhile that there was some sort of spider hidden somewhere near those two! Whew! at last Thranduil and the others have found them, tho'! Arwen has definitely outdone herself, with the way she's protected Legolas and refused to even move when it looked like another cave-in. Update soon, as I could hardly bear the ending and hearing that the worst was yet to come for our Prince! Author Reply: The next chapter is about half-written, but I haven't got to the Legolas part yet! I have it on good authority (thanks, Nilmandra!) that recovery from such injuries is not pleasant, so look out for more angst. Thanks for the review. Jay | |

| This is wonderful, angsty tale. I love the interaction among the characters, especially Legolas and Thranduil in this chapter. Very tender but never too much. IŽll be waiting for your next update (poor elf). Alina Author Reply: I like writing angst, and hurt/comfort. There's plenty of both to come, and more Thranduil/Legolas. | |

| Ooh, let the games begin! This is great! I can't wait for the next update! Author Reply: Games? Well, there'll be lots of angst to come, and plenty of hurt/comfort. | |

| Hey Jay! Wow, another wonderful chapter in a fic I've been following for a while, well... I follow all of your fics but I do enjoy this one in particular. The realism of the characters is great, as is the storyline :) Keep up the great work! Author Reply: I'm glad you like this - the twins aren't central characters, but are around, and will feature more in future chapters. | |

| The worst is just beginning?!!! Are you kidding? Poor Legolas! You had me going for a minute, Jay. I was afraid that the movement Legolas sensed was a spider. Arwen was very brave and did what she had to do. I really admire her. Author Reply: Yes, poor Legolas - the next few days won't be much fun. There are no spiders in this story, just Legolas hallucinating a little, and developing the claustrophobia we're all familiar with through fan fiction. And as for Arwen, I've said before that Aragorn wouldn't have fallen in love with a wimp! | |

| I am glad Legolas was rescued - glad his father knew how to get to where he was. I am glad to see Arwen continue to be brave and strong too. And you did good, I think, with the crush injury. It reminds me why I stayed far away from that side of the trauma unit. :( The build up of acid is going to make him hurt terribly from head to toe when he next wakes. Lets hope the healers are believers in the 'people heal better when not stressed by pain' philosophy! Who am I kidding - of course Elrond is! I must admit, too, that I am a big fan of the comfort part of hurt/comfort. :) Author Reply: I think most stories ignore Arwen - but she must have had something special for Aragorn to love her so. If you can give me any ideas on how 'crush syndrome' makes the victim feel, I'd be grateful - all I can find out is the medical symptoms. And don't worry, there will be plenty of hurt AND comfort to come! | |

| PHEW! You really had me going off on a frightening tangent there, Jay. With Elrohir and Arwen discussing spiders, then Legolas spotting the lights over Arwen's shoulders, I was certain there was a spider's nest in the cave! I'm quite happy to be wrong. :) Sounds like the next few days are going to be rough on the prince. Hopefully, Calmacil and Elrond came help shorten the time period and prevent any downward health spirals. My favorite moment this: Legolas leaned back against his father, feeling obscurely relieved, a remnant of his childhood belief that his father could do anything, would make everything all right somehow. Very touching. Author Reply: No spiders, just Legolas hallucinating a little. The hibernating spiders links to a one-shot story, 'Mid Winter's Eve' that I wrote over a year ago. In my universe, Thranduil's wife is dead, so he and Legolas rely on each other a lot, and are very close. I *hate* evil! Thranduil stories! | |

| *sniff* Poor kid! (All of them - but especially Legolas.) And poor Thranduil! Seeing his beloved child in so much pain has put him through the ringer already, and there's more too come. Oi! It's gonna be a rough chapter 5 for everyone! I look forward to it, though. Excellent work. It's not easy going back and filling out out a scene from an earlier story, but you're doing a great job of it! :-) Author Reply: Yes, there'll be more Thranduil/Legolas angst to come. I'm glad you like the expanded scene - we've come to the end of what was written before, so the rest is new territory! | |
