The Gift of Men absolutely broke my heart!
I replied:
Oh, that’s so nice to hear! Well, I mean … lol, it was a pretty niche fic for me and not a lot of people read it, so I’m glad that it touched you!

Honestly, I don’t think anyone writes about the tragedy waiting to happen of Aragorn, Arwen, and Faramir outliving their contemporaries/spouses/children (delete as applicable) quite like you do.
I replied:
Well, thanks! I think a lot of people prefer to avoid thinking about it or to downplay it, which is fine, but I think it’s really interesting character-wise as well as sad, so.
