Thanks! I know I have him sail in my own verse, but I can totally see him staying as well. :)

And I, for one, am glad he did stay!
Author's reply
Me too! :) Thanks
Larner · 10 July 2014 · Chapter 26: Great Effort - Thranduil
I bet it was with great effort, but in the end it worked for the best anyway. Heh! Having to deal with this Dwarf is still better than if Legolas had come home with a pet giant spider or an orc for a friend, I suspect!
Author's reply
LOL! Actually, Legolas HAS brought home a pet spider in another series. ;P Still, Thranduil will be better for accepting the dwarf. Who knows? They might even become friends... ;) Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Aahhh, the bane of ever parent, the day your adult child comes home with some one you may not totally approve of. LOL. not sure if it is the person you don't like or the realization that you really don't have the power to pick and choose their friends. lol, because of course you could do a better job of it. ***sighs*** My deepest empathy for Tranduil
Author's reply
LOL! Thanks for reading!
Raksha The Demon · 7 July 2014 · Chapter 4: Discordant Symphony - Sauron
Interesting take on Mairon's choice to join Melkor. Music can express so much; and it can also seduce. Melkor's sophistication could have been a powerful draw against the lure of the other Valar's purity. I like this piece very much.

Thank you!
Larner · 4 July 2014 · Chapter 25: A Blink In Time - Elrohir
Too bad he didn't linger long enough to learn more of her and of the attraction he's enjoyed to her.
Author's reply
Thanks for reading!
Larner · 4 July 2014 · Chapter 24: A Marvelous Day - Legolas
A worthy pursuit, this. I hope that she is as joyful to receive such tribute as he is to give it.
Author's reply
Of course she was! :) Thank you!
Larner · 4 July 2014 · Chapter 23: Dance of Steel - Glorfindel & Erestor
One needs a truly skilled opponent to truly enjoy any contest, I think! Heh! Sounds deadly exciting.
Author's reply
Agreed! Thanks!
Larner · 4 July 2014 · Chapter 22: Brink Of The Sea - Legolas
Oh, just the perfect riposte there! Hehehehe! Love Legolas's ability to think on his feet!
Author's reply
Thanks!
Larner · 4 July 2014 · Chapter 21: Treasured Moments - Aragorn
And such moments make all that came before the more precious and blessed due to the end to which they brought the two of them.
Author's reply
Thank you!
shirebound · 4 July 2014 · Chapter 22: Brink Of The Sea - Legolas
that foreign outlook had once again brought him back from the brink of the Sea. What a fascinating and insightful idea that this friendship was more necessary to Legolas than we might have guessed.
Author's reply
Thank you!
shirebound · 4 July 2014 · Chapter 21: Treasured Moments - Aragorn
The world faded. The past flickered. All they had was the moment. So true. What a well-deserved happily ever after.
Author's reply
Thank you!
Larner · 29 June 2014 · Chapter 19: Distant Trees Of Home - Legolas
Well worth the wait. How this type of goodbye is so common to so many of us. A new life, eventually to be followed by still another, now awaits discovery.
Author's reply
Thank you!
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 20: Wicked - Aragorn & Arwen
A good hunt indeed, and such worthy prey!
Author's reply
:) Thanks for reading!
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 19: Distant Trees Of Home - Legolas
This one did not properly transfer, Nieriel Raina.
Author's reply
Fixed! Thanks for the heads up!
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 18: Night Vigil - Legolas
It's not only the fathers who wait--and wait--on such occasions, obviously!
Author's reply
I imagine being childless at this point in time, Legolas eagerly awaited that baby! :) Thanks for reading!
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 17: Master Of Imladris - Elrond
Oh, but I like this very much! Love it, in fact!
Author's reply
Thank you! This one was fun. :)
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 16: Observation - Haldir
Poor Haldir--faced with these gormless ones he must have felt totally overwhelmed!
Author's reply
Right!?!? :) Thanks for reading!
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 15: Reunited - Bill The Pony
At least both he and Sam knew the joy and satisfaction of that reunion! Excellent!
Author's reply
Exactly! Thanks!
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 14: Changed - Gimli
Well, that's telling them, if only within the privacy of his own mind!
Author's reply
I don't think he'd have any problem speaking it out loud either. :p Thanks for reading!
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 13: Unexpected Trek - Auros (OC)
Oh, but it's fun to see these characters again! Heh! Yes, a couple of visitors to deal with most carefully.
Author's reply
Thanks! I look forward to working with them more in the future. :)
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 12: Barrelling Out Of Mirkwood - Galion
In this case perhaps retreat is the better part of valor! I'd not thought of this response to the situation, but I had to laugh to consider it! Well done!
Author's reply
Thank you! I don't imagine sticking around would have been a good idea. ;P
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 11: Heritage - Eldarion
He was truly properly named, after all! Excellent means of expressing his contempt for their judgment!
Author's reply
He is quite a character. I look forward to exploring him more. :) Thanks for reading!
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 10: Imminent Defeat - Théoden
Only through the act of defiance is there any hope of any other end, as he learned. Well depicted!
Author's reply
Thank you! :)
Larner · 28 June 2014 · Chapter 9: Unbearable Parting - Legolas
A difficult truth to grasp for one intended to remain within the Bounds of Arda to the end!
Author's reply
Indeed! Thanks for reading!
