Well, I think it's very romantic! And socially awkward, too, of course, but that's Carnistir for you.

I like the detail of the dumplings.

Awww. You had me at the summary on this one--a decade of hanging out with unrepentant Caranthir fangirls has rubbed off and I can't resist anything romantic with Caranthir--and the story did not disappoint. Caranthir was adorably awkward, and I was so glad it ended as it did. And I see it is not marked as complete, so I'm hoping I'm not off-base in eagerly awaiting more? :D

So sweet and fully in character, no doubt this is Caranthir at his best. And Feanor! Of course he would want to make the rings don't I want them to be perfect? Not easy to be one of his boys!

Lovely story!

Your Caranthir voice is so vivid and well-realised, as is the picture you draw of everyday life in Tirion--law firms and all (!!!). I loved particularly the scene at the end with Nerdanel and Feanor; it's such a fun family moment, full of both parental love but also personality conflicts and tension just like in real family relationships. Nice!

Oooooh, so that's where the lobster landed! :^D  Very much enjoyed this fic, GG.  I love both Parmë's and Carnistir's voices - both sound appropriately young.  It's a lovely little slice of life before...well, before things became Dark.
