| Great story! I am really enjoying your AU look of what could have been an earlier meeting. Thanks. | |

| This is marvelous! I love all the interactions between the characters! And the plot is also intriguing. Looking forward to more. | |

| There have been hundreds of new fics based on the movies posted over the last three years, and most of them are dreadful in one way or another. But a select few really have grabbed my favorable attention, and in spite of the fact that hobbits are my favorite characters, nearly all of those few have fastened on the Mirkwood Elves. This one easily fits into the category of *really good!* and I am looking forward to what you will make of it. As for the time element: all the discrepancies in the timeline between book- and movie- verse hinge on the decision PJ made in FotR to eliminate the 17 years between the time Bilbo left after the Party and the time that Frodo left after he learned of the Ring. So his bit about Aragorn in the movie was a nod to that discrepancy. | |

| Thank you for deciding to write this story! I am really enjoying it and look forward to more! I also had a problem with the scene from the movie, but that just means we knew too much ;-) my friends who like the movies but aren't into as much as I didn't mind the way it was written. Idril | |

| I am sorry that Durion was killed by the orcs, though life in that time must have been hard and very dangerous. The fact that Legolas/Taurion and Halboron have managed to avoid the orc patrols so far is probably due to the stealth that Legolas has learned while patroling in Mirkwood. And it is Halboron's good luck that he is partnered by Legolas. Your tense sense of timing and edge of one's seat drama had me pushing Legolas and Halboron in my mind to get to the Angle. Just as it seemed they were clear, another orc group would show up. By the time they were found by the twins and Estel, I had been gritting my teeth wanting to shout to the characters to hurry and knowing that they weren't going to make it. You made it very realistic for me and it has been some time since I have read some of your earlier stories. Good drama. Then to find out that Legolas had been hiding wounds so he could get Halboron home is not surprising but it certainly was better that the twins were there to help remove the arrowhead and have Estel use the athelas. Without that trio, Legolas would have been one sick elf. Looking forward to the next part of this story. The first meeting between Estel and Legolas is understated here but should develop as time goes on. | |

| Estel, when you call him back, you must call him by his true name. That's a very clever detail. | |

| I saw the movie and found this scene odd. I like your version better. I hope you continue this story. This is a refreshing new take on how Aragorn and Legolas might have met. | |

| Legolas is not the only withholding information, obviously. A good introduction to the Dunedain. | |

| I'm enjoying this story very much. Your story may not be going in this direction, but I'd love it if we could get Legolas's POV on hobbits and their protected, contented lives. | |
