"Her ache was humbling her." ... Well, that's a Galadriel moment I never thought I'd see. But it *works*. The sex scene was fantastic, but more impressive was that it actually changed the characters, moved the plot. Chapter 1 sets up some intriguing conflicts.

And regarding chapter 2... Okay, I know that I should have been waiting for that ending. It was right there in the summary. But it still crept up and smacked me. What incredible characterization of a character -- Celeborn -- who doesn't even have a line of dialogue! Wow.

Yet another great piece of writing by you. As Viv noted, Celeborn did not have a single line of dialogue. Yet if you had given him an actual physical voice in this story, it would have diminished him as a character. This truly shows how Celeborn's greatest strength is his silence.

The first chapter of your story was also a standout in that it showed Galadriel, who is typically portrayed as some larger than life almost asexual creature, as a woman ruled by her desires. Definitely a different take on the Lady of Lorien.

Woo ;p

What a take on the character we have known only as the serene Lady crowned with radiance - somewhat disturbing (simply because i've never ever thought of her as anything but!) but an easily acceptable transgression actually.

Lovely..you continuing this perhaps?

Lovely! But to short! A little bit disturbing, but interesting - a new pov, very original as an idea. A fantastic piece and Viv and Sindhote are right - the fact that Celeborn has no lines at all shows your outstanding writing skills. Very Happy smiley face

I am a Silm ignorant, but I am very happy I dared to read into a Silm fic. The smut was great but the part I enjoyed the most was the character interaction ... brilliant!

Thank you,
C.

You already know that I very much enjoyed this story, and I'm glad to see that so many others have enjoyed it as well! Great work, Inglor, as always. Very Happy smiley face

I read this story at the recomendation of Havetoist. I do not know what I expected, but it was certainly not what I read. I do not like the position (pun inteneded) that you put Galadriel in, however, the characterization was outstanding. Celeborn is one of my favorite characters and I do not like to think of him as being made a fool of, but I could honestly see Galadriel in a new light. I still do not like the smut part, but that she would willfully go about her own deisres does fit with the Noldor arrogance. All in all, it is a good story. I am glad now that I read it. I must be off to check out more. And get some popcorn.

Oh Inglor! That was fantastic!

Celeborn in his silent but heavy presence was superbly done. Galadriels motives were not as deep as i was expecting but i think the shortness, the abruptness, works and keeps a readers attention.

The formatting in Chapter 1 was a little strange, i wondered if it was meant as two short chapters rather than one medium sized?

Chapter 2 ended on a sigh and i actually believed it as canon!!! That makes you as the writer successful in my reckoning.

And it was a pleasure reading a fic that was flawless in structure, pace, grammar and punctuation! Thank you! Very Happy smiley face

I think the chapters are very well written. Interesting fall and redemption of Galadriel. Yay Celeborn for forgiving and taking her back.

sorry, I'm bad at writing reviews.
