Nicely done!

And let's see if HTML works:

<i>Good to see he's found his match.  This story is a good bookend to your other one of him meeting Amarië.</i>

<b>I particularly like how you show his distance from his brothers, and use Fëanor's and Nelyo's debate about good and evil to shape the discussion of the Silmarils.</b>

Oh this was beautiful Dawn. I just couldn't stop reading, I just absorbed scene after scene ánd read it again. I especially liked how you compared the light of the trees and the aussaging effect it had on Caranthir and how Taryindë has the same influence over him. I cannot help to think she has the same skill or has used very young how to lock her mind to him. I now feel I should get my hands on more Taryindë and Caranthir love stories written for you. Look what you have done! ;)

Still Dawn, I think the way you adressed the side effects of capturing the lights in the Jewels, Caranthir's response to them and how he perceived them: well explored! Now... is there more if this? (yes Celegorm's impatience is rubbing off on me ;) ) 

Very nice, as always. Your greatest gift, it seems, is that you bring such depth of character to where it otherwise is completely lacking.

I LOVE this story. It's delicate strangeness, completely original and beautifully written. 

Beautiful Carnisitr and his sweet and unspolied Taryindé. Such a love story this is.

Just rereading this- perfect, beautiful, poignant and tender story. Wishing you would write more Caranthir- no one does him like you.

Just checking in with my favourite couple in teh Silm. I love this so much .

Just pondering on this

"We do die, Carnistir," she answered. "In a way different from those mortal upon this earth, yes, but we do die, and many among us have been shut up in rock in punishment for the death of flesh. In the moment before hope is lost and the spirit flees, it may be that I feel the chill of entombment upon their flesh," 

What does she mean by this? She is clearly 'sighted' herself and her abilty to hide her thoughts from Carnistir is obvious, but she doesn't always know his- but perhaps that is because he has not articualted those thoughts before now... Anyway, beautiful story. Much loved by me. Your Carnistir is my favourite character in the Silm (apart from Nelyo but he does come close)
