My Dear Bandobras  by Le Rouret 13 Review(s)
JessReviewed Chapter: 46 on 5/17/2015
I had second thoughts on reading this for you explicitly said that this is not a happy story. It is not a happy story, not entirely, but the ending gives me so much hope for Legolas' well-being now that his dear Bandy is finally with him. How I wish for a sequel, to know that Legolas has swiftly recuperated and is contented and rejuvenated from all his worries and sorrows. You are extremely wonderful and talented for making us, readers, feel, and symphatize with your characters. Now I want to walk under trees and feel the soft breeze in the air. Your stories make me long for something I am not sure of. Thank you for giving us the wonderful world of the Green Knight. You are an extremely talented weaver of stories.

Wow. That was heartbreaking! Moreso than I expected, to be honest, even though we were warned that this was not a happy story. I admit that I definitely tired of the letter format as it went on, especially at the more defining moments (Laustaire standing Legolas up at the joust, for one, and her behaviour at the feast afterwards) but at the same time, it is no easy feat to work within a style that limits how you can tell your story.

Thank you for your hard work to write this and share it with us. You are very talented!

Well, that was a beautiful piece of literature if ever did I see one before...

Ah, a happy ending at the last. Legolas WILL be all right now, I'm sure of it. *g*

This has been a fantastic story, Le Rouret and I'm so very glad you posted it where we could read it. *vbg* Thank you very much and {{{hugs}}} for a job well done. :):):)

[stares off in blissful happiness] Just gotta say that this was a wonderful story to read. It had me laughing, crying, angry, and a whole lot of other emotions. Well done. You are definitely amoung the top ten of my favorite authors.

Great story and I am very relieved by the ending. :) It could have been much sadder. I'm glad in the end we see Legolas with hope. You did a great job with this story. The use of letters and the language style are both very difficult things too pull off and you did both exceedingly well. And I think the idea of changing to dialogue for the last chapter was very effective stylistically. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the way you told it. Great job!

Oh, this is a perfect ending to the tale. I'm glad for the change from the letter format, if only so that we can see Legolas' astonishment and happiness firsthand. Beautifully done, and a perfect fade-out. We know that all will be well, eventually, and it is a delight to see Bandobras back again. I particularly loved Gimli's kiss on Legolas' brow, and Bandobras' - they're so caught up in the moment they probably weren't even aware of it, and I bet the Dwarf would deny it later if he were asked. But it was a lovely gesture. Thank you for saving Legolas from the marriage, and thank you for this reunion with his friends. Wishing you good luck and clear skies for your next endeavor (and no more troubling romances).

And as I have been lurking, I think I should pop out of the void again to pay my respects to the last chapter. ^^

A beautiful ending for a sorrowful story. And now from your comments to me from an earlier chapter, I am most curious to read that story you mentioned - the one in which 'bugger off' came to mind. ;) Might I know where that one is listed?

Author Reply: Well, if you really really want to risk it ... go to scribeoz.com under my fics (Le Rouret) and read Pottymouth. Not for the faint of heart! But people who've reviewed it have really loved it. Green Knight, Tent Mates, and Pottymouth are probably the three best fics I've ever written.

Thanks for your reviews, whether you read anything else or not!
