Words cannot express how much I love LOTR / TH romance and friendship. Like, it's so genuine, so pure and so devoted.
Take, for example, Arwen and Aragorn. He was willing to give up the woman he's loved for over 40 years because he naturally thought she'd be happier and safer in Valinor, with her family and loved ones. Meanwhile she was willing to give up her immortality, her father and everyone she knew and loved for him and their (future) son.
I know it's sort of on the nose, but it's selfless, timeless and it doesn't put personal interests or wellbeing above the other person's. And it's especially heartwarming knowing it came from a place of suffering and trauma — because there can always be light in darkness, we just need to look for it.
