Thank you for your lovely feedback. I had no idea when I started writing that Legolas would find a love interest, but it does seem right, doesn't it?
Romance was very much what I had in mind. :)
In Letters, Tolkien somewhere likens Frodo's stay on TE to being in purgatory, which for me had a connotation of atonement and a Bad Thing, but then I looked in my etymological dictionary and found the root of the word was to purify, which seems to fit much more with Arwen's words about finding healing.
There is no way we can know, which is where Sam's comments on understanding (or rather lack of it) come in. You'll find some distant echoes of 1 Corinthians13 in the story, especially the idea of being a child waiting to take their first step, and also Frodo's explanation of trying to see through a window at night and only seeing your own reflection.
