I do love a non-standard Glorfindel! And I think Erestor is another example of why you should be careful of the little ones! ;)

measure of kindness too...and there is real gentle humour in the unexpected
nature of the 'hero' who sounds as though he could shake up his hosts in ways
they really don't expect. *g*

Just one example of the many lines that had me chuckling in the dark as I read through this. I knew, when I saw you had written a tale, that I had to carve out the time to read it because I adore your writing. I was NOT disappointed, rather I was totally validated in my long-standing enjoyment of your wit and ability to sling words onto a virtual page. Bravo.
The characterization of all concerned rang so true, even though they were quite different than the long-held formulations of characters. Even Gil-Galad who often comes off as wooden and shallow in most stories had depth in yours. I love the various sharing of desserts, the fact that Erestor found the nest of cushions, and his comments about the bed only being wide enough for one-and-a-half elves.
You nailed it, and I loved reading it.
