Running behind here! When I saw the prompt for commenting on an exchange, I immediately thought of the Tolkien Secret Santa Exchange. Thought I didn't participate directly, I loved seeing all the wonderful stories and art posted. It's a great exchange.

One story that I particularly liked was One Step Closer by NelyafinweFeanorion (maedhrosrussandol on Tumblr), written for @rosengreen.

It's a great story describing how Maitimo and Findekano grew close while Maitimo was tutoring Findekano. I really like how Finwë's thoughts of what they had to forsake when coming to Valinor was woven in, and Finwë's desire to speak with Maitimo to reassure and support him.
