Very well done. I especially liked how the healer seemed repectful, even in the face of a difficult and (increasingly?) routine task.

I would have loved this even if I hadn't gotten a sneak peek. It's bracketed poetically, told elegantly, and tugs on the emotions without walloping a reader over the head. Plus, it raises and answers canon questions about the Lindi, who I think are overlooked both in fandom and in Tolkien's own writing. You have such a delicate touch with these sensitive issues; this was a joy to read.

Lissa, I have to echo what the others have said! This is beautiful in every way. I love the carefully layered depth of compassion. Very well done.

SĂșlriel, you have taught me so much this past year. If this story is any good, then you and the gang at GoI are to thank for it.

Thank you! Smile smiley face
