The Green Knight and the Master of Esgaroth  by Le Rouret 13 Review(s)
Shlain Reviewed Chapter: 15 on 9/26/2020
My heart froze when I realised we had to click yes/no on this chapter. You are a brilliant writer and I was silently begging you would not allow our beloved elf prince to be violated. I was glued to my screen while reading this chapter. And Kaimelas with his three penny wh*re explanation made me snort with laughter into my coffee. Le Rouret I do hope there's plot bunnies jumping around. We need a fluff piece. I vote Legolas/Gimli during their less friendly times. I need a good laugh! Your stories got me through some dark times and even now I revisit it.
PS: I found the experience Legolas was having with Renna quite titillating *cough* I'm not twisted *cough*

Yes, I know, another painfully short review from me, I should have put them all into one, but OMG, something just hit me -- Renna's hair! Oh, wow. Poor, poor Durfinwen. If only we could go back to when she was throwing slippers at Legolas for getting her mixed up in silly matchmaking against her will. (Well, we can, but you know what I mean.)

Good luck with the next chapter. I'll be on pins and needles waiting to see if, and hoping for, Durfinwen to make it.

Oh, I'm such a bad beta! I didn't review this yet. Have I mentioned I both anticipate and dread the next chapter? *grin* Thankfully, I've managed to grow my nails out enough to have something to chew.

This chapter...*shudders* While extremely creepy, is so skillfully woven, the reader cannot take their eyes away. The whole time I was inwardly screaming for Legolas to resist, to get OUT, and spellbound to see what would happen if he couldn't. I'm very glad he did, though I fear this is far from the worst it will get. I'm sure we're not where near the conclusion of this story and you LOVE to drag your readers along, building to the final climax. (bad pun)

While very dark, this story is one of your best. You have incorporated all your talent into one tale, from humor, letters, angst, drama, and horror. Brilliant, my friend, just brilliant!

I've only just caught up on this story, having only recently discovered it. It's one of the most chilling things I've read in a long time.

I'm seriously worried for Legolas. Both Renna and the Master seem to have an evil effect on him. I was almost shouting at him to tell him not to go to Renna! But she clearly has him sussed and knows that he wouldn't be able to resist a damsel in distress.

Couple of months ago, NiRi recommended your writings to me. I didn't take the time to read much of them, however. That is, until now. I had no idea what I was missing. :)

This certainly was a creepy chapter. But eerie as it was, it was also mesmerizing.

Poor Legolas. You just had leave him at a cliffhanger, did you not?
No matter. I'll be following story closely from now on.

I have to read this chapter several times before review it. I don't know what to say, I was terrified and almost screaming to Legolas-Get out of there!!!
I can see the connection between his dreams and this sex/almost rape scene: the serpent, the crawling, and the ring...I'm really worried for Thranduil, Is he under her control? Poor Queen...and the elves, will they go to war with the dwarves? I can not trust Thranduil anymore...what power this woman has? Now, is she wearing a wit? I didn't see that coming...Well, I least he knows now that he can not trust Anyone in that town...I just wondering what Legolas will find when he finally gets to his Father Halls.
And now Tamin and Bamdoras are missing, and I don't like the looks that Malbeach was given to Tamin...and I believe that you implied that he is interest in his own sex...Please, update soon and have all those people decapitated and killed (getting a little bloody here and I mean the bad people, of course...)
I wish to know what happened to Legolas's elves and especially Durfinwen..(Hope that Renna doesn't want Durfinwen's hair to replace her wit…sorry, it is a bad joke…)
Great chapter as ever, and please, update soon. Thanks

Oh, thank God. That was disturbing. I'm not sure my own stomach could have handled much more, let alone his. I have to compliment the smaller things you do so well -- the coldness of her fingers, the wig, the ring of Oropher, the snake imagery, I could go on. Perhaps Tamin and Bandobras will be reunited with Durfinwen(!) and the other elves. That might be enough to lessen my fear for their safety, though perhaps I should not forget that Bandobras is a knight!

nooooo! Not Tamin and Bandy!

(This chapter was great - the suspense is killing me! :D)

Author Reply: Yes, Tamin and Bandy! But don't worry - Bandobras is a Took, after all!

Thanks for the review!

Ok, this chapter took a couple of times to read. Very intense. What was Legolas thinking? Going to a married women's rooms? and then onto an Inn to meet with her, unchaparoned? I could just hear the scandal that would ensue if he was caught there.

Legolas' dream came back to me when I read the scene in the inn. Snakes and blood, "Crawl, harlot, crawl" oooh! creepy. And I am concerned with his vomitting blood. Something is seriously wrong.

This is one of your best stories yet. But I have a question for you. What does shirt-lifter mean? quote " but if he is no shirt-lifter, I am a Hobbit" My mind went into the gutter and stayed there. But I may be totally of base here.

Anxiously awaiting your next chapter.

Thank you for sharing your gifts.

Robin

Author Reply: I'm glad you're enjoying it, Robin, in spite of the creepiness. I don't know WHAT is wrong with my Muse. She's gone all Anne Rice on me.

Your guess as to the meaning of the word "shirt-lifter" is quite likely correct. You can't really blame Legolas for thinking Malbeach's interests lie with the same sex, considering the way he spoke to Legolas during the feast!

Thanks for the review!

That. Was. Amazing.
Wow! That chapter was so intense; absolutely brilliant.
I'm glad we at least know not to trust Renna. But, Oh! Poor Legolas!
Your imagery is so great, and your characters are so real. I anxiously await your next chapter.

Author Reply: Thank you! I've had several people tell me they've stopped reading my updates after dark. It's nice to know that I can adequately channel what my inner muse is telling me.

I'm working on the next chapter. Thank you for the review!
