A provocative exploration of this relationship. The way you kept the characters identities at first hidden really brought out the shared aspects of this parting, this sibship, and others. Well done.

The moment seemed rushed. Not that I'd want to sit around and listen to their interior monologue angst for seventeen pages or anything, but still... a bit rushed. Nevertheless, I love this moment in the Tolkien mythology, the moment when the twins part for ever, and the moment when Elrond determines that he will always watch over his brother's children. I think your short descriptions of both brothers were right on. Thanks for this peek. It was bittersweet.

I like this tale on the choice of Elros. It is interesting how you detailed their farewell and added a love that Elros left behind.
