[dawn_felagund]

I am two days early, but since I am currently staring down a monster of a busy weekend, here goes....

Happy Birthday, Unsung Heroine!!!I hope that all of your wishes come true, on this day and all others! I send you many virtual hugs and wish you many pretty Elves that magically speak and shut up just when you want them to

Oh my god! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! *jumps up and down in glee* (Can you tell I'm ecstatic?)

And you wrote my name in pink!! It may absolutely spoil my reputation but the girl in me likes pink very, very much. ;) (Caranthir says it's amazing what little it takes to make me happy...)

And it might amuse you to know that--the other day--I was telling Bobby that I had a story to post for my online friend, Unsung Heroin.

Don't worry. It happened to me before. Like, when I wrote it myself. ;)

Now, a little bird told me that you like Haleth and Caranthir, and you like even better the "Interspecies Love Song" that occurs when they are together.

Shit, how'd you know? I though I'd concealed it so well... ;)

It's Haleth/Caranthir versus Caranthir/Haleth because we all know that Haleth was definitely on top!Haha. I bet she was. :-P

[dawn_felagund]

You're very welcome! :^D I'm glad that you liked it!

And you wrote my name in pink!! It may absolutely spoil my reputation but the girl in me likes pink very, very much. ;)

Hehe! Yes, everyone gets a story and an annoying marquee; it's my modus operandi for birthdays! ;) It's supposed to be violet, but on my background, it looks pink. Well, since that works out for the best, then I won't complain! :^D

Haha. I bet she was. :-P

Yes, well, what does the Noldo say about that?? In other words, is he willing to admit it? :^D

Thank you sooo much for writing this! I guess this is one of the most personal gifts I ever got for my birthday. We may not know each other as well as I know most of my RL friends, but to receive a story written especially for me makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. {{{many grateful hugs}}} :)You're very welcome. :) It was great fun to work on this story, as I've read but never written Haleth/Caranthir before. Yet they're probably in my top three of AU OTPs, largely because of your stories. (They're #2 on the list

[ann_arien]

I even set aside the Great and Recently Finished Novella in order to write it!

Oh, but I like the sound of that... Great and Recently Finished Novella

That stubborn Noldo put his foot down and would not wait. Of course, since the novella is about Feanaro, then that's a bit boggling, but I guess Carni won that time. ;)

He, he... I do believe that Feanaro might have been placated by retreating to some nice, quiet place, to replay read certain scenes from said great novella. >;)

It's supposed to be violet, but on my background, it looks pink.

Oh well, violet's fine, too. It looks very spring-y in any case. :-D

Yes, well, what does the Noldo say about that?? In other words, is he willing to admit it? :^D

Well, to be honest, I'm not really succeeding in making him talk about it. (Elves! They can be so frustrating!) So I feel entitled to entertain every dirty fantasy that comes to my mind. ;)

They're #2 on the list right after Maedhros/Fingon. *ahem* Yes, I am depraved! :^P

Oh, I cannot really blame you for that. Everybody loves Maedhros/Fingon after all. ;)

That stubborn Noldo put his foot down and would not wait.

You know, I can sooo see him doing this...

And Caranthir and Haleth just...go together.

They do, don't they? *indulges in some very fangirl-ish squeeing*

[digdigil]

OMG, I can't wait to read this!

The funny thing is, last night I just started a Caranthir/Haleth fic for callirhoe for her birthday! How coincidental! However, mine is quite different, so it will be interesting to see them both!

I just have this thing for Caranthir recently. So reading something hott and romantic about him is just the thing. And he and Haleth are just such a lovely pairing (I think, anyway). This is wonderful. I shall read it tonight before I go to bed!

[ann_arien]

I just have this thing for Caranthir recently.

This is so funny! Me too! Ever since about a week ago, he's been on my mind too. And now all the more, because of Dawn's story. I wonder if the Elves have coordinated themselves for giving us identical crushes at the same time.

Or is it that great minds simply think alike?... :)

[dawn_felagund]

Caranthir is quickly turning into one of my favorite muses! It helps that a pretty hefty majority of my flist are Caranthir fangurls, so I find myself writing a lot about him, but the guy fascinates me besides. Even when I don't give him osanwe (like I do in AMC), the relationship between the three middle brothers just begs to be written. They seem to have been paired off: Mae and Maglor, the twins (of course), and--one would assume--Caranthir and Celegorm: dark and fair. And if you go with the idea that Curufin is the fifth-born, that puts them closer in age than Celegorm and Curufin too. So it makes me wonder what happened to make Celegorm choose Curufin over Carni.

I'm also working on another Caranthir story for Vana's return-from-camp birthday, but that one won't have Haleth in it. I can't wait to read yours; they're one of my favorite AU pairings. (Next after Maedhros and Fingon...of course. ;^D)

[aramel_calawen]

The C/H community is growing.

*drumroll*

[dawn_felagund]

Hehe, yes, I got into the pairing too because of atanwende, so this seems more than an appropriate honor for her! :^D

[tarion_anarore]

It's Haleth/Caranthir versus Caranthir/Haleth because we all know that Haleth was definitely on top!

*SNERK!!* Good thing I'm not trying to eat or drink right now, or else I'd be choking! So true, though.

I really like the story! (Even though I'm not as much of a Caranthir/Haleth fan as I am a plain Caranthir fan).

[dawn_felagund]

atanwende got me into Caranthir/Haleth. Before her, I would have said, "Ewww...Elf/Edain. ... Ewwwww...." ;^P

I never knew that you liked Caranthir.
/sarcasm ;)

[tarion_anarore]

Before her, I would have said, "Ewww...Elf/Edain. ... Ewwwww...." ;^P

Hehehehe, me too, unless the Edain is me! Oops, did I say that out loud? I'm still not big on it. Maybe because I haven't found an Elf/Edain pairing that I really like.

I never knew that you liked Caranthir.

Yeah, I keep it on the down low.
;P

[ann_arien]

Sorry I haven't been able to leave a comment sooner. Between the problems with my cat and the school stuff that I had to work on, I've only managed to read this story yesterday evening. And I loved it. Every bit of it

[dawn_felagund]

Thanks so much, Alina! Please don't worry about being "late"; you have a lot going on and I hardly expect you to read all of my stories. Given the volume that I write and the number you've read, I can't ask for much more! :^D

[dawn_felagund]

Oh, and don't worry about the Ent-slash. That was totally a joke! I know it exists, and I know that I venture into the realm of the weird, but I don't think I'll be slashing anyone but Elves and the occasional Human, thank you very much. ;)

[atanwende]

I know it exists

It does? *is marginally shocked*

Yea, because Treebeard/Quickbeam is, like, teh OTP!!!11!!!

I don't even want to imagine it...
