I can't believe I just found this story! Love it!

Awwwwh, this was awesome!

Apart from a few grammatical errors, I really enjoyed this. Good job.:)

Oh, oh, oh! I absolutely loved this! It was much longer than I expected, too, which was a lovely bonus!

I loved how you wrote Thranduil and his speech, as well as Bard's dual hardness and uncertainty. Their names were a bit over-used in the beginning, but it evened out quickly and other than that, there wasn't a thing I didn't like. I really enjoyed the conversation towards the end, especially Thranduil's "I won't beg."

I would loooove to read more of these two from you! :D There is never enough Thranduil/Bard!

Rather good if a bit short and, well, surfacey (inventing new words due to shallow being too loaded), I didn't get under the characters' skin as much as I personally would've liked. (Being an emotional reader I "absorb" the feeling of what I read but it also makes me a bit picky)
However: at the start you used their names A LOT. That much repetition of a word tends to get a bit much and draws attention from the story in my experience and to be frank it bothered me. I know that you can write better so I'm wondering if perhaps it was your insecurities regarding the pairing (and maybe not knowing "your" version of them inside out as well as you know your Wolfstar?) that distracted you from the sentence building?

And I'm babbling. Sorry 3

I really liked this! I think it came out really well. Thrandy was in character IMO with the way he manipulated the situation to get Bard to basically come home with him lol. Looking forward to more of this pairing in the future. :)
