I'm so glad to see this story! I've been looking forward to reading it. I love Elrond as a father, bonding with Estel right away. The twins are good with him too. And as I think about that, I have to admire Gilraen, who did what was best for her son, even though it must have been terribly difficult for her. She must have been very strong. I think the bits with Elrond caring for Estel were my favorite.

It has been fun to think about Gilraen and the type of person she might have been. But Elrond with Estel was the most fun to write too....the wisest elf/man in Middle-earth, yes, but he forgot about diapers!
