From pittwitch on August 13, 2016
You write Erestor so masterfully. I confess I am enthralled and enchanted by this tale! The academic side of me looks forward to the study of the twins' responses! Thanks for sharing! PW
Thank you so much pittwitch!

Enthralled and enchanted is good! I think that's pretty much how Elladan feels right now, lol. Erestor will add to his notes on the comparison between the twins, but it involves a lot of practical work before any conclusions can be reached. It's a sure bet he won't be presenting his completed study to Elrond.
The truth will come out soon, then things will get interesting.
I promise Elrond will never get mixed up in this... he's got enough on handling the Mirkwood boys

I'm quite sure I've not read anything as lovely as Elladan's submission. I had not expected him to be quite so compliant, or so sublime in his surrender, but he was a treasure, just as Erestor said.
Now, I must admit to quite a pang when Erestor was reminded of the deception Elohir and Elladan are perpetrating. I had gotten so nicely caught up in the lovely interaction between Elladan and Erestor, and was actually happy that Erestor had found somethng precious with Elladan. I hadn't expected to feel so strongly for Erestor. Kudos to you both for bringing me around, after all my grumblings over Erestor's appearance elsewhere.
Now I'll just have to hold my breath until Elrohir's appearance. That should prove entertaining!
Oh, Elladan. He belongs to Erestor now, and I'm quite sure that if he thought that Erestor would keep him on, he'd have confessed to the deception in a heartbeat. Erestor is wrong there. It's not his loyalty to his brother that kept him quiet, but his fear of losing this new and exciting thing - his submission to Erestor.
Erestor really doesn't deserve the lie the twins are perpetuating, and I suspect that when he the truth does come out (and it will soon), he'll have things to teach the twins about respect for others. He'll take some time over this. It will be a long and involved lesson for the both of them, seeing as Erestor isn't the first lover they've done this to. Erestor will be sure to improve them. Despite his harsh, stern and unyielding manner, he's kind of good at getting the best out of people

Elrohir is up next, and it's here the real differences between the twins start to become apparent.
Thank you so much for your lovely reviews of our stories! You're so insightful with your comments, and it makes for amazing feedback.

Oh, this was a treat indeed! Legolas was superb, completely delicious as he took command of Thranduil. I was astonished at how Thranduil fought, though. I'd have thought he would welcome Legolas taking Erestor's place. It was what he did hint at, after all. But perhaps it is indeed part of the game to resist, as least for Thranduil.
I have a suspicion Erestor is more impressed than he would admit by both Legolas' submission and by Legolas' control over Thranduil. And yes, it had to be a bittersweet moment for Erestor to realize that Thranduil will never give to Erestor what he would give to Legolas. It made me feel sympathy for Erestor, something I did not expect in the course of this tale.
A lovely chapter indeed, and I'm going to look forward to seeing what lies ahead. You're marvelous!
Thank you Bronx!

I'm glad you liked it! If Thranduil had any lingering doubt that Legolas could overcome him, I think that question has been answered now, to everyone's satisfaction. I can't help thinking Thranduil is pleased as punch lol.
Erestor has plenty of fun waiting for him in Imladris - don't feel too sorry for him
But in the end it was always going to be that way, because Erestor could not give Thranduil what Legolas does. But I'm glad after all the drama of his arrival, we've managed to show him in a more sympathetic light.Legolas is nowhere near the bottom of the rabbit hole yet... he's going to have his eyes opened as to what it means to possess Thranduil. But Erestor will show him... Glad you're enjoying it!

Galion is beyond intriguing. I wonder... is he one of the Ainur, existing long before the elves were awoken by the Valar? He certainly makes me think ot them, so ancient he must be to ponder turning to stone.
I can almost pity Legolas, having gained Galion's attentions. Legolas can provide the spice Galion needs, indeed, but I'm not sure Legolas is ready to play with so ancient a manipulator as the lovely Galion. And yes, this could have gotten quite dark, as you said. That would have been a pity. On the other hand, Galion cares for Thranduil so much, and so well. I'm glad he's there to watch over Orophorion as tenerly as he does.
I love when I'm left with as many questions as answers, and I'll hope that the Galion muse deigns to visit again. Just superbly done, as always!
Thank you so much!

Now, see, when people ask questions I feel an instant need to answer them! *tries to resist*
Okay... I have to say these things.
1. Galion is not Ainur. He is not that old, though I do see him as one of the early generations born after the elves' awakening. He might well remember the dark. He's definitely stopped counting the centuries.
2. Teleri. Some of them halted in the great journey at the misty mountains and did not go further.
3. Without knowledge or guidance, perhaps a tribe of forgotten elves might have followed the same path as those monks of Tibet who ate less and less until they preserved their own flesh for all time. It would seem to those who watched as if the elves concerned simply 'turned to stone.'
4. Especially if all of this were happening in the frozen wastes of Forodwaith north of the blue mountains. That tribe may have been forced/wiped out when dragons retreated there after the first age.
5. Taking into account all of the above, I would guess that Angband's proximity before then meant that elves were often 'picked off' by Melkor if they went wandering too far alone. Only to return as orcs to attack their former friends/relations. It would have been quite a dark life, but a very close and guarded community. Their population would have have been controlled by Melkor (perhaps deliberately... he might have seen them as 'livestock') so that they never drew the attention of the wider world and were forgotten. Perhaps the men of Forodwaith had legends of elves who dwelt in the icy wastes.
6. If Elrond has been reading a book he's never seen before, full of stories of the Teleri, then the source of those stories must be extant in Thranduil's realm. I imagine it was quite easy for Galion to swear the scribe whom he made use of to keep his silence.
Dammit... I can't resist anything. Galion will be back, but in The Teacher, where he has a small but important part to play. Unless I feel compelled to write his story in full at some point. His life is really quite interesting.
*is terrible at secrets and mystery*
Thank you for your review Bronx! I'm really glad you like Galion

Chapter Twenty-three - Legolas' lessons begin. I don't think Thranduil was expecting it!

From Joyeuse on August 12, 2016
Legolas is walking on a narrow ridge between the devotion and love for his father and the seduction and enticement embodied by Erestor, and it is delightful to see how he is slipping from it to both sides.
It seems that Legolas is just a little restrained by guilt. I wonder if he will be able to surrender completly to Erestor, without the reassurance given by his father. I hope so!
Waiting for the next chapter...
Thank you for sharing this story!
Thank you so much Joyeuse!

How can Legolas resist either of them? He will feel a lot more/less guilty soon. Erestor is going to begin teaching him properly. And that will be fun for all of them (believe it or not).
I hope you enjoy the new chapter

Your reviews are awesome

Ok... what will Erestor do to Elladan?
-
From Joyeuse on August 12, 2016
I am enjoying this story very much.
Elladan, so sweet and so eager to please Erestor. Elrohir not so eager as his brother is, just by now... I guess he will be soon. Erestor, wicked and absolutely irresistible. I love that character.
The last two chapters were simply wonderful.
I am awaiting the next chapter. Thank you!
Thank you Joyeuse!

I'm glad you're having fun along with us. This threesome is a great deal of fun to write, and it's so interesting to see how both Elladan and Elrohir respond to Erestor. I'm glad you like Erestor - we love him too!
Also loved seeing your comments this morning, so thank you again <3

From BronxWench on August 08, 2016
Such a beautiful chapter... beginning in darkness, progressing to the lovely threesome, so wicked and yet still somehow made innocent by their love, and ending with the passionate wonder of Elrond's love for CelebrÃan. The entire chapter was intoxicating, and the wonderful bits of humor in between were sublime. Thranduil's default position, indeed. So wicked, the King is, and how wonderful it was for Elrond to have his family back again.
Still, there's a lingering chill form Elrond's visions, and my heart aches.
Thank you Bronx!

There are a lot of parts to this chapter - I'm glad it works and doesn't just end up as a kind of jumbled mess (that was my fear). There are some nice Elrond/Cel bits coming up soon. I want a last chance to play with them, and I couldn't take that away from Elrond either. Poor sod.
Yes, the visions. I suspect these are going to get a little clearer for him as time goes on, but it's a good job he didn't see anything more immediate. He would not have been able to rest, and I suspect even Thranduil would not have been able to calm him.

So glad you liked it!

Chapter 44: If you read - enjoy!

From BronxWench on August 07, 2016
Ah, Legolas... he is beyond wonderful, isn't he? He is so responsive, and so obedient, but he needs to to be taken outside himself to truly enjoy it, and I wonder if he will ever be a truly submissive as Thranduil. Erestor is the consummate Master, however, and thanks to the insights I'm gleaning from your lovely "Taming the Twins" I can appreciate him much more now.
And that wicked tease aqt the end! Now I can't wait to see what morning will bring...
Thank you again Bronx!

Your reviews inspire us both so much...

This Legolas is just wonderful to write. TAFKAB and I are pretty sure he is only truly submissive for Thranduil. This story falls into three main sections; this middle section with Erestor is almost at an end (where we have written to), then Legolas will get to put his new knowledge into action. At least in my case, a lot of the story came into existence to do written justice to a drawing circulating the internet of Thranduil, chained up and marked, head bowed, with Legolas standing in front of him, dressed in his patrol gear. I thought that if TAFKAB and I were to collaborate, we ought to try for something special, hence Thrandolas. It's developed since then, but the idea of Legolas truly dominating Thranduil is still to come. Perhaps there will be a taste of things to come in the morning...

When we do finish with this story, we have a vague idea of a follow on fic from both this and Taming the Twins, wherein Legolas travels to Imladris for a more scholarly education. He will meet the twins in that story.

Erestor is both terrifying and irresistible in this chapter. He's also honest to a fault, as much as Elladan. He is quite honest in not promising Elladan love, but his caring might be crueler still. We'll have to see, won't we?
But the lovely Elladan is a natural submissive, so eager to please despite all his qualms and fears. I'm so enjoying this exposition, and yet part of me wondes what lies in wait for Elrohir. A very different thing, I should think...
You are wicked, and wonderful, and I adore you both!
Thank you Bronx!

Erestor is a very interesting character. He's very measured in everything he does. But he is terrifying and irresistible. I think the twins need him to some extent. His motives go beyond himself, which is an ideal quality not found in many. Whether he is cruel or not... he would probably say: "No cruelty without purpose."
Elladan is about to please him very much, which will leave Elrohir playing catch up. What lies in store for Elrohir is probably not for the faint of heart in terms of psychology. But we promise no sons of Elrond will be harmed in the writing of this story. Or at least, there won't be any lasting scars...

yay! My poor week is over! I got it from Amazon.

Agree with all - the cover is brilliant!

Thranduil finally shares.

Erestor learns a little more about Elladan...

Thank you, pittwitch! Glad you're enjoying it

She will... we've ordered her some bootlet things, designed for greyhound corns, so she'll be able to go out for walks in comfort. Well, I say 'we'.. I have my half to pay for those on friday. Poor week!
I also keep treating her with roast chicken breast. She hardly notices she's not in paradise.

We've been dog owners for my entire life. All our dogs have been rescued dogs, and we've had a few different breeds, and a mongrel or two. Right now we are three or four years into our first greyhound.
They are excellent dogs. Ex-racers haven't known much comfort/attention/love, so it takes about a year before they start having a personality of their own. They wait in front of doors for you to open them. They walk well on the lead, until their first sight of a domestic cat or squirrel, then they are at great pains to tell you that something else is there! They have no sense, and can't be let off lead unless it's a completely enclosed area. They don't need much exercise. They are extremely lazy. They are independent, but very affectionate. Greyhounds are not "velcro" dogs.
My own greyhound finds it difficult to keep weight on, particularly in the summer (a fight we are having at the moment). But this isn't true of all. I once saw a man outside the vets with a dog, and said to him: "Wow! Your dog looks like a greyhound, but much fatter." Embarrassed, he told me it was a greyhound, and he'd been overfeeding it on sausages. He said he couldn't resist its eyes when it was begging. Greyhounds are sight hounds, and they have big eyes that protrude from their heads. In the periphery of their vision, they can almost see behind them.
Now to the current surprising thing. Greyhounds get corns. I have never had any dog develop corns, but it's a greyhound thing, apparently. She started limping, and I thought she needed her claws cutting. Their claws do tend towards being quite long, including the quick, so that sometimes even the vet misjudges and we get a sudden yelp and blood all over the surgery floor.
So my job this week is to soften the corn on her front foot with the missing toe, and ready it to be hulled out by the vet on friday. Another surprising thing. It will come back. Greyhound corns cannot be cured. Even toe amputation as a last resort will only mean another corn on another pad. We will not defeat this, but we can surely make it comfortable for her to walk.

It would take longer, but I can imagine one of these drone things being used - in public - for that purpose, leading to a kind of fad or craze on a specific beach. So that people begin to turn up for the specific purpose of having sexual contact with a drone. Kind of like a phenomenon, like dogging. I could easily imagine that making the papers. It would inspire moral outrage, and also curiosity, feeding on itself.
Of course, that could also be used in the story as a kind of dilemma for the company, if the goings on at the beach have resulted in an increased customer base and associated revenue.

Erestor is just deliciously wicked. He plays the twins like a finely tuned orchestra, and they're utterly out of their league, poor young things.
I do love how completely self-aware Erestor is. He knows he's not an easy master, and I'm glad he made it clear to Elladan this will never be a two-way game. I couldn't imagine Erestor ever submitting, actually. But he is a completely delectable master. And won't Elladan have a good bit to tell Elrohir, never mind duplicating bruises? I don't Elrohir can pretend the submission Elladan offers, nor seek the same pain Elladan needs.
Thank you for a wonderful chapter!
Thank you again Bronx!

Hahaha... yes. I think the twins are beginning to appreciate that whatever Erestor knows (or doesn't know) they are not playing him. I think that's a bit of a wake up call. I suspect they've been able to play each and every one of their lovers up until this point. Oh, they need someone like Erestor.
Erestor knows himself very well indeed, and while he is strict and demanding, I suspect the twins are not in any danger whatsoever with him, despite what they may begin to think. He understands much more than they do about these things.
I hope you enjoy the next one. It's one of my favourites of the Taming the Twins story.

From BronxWench on July 21, 2016
I'm all but breathless, thanks to the cliffhanger on which we've been left. Whatever will Legolas find in Erestor's room? I have so many notions, and I do hope some of them come to pass.
Thranduil doesn't seem terribly chastened, does he? For all his punishmnt at Erestor's hands, I don't think the King of the Greenwood would have done a single thing differently. He's quite a handful, and it's clear Erestor hasn't kept him on a tight enough leash.
But Legolas... what a vision he is, and so very sweetly submissive. I wonder if he'll find the proper steel to be able to master Thranduil. He shows glimpses of it, but he doubts himself, and his worth still. Let's hope this evening lets him know how very precious he is.
Thank you, for an exquisite chapter!
Thank you Bronx!

Thranduil has been left to his own devices for a long time. Some of the reasons might become clear, either here or in Taming the Twins. But should everything work out, then Erestor will be leaving him in Legolas' hands... we shall see.
First, will Legolas be able to help getting himself into some kind of trouble? He is Thranduil's son, after all, lol.
At least the next chapter will soothe the last of the conflict between them, and let the three get on with some fun stuff. Yay!
