This is a great tale about Legolas-Aragorn-friendship. Action-filled, angst-filled... and it touches on many interesting themes: loyalty, hope, continuing not for own sake but for the other's... Emotionally I was most touched by the scene when Legolas can not believe it it truly Aragorn who has come for him, who is saving him from the orcs. But their long and difficult flight, how they care for each other, the almost sacrifices and all that were great also. Again I love how you portray Legolas' special connection with the trees; and the importance of his bow. Oh, and something else I like very much about your story is a certain balance in hurts they have to suffer. It shows them as equals, despite their different strenghts. I'll have to check out your other stories again I think, to catch up on the hints you left in this tale :-). Author's Response: I'm very glad you enjoyed my first long story! I wanted to write a story that was almost solely about friendship and survival, and all the various themes connected with both. I really like that scene where Legolas is not sure if Aragorn is real, too - after what Legolas had been through, I just thought it would have been too easy to have him accept that Aragorn is alive and about to free him right away. The special talents Legolas has as a wood-elf have always fascinated me. :) I often like to give both of them their share of angst and injuries, because I want to portray them as equals. I probably tend a bit more to writing elf angst, but I love the ranger too much to risk making him feel neglected. g Hehe, I hope you enjoy them! Thank you so much for your review! :) Tinu

Okay, I've got my oreos and I've got my comfy blanket (damn, it's cold in here), so I'm all set to finally jump into this story.

You don't waste any time, do you? Poor Legolas, you don't give him a breather. Now, how did he end up there? And where is Aragorn? That little allusion further up doesn't bode well. Were they together and the orcs left him for dead? Inquiring minds want to know!

Now, before I read on, I fear I have to feed the cat. He insists.

Author's Response:
Yay, lots of reviews in my inbox! :D I thought it might have been you when I saw that they all came from NAN. ;-) I have to say reading them put a big smile on my face - I love your sense of humour! *g* Now on to the replies.
It's cold here, too - I like to sit close to my heater huddled in my blanket while reading, at least when I don't have to do it at the computer. ;-)
Why waste time when I can torment elves and rangers instead? *eg* I thought I would try starting a story at the worst point for a change. Aragorn is definitely noticeably absent, which usually doesn't mean anything good. Actually, you were quite close to the truth with your guess, but I think you know that by now.
LOL - first things first! Pets can be insistent, can't they? :D Thank you so much for your review! :)
