Hi!
Interesting go at Aredhel and Eol. I always wondered about that union; it sounded very much like rape to me, yet Tolkien later postulated that Elves die when raped and since Aredhel lived it follows she must jave been willing... or not? You give a good solution to this problem, having Aredhel already encumbered by shadows and exhausted and harly herself whjen she arrived and Eol using the fact to get the lady into his bed and bound to him before she knew what happened. This way, the whole sad story makes sense.
Good fic!

Nice short story. I never read the Silmarillion so it was a bit hard to follow. Had to put it together from the bits and pieces from the fanfics that had a bit of history in it. The story is well written and I didn't spot any mistakes so good job.
