Fanwork Notes

Merry Christmas Grundy!

If I could, I’d wrap this little tale in shiny paper, tie a big red bow around it and put it under your tree, along with a bottle of something bubbly and delicious, and a wedge of real good cheese. Sadly we’re an ocean apart, so SWG it is 😉
I hope the story itself brings plenty of warm Holiday fuzzies.

Thank you so much for all of your help and support for my stories over the years. Your eagle eye for plot holes, all of the good advice and encouragement, and those invaluable brainstorming sessions whenever I’ve managed to write myself into a corner again… I couldn’t have written half this series without you.

I wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and a wonderful 2025!

Many thanks to Marchwriter for beta-ing this story, and making it at least twice as good as it was before.

Aww, this is so sweet!

Though it does seem both Elladan and Celebrían are at their limit - if they hadn't been riding out at the end, someone would have snapped. (Or both?)

Poor Elladan, having to wait at home when he really wanted to ride with Elrond. And poor Celebrían just as frayed and worried as he is, but having to still be mom (and lady of the valley besides). Though she does seem to miss that Erestor would likely include her in that fierce loyalty to Elrond and his sons if she would let him...

Thank you!! Merry Christmas!
