oooh, I really liked this!

Thank you very much!

This was excellent, well constructed, well reasoned, fully realized. Anything this short that can bring me to tears - yeah! Good job!

Aw, thanks so much! I'm glad you thought the story worked well.

Elboron is a character I probably never thought about, so this was a fascinating read, and his growing up into his role was very well-written. I loved that you included all of the people around him, especially Arwen and Eowyn in their respective roles. Beautiful job!

Thank you! Elboron is a character I haven't thought about a lot either, but somehow I've been drawn to him recently. (I'm currently working on another fic for him, for a prompt from a couple days ago.) I really enjoyed exploring him here.
