A very interesting line of thought, sparkling a most fascinationg AU, and your take on it is compelling! I often wonder about the impact their parent's desertion must have had on the Eärendilionath, and having them - or rather, Elros - actually talking to their mother about it brings that out powerfully. I can imagine this so very well, also thanks to your excellent characterisations, and would be extremely interested in reading more about this AU.
