Definitely one of the most unique looks at a friendship (and I don't mean that in a bad way) I've never seen before.  Your Idril is a fresh voice, candid and caring, and I always thought of her as a free, strong-willed woman who made her own way in a very difficult time.  This made me smile.  Thank you for a lovely story!

I never saw this character combination written in-depth before, and to be quite honest I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was an amazing, well-crafted read and the way Idril and Maedhros' friendship is so matter-of-fact and sympathetic is nothing short of wonderful, and the ending was exactly right. I may have gotten a little misty-eyed myself. Thank you for sharing this fic.

This. Was. Perfect.

I mean it. Just... Maedhros and Idril interacting and the way you portrayed both of them was so brilliant and the ending had me tearing up and I just...

I loved the way you dealt with the aftermath of what Maedhros went through -- without going into (a lot of) graphic detail but not sparing us much, either. And Idril. I love the way you wrote her.

The stuffed deer is so cute.

No one thought that I might just like someone to hold. No one except you.

That line. That line. I just...

This was an amazing story!
