Ever since I first read LOTR I've wondered why Galadriel so favoured Aragorn and Arwen's love, and long ago I came to the same conclusion you did in your story. Being such a wise-hearted Lady she must have known how good, just and generous Aragorn was, but she also must have known what kind of lonely life he led, and how essential Arwen's love would be for him if he were to succeed.
So, I can't tell you how glad I am to see this point of view so well portrayed as it is in your very perceptive story.
I loved the ending and Aragorn's surprised "I look like a king!". Trust Galadriel to be the one to show him his potential.
