Thank you for letting me beta this! I know I already commented over on AO3, but this deserves all the reviews, because the fic is just that good - after all, you got me invested in a ship that had never crossed my mind before. I don't know how precisely you do it, but it definitely is a testament to your writing. :)

(And you should definitely post more of your stories here for more people to see!)

You've made that unlikely pairing work very well!

One of my favourite lines in here is: "I don't know who thought I was a good choice for commander of a refugee group".

Also that how Gildor was found on the battlefield is  a memorable one.

This was lovely! Not a pairing I would have ordinarily chosen to read, but very glad I did. You really got their characters down well, and a sense of the circumstances. Thanks for sharing :)
