It's not easy, but it's worth it by daughterofshadows
Fanwork Notes
Written because I'm aro and like to project personal experiences on my favourite blorbos - in this case Gil-Galad. Arwen and Círdan are just along for the ride. (and because I was mad about someone disregarding the plausible presence of aromantics in Tolkien once again)
If you've read any of my other stories involving Círdan and/or Ereinion, you know that I'm a firm supporter of them being aromantic. Aro Arwen is something that I haven't explored quite so much yet, but I'm very excited to do so in the future.
A Secret Gate submission, difficulty level Easy.
