This is a story i am greatly, especially the Celeborn and Galadriel parts. it's nice to finally see a story where they actually seem to enjoy one another's company! Please carry on.

Author Reply: Thanks, LadyBird. I'm a big fan of both Celeborn and Galadriel -- and Tolkien himself tells us they shared great love. Glad you enjoyed my interpretation.

This story has the same feel as a Greek tragedy. The people of Athens knew the stories before they went to the theater. They knew what was going to happen to Oedipus but they watched it unfold in pity and fear. That's what I feel for poor Celebrian.

Author Reply: Thank you so much for the review-a-thon! Glad you're enjoying the story, and I appreciate that you would take the time to review. The honor is even greater coming from a writer of your skill.

I'm not sure I'm looking forward to writing the next chapter; it will involve walking around in the darkness for a while. But stay tuned!

kind regards

I am almost at a loss of words to say anything about this story. It is breathtakingly wonderful.

So Celebrian heeded the words of her father and has accepted she hold's the heart of the Ringbearer. How clear that is here, that together they are powerful. How strong their bond; how much they see through the other.

The twins and Glorfindel were wonderful, as was Mithrandir. I enjoyed the slight chastisement against Elrond for becoming overdependent on Vilya, but also the grace with which he accepted it.

This is beautiful beyond words. I fear yet for what we learned one chapter ago - for what Galadriel say regarding Celebrian's presence and how she would be recognized more easily. What a foreboding of times to come.
