Read the rest on AO3.

Was it a little creepy that Imrazôr just found an elf in the woods and decided to marry her?? Maybe, but so was the whole meeting between Thingol and Melian. I stand my case, Tolkien mentioned four marriages between elvers and humans.

So procreation between Man and Elf doesn’t seem to be a struggle. 

EDIT: I am a dumbass, Slovak ô is pronounced not as 'oa' in 'boat' etc, but as the sound of 'oa' if you switched the letters (so 'ao') but kept their pronunciation the same.

Beginning of my project to take canon women in Tolkien who never wed and making them into butch lesbians :) Anyway, Gilmith became a pirate

          Imrazôr was elevated to Prince of Dor-en-Ernil as a young man upon the death of his father Adrahil I in battle. His mother Zâbathasdî helped him transition into rulership, and throughout his reign she remained his closest advisor.           Though Imrazôr’s lands were not threatened, much of Middle-earth was in turmoil, the aftershocks of which echoed even as fair as Gondor’s southern coast. Upon the rise of a Balrog in the dwarven realm of Khazad-dûm, many inhabitants of the surrounding area fled to safer lands. Among these were the elves Amroth, King of Lórien, and Nimrodel his beloved, traveling west to seek the Blessed Lands. They were separated, and Amroth arrived at the coast before Nimrodel. He waited for her arrival in his ship, but one night a storm blew them out to sea, and Amroth, unwilling to leave Nimrodel behind, leapt into the sea in an attempt to return to shore. Though he fought against the waves, he was drowned in the Bay of Belfalas near Dor-en-Ernil.          Moved by the tragic story, Imrazôr renamed the hill near which he died Dol Amroth in his honor and vowed to pass the news to Nimrodel should she ever make her way hither. Though Nimrodel never reappeared, Imrazôr did find a distraught elf-maiden in his woods, and moved to compassion, he brought her to his home. Zâbathasdî, a healer, nursed her back to health, and together she and Imrazôr taught her their language. At first Imrazôr called her Nimrodel, but she refused to answer to that name though she would not yet give him her own. Thus he named her Nimruphêr, “elf-maiden,” and determined to aid her as best he could.           In time, Imrazôr came to love Nimruphêr and asked for her hand in marriage. Unions between elves and men were uncommon, but Nimruphêr, feeling indebted to the man who saved her, agreed to wed him. Only then did she tell him her true name, Mithrellas.           Mithrellas bore Imrazôr twin children: a son, Galador, and a daughter, Gilmith, both named in her Silvan tongue. Though Imrazôr loved her greatly, she never returned his feelings in full, and grew restless, often wandering the woods in which she had been discovered for days on end. When it became clear that Galador, his father’s heir, would inherit his mortality, Mithrellas knew she could not remain to watch her family succumb to old age and she slipped away into the night, never to be seen again. Gilmith, however, chose the fate of the elves, and after her brother’s eventual death she too disappeared, searching for her mother.

The crew of the ship she eventually captained was often changing, but many remained with her for decades still and with change as her life she found no pain in this. She did not make a home at any port, but she had a name in each of them and always brought unique trade goods from far off places even during wartime, always able to slip past pirate ships or hold her own against a boarding. And she would return at times to Dol Amroth, passing through the court as a stranger but always keeping an eye upon her brother’s descendants.
