| Ai! A story after my own heart. We have a Plan! *memo to self: eat not grapes whilst reading this tale as one may verily choke!* I am loving this, especially such things as "with more pong to his person than a wet wolfhound in high summer humidity". What an olfactory image (if such be possible?) that conjures. Dearly as I love my wood-elf, I know his dark thoughts and you have captured them. Keep writing! I end with the fond regards of all the "lemon-sucking" elves of Mirkwood and most especially my liege lord. Humble Scribe to his Majesty Thranduil | |

| Ahhhhhhhhhh, yer killin' me! Man, I had to run to the bathroom before I wet my pants! Geez, this is so funny. I'm still wiping the tears from my eyes. | |

| realizing he was wet, naked, and at the mercy of an Elven lunatic, he opted to save his life by being obedient. Oh my. And if the elven lunatic was indeed Legolas, I wouldn't mind trading places with Aragorn for a bit. *pauses, lost in luscious daydreaming* Ahem. Sorry about that digression, but if you're going to write fantasy-inducing lines like that, Jasta, you'll just have to give a girl time to get over herself before she can properly review your chapter. Loved the Twins and the dwarves. Nothing like ultimate Twin embarassment to liven up a dreary afternoon. Can I have a barrette like Legolas'? I liked the image of the squirrel with the little bow in its forepaws. You know, you were right about Elrond's voice of command working so long as the imitation sounded remotely like the original. Elladan's command managed to banish *my* thoughts about Legolas making love to the trees, as well. Although not forever, I must admit. *blushes* Boring, however, has long since gone on holiday and left the region. I like that line, can I borrow it someday? I loved Elrond's description of Legolas as Ennor's most adorable hooligan since Maglor; Elrond certainly has Legolas' number, doesn't he? :-) I am having way too much fun reading this story, Jasta. This amount of fun has to be illegal somewhere. Just don't tell me where! LKK Thranduilion, gerin le si! | |

| *Ponders* Ah, me. Where shall I begin in singing in the praises of what is quite probably my single most favorite chapter in all of LOTR fanfiction, Chapter: Part the Third: The Plan Goes South? Let's start with ... um ... ... Elrond's descriptions of two of the banquet attendees: Legolas, the brightest summer day had come to rest with all its loveliness upon his person, and Glorfindel, a law unto himself. Never have I read two more succinct and devastatingly accurate descriptions. ... Or how about we start with the descriptions of the Twins' and Legolas' outfits? So lovingly detailed that I would swear you wrote them for the premiere issue of Vanity Fair. ... But maybe, I should start with the absolutely fantastic arch writing / dialogue that you filled the banquet scene with? Noel Coward would be impressed. ... Perhaps it should be the humor as a slightly obtuse Aragorn tries to keep up with the machinations of his elven friend and brothers. I know!" Elladan said, raising one finger pedantically. "We shall discuss wardrobe." *sigh* Oh, good grief. I can't even figure out where to start this review. There's too much to mention. I'd probably just end up quoting the whole blessed chapter and waste Jasta's time. After all, she wrote it. She knows what the chapter says and how wonderful it is. I shouldn't bother her. *LKK slinks off to read Chapter 4: Part the Fourth: A Journey in the Dark* | |

| Oh man. I can't possibly read Chapter 2 without a smirk on my face. Reading this is just too much fun. It's got to be illegal somewhere. Mae-what-you-call-your-Govannen I loved that! And the description of Legolas' bouquet redolent of a bright spring day in the forest, with notes of citrus and honeysuckle! Oh my, oh my. *fans self* And another great line: Persuasion of that level of force is not legal in Imladris. I just might have to steal that one in addition to the one from Chapter 1. Ah, forget it! I just might as well steal all the lines from this story!! | |

| Where to begin in describing the delights of Chapter 1? How about with the second sentence. Of course, there were no clocks in Rivendell, but that was beside the point. That sentence introduces the chapter's tone perfectly. We're in for a delightfully arch time. Whoo-hoo! Very fun. And I love the Twins. My favorite line comes from one of them: Elrohir's I am simply not understanding this conversation. I think I might adopt that one as my own. (If you don't mind, of course.) | |

| Ah, I just had to leave a review for you here. Turnabout is fair, and since I was coasting through the site and came across this fine fic once again, I just thought I would pipe in my two bits on what a marvelous story this indeed is. You know I adore it, and I'm looking forward to the conclusion. This chapter, too, is one of the finest in this small tale's collection. The double meanings and implied subterfuge are just ... *gasp*... breathtaking. I love stories with complexity, and this one meets all the marks, plus it's a comedy to boot. And beyond that, I find Legolas, in this tale, incredibly attractive. Is it the bad boy mask he is wearing that is doing it for me? Don't know, but it gives me evil ideas. Hugs, and more soon please. | |
