I am glad this is here now, because last time I needed cheering up, I had to go looking for this story before I found it again... I find this version of Ecthelion irresistible (so spiky! so earnest! and so very funny!), and Tehta's Glorfindel is wonderful, too.

Such a wonderful story, such irresistible characters! Your Ecthelion has definitely made it to the Top Five in my list of My Favourite Elves Ever. And I don't think I've ever laughed so hard with a Silmfic as with the scene of the spitting Sindar.

Truly remarkable, a real classic!

I think this might have been the first Silmarillion fic I ever read and certainly was among first half dozen or so slash fics. No wonder I still write principally in those two areas. It is truly a fandom classic: smart, funny, tender and ridiculous in equal parts and lovingly tied into canon in the most outrageous manner imaginable. I love it and I always have.

I could not resist reccing this story in my latest character biography: of Ungoliant. Any excuse to get people to read such an awesome fic!
