Beneath Golden Leaves by Avon

Wow. Especially the last three sentences. The comparison is very very well done. But where is Aragorn's family? I know this is focused on Legolas/Aragorn/Boromir, but they should probably be there. At least Eldarion. Thank you for writing.

It is interesting that Arwen planted mellyrn within Minas Tirith, and that Legolas would think to place one beneath Aragorn's hand. The imagery is lovely.

Wow, this was so beautiful. The end was so sad. I love elves, but immortality must be very hard to endure when you have mortal friends who pass away. Did you make up the song or was that in the appendices? I can't remember. Anyway, good job. The language is very well written!

Thank you! Yeah, I've visited this theme - the shortness of mortal lives as seen by the Elves again and agian. It fascinates me. I'm 99.9% confident I made up the song (partly because I'm sure I would have credited it otherwise) but after a couple of years I just can't remember.

That is lovely; suitably solemn and thoughtful.

Thank you! I am fascinted by the interplay between Elves and Men - particularly how the Elves see the Men. I think Tolkien shows Legolas's wonderment and lack of absolute understanding very well.
