This is so charming! I was giggling from the first line. Artanis taking charge is wonderful, as is the bickering throughout, and how cleverly they all take adults' expectations of them and use them to their advantage.

This was so adorable and had me chuckling.

I think adults totally underestimate children and the lengths they will go to avoid a scolding.

The foursome are back and nothing is safe from them!

Young Arte is such a mastermind.

I also like the revelation that it was an attempt at re-enactment that led to the demise of the vase.

What a fun, sweet story! With all the family drama so (understandably) emphasized elsewhere, it's good to see these four so close. I like Artanis as the criminal mastermind and Irisse's airy handling of Ambarussa. I headcanon Aredhel as being signficantly older than Amrod and Amras, due to her friendship with Celegorm and Curufin, but that's a human interpretation of the facts. Elves could "catch up" a century.

Thanks for the story!

Ahhh, I love this! Stories about baby-elf shenanigans are my favorite, and you do it so well here! You really captured the excellent ~logic~ of children (see the last few lines of the fic, for example). Really great. :D
