Oh, I've actually read that one before! Ages and ages and ages ago, over on fanfiction.net; it's one of the few I have in my delicious links. Fascinating stuff; I'll have to update it to the h-a link, thanks.

Speaking of Tolkien stories that stick in the mind. Have you read Colours Fair and Fell? It's an unusual Gandalf POV, as he thinks on the Steward's family.
