my heart... it hurts
why does it hurt so much ?

It was very refreshing to read a good fic with no romance, but all the feels. Amazing writing!

One of the things I found most compelling about this fic was Legolas' pure sincerity. Even when he was being not quite a good Elfling, there was this quality about him that told me he has this wholesome nobility about him and I liked that. Elrond was an absolute joy to read! Love that Elf-lord! Thranduil was... complicated. I felt for him, but I was also highly unhappy with him and his treatment of Legolas. He's a complex character, huh? But he is a loving, protective father, though and that shone through eventually. Cirhael... now he was difficult to know whether I liked or not. On the one hand he irritated me cuz of how he just doesn't seem to listen well to either Thranduil or Legolas, but I loved he adored and was there for his brother-in-law and his nephew. Loved this fic, though it broke my heart to read Legolas and Thranduil hurting so deeply.

If u were actually gonna kill I’m imma murder u

After I read the twins’ goodbyes I’m sobbing right now. Full on sobbing this is new to me I’ve never done this in my life. Ever

Okay this came too suddenly for my liking I’m currentl H

Okay author I am here today to wholeheartedly tell you that I respect you more than Peter Jackson. You were the only author to EVER make me cry while reading a book and you have my upmost respect and pledge myself to u.

Crying is soooooo fun in the mid of da night

Sup I’m crying again this is too sad

My mood has increased significantly

The Prince looked up, and drew the sleeve of his night-tunic across his eyes. "Ada will think less of me, and he is the only one that matters. I wouldn't care if the whole of Mirkwood saw me crying and thought that I was stupid, but Ada…I can't make him disappointed. Not again."

'When I see that Elf, I will…' Círhael let his thoughts trail into nothing. He had to remain calm for Legolas.

I have plenty of newfound respect for Círhael. DUDE JUST SMITE THAT IDIOT IN HIS FRICKIN FACE.

Sry if I’m a mood rn cause it’s two am and I can’t sleep

This chap made me cry even when I watched about a billion try not to cry vids and didn’t leak a single tear. Ur writing is amazing

I actually cried. Like cried! Tears, sniffles, mucus, and all. Why did this strike me in heart so much? Possibly because I absolutely adore Legolas, and quickly fell for Thranduil when he was first introduced. But the thought of little Legolas crying just doesn't sit right with me. I want to give him a huge! I've only read the first chapter, but I think this is really good so far!

I don’t comment often on stories I read, but yours I knew I had to. You’re an amazing writer and extremely talented. I cry often at sad thing as such with your story, but rare is it that I have to put a book down in order to catch my breath, do to my sobbing. Your description and rendering of the events froze and held my lungs with great sadness You were able to make me feel a great depth of emotion with your words, and you derserve the highest praise for it! I felt like I was there and experiencing the event in person and I cried desperately. I loved your story and the way you evoked so much emotion. I look forward to maybe one day seeing your skills in print of your own book on a shelf. But for now I’m overjoyed to continue to read what you have published here. Thank you for sharing your gift with us! And thank you for giving me such a wonderful story!

This was heartbreaking in so many ways, but when it finally drove me to tears they were happy tears. It was beautifully written and emotional at every line.
Thank you for your work, it was a terribly enjoyable read!
