Beautiful. I have wondered many times what life for Gilraen in Imladris might have been like ... and I have really enjoyed your perspective on the matter. Gilraen's pain was almost tangible as well as her shame for letting her passions shine so clearly. I loved your descriptions and characterization of Elrond; the contrast of his youthful appearance with his wisdom was very well portrayed, and made him even more appealing (I could very much so sympathize with Gilraen Wink smiley face

!).

At the end, I loved how you brought everything together with the phrase "I gave Hope to the Dunédain, I have kept no hope for myself" ... there are so many things we don't know about these characters and why they say/act the way they do ... I think you did an excellent job of giving a different prespective to Gilraen's parting words to her son. And that is one of the great joys of fanfic Very Happy smiley face

This story is so believable, it just folds right in with the characters and story we already know. Gilraen did seem a smidge bitter in the Appendix, and this story would explain that. I love the Elrond you've drawn, and the Gilraen. They are both depicted as excruciatingly noble and honest, bound to their separate promises and fate. Really remarkable ficlet.

You've captured two complex characters very well...nothing unbelievable about your portrayal. I enjoyed it, even as my heart ached for Gilraen.

I absolutely loved this story Very Happy smiley face

The descriptions were amazing, particularly those of Elrond, and the whole piece was just completely absorbing. I'm actually finding it hard now to think of Gilraen any other way Smile smiley face

I thought your characterisation of Elrond was spot on, which increased my enjoyment of it too. Well done Very Happy smiley face
