Thank you so incredibly much! This was exquisite, the most delectable of treats. I love the ceremonial details included, relish the use of Celtic lore and ritual, as well as how beautifully these intermingle with the development of the characters. Elrohir's touching awkwardness was the perfect foil for Glorfindel's strength and confidence, though the addition of wise, lovelorn Erestor's perspective of the entire affair enhanced the proceedings tremendously. Even the OCs were sterling, as was the camaraderie between Glorfindel and Erestor, and also how you colored in the twins' relationship. I only wish I could read the further adventures of Elrohir and Glorfindel, since you have made the potential of a relationship between them and the dynamics in the House of Elrond *that* intriguing. But certainly I can conjure up a sequel in my dreams, for this beginning had everything I could have wished for.

What a sublime beginning to the holiday season! My best to you and yours, dear, and thanks again for giving me something to cherish.
