Oh, wow. Wow wow wow.

This piece is so rich and vibrant. I remember the bones of it from some time ago but it needed more, and you brought in exactly what it needed. I had no idea you'd go to the place about Bifur and Kili, but it was perfect. Also, of *course* Bifur would reflect on his own injury as he cares for Thorin's, and I *love* the bit about how he's healed so much in the past 3 years that he wouldn't be willing to give up his own happiness again.

Thank you so much for sticking with this! It is as beautiful and multifaceted as the necklace you write about.
