Thank you! Heartbreaking was what I was aiming for, and the fic itself was just a little harrowing to write, so I'm glad the effort paid off and you enjoyed it (for a given value of enjoyment, that). ♥

Thank you so much, Himring! :) And I'm so happy that you picked up on Gilraen. I'm not completely sure where this came from, but with Aragorn being, ultimately, the last of the Númenoreans (or so he says), it felt quite fitting that Sauron's manufactured downfall of Númenor, and Sauron's own downfall, might cross wires, so to speak, and of course Gilraen and Míriel have some interesting thematic opposites that also played into this. I may actually pick up this particular thread for another fic if it fits.
