What a wondeful story and an excellent idea. Your OCs were believeable and very real, and I could seriously feel for them in that situation. It's nice to see a story focussing upon the 'unnamed' victims of the Fall of Gondolin and what they went through. Very Happy smiley face

I know I've read this one before... was it on ff.net? At any rate, it was still compelling on second read. Your Idril here is fantastic: strong, patient, realistic. As a writer, I might have been tempted to have Orniel allow herself to be convinced, to make some grand and generous show at the end. But you never make the easy narrative choices, which is one of the reasons your stories are all so thick and rich. You also write some of the best lines, like the one at the end here, from Idril.

It is a really nice piece, plain and simple.

A very good story. I just wonder what it was the Feanorians wanted in return for helping the refugees? To attack the people of Sirion and wrest the Silmaril from them? It is the only thing I can think of.

Nice, how Idril used Earendil to make her point. One day that baby will be glad of it's mother's sacrifice to keep the child alive.
