I keep re-reading these stories, because they're just so captivating. And I'm breathlessly awaiting the next installment, and hoping against hope that there will even be another installment.
My only criticism is that Legolas does not have the choice that Arwen, Elrond, Elladan and Elrohir have. Because of their ancestry they are allowed to choose to belong to the race of Men or Elves.
But otherwise, everything is so well-written and I am so addicted to it.
PLEASE give us more! I want to see how this resolves.

I love all of these and I want to book mark all of them as favorites. Sigh. Legolas seemed to take this madness a step further and think of her as a mate. 0.0 Woah! Still wanting to know what is driving these elves Buffy crazy. With all of them acting like that I imagine she wouldn't want to choose any of them thinking it was some kind of wonky love spell or something. I like your style of writing. I am so curious about what will come next. I wonder if she will find a way back or stay in ME? Either way please don't torture her forever ok? She has given up so much for the world that I want her to get a reward and find happiness. but I guess I am skipping to the end. I wouldn't want to do that. the journey is the entire point.
Only 1 thing I really don't get...was she running away or just letting the slayer loose a little or was she sleep running or what?
Thanks again Love it please continue.

I do love this series of ficlets/vignettes, I'm always happy to see them and I've just been rereading all the stories you've posted here. I love your sparse style, what is left unsaid, and what I'm left with to fill in on my own. I love that you don't talk down to us, you let us fill in the blanks, and my imagination runs wild whenever I read one of these. There's an element at which I want you to set up a series index, so I can bookmark it and have all of these in the same place. But with how much you leave to us to figure out, I'm even happier that you haven't (and the fact that you'd have to write an introduction wouldn't make me happy).
I want to hug Buffy. I want her to have Dawn and Willow and Giles to lean on. I want to hug the Elves -- and then hit them for what they're doing to her! I just... I love this.

I loved this. I love that you don't assume that all your readers are idiots, and that we are unable to work out which characters you are writing about (that you give us just enough details to work it out ourselves and no more than we actually need). I love that you seem to be able to write such realistic characters, including their thoughts and feelings in every story that you’ve written. And every time you post a new chapter I love the direction that you've taken the story in since it's completely unpredictable and original.
This is really brilliant writing, and I adore the way that you're writing the Lord of the Rings universe from many different perspectives. Please keep it up. I’m praying that this isn’t the end.

Very sad, but I loved this story. Buffy's ability to create such a hot, blinding need in everyone she meets is captivating. Yet, she does it without meaning to, and I think it was a relief that she was finally able to stop at least two of them from fighting, and tell them that she doesn't want either of them despite how desperately they crave her.
Thank you so much for updating. This was one of my favorites, I think.

It seems to me like Legolas.. Legolas and Elrohir fighting. But then again, there were allusions to the person being a half-elf.. I love how Buffy couldn't seem to find a way to express herself, 'no!', 'bad!', 'stupid!'. This is amazing. I wonder what's come over all these elves.. Did she mean to say that she is not choosing either of them? Beautiful beautiful beautiful.

You do an amazing thing with this story, creating very vivid scenes with intense emotions in quick one shots that feel a lot longer due to their richness than they really are. And you do a fabulous job of defining Buffy's conflicted emotions and troubles from an outside perspective, only looking at her as a foreigner through the eyes of the elves. I look forward, as always, to what you write next. Keep posting.
