So pleased that that crossover worked for you and you even managed it before the deadline rather than for the amnesty!

Everyone's very much in character and this soiree really feels very Austen-ish, except for the music being elvish!

And I see you solved the problem of Anne not having stayed in Lyme very long, by setting it in Bath, even though Lyme gets mentioned.

I commented on AO3, but I will just say again that Maglor as the enigmatic musician in Bath society during Jane Austen's "Persuasion" is wonderful. Anne and the guests at the party have no idea how privileged they are to have experienced his piano playing. I do wonder whether Maglor changes the instrument he plays along with his name as he lives on through the centuries. It feels like it would be impossible to continue to be incognito if he is always associated with the same music.
