| I enjoyed this story due to your excellent writing and also the fact that you decided to explore the relationship between Galadriel and Celeborn. It is unfortunate as you noted that there are not more stories featuring this pairing. I for one am glad that I had the opportunity to read yours. It was also intriguing to see how you portrayed Nenya an interloper with an actual physical presence in Galadriel's relationship with Celeborn. |

Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is how to write Celeborn and Galadriel.
I have always pictured Celeborn this way, in fact IMHO is the only plausible way to see him. If he's the slightest bit jealous, he has gone crazy or very resentful by now. Confident, but not arrogant, supportive but not fawning, one of the few beings in ME that can stand up to her.
I also like how you have Galadriel wishing he got more of the accolades and that Celeborn isn't resentful of the absence.
Giving Nenya sentience is pure genius.
Makes you wonder about Narya and Vilya...
Galadriel's struggle with it was great, especially how she gloats and repremands it
Your representation of the mental aspect of Elven sex is how I have imagined it. The physical sex itself was great but how you used it as a device took skill.
I can't gush enough about this story. I would do a line by line praise orgy but it might spoil it for the rest.

Absolutley wonderful. I loved the way that you worked the word 'whisper' into your story. It made everything tie together niceley. I'd say more, but I believe that Inglor's done it for me!  |

That was an excellent story! I love how you described Galadriel's and Celeborn's spiritual connection as well as the physical one. It was brilliant! And also how you made Nenya have a mind of its own... Great job!  |

This was simply the best G/C fanfic I have ever read! Very well written; I loved how you chose to write things from Galadriels POV and showed her 'powers'. 
The only thing that was incorrect is "A reminder that it was one of the three elven rings, second in power only to the One Ring." - Vilya, the ring first held by Ereinion Gil-Galad, then given to Elrond, is the strongest of the elven rings. |

| "But every whisper was heard by the Lady Galadriel, clear as bells upon the wind." ... This is such a fantastic description of Galadriel's peculiar ability to see into the souls of others. Nice. Sneaky question: does her love for Nenya have anything to do with Celebrimbor? The underlying nuance struck me as particularly insecure, as if they don't trust the strength of their love, even after all this time. They know it, and feel it, but worry that the other has lost interest. So their relationship is bright and sad at the same time: "I always feel as though I am fighting you to keep my identity... And I find myself utterly exhausted from a battle I am not certain I wish to win." How cleverly you've drawn that. |
