This was a rainy afternoon well spent! I can't say anything else except that your writing is simply amazing, and I could only wish to write with as much wonderful detail as you do. This was an involving epic, detailing the horrors of battle and the after affects, with a little bit of romance mingled in. All of your characters were exceptionally portrayed and how I would picture each of them. The relationship between Elrond and Celebrian was sweet without being too overdone.
I'm going to stop gushing for risk of embarassing myself ops:, and leave it at this. Wonderful! Will definitely be reading your other stuff, but as of now, I am a huge fan!
