I meant to review this when I got the last chapter, sorry! This story was brilliant, and I enjoyed every nail-biting moment!

Please write something else, soon!

Author Reply: I seriously hope you still have some nails left! LOL!! Thank you for your kind words. :D

No! NOT THE BALROG!! *runs and hides in freezer*

My overall impression of the story is about the same as what I've been saying: there was good development (and *lots* of lovely angst), and.....MY POOR BABY!!! ;-)

In this chapter, I liked the brief thing about the letter to Thranduil; it was a nice touch that kind of makes you feel like things are coming to and end...which is a desirable effect if it's actually the end of the story. ;-) Also makes me want to start a pillow fight...

*perks up* Another round of torture? Yea! *tucks Windex into belt* Well, don't let him rest for *too* long, or else he'll start getting lazy. ;-) just wait for me long enough to replenish my supply of frozen hamburger patties (excellent for throwing at mean authors) and muffins! (Muffins are good to eat during peaceful parts, and they *are* handy missles.) ;-)

I know what you mean with the dead plot bunnies...though once in a while I'll get lucky, and one of them will escape and have babies. ;-) All the same, I look forward to your next story!

Author Reply: Legolas? Getting lazy? Naaaah. I'll keep him busy. *eg*

And do you really throw hamburger patties and muffins at mean author? :D Then I have to be *really* mean. Muahaha. *prepares fridge for storage of hamburger patties and muffins* LOL!!!

Oh, and if your plot bunnies escaped and have babies, please send me a couple... the mean ones. I need them badly! :D

Author Reply: I'm desperately trying to end another one. Hehehe. It may not be as good and as entertaining as the previous ones but what the heck. It's already written and I'm not going to toss it away. So I'll post it and collect criticisms. LMAO!!

What a great ending! *sniffle, sniffle* So sad it is over, though. Laughed when they both jumped up and tried to hide the pillow, how cute. Really enjoyed the story overall, hope you write more.

Author Reply: Oh, I forgot to include the preview of my next fic. Heh. But it's not so well written. I think I've used up my limited creativity. :S But since it's already written, I might as well post it and see how many flames I will get. LOL. Will start posting AFTER I figure out how to end the freaking story. :P I've been sitting on it for more than 6 months and still can't figure out what to write. *sigh*

Lovely. *sniffles and laughs*

Very nice, overall.

Author Reply: Thanks :D

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your story. I'm not a frequent reviewer, but your story was too good to not say anything. I cried (you know where) and laughed and stressed through the whole thing. I've read a few of your other stories and this one is definately the best. You must be getting better with each one. I hope you plan on starting another one soon. Something with much grief and recovery of course! Thanks so much for the story. Nessa

Author Reply: Actually, this was the first story I wrote. LOL! I must be getting worse. Hehehe. I think I've exhausted my plot bunnies. They have all died. :P

*keeps the knife handy anyway*

NOTHING else had better happen to Legolas. Or else, even Barad-Dur will not be safe enough for you to hide in.

That said, yet another very nicely written chapter. *applause*

Author Reply: Nooo... no more excitement for our dear prince in this story. I think he's had enough... don't you? ;) But I can't say the same for the next story... *eg*

RhiannonReviewed Chapter: 27 on 5/18/2004
Yea! Our cute elf lives!! OK you can come out from behind the wargs and orcs now. Enjoyed the near-death experience and his being given a choice, good thing Legolas has a sense of honor. Looking forward to the conclusion.

Author Reply: Phew! *peeks out from behind the barricade of orcs and wargs and wipes sweat from brows*

Okay, thank you guys. You can go now. *watches as orcs and wargs unmask to reveal sweaty and tired looking humans*

*eg*

*runs*

Okay........but I'm not putting down the knife until the story is completely over!! Don't do anything else to my baby! *holds up hands* Stay back! I have Windex, and I'm not afraid to use it! ;-)

This situation reminds me of a great quote from a great movie: "It just so happens that your friend here is only *mostly* dead. There's a big difference between *mostly* dead and *all* dead." ~ Miracle Max - The Princess Bride ;-) You ever seen that movie? If you haven't, go rent it now! ;-)

Anyway, returing from my ramblings... Thank goodness for that wonderful realm between worlds that we like to stick Legolas into! Thankfully, he has a strong sense of honor. ;-) Aragorn's desperation and finally the worry of all of them combined was great! I just love that stuff. ;-) *evil grin*

I'm glad things are finally turning about! I'm learning a great lesson in trust, but you just can't trust everyone, you know!

Conclude soon! (Sequel???) ;-) ;-)

P. S. I like the chapter title, by the way.

Author Reply: Oh no! Not the Windex!! AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! :P I fixed him! See??! He's alive! So put that evil Windex away!!

I saw The Princess Bride several times and enjoy it evertime I watch it. :D

Yes, concluding in the next chapter. No more. The end. *sniff sniff* So sad. But all good things must come to an end. LOL! Let poor elfie recover before plunging him into another set of torture. *eg*
