Summary:

And yet that urgency is familiar enough, even if the words skim past her ears – she remembers seeing it in the elves that gathered to greet her, remembers the arms reaching to help her, the healers descending upon her. It is the greeting committee for one who has traveled here not by choice but by necessity. This is no joyous arrival, no voyage made for love and longing for a reunion, but something desperate.

Did she not know this was the only way her family would come to her?

Valinor may be a land of peace and healing, but that does not mean its residents are free of homesickness – particularly those who never wished to sail to begin with. After a thousand years of living without her family, Cuindis struggles with what it means to welcome a daughter-in-law to join her at last.

A few-weeks-late fill for Diverse Tolkien Week 2021 - and a gapfiller for my personal headcanons and series. Cuindis (Thranduil’s wife) and Siril (daughter’s wife) both sail to Valinor throughout the course of my writings because of spiritual/physical wounds, so I thought I would try writing them a reunion. This story is sort of meant to slightly touch on the prompts Women of Color (because both Cuindis and Siril are), Disability (though I’m unsure about this one), LGBTQ+ (because Siril is), and Religion/Faith/Culture (because wood-elves in Valinor). There’s a lot of headcanon explicated in more detail in the story notes, but as always, please let me know if there is anything in here that is offensive or harmful.
