This was a wonderfully written conclusion that I really enjoyed, but, because I believe in giving advice to people in reviews (it drives some crazy) I would say use something other than "once he recovered" in the seventh paragraph.

Sorry for the delay in responding. Thank you. I'm glad you liked the conclusion to this story. I don't mind constructive criticism at all. I'll go and reread what you suggested. If I agree, I'll change it.

A wonderful look at the two of them and the best way in which to deal with this malady, and the interactions between these two long-time friends.
Author's reply
It was my intention to demonstrate the depth of their friendship, in this case using the sea longing. I believe it did, as much, if not more, than any h/c story I could write. I'm glad that you liked it.

A very thoughtful, sombre take on Legolas' sea-longing. I liked the idea that Legolas could be so absorbed in the sea-longing that he couldn't even hear Aragorn speaking to him and I thought that Legolas' description of how the sea calls to him was beautiful: "It weaves its melody into the rhythm of my heartbeat."

I think it's hard to talk about the sea longing and not have a level of somberness in it. I wanted it to be both haunting and spellbinding for Legolas, so it would drown out all other sights, sounds and feelings. I'm glad you liked the way I described it. That's one of my favorite lines and, to me, sums it all up. :o)

Alas--the Sea Longing when it hits apparently can be very painful. And this secret garden sounds wonderful!
Author's reply
I totally agree. Yearning for something that takes over your whole being and that you are forcing yourself to deny, has got be painful. Glad you liked my garden. I wanted it to an oasis for the ones using it.

I haven't seen any annoying out-of-place words in this. Even the dialogue fits, which isn't very common. Anyway, all in all I liked the tone and the plot. Good work!

Well, that's good to hear.:o) I'm glad you like the dialogue, which is one of the tings I try hard to do well. I'm also glad you like the story so far.
