You are truly an awesome writer, it is incredible how wonderful you write. It conveys the feelings of the characters so well! In fact, because the way you write is so beautiful, I somehow find myself reading your stories much more slowly than I usually read in order not to miss any words :)

I enjoy how carefully thought out every word, every piece of dialogue is. So little is said between the two, yet there is so much hidden innuendo that they both silently understand.

I felt about halfway through a little confused as to how quickly Estel came onto Legolas, however when I thought about it more, being in their situations and considering the amount of time that had passed from part I to IV, I'd imagine all of that secret longing they have for eachother weighs heavily. Once there is an opportunity and if one is feeling bold enough to act, well.. sometimes things happen. I loved the bit of dialogue between the two about mortalsl. Another prime example of how you write with such an insane amount of purpose. I just love this little series so much!

On to the next one!

It's a bit sad you stopped updating. Maybe you don't have the time to write more. I understand :) but it's still sad. I really love the way you write.

And I see them making steps towards each other, finally! Yes, that's what you two should do, so you Legolas - return quickly, and you Estel - remember where your true feelings are show Legolas with every step he means so much to you!

When you wrote this about a mortal being in love with an elf and added a mention about our beautiful Arwen, for a tiny second I had doubts - was Estel talking about Arwen or Legolas? You like to keep your readers in uncertainty, just like it was in "The Coldest Winter." But hopefully the one is male.

I liked the scene in Legolas room so very much it was simple, perfect moment, all obvious, without trace of worry and unspoiled with lust. Just like it should be.

Write more soon, we are all waiting for that long anticipated new story of yours...

Grey Pigeon

oh.

mai.

gawd.

geale, you are amazing. seriously. you'd probably love it if i reviewed each of the stories, but i think i'm just going to do one long review here and hope that i don't overdo it words wise. (i know its possible but i've never achieved it, but we'll see.)

maybe i'm just in a heartstrings mood, having just fallen in love for the first time, but this entire series just tugs and pulls and i can't help but groan with the sad bits and shake my head and feel horrendous and then giggle and laugh and saw "aw" like the fangirl that i am at the good and sweet and cute and allthatjazz bits.

(i might add that no matter the emotion for the bits, each one is AMAZING.)

i love the way the titles/stories relate to a sense. so far seeing, hearing, feeling. (with legolas' interlude as well). i dont know if you'll continue with smelling and tasting, but makes sense to me. i dont know.

anywho, a few questions? im confused about the time frame-wouldn't the time frame make aragorn a good eighty-some years old during the War of the Ring? i mean, i know he's not young, but i don't recall him being eightysomething? maybe you're using years that i don't recognize? maybe its just a time frame thing? maybe i'm just crazy? does aragorn become part elf or something?

i dont know. seventy years seems like a LONG time.

but thats not important.

lets see: seeing you, my favorite part was probably (and this is totally unrelated) seeing the ACCENT ON "EL". how do you do that? do you use openoffice to make everything show up?

actually, i lied, my favorite part of that first is your use of the italics of thought/dream when "he" (aragorn) becomes "you".

or maybe the fact that i realize that legolas never heard his voice. and then i discover that the next chapter/story/installment thing is called "hearing" you. brilliance!

next:

hearing you.

probably that first aragorn says "elo" and then legolas runs into him and says "elo" as well. its cute and sweet and brilliant all at the same time. thats clever.

as for the interlude of "i drench..." gory but well-written gore, gore to show legolas' regret/horrendous feelings as opposed to using gore for only shock value.

gore for shock value is kind of annoyed. plus using legolas' regret/fear/pain and then tying it all back to aragorn in the way you did is a neat way to slash two characters without having one of them even "physically" enter the story.

and, this one, feeling you.

well, choosing is hard. mo. either the really slow but awesome and pretty original glove-pulling-off-hand-reaching-scene-bit was great, but also the fact that they spoon when they sleep (like all good slash couples should!), that aragorn spoons around legalos (not sure why thats a big deal for me, but whatever), that they wrap their arms around each other (or aragorn around legalos' waist), and lastly, but certainly NOT leastly, the beginning of this chapter, with legolas freaking out about aragorn looking at him because he feels so regretful and disgusting for his killings in the forest at home. all that was great.

oh, i completely forget aragorn fleeing from legolas' room. that was amazing and heartjerking too!

all and all, a well loved series, which i hope (and assume) will be continued in the not too near distant future!

also, this is a general love: i love that for the ones that arent the interlude, you begin with legolas riding El, and you describe how the ground feels beneath El's hooves.

yeah.

so i didnt get anywhere close to breaking the review-length limit. but this is still a pretty long review and you're still pretty awesome! you seriously deserve a favoriting!

thank you for your brilliance. it made me smile even more so than i already am. : D

okay. long crazy rant over. : D

I enjoyed this. Bravo!

I just about fainted where I sat! It's so beautiful, and sad, and then beautiful again... And poor Legolas!

The third one was so teasing, I would have been completely tormented if I'd had to wait between the two, but I didn't.

And did I mention how beautiful it was? Oh my God, I love this!

Wonderful. I wouldn't have thought Elrond would encourage a relationship between them. Accept it, yes, but encourage? In canon, he does not like that Aragorn and Arwen are in love. I know Arwen is his daughter and naturally he is more protective of her, but still. Anyway, it was a very sweet scene and I'm very pleased with his encouragement, even if I would not have seen it coming.

i admire your brilent work. that is truly astanising. how, if i may ask did, you become such a wonderis writer? never have i read shuch a wonderful story thas so in dep! i hope you countinue writing it would be so painful not being to read your story. if you dont mind i am gonin to qaot it at school.(im sorry for the horible spelling)

Oh mon dieu.

Alright. Before I go on screaming for a few hours in total ecstasy and excitement because you posted this today, let me just be a professional for two seconds and tell you what I thought about it.

First of all, I loved it. (How can you imagine that I ever didnt?) Really, I did. I'm not trying to make you feel better if you dont like this chapter or anything. I really REALLY love it.

Second, at first when I was reading it, cripplingly slowly, per usual, to take it all in, (which is why its taken me forever to review), when Legolas was being angsty and he wouldn't even look at Estel, I was just thinking, "No way. NO way. He is NOT going to do a BREAKER-UPPY!" They were not even really together, but still. In their hearts they are. Anyways. YEAH. I was SO scared, I thought Legolas would just push Estel away and be like, "Nah, I dont want you anymore" especially since Elrond was being all cryptic and basically shouting, "THINGS WILL CHANGE, CHANGE CHANGE!" Hahaha. But yeah. I shiz my pants.

Third, I took this one slightly more serious that the others cus everything Legolas was thinking was DEATH! and so I steeled myself for a really big change in their relationship. Well, THANK YOU for scaring me, you did a humongo fantastic job at that..! Hahaha..

Fourth, I nearly handicapped my legs by squeezing them so tightly in anxiety-Legolas was leaving in a few days so I thought nothing would happen between him and Estel. But phew! IT DID. *GRINS WIDELY* ..*ON THE BRINK OF HYSTERIA*

Fifth, I love the whole meadow-ish/clearing type thing that has become significant to them. So sweet. And they had their first kiss there. And they first touched. Hence the FEELING YOU, title, *drools*.

Sixth, the ending was DEFINITELY my favorite. They finally had alone time. And I was really surprised when Estel asked if he could sleep over. I had basically been FANTASIZING THAT FOR MY WHOLE LIFE AND *BEYOND*, you dont know how much that part just got me EXCITED and totally WHACKO at the same time! And then the touching hair part. *faints* So old-fashioned, so brilliant, so intimate, so innocent, wow. YOU JUST KILL ME WITH LOVEE! DD

Seventh, Estel "spooning" around Legolas's body and just wrapping himself around the elf. *dies fifty times* *comes back* *reads part again* *dies some more* *process repeats forever*

AAHH! AAHH! AHH! AAH! AHHAHH! *spasmodic*

Thats just soo wonderful. I think it was the best ending for this part of the story. (You ARE going to write a sequel? NOT NOW, I MEAN, I KNOW YOUR TIRED, SO YOU CAN TAKE A LONG BREAK N ALL, BUT..*lower lip wobbles* please? ILOVEYOUPLUSTHISSTORYY!)

The angsty beginning Estelhappy ending. AWWNESS! Beautiful. And okay, I know I am being the EPITOME of greedy, me being my greedy little self, y'know..wanting more..when this could be the very very end of the story..*tear*..I just realized that this could be the way you imagined ending the series, and that you dont plan on writing..*twitches* ..more.

And if thats the way you imagined it, then I cant imagine what would come next, then. When will they next meet? What will be the nature of their relationship? Will it ever be relaxed like it first was or tense with the war and battles coming up? So yeah. I have taken that into mind. So I totally understand if you're not gonna write this story anymore. *hides behind pillow and hyperventilates*. Totally okay. LOL.

BUT. You must make a compromise with me. Because I'm TOO HUMAN, and WAYY TOO GREEDY. Just deadly greedy. So IF and IFF you are not continuing this story..our compromise should be..you writing NEW ONES, lmao. A new story. Can be of whatever you like. But. More *claws at you like starving person in desert*.

Ahem. Cough. I shall be normal now. I realize that in the paragraphs above I was extremely freaky and creepy and gollum-y-BUT I CANT HELP IT YOU BRING IT OUT IN ME, DARN YOU, AWESOMELY GOOD WRITER!

I just wanna thank you for posting this. So am gonna log off and scream into an anonymous review.

Just watch me, Marshmallow.

~BGE ;)
