Oh, that's lovely! And I love the way they work together, Elrond with all the devices at his fingertips, Elros with the suggestion that changes everything. A house of two indeed. And yet, of course, those same instincts will lead them to such different choices.

I'm glad you like it!

The Star of the North, the Star of the Dunedain, the Star of Numenor, the Star of Imladris -- a new star indeed. A house of two that won't be only two for long.

Everybody already said it and used up the words so I can only repeat, "Gorgeous". The prose flows like water but with a formality of phrasing that captures Tolkien's rather than your own is usually. It feels very right.

I'm so glad you like it! I love Elrond, and I'm trying to get a grip on who Elros is. A new star -- not just the star of Earendil, but the worlds to come.
