That was so sweet! Sometimes, we all need a little fluff in our lives. Thanks for the smiles today! Very Happy smiley face

A refreshing view of the dour Elf Lords and Ladies. Galadriel as a doting Grandmother, wonderful. All warm and fuzzy now.

Very sweet; it's easy to forget since we see all these Elves ancient and grown that they could have everyday growing family moments. Thank you for reminding us in such a charming way.

2 things clunked for me though: Why would Elladan imagine a tree being evil and I'm pretty sure Elrond isn't actually a king.

Note (1/15) These observations have been addressed.

I love the rewrite. It works so well now. As I said in my PM, the idea behind the story was really good, and this new version is very sweet. Very Happy smiley face There is one bit, about a 'bored king on a summer day' or thereabouts. I think that's left over from the original version of the story, but Nancy is right; technically Elrond isn't a king Very Happy smiley face Once again though, I think this is a very cute story and I do like the image of Galadriel as a granny Twisted Evil smiley face

Very cute story! The thing I liked the most was the flashback to Elros and his son. Usually when someone writes about
Elros, it's sad and depressing for Elrond, but you did an excellent job keeping it light and happy till the end. Keep up the good work.
