| Sad, perhaps, but full of the promise of what is to come when they are reunited again. Author Reply: Some people have taken this to be when they are reunited - but it's much earlier, perhaps when the twins were conceived. Again, there's room for different interpretations, which I love to hear. | |

| There really are not enough Elrond and Celebrian moments out there. Thank you for this. Author Reply: Thank you. This seems sad to me, knowing what was to happen to her, but someone pointd out that it could be in Valinor after they were reunited. | |

| It's remarkable how one word can dramatically change the subtext of this drabble. I think this a wonderfully well-written, sensuous piece regardless of which subtext is used. :) Author Reply: *grin* Thanks! I'm amazed that it gives the whole piece such a different feel. I'm glad you liked it. | |

| For some reason, I didn't think of "Midnight" (Ch. 26) as being sad, despite the presence of Celebrian. Perhaps that's because I envisioned the scene as taking place in Valinor, after Elrond and Celebrian are reunited. I don't know why I thought that way. Author Reply: I am fascinated by all the different things people read into stories - any stories. There is no reason why this couldn't take place in Valinor, which would certainly make it happy - Celebrķan was fully healed by then. I didn't have a timescale in mind when I wrote this, but now I think it's early Third Age - possibly the conception of the twins or Arwen, which makes it even more special. Thank you for the input - it made me reconsider when this could have happened. | |

| Oh yes. Now my head has stopped aching, I recognise the different form!! Author Reply: I think this version is more acceptable for most people - the other was quite a challenge for me. What a difference a word makes! | |

| What a lovely interlude. Containing a happy and satisfied Elrond - which is a rarity. Poor Celebrian - knowing she would lose all happiness and be forced to leave the husband and sons who were her world adds a sting to the sweet contentment of this. Author Reply: I always feel sad when I write about Celebrķan because we know what will happen. Poor Celebrķan. Poor Elrond. :( | |

| Is it warm in here, or what? Thanks for reminding us that there was plenty of loving in Middle-Earth, even though Tolkien didn't make it the focus of his writing. Author Reply: Elrond and Celebrķan were married for a very long time, and I think there would have been many times like this for them. It's sad to think what was in store for them. | |

| It always amazes me how much can be said in so few words. Very steamy and passionate. Love it. Author Reply: Thank you! I quite surprised myself here - didn't think I could do it. | |
