This is a lovely, warm story, Oshun, beautifully written and with some wonderful images. I liked how you managed to connect it to so many corners of your personal 'verse. It was good to see Elrond had happy childhood memories to look back on and was content with his life in Imladris. Also loved the glimpse of Galadriel - yes, that's her, lol.

Very much liked this:
Lifting me onto his lap, he tucked my head between his neck and shoulder. His body felt unexpectedly yielding. He had more flesh on his bones than I had expected. His fresh male scent, undercut with the sharp smell of alcohol and a trace of ozone, enveloped me, at once exotic and comforting. He held me like one well accustomed to lulling little boys to sleep. I released a tiny whimper of a sigh and snuggled closer, too drowsy to be self-conscious.
