Thank you so much, Bronx! I am writing this with the events from that little Melkor/Sauron fic in mind, so worse than being Sauron’s slave is being Melkor’s. I had a little plotbunny about Melkor’s having tried out all his torture technique’s on Sauron first, before using those techniques to turn elves into orcs. Sauron is genuinely surprised that Maglor hasn’t lost that light. His own has been missing for a long time. As to their games. This is going to turn around very slowly, but it will. Sauron already sees it, and he’s already thinking up ways to try and stave it off. But he’s going to fail in that. He does need Maglor, and it shifts the balance of power. Of course, Maglor is going to get quite far before it occurs to him that everything has changed. And while neither of them can afford for Maglor to lose his soul, can Maglor help himself?

Thank you so much, Bronx! Thranduil definitely finds Celeborn infuriating. Doesn't Celeborn know that NO ONE seduces King Thranduil, Master of all those he surveys? Even though Celeborn hasn't admitted to the reason for his visit, Thranduil senses it, and it does not please him. He's a handful, all right. Happily, as it turns out, Celeborn has large hands. I have no doubt Galion watched the whole spectacle progress with great interest. I must confess I'm very curious about what happened and what was said when he and Celeborn spoke. So curious in fact that I might have to write it. I'm glad you liked the sex scene. It's always difficult finding a balance as an author between the action, and getting across the emotional resonance you want it to hold. Plus, it takes so much to get Thranduil's character to participate in a scene like that I always worry I've failed him. But he's so sweet and almost vulnerable when he does it's worth all the effort. Thank you for your compliments! You really give my confidence a boost every time you review, and it's great to see your reactions and responses as a reader. I'm glad that you had a good time reading. *sighs happily*

Celeborn makes the first of many extracurricular visits to Eryn Galen, and Thranduil… Gold and Green Enjoy!

Thank you, Bronx I'm so glad you enjoy seeing them - I adore Elrond and Celebrian. It'll definitely feel like an ending when she leaves, since this fic has included the entire timeline of their relationship (even if there hasn't been a great deal of detail dedicated to them). As for Elrond and Thranduil... I've loved writing them throughout this too. They will continue, and there will be more Elronduil in the rest of the story. But the world has been changing, the watchful peace is ended, and with Celebrian's loss the next generation will come to the fore. We (and Elrond) will see much more of Legolas going forward. Will Elrond/Legolas reach the heights and depths of Elrond/Oropher or Elrond/Thranduil? I hope so...

Chapter 45: Half of this is (gasp!) het, and almost all of it is elf pornography. I couldn't break Elrond's heart with giving him a good time first now, could I?

Thank you so much, Joyeuse! We are glad to please you! The twins need Erestor, he is correct in that, but I don't think he's stopped to consider that he needs the twins. For all of his mastery and experience, Erestor leads a somewhat lonely life. He will come to understand. Erestor is too intelligent to hide the truth from himself forever *g* He is complex. He's unable to let go of these games and tricks of his, and other partners he has had are only curious for a while. They don't want any kind of forever. That's the impression I get, anyway. He does have some backstory with Thranduil and that will come out. Partway through this story he will leave to take his place in 'Prince in Training' and then we shall see him return. The relationship between himself and the twins will have settled somewhat before then. Again, thank you!

Thank you, Joyeuse! Much more to come, although there'll be more laughing and less intensity for the next little bit. Glad you enjoyed it!

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

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.

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!

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!

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? Chapter Six

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
