Summary
There were two young Finwëan men named after stars living with Círdan at the end of the First Age. One of them, Eӓrendil, abruptly disappeared, his fate known only in legends. Around the same time, the other, Gil-galad, abruptly *appeared*, his origins shrouded in myth.
But like they say of Superman comics… there’s no way Clark Kent could be Superman. We all know where Superman lives—what would he be doing running around in disguise? That’s ridiculous, right?
Right?
*Look. It wasn’t like Eӓrendil had planned to disobey (another!) edict of the Valar, fake his death, lie about his identity, cheat fate, meet his apparently-not-dead sons, and become the king of the remaining Exiles. It all just… snowballed.* -
Bookmark Notes:
Where did Gil-Galad come from, where did he go, no one knows; except his wife, son, daughter-in-law, his dead son, and the man who raised him, also this other guy who worked for his grandpa.

Bookmark Notes:
I love the portrayal of Earendil and Elwing they’re not onedimensional caricatures

Bookmark Notes:
I started reading this like, “hmm fun crack concept,” but now I’m genuinely emotionally invested in your Gil Estel-Galad and his relationship with Elrond.

distilling this into a serum and injecting it directly into my head to treat my chronic brainworms (in fact it actually made the brainworms worse BUT i enjoyed the experience, except for when it was viscerally upsetting and sad)
