I just read through all of that in two days. You sir are an amazing writer. I actually feel for the characters in the story, and I absolutely love it when Covenant culture is shown, as well as friendly interactions with Humans. In my head, I'm considering your story as Canon, as it fits well with the Halo Story ( With the exception of Thel'Vadamee being a Supreme Commander in 2530, he was only a Major at the time, 2 years after the glassing of Madrigal. ) Either way, I love the story!
