I had a smile on my face the whole way through! This is thoroughly delightful. It's absolutel  adorable the way these Ainur are kind of playing at "Elves", trying out things before the Children arrive. Mairon in his pink frilly apron proving dough like a mother hen sitting on her eggs! What an image!! I love that his fana-heat is enough for the job! And his forge-brain thinking of the buns like an alloy and experimenting with other ingredients. It could have been disastrous, but he obviously has a good feel for baking. Ha! Eonwë not bothering with a door or stairs, but then getting almost-stuck in the window is such a scene! I'm so pleased the buns were a success, and not only in their flavour, but their effect! Lovely!

Thank you for a lovely comment! I'm happy that you found the fic delightful. Yes, and playing at "Elves" is just what they're doing there! The Ainur just can't wait for the Elves to appear. I don't know why, but I like to write Eönwë a bit whimsical character.

Charming!

Like Anerea, I really enjoyed how Mairon's smithing experience and his Ainurin special faculties inform his experiment at baking.

Of course, he is a bit of a genius as well, for this first attempt to turn out so well.

Literally and metaphorically sweet...

This is so very sweet!! I love the whole idea of Mairon baking (and the fact that Yavanna has a kitchen!) And then, when Eonwë kisses him, Mairon forgets all about the cinnamon rolls he's put so much thought and effort into making...lovely. :)
