Ha, I don’t know! I know I feel like most times when I encounter ageless Elves in a canon I definitely feel like I’ve given the repercussions of that worldbuilding more thought than most authors except Tolkien, who gave too much thought to literally everything.

I wasn’t prolific in the Silm fandom but I did read all of the Histories of Middle-Earth, and at one point actually transcribed a bunch of the Fall of Gondolin because it was a library book and I didn’t have a scanner. So.

I only have one Silm fic on AO3, which the dear hearts at Open Doors transferred for me because I’d lost my henneth-annun login by then and I did not have a fair copy of the thing on my hard drive. Cool Waters is notable for being one of the first fics I ever had beta’d, by none other than a_tehta https://tmblr.co/mJ5S_zBHhrMemgM4Jv5ZPFw who I was delighted to realize is still around under that pseud, and my beta was like “you… mention teeth in this thing a lot is that meant to be a theme” and then we had an extremely lengthy discussion about what teeth would be like for an immortal person, and wound up cutting almost all of the mentions of them from that fic, but I definitely carried this weird energy with me into the Witcher fandom because

you can’t have ageless characters and not address what happens to their fucking teeth with normal wear and tear ok

anyway. Thank you for asking, and thank you for reading. :) (Your picture was not posted)
