"Niena" is cool because it reminds me of Nienna the Sorrowful in the Silmarillion, which is appropriate.
Romeo'n'Juliet-- ugh. Yes, a thirteen-year-old girl and her sixteen-year-old boyfriend are the absolute epitome of romantic love. And of course it's better to be a dead thirteen-year-old than to Deal With Life.
I agree that romance is a slow, ponderous, and clumsy dance. I might mention, while I'm plugging my latest 'fic, that its central romance takes three decades to get off the ground. Yup.
