I thought this was very nice. You did an excellent job showing us the differences and sympathies between Elrond and Elros, and brought this full circle to Aragorn. Their feelings were very clear and moving. Good job.

I think that you should post a great deal more. This was a lovely story.

This was very beautifully written.
I loved the descriptions of the brothers, their similarities & their differences. The emotions very nicely done, it's easy to understand how people can become angry in a situation like that.......fear will often do that.
And the ending was very nicely done, the Sindarin fitted perfectly ! Very Happy smiley face

Very nice! In just a few words, you've sketched in the whole relationship between Elrond and Elros. I particularly like the delicate balance between choice and fate when you show what leads them to take their different paths. This is a satisfying look at a bit of the story that has always intrigued me. The ending is a perfect follow-up.

If you don't mind a little constructive nitpicking, I have a couple of comments on small factual details in the story. First, the Valar did not give the gift of death to Men; that was Eru. And second, if you were alluding to the brothers' mortal ancestors, I think you may have meant to write "Tuor" instead of "Turgon."

Those are tiny matters, though, and don't detract from the story's lovely atmosphere. Good job!
