Concise, well written, and - damn, I liked. Thank you, Pride, you covered everything I like about Elricest and all my reasons for supporting it in there :D.

Another fic I'd recommend - nagisathesis recced Uneraseably virtue as the fic which got them into Elricest, so I'll rec the fic which got me into it, as well :). First Snowfall (http://www.livejournal.com/users/pellaz/52673.html#cutid1), by Keruri, yo. Absolutely gorgeous. *Fangirls shiny fic*
