I'm posting this on behalf of myself and my RPing partner Gwen. We have a dilemma, specifically a love triangle, and we'd love an unbiased opinion to help resolve it.
The aforesaid love triangle involves Aravilui, a male elf, and Eòran, a male half-human, half-Fae, both in love with Edenel, a female elf (and the titular "she"). Both men love her, and she loves them both equally; on the other hand, both men have sufficient reason to let her love the other instead of them. Aravilui, whose past (both distant and recent) is filled with great trauma, fears to expose Edenel to that if they should marry and thus their souls bond; Eòran, being immortal but still partly human, thinks it would be better for Edenel to marry one of her own kind.
To make things even more complicated, Edenel and Aravilui are both in Faerie, not their own world, through a number of complex circumstances. Eòran has lived in Faerie for the past thousand years or so (which is why he is partly Fae and immortal), with his brother and sister-in-law. Aravilui wants nothing more than to go back home, and he wants Edenel to go with him. Eòran wants Edenel to stay with him, because he fears that if he leaves Faerie for too long he will fade away (which is true of the Earth he lived in before going to Faerie, but he doesn't know if the elves' world works the same way). There is also the risk that, even if Eòran does not simply fade upon leaving Faerie, he will die of old age like the human he used to be. They all also know that whatever Edenel chooses will be irrevocable. If she leaves Faerie, with or without whomever she chooses, she can never come back; if she stays, she can never leave.
In short, please choose the pairing you feel is best: Aravilui/Edenel, Eòran/Edenel, or "none" if you feel she should choose neither.
