I was really enjoying this story.  I don't know if you are still on the web and writing, but I would love to read this story to completion. 

Thanks.

Oh please, continue!

It´s a good story with fine characters.

 Happy, happy sigh!

Wonderful story and you have such a sweet way with Estel and his "gang".

I saw that this was published some years ago, but I have waited so long for someone to write this ending. I didn´t dare to write it myself because I thought people would think it was silly that they would all reunite in the end ("I don´t think Tolkien intended it to be so" etc. etc.) but it isn´t silly. I´m glad I´m not alone to want a happy end! :)

I suppose there´s no great reason to give critisism on such an old piece (at least not judging by how much I have developed in only a few years) but it´s great. You´re an awesome writer. Truly a heart-warming story, but still without feeling too happy; it fits with what Tolkien wrote. Thank you for giving me the end I hoped for! :)

*sniff!* You made me cry!  Lovely ficlet!

This is so beautiful. I presume this is the time after the last battle (Dagor Dagoroth), when all Children of Iluvatar (and those who are not) meet again?

I like it, that you did not try to explain where they came and what it looked like, because that would have taken a lot of magic from the story.

this is the most touching story ive read in ages !!!!!! i desperately wanted to go and play with them too!!!! thanks so much for sharing it with us !!!

Ah, what a wonderful end! I just knew you would not let Legolas leave - even if you tried to fool us all with that evil chapter:) I like the idea that the pull of friendship is just as strong (if not stronger) than the pull of the sea. It's an interesting concept and probably the reason why Legolas made that promise to his friends in the first place. Because he knew he would not find peace in Valinor as long as he knew he was leaving someone behind.

And you wanted to hear my opinion on the Eowyn/Thranduil scene? That's actually easy, because it was one of my favourites in the whole story. It's very telling that you had Eowyn throw all those "accusations" at Thranduil. Someone *had* to do it at one point or other. This one time being a woman probably worked in her favour. I do not think Aragorn (or another male) could have said those things to Thranduil and gotten away with it. And of course, she's always been one of my favourite characters:)

Now, one request: MORE! 

Alright, I admit to feeling a little fluffy. But only a little. You managed to put Legolas through the wringer in a most perfect manner. And did I ever tell you that I like amnesia-stories? I think we even called a search for amnesia fics on AA once:)

Though, so much is still unresolved. Legolas seems to have a sense of who he is, but he can't remember. At the rate he's going right now memory might come back quicker that everyone anticipates, but maybe he will still question the choices he did in the past - especially concerning Valinor.

And what about his father? You write him as a convincing three-dimensional character where a lot of writers only make him the cliched badass who isn't able to love. So I'm actually looking forward to seeing his own resolution of "Never Again" come into fruition. He seems to try, but it's also much easier to simply blame Legolas' friends.

Coming back tomorrow (if I don't spend my evening with the second season of Twin Peaks, that is *g*)!
