Lol, thank you! I'm glad it was pretty convincing. I feel like the Valar would be pretending to be elf like already, but there has to be some beings before any elves/humans/etc are there that would just be all "You know what? Until they're here, I'm doing what I want, even if that's living in a stream and having sets of eyes reflecting everywhere from ice".

Thank you, Himring!

Tom and her are friends, of a sort - and even if they weren't, Tom respects her.

I'm glad you like both the fox and the scarier parts of her - she is basically the personfication of a river, so she should be both helpful and capable of ultimate destruction. :P

Thank you! :D

Thank you! :D I'm glad it's just how you like stories!

Thank you, Huin! I can sympathize with forgetting passwords - I feel like I end up resetting one every few months, because I'm out of the loop and forget. I'm glad Bombadil is how you've always pictured him, and that you like how the River-woman is portrayed as a river spirit interfacing with ice.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
