Pardon my randomness, but I thought I'd stop by and leave FB on "Night and Day." I always like to poke around the journal of whoever friends me, and I was thinking to myself, now why is the name Lori Grey familiar? Then I found your archive and that you had written a LotR piece, and when I started reading it, I realized that it was an old favorite that I had read years ago but lost, so I'm delighted to find it again!
It's just achingly lovely writing, so lyrical and full of emotion and yet not overdone at all. You have an amazing way with language and a real gift for figurative language; I wish I could invent the kinds of unique and vivid comparisons you make - they add so much to the moment you're portraying. And of course this is just hot, hot, hot, with delightful little twists of humor too.
Le sigh. This is vintage A/L, the kind they don't write anymore. I've been losing my passion for my OTP for a long time, but this reminds me why I loved it in the first place. Thank you. Will rec it in a couple places *g*
