As someone else said, this is so heartbreaking. Elros has so much hope and to see it shattered like that.

This is a great idea for an AU. It's really interesting how much can change with just that one thing different. If you ever write more of this AU I'd love to read it.

I was convinced all the way through that Elros and Elwing's reunion would be a happy one, right up until the point where they were reunited. But then it makes sense that it isn't - Maglor isn't to be trusted and outsiders aren't to know that Elrond and Elros aren't kinslayers too.
