Well, it might not have been quite under the three hours, but it was all written in one evening. I wrote the first section between about 6 and 7 last night, went away to do other things like watch a video, go shopping and eat, and then came back to it around midnight, finishing it around 2 - so it might have been about 3 and a half or so hours of actual sitting and writing, but with a big gap in the middle.
The first section I knew what I wanted to do, although the rather aloof Legolas was an accident - he just evolved into that naturally, although I think I'd be tempted to smack him one if I were Aragorn.
The storm running throughout was also not my original intention. I wanted the storm in the first meeting, to throw them together, and it just developed from there. I'm not actually certain that there really was a storm - it may be completely metaphorical. Deep, huh?
Anyway, glad you lliked it. Sorry I made you cry. I really am incapable of writing happy LotR fics. My only two cheerful A/L stories were both set in an AU, but in the canon universe I just can't make them happy together.
And yes, it is rather easy to read this as slash - especially the end of the first section - just what did those boys do to keep warm in that cave all night? And this Legolas is clearly a slut.
