Vana's Day by

Fanwork Notes

0. I know "Vana's Day" is not a perfect match for Valentine's Day, but I thought it was an appropriate name for a day where people are supposed to say it with flowers.
1. The first part of this story was written from scratch in just one evening, under some sort of special V-day related compulsion. This is not how I normally work: even drabbles can take me days. I am still reeling from surprise. The second part took a (more usual) two weeks.
2. Thanks to eveiya for the speed-beta on part one, and wulfila for comments on part two!

Congratulations, this piece is just lovely. The style is, as usual, beautifully simple allowing the situation to come to life vividly without need for too many embellishments and the dialogues are hilarious without loosing realism, which I find an extremely difficult goal to achieve.

As for the characterization I found it very enjoyable and well done, your interpretation of Glorfindel and Ecthelion as usual manages to make me laugh at my computer, often in public. 

Great work, as usual.
