#like. so much complexity with his own stuff w elros and childhood and now he’s having twins of his own

[mahtaniel]

When Elrond is young, he dreams of a girl, and then a young woman, who looks like him. His daughter. He knows he’ll have her long before he knows who he’ll marry.

When he and Celebrian are expecting their first child, he waits eagerly for his daughter. It feels like he already knows her well even if they haven’t actually met yet. He’s been loving her for thousands of years.

Nothing could’ve prepared him for the surge of hope and dismay and joy and fear that all come up together when Celebrian tells him that they’re actually expecting twin boys.
