Thank you! :) I was worried it would fall flat on an emotional level because for all Ingwë's dramatics we do know his worries are baseless and everything turns out fine (unusually enough, for a story in the Silmarillion...). I'm glad to hear it worked for you despite that!

Thank you! :D Writing this story has completely changed my Indis headcanon, and I have to say I've become extremely fond of her and her relationship with Ingwë (although it didn't happen on this occasion, I am pretty sure she *has* tied him to a tree until he stops being stupidly self-sacrificial at least once...).
