The Green Knight and the Heir of Meduseld  by Le Rouret 4 Review(s)

Hey, Le Rouret.I loved this chapter! From Fastred's opening dream, to his hilarious breakfast orders from his friends and to the thrilling battle there was no time to breathe--and I enjoyed every moment!

How sweet was the image of both Fastred and Bandobras curled around Legolas as the elf slept along with them? Perhaps two of the reasons Legolas looks a little better this morning are right there beside him.I think they each thrive on the love they have for each other and they never hold back with their feelings, which is wonderful.Oh, and the kisses that are bestowed between certain characters is another aspect of this story that I really enjoy.I've just returned from two weeks holiday in Sicily and kissing between friends is completely normal--everybody does it and it's lovely to see such gestures so commonplace.

The battle was very well staged and I had completely forgotten about the elves! That was a great surprise as I didn't know how Legolas and the others would avoid being captured.Fastred did his people proud with the way he fought and he grows more kingly with each day.

Tamin--I must say that this young elf is utterly adorable and his ebulliance is utterly captivating.I want to adopt him :D He is an already steadfast friend and Fastred needs someone his own age to spend time with.I think they could have a friendship that would last a lifetime.I'm sure there are enough plot bunnies that abound concerning Tamin, too.I hope there are!

Keep up the brilliant writing, Le Rouret.I do love your stories and this is your best yet.Can't wait for more!

Take care.

Ali.

Nick of Time rescue from the Elves and the Dunlendings there. And Fastred is learning to behave in a very kingly manner.

I like Tamin - he is offering Fastred a companionship he badly needs - and the rapprochement between the Dunlendings and the Dwimmerlaik can only be to the advantage of both.

With luck, this party might actually make it back to Edoras!

Ah, always a delightful surprise to see this story come up with a new chapter! I stole without remorse time away from the paying job to read it, and I'm not sorry, either

You got me again. Here I bought into the trap, completely forgetting the elves who might or might not go to Edoras as bidden. I was nearly as glad to see them as our friends. Now, if Andunea is not too badly injured, it seems the day is saved.

And praise as well to Karakse, who finally got the message that he doesn't have to put up with fast little warhorses in his face. It's time the old boy reached his breaking point and fought back. I don't blame his opponent for reconsidering the fight, though -- something that size, with feet that big start bashing me about the head and shoulders I'd leave in a hurry too. There is something so impressive about the war bellow that a horse gives warning with. He's a good old fellow :)

As always, I'll be here whenever another lovely installment should be ready for us. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us all :)



...Actually, come to think of it, something his size did try to thump me about the head, but as I was attached to his halter he just picked me up off the ground and neither of us could really reach the other save my punching him in the nose...it was an odd battle. Karakse did a much better job of it.

Wow I loved this chapter! The fight scene was brilliant, especially Fastred being so brave. And it was great to see Rumil and Tamin again. I can't wait to read more, keep up the good work! xoxo
