Great piece once again, m'dear! I have to agree with Gandalf's Apprentice... someone certainly has a penchant for running around ficwad saying the drabbles, short pieces, or long-wrought works are "boring". Seeing that both you and Gandalf here are fairly talented writers, I will know which ones are the best of the best now with the "boring" label!
Now for you ficlet...Very little is said about Gilraen in the common books and even in the movies, so it is moving to see the passion and sadness that is at the beginning of poor Aragorn's life by losing his father. However, he luckily has his strong mother who remained there for him and had the stout strength of Elrond and his family. Beautiful as always!
