Yes, I label it as slash because I had intended it to be slashy, so those kisses-on-the-mouth felt a bit too much not to warn "certain factions," if you know who I mean. ;)
My idea of Maedhros taking on the new name after his mutilation was not originally mine. Ithilwen, maybe? But it's always made such sense to me; in general, taking the Sindarin names seems a way to leave behind and keep safe the relatively innocent Elves who were born and lived and loved in Aman. I'm so glad that this seems to have come across so well in this drabble. :)
