"Lanatus watched as she left in search of the prince. He shook his head sadly. Such incidents were by no means uncommon in the household. He longed for the quieter times with Oropher." Quieter times with Oropher? I don't know why I find the idea amusing. Thranduil could not have been a picnic growing up!

Am enjoying this story. I find Lanatus highly amusing and do hope he is a regular of yours?

Oh no!! Now you must write the next chapter, and let us know what happened to Elladan! Now I'm worried!

Author Reply: You don't need to be too worried. As you can see, he's going to be fine - and there's no cliffhanger this time! As a matter of fact, it's Elrohir you should be worried for next chapter ...

Er, where is the rest of it? I know there are more chapters. I want to read the rest of it - this is such a wonderful story. (However, I am not as fond of ff.net)

What really drew me to this was how you maintain the humour without resorting to cliches, which I know from personal experiece is very difficult.

I would say "Keep up the good work" but I know you will without my having to say so. (Makes me sound too pompous anyway) ;)

I will say UPDATE SOON (the last chapter took too long) :(

Author Reply: Too long? I try to post a new chapter every night! I'm transferring chapters gradually - it's easier to read, easier for me to revamp each chapter as I go, and I get more reviews! There should be a new chapter tonight, so long as I get chance to edit it.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWww how very cute! Legolas is about to get it rather badly me thinks :)

This is so cute - keep going!



Author Reply: I don't think the twins will find out about the spider for a while - as long as he keeps that spider out of their way! But the tall tale he tells his friends is about to backfire.

i really liked this one. i think it was a bit funny how Elrond is going along with it.

Author Reply: I like to write both Elrond and Thranduil as loving fathers, who can be strict when necessary, but who know when to turn a blind eye to minor mayhem.

Hello! I'm having a grand ol' time rereading this story from beginning to end. (Well, sort of to "the end", since it's still ongoing over at fanfiction.net, but you know what I mean. I hope!) I loved the irony of Legolas scaring the twins with his fake spider only to be scared by a real one himself. Good for Legolas for realizing that the danger of an actual spider was more important than any punishment he might receive for having been out playing the trick. Not every child would have made that decision, I warrant.

A comment or two regarding the earlier chapters -- Legolas' solution to the indistiguishable twins was ingenious: call them both Ellahir. (Congratulations to a very ingenious author as well!) Much amusement over the fact that Elrond sometimes can't tell which son is which, but Arwen always can. And major hilarity over Elrond's "confusion" as to which son was born first!

Looking forward to more chapters migrating from fanfiction.net so that I can revisit the joy of newly forming friendships. (And I'm very curious as to what "the truth" that Legolas is so ashamed of is in the last posted ff.net chapter. My guess: he feels ashamed at being mentally paralyzed by the child's sudden appearance on the archery field. Even though that fact is nothing to be ashamed of, it's the sort of thing a youngster who sets high standards for himself would berate himself on.)

Author Reply: Legolas has been brought up well - he does recognise his duty, which is why he told his father about the spider. Which is also why Thranduil did not punish him for sneaking out at night - honesty pays!

Yikes! Sounds as though a certain Prince of Mirkwood just might be in a bit of trouble! Loved the chapter.

Author Reply: Yes - it could be just desserts. Or perhaps he's going to be the dessert? Next chapter should be up tonight - find out then!
