The Folly of Starlight 9. Goldilox by AC

Rated: Teenage Audience [Reviews - 0]
Summary: This short song-fic is a rewrite of one of my favorite scenes from "Images and Words," this time from Elrond's perspective. Any King's X fans on the list will understand why I just *had* to do this (besides the fact that "Goldilox" is probably the most beautiful song ever written -- note the unusual spelling is the band's error, not mine *G*). Otherwise, just humor me, please *G*.

Thanks to Faela Greenleaf for the beta.

Feedback: always!
