Interesting! The Gates of Summer festival, as described in the Fall of Gondolin, always seemed rather strange to me but here you've made it seem very natural. I like the idea of it being a Sindarin tradition, too.

I'm also glad to see a story with Idril, Aredhel and Lalwen bonding! The tiny bit of astonomy made me happy, too.

Randomly, I thought this bit of description was really nice:

"...had shorn their dark hair so short that it lay like a smooth helmet around their heads..." 

Probably a strange thing to like, but I thought it made a very sharp mental image!
