Journey's End  by Nilmandra 2 Review(s)

Hello again! I just wanted to say I am enjoying this so far. I`m sad to see I have only one chapter left.Lol.
I can relate to Lathron in this chapter. I`m constantly asking my neice to take a nap, not for her, but really for me! Children are always a joy, but they can be very tiring.
well, I`m off to the last chapter!

Author Reply: I'm glad you enjoyed this... it was written because people asked, but it felt right to show a little more of Legolas's life as he settled in at home. Lathron is quite smart, quite the good big brother - I'm shameless in my love for him!

The Wedding Day!! Decorate the bridal bower and leave a bottle of wine with two glasses. That is class. Shuffle off Legolas to his own bed, just anyone's bed won't do. You know better elfling.
So many new things to learn to enjoy and with everyone so excited a wedding must be one of them.
Lathron contemplating his brother. Slowly integrating into the family and giving Tathiel as much of her own life as they can. She will always be a part of Legolas' life. The littlest prince does sound very draining.
A friend of mine once gave me one of those light bulb moments. I asked wearily 'where do they get all that energy?' as my daughter scampered around playing. My friend said 'didn't you know? They drain it from their parents.' I just stopped in my tracks dumbstruck. I believed her totally. Now with elves they do drain their energy from their parents.
Legolas' begetting day present from Thranduil to his Queen, the sapphires. It is very fitting that Tathiel gets them and Narawen would agree completely. She also wears Narawen's wedding dress. That was so very nice of the king. Tathiel is fully of that family now.
A beautiful bride is a given of course. All brides are beautiful but Tathiel is especially so. After all that she has gone through.
Sons of the House of Oropher. How proud ada must be of all of them, daughters also dressed alike. OOH Legolas is the ringbearer and he gives a blessing. What a big responsibility for such a little elfling. He is very important today.
Lovely set up for the wedding. Nice details. Lots of singing and food is very elvish, wood elvish anyway.
I loved the bond between the two L's, Lathron and Legolas. They are so fond of each other.
The whole family table, ceremony and everything was so touching. We all love weddings. Tathiel thought her heart would burst with love. How sweet. And Legolas got a kiss too.
Very romantic bonding. Do you think we obssess on the bonding btween two elves because we have nothing to compare to it. We can leave a relationship all too easily. They never forsake that bond. Except in fanfiction of course.
An elflings big day. Swim, ride, play games, build with his blocks, maybe stories but no naps. He will stay still long enough to watch Lathron take a nap but that is all. Will Legolas beg for a nap? He will just collapse likely as not. On to the bet between Bregolas and Adar. That was funny. Who will win?
Great wedding/bonding. I bet you had so much fun writing it. The interaction between the brothers and between Thranduil and Tathiel was great. Such a very nice chapter. Thank you for getting Tathiel married off in grand style.
