Elleth, this is enthralling ... not that this surprises me since I don't think it's possible for you to write something that doesn't enthrall me! :) I love your Luthien (and your Aredhel ... but Luthien is a character I've always had a hard time connecting to, and I just adored your version). I very much agree with Pandë's Goldilock rule here: the love scene was beautiful and hot and just right.

*happy sighs*
