This was lovely to read - so gentle and powerful all at once. It's very much how I imagine the kidnap family, and I love how they all try and support each other through their individual struggles. I found it so soothing to read (after a tough week with my own family during a heatwave). Thank you for writing and sharing this.

That's great to hear! I am really glad to be able to provide some comfort after a tough week. Heatwaves with little people can be very rough! 
Oooh, its exciting to find someone who sees them in a similar way to me! I've always thought that Elrond's later reputation as kind and wise, and his actions in making Imladris the safe-haven and place of rest came about partly because of his childhood. So I tried to imagine what kind of childhood would lead to that. Not without struggle, but with support and kindness.
