Lol, thank you! I'm glad it was pretty convincing. I feel like the Valar would be pretending to be elf like already, but there has to be some beings before any elves/humans/etc are there that would just be all "You know what? Until they're here, I'm doing what I want, even if that's living in a stream and having sets of eyes reflecting everywhere from ice".

I had to reset my password just to comment on this, as I've been out of the loop a long time and couldn't remmber it... I love this story, Brooke!  Great to see an interaction between Bombadil and the River Woman. The icy conditions, and how a river spirit would interface with ice, are beautifully painted. I also like the image of Bombadil as attached to the land, almost as though it's an extension of himself (or he of it), that's always how I've pictured him. Well done!
