You have footnotes. For no other reason than this, I would love the fic, and you. But the story itself is beautiful - the Icelandic settings and all that I get to learn about it, the characterisation of Elijah, and the depiction of Orlando as... I don't know how I want to put it. He's intriguing - where does he come from, why doesn't he have the behaviour of a normal servant? And at the same time, he has the confidence and calm, and MYSTERY of his horse skills. He's like a shadow person - I picture him in my mind really dark, in comparison not just to ELijah but the whole Viking setting, which is bright and white and blinding.
Hmm. I think that comment got a little lost inside itself, but I did really just want to say I'm really loving this. Like someone else said, it feels like a 'print out, bind and keep' kind of story.
