| The responsibility to rule comes at the cost of freedom. How sad, even when you let us readers know that even their intimate moments are scarce and haven't born any fruit yet. What a pressure on the shoulders of a King. Nice work Rous! |

Oh Rous, the expanded version is beautiful. With the first version (although I just read others could read it was Elrond), I didn't had an idea who the write was, but actually, for me it didn't matter. When I read the second paragraph I realised the writer was sending a letter to Galadriel and Celeborn regarding Celebrian... and this tiny shiver crawled up my back... What a wonderful piece of writing Rous, thank you for sharing the extended edition  As for time setting, LOTR would have worked better... Celebrian's fate is in the appendices of LOTR and is not covered in the Silmarillion. But oh well, I don't mind. Such a great ficlet! |

| Oh Rous! How nicely drabbled. I have read a story like this, written by Sophia Silfaery, Foresight (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2305064/1/), and she gave her own twist about it. But Haldir questioning the *why* they should interfere andin combination with that moment in the movie, where he proudly tells Theoden why he's there with his elves. A great visual Rous! It makes me want to pop in the Two Towers! |

| Isil, I just feel this chill creeping over me when I read this very touching moment. For me, the moment where Faramir gave Éowyn his mother's mantle is incredibly touching and moving. In this short piece, you explore this tender and emotional moment of Faramir while he finds and collects the mantle for the new woman in his life. The way you write this, it gives us a great insight in Faramir's emotions and how he looks back on his troubled life. Treated with care and respect, this is a beautiful vignette. Thank you for sharing it! |

| Isil, I am always amazed by your eye for detail and your fluid manner of writing. The way your couple dances, even when the music fades away feels so perfect and it mirrors the deep love they share. A beautiful piece of narrative, not a single line of dialogue to seen and you bring across the message of this short piece incredible well. |

| While I read this, I remembered the recent discussion on how handwritten letters carry so much more emotional value than digital documents. In that respect and with that viewpoint, it makes this short moment between Bilbo and Frodo so beautiful. A history of his parents will be transferred to Frodo, a small treasure in itself and it also tells the reader how fond Bilbo was of writing himself. Combined with this, it felt like a rites of passage, Frodo, seen old enough to court ladies romantically, being handed the love letters between his parents. What better way for Bilbo to have the talk by means of these love letters. Very enjoyable Nancy! |

Oh... LOL... That conversation between the boys, looking down in the crib. Especially this line is excellent:
“You will do no such thing as offer him your sister again.” |

| Chilling... Arda's lament, the fruit of the Valar. In well chosen words you picture an event that has gone one so long. Arda's weariness, her pain and Melkor's rape... An incredible drabble Rous. Amazing. |

The short story of yours gives me that genuine feeling that Christmas is coming. Like a dance, Celebrian falls for this mysterious masked stranger and somewhere down the line, and oh so incredibly cleverly written, she knows it is Elrond. It gives me the warm fuzzy’s to see this warm love between Elrond and Celebrian: for me you portrayed it so wonderfully.
Also, in such a graceful style you picture such a lively and real scenery to me. For example, when both lovers were in the room alone, I somehow felt you brought the reader there as well. This all with great detail and a grand narrative style: incredibly well done! For me an absolute must read before the holidays! Thanks Space, for sharing this wonderful story with us! |
