Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
LOTHIRIEL: Lots of love surrounding article surrounding pronouns surrounding direction. All this, for her.
ANCALIME: See her preserve a citrus fruit, after a little concoction.
D A nasal, a liquid and an aspirant mix with some French dog poo for her.
INDIS: Damsel in distress.
E She's reassembled by one who renders people much less dependent, perhaps?
SAPPHIRA: This girl seems blue, though she changes at the end. And she's oh, so precious.

No, it works grammatically. Preserve a citrus fruit = CAN A LIME.

I didn't actually see/think of DIS in distress. I'm fond of G55's 'hide the running answer in the clue' clues and saw an opportunity. I just stretched the meaning a bit, because 'Damsel in in distress' would have sacrificed both grammar and euphony.

Speaking of euphony, 'French poo' would suffice in the D clue. 'Dog' is for euphony, and otherwise quite superfluous.
