Donnel is my favorite character in Awakening and my 2nd favorite in the franchise (1st is Hector). And Olivia is one of the cutest characters in the whole franchise.

and having them paired in a short and sweet story like this one is very good. I think the pace a bit rushed, but nothing that spoils the story. I hope you continue and maybe write a Donnel/Tharja one.

Ah, I've always had a soft spot for stories about Donnel, despite him being the Est-iest Est in the franchise (at least in my playthrough… maybe I got lucky with the RNG)! This was a fun piece of fluff. Well done!
