You've got so many little details in here -- drunk hobbits! (always a win), Gimli's comments on Galadriel and Arwen -- poetic and perfect associations with nature, the drak and the fair -- and then his characterization of Legolas! Fantastic. ♥ (Your Gimli is such a romantic and I love it.)

About the tolkienbigbang beta, I can volunteer spelling-and-grammar reading services! I'm not really familiar with this period of canon to do much characterization feedback, but I can serve as another set of eyes if you need me to. Just let me know :)
