Tinnuial · 24 October 2005 · Chapter 5: Three Noble Knights

A new story! You made my day....I've been away for a bit...so this is a very lovely homecoming surprise! I just loved how you described Legolas with the children and Mistress Pearl and hiding from all his advisors! Poor fellow! I can't wait to see the next chapter! :)

So, Hobbits of the Shire serve the Lord Legolas and succor him when he has to hide from protocol, eh? Lovely!

Larner · 19 October 2005 · Chapter 3: The Lord of Dol Galenehtar

Was afraid Fastred had been taken by some enemy. Glad the apparent spell on the glade was intended, apparently, only to protect it from profanation. Hope they find the horse all right. Sanctuary he still thinks to find, does he? Interesting.

Lamiel · 19 October 2005 · Chapter 4: First Breakfast

Ah, so it sounds like Legolas will eventually be escorting Fastred to Rohan, as I expected. But I don't mind tarrying for awhile first -- it's something to see Legolas as a lord, with all the courtly courtesies and etiquette that entails. And I'm glad to see Bandy again -- I missed him. But Pearl is here as well? And is ill? Then why isn't Pippin with her? I suppose he's busy being Thain, but I would have thought he'd insist on accompanying her. Ah, but you have a better idea of the real responsibilities of leadership, even in the Shire. As always, this is a pleasure to read. I shall look forward to more.

Oh joy! Bandy!Bandy!Bandy!Bandy! *grin* And Pearl. Oh, I just *love* her! The picture of the Elven prince with his head in the little hobbit matron's lap was so sweet! What a delight! But...what's the matter with Bandy's mum? I do hope it's not too serious. Poor Legolas, just trying to get some breakfast and waylaid over and over and over along the way! But I knew that the second he told Bandy he was hungry, then all would be well. Bandy would never let his Master go hungry, and woe betide anyone else who would have tried to stop them then! *sigh* Now I have to wait another week...

Indigo Bunting · 18 October 2005 · Chapter 4: First Breakfast

What a lovely story! You have such an intriguing way of writing - very medieval. I'm not surprised that Legolas took Fastred in, but neither am I surprised that things did not turn out as Fastred expected. I am sure that he will find himself learning a thing or two about responsibility and duty during his stay with the Elves. That he thinks Legolas spends all of his time fishing and climbing trees shows that there is still much that he doesn't understand. I look forward to watching Fastred's maturation unfold. Oh, and Mistress Pearl and Bandy? Too wonderful! I look forward to seeing more of them as well. Indigo

Hi! This chapter was very funny and had me relax a bit about this story. As a rule I am not very interested in stories how insubordinate children are tamed and broken to society after they show the proper repentance, since I hate the moralistic and paedagogically raised finger in these things telling how much better it is if the children follow the grown-ups (yawn), and I was beginning to fear this story would be solely about *that*. But this chapter was a bit of fresh air, showing everything I love about the Green Knight universe! Legolas' hopeless attempts to escape his busy subjects and reach breakfast was very funny, and Bandorbas was like a gust of fresh air! Very lovely! Plese write more soon! Aislynn

Mae Govannen Le Rouret, What a wonderful chapter (and story). I definitely enjoyed seeing Legolas's world at home & how trying to do a simple thing such as get a bite to eat can turn into a comedy routine! Some times I think of elves as these perfect beings who never have to worry about having a bad day. I think the Legolas, Kaimelas & Galas need a few more eflings around to drive them crazy. (humm maybe Eldarion could run away too...) Until next time, Your fan, Eliza

Dreamflower · 10 October 2005 · Chapter 3: The Lord of Dol Galenehtar

Oh, poor little Fastred! Kaimelas certainly made him see the error of his ways! And being a child of good conscience and of a loyal loving nature, he did indeed provide himself with his own punishment! I like Legolas' solution to those that come and claim sanctuary with him. Very wise, practical and compassionate. And I have a feeling that Legolas will be sending a letter of his own to Faramir and Eowyn, and perhaps one to Eomer in Rohan as well. I think young Fastred is going to have a number of lessons to learn, and Legolas will be an excellent teacher. Oh--and by the way, I have missed your lovely style, and am thrilled to see it again!

Lamiel · 10 October 2005 · Chapter 3: The Lord of Dol Galenehtar

H'm, this is curious. I wonder what Legolas knows, that he takes the boy in so readily. I would think he'd send him straight back to his parents, or perhaps accompany him to Rohan. I'm still not sure that he won't go to Rohan with Fastred, but that doesn't look to be happening any time soon. Still, it seems that he's implying Fastred will be able to stay there for an indefinite time, and I think that unlikely. H'm. I shall look forward to seeing how all of this works out. I am glad that Legolas didn't really take a switch to him, though. I can't imagine an Elf doing such a thing to his own child - Tolkien did say that Elf children require little correction. Legolas seems to adopt mortal customs as he chooses, and ignore the ones he dislikes, and I cannot imagine him taking to that one.

Dreamflower · 4 October 2005 · Chapter 2: The Runaway

Goodness, Fastred is such a serious, earnest, dear little boy. I love the way he has planned out every contingency--except for little beggar girls, and getting lost, and unexpected rainstorms. I have a feeling though, that his reception by Legolas is not going to be quite what he expected, somehow. And Eowyn and Faramir must be frantic by now.

Aislynn Crowdaughter · 3 October 2005 · Chapter 1: Ill News

Hi! Wonderful to have you back and to read a new story about the Green Knight, aka the illoustrous Lord Laassah! BTW, I like that way, a lot, and I loved the description of how Legolas cared fro Faramirs children himself when they were ill. The poor Elf is clearly disappointed that he has no Little Ones of his own, but he dioes apparently marvellously with Faramir's children instead as doting uncle! Now my little grain of salt: you know of course that following canon, Eomer and Lothiriel indeed *had* a son of their own, Elfwine, and he followed Eomer in his rule? But it will be interesting to see how Fastred has to deal with his new responsibilities in the end, nevertheless. Or will the birth of Elfwine be the very thing that get's him out of this pickle? Anyway, I love this story and I'm going to enjoy it immensely, as I do all stories of yours! Aislynn

An enchanted sleep such as thirteen dwarves and one hobbit once knew. And who knows what elves might guard such a place? He ought to have listened to his horse!

Alison H · 3 October 2005 · Chapter 2: The Runaway

I am loving this story already! The idea of Fastred running away to have a wild adventure with Legolas is very appealing--but I think the lad is in for a shock.I can't wait to find out what has put Fastred to sleep and who are the mysterious beings in the clearing? A great start. Lamiel described your writing as using courtly language and I agree.When I first read 'The Green Knight' I thought of Patrick O'Brien's 'Captain Aubrey' novels.Your words really flow and your stories really are some of the best in the fan fiction world.Can't wait for more! Ali.

Larner · 27 September 2005 · Chapter 1: Ill News

An interesting story--one that is totally AU, of course. But the idea of wanting to run away to Legolas is fascinating.

Elenora · 27 September 2005 · Chapter 1: Ill News

*Throws back head and cheers uproariously..."Yeah!!! She's back!!!* As is The Green Knight, and immediately, you've reminded me of why I so enjoyed both "The Green Knight" and "My Dear Bandobras" - both the lovely "court language," as Lamiel so aptly described it, and the delightful, sweet interaction between Legolas and the children (or those "child-like," such as Bandrobras) around him. Seeing Legolas through the eyes of characters such as Bandobras or Fastred reminds me all over again of the utter wonder, beauty, and other-worldliness of the elves, and especially Legolas. I am looking forward with eager anticipation to where you will head with this story...and I have no doubts it'll be as enjoyable as your previous works. Welcome back!!

The Green Knight for Gondor! Yay, he's back. Well, not just yet, but your characterisation of Fastred is enough to hold me for now! What a wonderful chapter. I love the perspective you've written from. Fastred is definitely torn between childish wants and his daunting duties. I love the way he attempts to justify merging the two by convincing himself to go to Lord Lassah. Oh, that boy will be trouble! Congratulations, and thank you for continuing the Green Knight's tale. All the best, phoenix23531

Coriel · 26 September 2005 · Chapter 1: Ill News

Oh, goodness. ^_^ I can see Fastred will be opening quite a can of worms in a bit.

Lamiel · 26 September 2005 · Chapter 1: Ill News

I'm pleased to see you continuing this saga. You capture the realities of medieval court life better than anyone I've seen, and the courtly language is fun to read. Perhaps it isn't quite Middle-earth as Tolkien wrote it, but it's much better than the many anachronisms that creep into so many works by well intentioned but ignorant authors like myself. Many people have commented on the discomfort of courtly dress, for example, but few point out the real hardships of being a prince. Being sent away from one's family to be raised with strangers, for example. Very scary, and you perfectly capture Fastred's fear, worry, and determination to behave as a prince should. Such a conflict of emotions and stress in one so young! I think that Legolas will be very sympathetic, having been raised as a prince himself, but I also suspect that Fastred won't be sheltered from the evils of court life quite as much as he hopes. No, I think that Lassah may end up going to Rohan for a bit, provided he can escape the rule of his own colony for a while. Now that should prove interesting. P.S. Loved this line, "he took him as seriously as he took the mortal adults of his acquaintance – thus, not at all." Excellent. P.P.S. Please, no love interest for Legolas in this story. Right? Please. I don't think I can take it again.

Duchess67 · 26 September 2005 · Chapter 1: Ill News

Oh how marvelous a beginning you've got going here. Poor Fastred! Not wanting to leave the home he's always known, I can sooo understand and in the petulance of youth deciding to run away to the one who spoiled him throughout his childhood. Hm, if I'd had "Lord Lassah" in my childhood I'd have run away to him too! *giggle* I have missed your writing style for this 'verse and am so VERY glad you're back! *vbg* I'd harp more on that and the story, but I have to scoot now and get ready to go into town. Errands to run and then the new hours at work will keep me away till about 1 a.m. and I'm a little bit late already. LOL Hope to chat more tomorrow. :)

Dreamflower · 26 September 2005 · Chapter 1: Ill News

Oh! Oh! Oh! How perfectly lovely!! Now I am going to have to go back and check "My Dear Bandobras", to see where this falls on your timeline--before or after Bandy returns to his master? And I do so love sweet Fastred. What a wonderful and loving child he is! *sigh of contentment* and looking forward most anxiously to *next* Monday!!

Wantanelf · 21 September 2005

Oh, you are evil. How am I going to wait until Monday? I've been hoping the Green Knight would return. Can't wait for the next series of adventures. I have something to look forward to now!!

Duchess67 · 21 September 2005

You sneaky thing you! I just about choked on my cereal for joyful squealing over seeing a new chapter/new story alert and it's a tease saying we have to wait till MONDAY?!? *growling in frustration* LOL You're a meanie, you are. *waggling my forefinger at you now* Bad Le Rouret! ;)

eliza · 21 September 2005

Hooray!! I usually detest Mondays (it's the back to work thing) But now it may become one of my favorite days..Humm, maybe you should post a story EVERY Monday. Your fan, Eliza
