Oh, these were so lovely and painful to read - from the emotional aspects to the details of Nerdanel's craft (not surprising considering it's you who is writing these), there were some wonderfully resonant moments in this collection. The final one especially made my stomach clench.

(And on a side-note, the idea of the harvest being brought in to avoid a famine is something that features heavily in the Darkening fic I'm working on, so I was thrilled that someone else picked up on the same detail! :))

Thank you so much for our lovely review. Yes, if the crops were not brought in quickly and stored properly, there well could have been famine in Valinor - a rather unsettling view of 'Paradise" wouldn't you think? They had no light other than starlight until Isis and Arnar were placed into the skies, so the Darkness was a totality and a time of terror, no governance, and probably some serious panic among some of the residents. 

Thank you for your very kind words about Nerrdanel's craft. *hugs*
