I love your universe! It makes so much more sense! I definitely see theirs as a political relationship, but one that Thranduil (being in love with someone else already, and having to part with him for the sake of politics) went into with his eyes open, but she was younger and more naive, and kept hoping that it would become a "true" marriage, and became disillusioned for that reason. It seems completely reasonable to me that she would want out!
Part of my difficulty is trying to pack a digestible back-story into a one-off piece. I feel like I'd be able to develop it better if it were a longer story with a larger scope. But I had the idea for it before I had fleshed out the situation with her in my mind, and now I'm having to sort of retrofit it, which isn't ideal. At least, it's not my preferred option. I prefer to know these things going in, but it was more like, I've got this idea that I like, and this fully-explored relationship between these two people and... oh, shit. There's the Mystery Wife to deal with. 0___0
