| What a sweet story. There was excitement, and I admit that I got teary eyed a few times. This is one of those stories where you need to put a tissue warning on it. Little Legolas's hurt feelings was so realistic. My heart ached for the little guy. He simply couldn't understand why anyone would be so cruel, especially when all he had wanted was to be friends. Oh my...just broke my heart! Actually, I was glad in the end when Abronwë turned out to be good kid at heart. His sadness was understandable and he dealt with it inappropriately, but in a childlike manner. The scene between Thranduil and the kid's families was nice. Thranduil handled it well when I'm sure he wanted to jerk a knot in the tail of anyone who had hurt his child. Mirthrandir was a pleasant surprise. I'd like him and his 40 watt staff to show up if I were stuck out in a blizzard and covered over with snow. So there might some love brewing in the palace for Lathron? This would be nice to see. I like the old boy and would like to see him have a little excitement in his life. He's too calm. He needs a nice feisty elleth to shake his world up a little. I really enjoyed this, Nilmandra. Karen Author Reply: Ah, I am glad I made you cry. I am glad Legolas was realistic - he just had no idea that he was different or that people could be mean. His life is quite normal to him. And Mithrandir, well, things are always interesting when he shows up. A big gruff santa claus, bringing his sack of magic fireworks. I wouldnt' wake him up though, either. And doesn't Lathron deserve a nice elleth like Tinania? | |

| I was starting to have withdraws!! I kept looking to see if you had added a new story and I wasn't getting an update. I loved this story, but that is nothing new to you. I can't wait for your next stories. Keep up the great work! Author Reply: I am glad you liked it - its fluff mostly, but its fun to develop the characters a little too. Now I'm off to work on HLIII. Its mostly outlined and some scenes are sketched out. | |

| “He only sounds like a bear, Lathron. I think he does not bite.” LOLOL! That is a very a wise observation on the part of Legolas. ;-) Thranduil was wonderful with Abronwë (course, your Thranduil is always wonderful. :-D) The lost bets was a nice touch, as were the fireworks. This was a wonderful follow-up to May the Valar... I enjoyed the many references to it as old memories and emotion resurfaced. I hope there will be another story, eventually. :-D Thank you very much for this one! Author Reply: I am glad you liked it. It was fun to write, and fun to think of how these characters would think and act at this stage of their lives. I have had several Abronwe's in my life recently - and as easy as it is to get angry at them, when you look closer you see the sadness and pain and insecurity, and somehow it does change everythying. Not that these people were repentant like the child, but knowing why someone acts the way they do does help. | |
