Good to see your Aeglariel again--and that she and Anaire are making friends, despite their very different experiences!

What a delightful story, Ilye!  There are far too few tales of these women, both Anaire and Fingon's canonical-yet-unfortunately-unnamed wife.  You portray them very well, and Anaire especially is believable.  For some reason the culture in fanfic is such that it's (irony of ironies) considered almost heretical to mention Fingon's wife, and I don't see why those even those few who have written stories about her feel the need to pay homage to his fanon relationship with Nelyo, but your tale nonetheless has the ring of truth :)

Your Aeglariel stories have been on my to-read list for some time, and when I had five minutes and was scrolling through SWG, as fate would have it, rhis appeared.

I love so, so many things about this (and now I need to go and read the rest of your fic, to get all the references, much of which I was puzzled over, and also, judging by this fic, they must be lovely!), especially Anaire--I think I'm in love with her *_* (although she must be a bit difficult to live with!) And I love the hints of Anaire/Earwen, and also complicated three (and four!)way relationships, which are really, really, my thing. And, as Himring said, I love the fact that despite the very different experiences that Anaire and Aeglariel had, they're bonding!

I don't think I need to say that I love your writing style--I'm sure lots of people have told you it's gorgeous already. ♥

What I'm trying to say is: I love everything about this fic. Thank you so much for writing it! ♥♥♥

[On references] No, I'm sure it'd stand alone, if not for the fact that I re-read this about a thousand times, to savour all the tiniest details! (Also, well-done hints at backstory [which are perfectly clear standing alone, but also v. tantalizing] make me curious!)
