Awww. You had me at the summary on this one--a decade of hanging out with unrepentant Caranthir fangirls has rubbed off and I can't resist anything romantic with Caranthir--and the story did not disappoint. Caranthir was adorably awkward, and I was so glad it ended as it did. And I see it is not marked as complete, so I'm hoping I'm not off-base in eagerly awaiting more? :D

Your Caranthir voice is so vivid and well-realised, as is the picture you draw of everyday life in Tirion--law firms and all (!!!). I loved particularly the scene at the end with Nerdanel and Feanor; it's such a fun family moment, full of both parental love but also personality conflicts and tension just like in real family relationships. Nice!
