*reads PG-13 and decides she'll probably not need a bucket full of ice-water for this fic* ;-)

*giggles at Legolas' sudden desire to unstring his bow* The "What does your heart tell you"-part was sweet. :) I liked both the slow convergence and the sudden attraction between them (though Legolas seems to have felt it for a longer time). Quiet and sweet and makes you want to read more. *hint hint* I also liked the details about Mirkwood and the growing darkness. I'm looking forward to see what will happen next! ;-)

P.S. Dou you know Eresse's Elrohir/Legolas stories? I told you I read slash from time to time, and most of it were her stories. *g* As I saw the pairing in your story I immediately had to wonder if you read her stories, too. ;-)

Thank you, sweets! Yes, I aimed for fluff rather than smut this time ^_^ Heheheee, I'm sure you recognised Aragorn's line from movie!ROTK.

OMG, I absolutely worship that woman! She's actually doing fanfic100 right now, which means more yumminess to come. She's on my flist, if you want to keep track of her latest stories ;-) Though she doesn't update very often.

Methinks I'll have to take a close look at your f-list... ;-)

Well, your fluff is just as good as your smut. ^_~ And yes, I recognized the line, lol.

Aw, thanks hun! *huggles*

Ahhhhh, what a wonderous out-take from a WIP that I'm now dying to read. *grins* I saw where you had asked for a beta for it, and though I usually decline beta work, I'd be happy to do it for you, if you have trouble finding someone else. *wink*

*Mwah*

Thank you, hun! I wrote it then revised my characters, so that the scene didn't fit in anywhere anymore. I felt it would be a waste to just get rid of it, so changed it a bit to include a quote from 50 Passages.

and though I usually decline beta work
Then I am very honoured to have you wlling to beta my stuff :-) *hugs* Thank you very much for the offer, though Anorielle has kindly volounteered. It would be great to have more than one beta, though, as I love discussing stuff, and in my experience things go along faster if you're not just depending on one person. I don't want to take up too much of your time, though, so it's up to you how much you want to do. I have a semi-beta for one of my gen stories who just reads through a chapter and gives her honest response to it. It's very helpful, especially because those who focus on the technical details often overlook the overall feel of the piece as a whole.

Anyway, I hope you're still interested, just tell me how much you'd like to do. In any case, I am very grateful for the offer :-)

Since the wonderful Anorielle has so graciously offered to beta, I think I'd rather not potentially step on her toes by sharing the beta-ing duties as usual. However, the way that your semi-beta has been doing your general stories sounds just fine with me on this one dear. I have no problem with reading the chapters, offering insights, suggestions, feedback, etc. In fact, I would greatly like to do so. *hugs* Just let me know when you need me to, and give me a day or two at least to look a chapter over. *smiles*

*Mwah*
