THOSE ARE GOOD WORDS THAT JUMP OUT AT YOU!! And you do string them along in a charming fashion.

I really like that the fic focuses quite a bit on Elros. So many fic about the twins growing up focus on Elrond, which is totally understandable since he's a (relatively) familiar character, after all, but I have to say, I'm way more interested in Elros and his eventual choice.
