Wow!! This is so funny, winding Maglor up! 

And your missing letter E's are so masterfully unobtrusive, I didn't even register that you'd not said "Maedhros" or "Daeron"!

Impressive! 

OMG, this is perfection! The story reads so well on its own without feeling forced around the challenge anti-prompt (which I will be honest I thought was next to impossible when I put that one in!) And there's so many double meanings that I was laughing out loud as I read this! *chef's kiss*

Ooh, this story works very well without E:s! And it was very entertaining, too. I also love to see Maglor and Finrod interacting. I know you didn’t mean it that way, but I have previously read some nice Finrod/Maglor that has softened me towards that pairing.
