This is one of the fics that's making my heart hurt - Ancalimë has such a tragic story already, and to know that there is an additional component of unrequited love is painful. Don't get me wrong, I love this, and also love your choice to show the POVs of both sides - but painful. Which is very much intended as a compliment, since you are (also) steering well clear of the sort of melodrama that might have made the whole thing feel less genuine.

Thank you very much, Elleth! I'm glad it feels genuine and that the different POVs work for you!

There were four years between the writing of the first chapter and the second and, although I didn't feel satisfied, it never occurred to me to write Ancalime's POV until suddenly...
