Bridges  by Bodkin 71 Review(s)
lwarrenReviewed Chapter: 1 on 8/3/2006
Ai Bodkin! You can't do this to me!!! Bad author, to leave Legolas in such a place! I really hope these two will come to some sort of understanding of one another - that is, if they survive this storm! I find Taryatur's response to the thunder and lightning very telling, even after all the time since he fought in the war. It is understandable he wants to shield his family from the horror he has experienced, but he has carried it to an extreme that is causing some serious upset in, not only his immediate family, but in his daughter's as well. I am surprised that Thranduil let him get away with it!:-)Legolas appears to be trying, but is pushed to his limits by Taryatur's sniping remarks. A serious situation - very hard to know what to do to 'bridge' the gaping chasm between the two. But Bodkin, did you have to let a tree fall on Legolas??? :-(

I know I am going to thoroughly enjoy this when I have recovered from the shock of the last paragraph! Welcome back - happy birthday - great beginning to this story! (*yells over shoulder, "somebody get an ax - call 911!*) :-)

Author Reply: Poor Legolas. He does his best with Taryatur, but I think he's getting a bit waspish himself about the elf! But they're alone in the middle of a storm and with a fallen tree to contend with. It could be make or break!

Seven thousand years or so might have passed, but Taryatur is still coming to terms with his war experiences - and I think he might find it helpful to look on his son-in-law as a fellow vet rather than a symbol of the evil of war ... but we'll have to see what they are going to get out of this experience. I've only got about another page and a couple of chapter titles to give me a clue!

I think Thranduil knows that this situation can only be sorted out between Legolas and Taryatur - and that there's another element to it ... (some fathers just find it impossible to let their daughters go).

And maybe the tree missed him. You never know.

Thank you - I thought I'd do a hobbity birthday post and offer a story. Sorry to give you a shock! I'll get straight on to seeing Legolas and the tree don't get too close!
