Hi!! Elrohir here. I'm so excited to receive a fanwork from you! Thank you for your hard work!!
If there's something you're excited about that doesn't seem to quite fit my list, feel free to go for it as long as it doesn't include any of my DNWs. You can also message me at any of the socials on my AO3 account (I don't check Dreamwidth), or ask my for my Discord handle.
