I didn't expect to enjoy this story, but it is very sensitively written so far. There are very few scenarios where I would find it believable that an elf would get romantically involved with a mortal. It may be that you are creating a plausible scenario.

Yet with memories within two lifetimes and spanning two ages, I think that Lord Glorfindal is the wrong elf to choose for this. Lord Elrond's sons, Elladan and Elrohir, have some human blood and potential interest in the line of men because of their care for their foster brother Aragorn. But even Arwen did not marry Aragorn before he became king.

And yet Glorfindal is so mysterious that in some ways any possibility is open.

Even for a well written story such as this I am undecided in if I can suspend my disbelief. I compare this to a story in progress I read long ago that had movieverse Eowyn impregnated by Haldir on the eve of Helm's Deep. I could no sooner see Haldir leaving his child with humans than I could see the proud elf leaving his child with dwarves! How would the child make the choice as Lord Elrond made to live as elf or human? And the child of a commoner might well be killed by superstitious neighbors if he or she did not look completely human.

Will Glorfindal take Rebecca to Imlandis to live? The span of her life will be ridiculously short; will he love her to the depth that he might fade when she dies, or will she be more of a pet to him? A romantic will believe that all obstacles to love may be overcome. It will be interesting to read how love will prevail here.

PS. I am no Tolkien purist and I support the concept of AU. Make me believe! Smile smiley face
