Thoughtful. And done well. What an interesting twist to things.

Nice touch with Elrond and his hesitating before Gilrean's door. Smile smiley face

Even the scene change from Legolas exiting her room to the twins appearance offering him companionship during a difficult time. All nicely done.

Oh yeah. Yeats - wonderful choice. I don't always enjoy reading stanzas of poetry inserted in someone's material. But it works so well here. It doesn't steal focus away from the story. It complements it and helps move it along.

I have to say I can't remember reading this pairing before and I wasn't sure how well it could be done, but I thought you did a wonderful job with it.

also - you subtly touched on something that I'm curious about - That while men go beyond the circles of the world when they die, -Elves have the lifespan of Arda, - but when Arda ends ... do they join with Illuvatar (and the Men) at that time? It's said that is their hope.

At that time, when they faced each other, would Arathorn and Legolas be able to accept each other's love and care of Gilraen while the other was unable to be with her?

Strangely convincing and very, very moving. Extremely well done!
