Great first chapter--and poor Celebrian! Having Galadriel for a mother would be tough.

Nicely drawn characterisations, some canon-applicable depth to both Celebrian and Elrond, and a deft touch. lovely descriptions and an overall sweet yet hinting at coming darkness tone.....great first chapter, I am looking forward to the future ones Smile smiley face

I love this view of Elrond. It's great. I look forward to updates.

I have enjoyed this chapter so much, I cannot wait to see what comes next! Celebrian's feelings are so well portrayed ... I'm glad that you have been able to show the conflict within her at having such an admired mother, yet there is no real bitterness. She obviously loves her parents.

"Young" Elrond is absolutely adorable ... his lesson in healing was explained really well and I liked your take on the importance of healing the fea as well. The exercises on meditation were very elven, and you were able to portray a very peaceful atmosphere as you described them.

And yet, the two characters that I have enjoyed the most have been Celeborn and Galadriel. Their little trick at the end to get Elrond and Celebrian to take the first step was delightful ... and I was glad to see that at least there was one kiss as a result of it Wink smiley face

Finally, let me commend you on your prose and descriptions. Your writing is so fluid and easy to follow, yet formal at the same time, while the descriptions are detailed in a way that I had very little problem visualizing the events and characters.

It has been a treat to read ... and I can't wait for more to come! Thank you!

Wow... nicely done. You have a real talent in expressing feelings...and actions thru the tip of your pen. Enjoys the frist chapter very much, looking forward to the next...

Sometimes it is just so hard to tell someone to stay isn't it. But that is why love is selfish. One have to be sometimes to really express what the other person meant in the heart.

This is excellent. Truly excellent. I did enjoy Elrond's zen-like teaching and also how everyone seems to know that Elrond and Celebrian were meant for each other except Elrond and Celebrian. I'll be looking forward to future chapters.

All together now: AWWWWW!

As one of the biggest Elrond/Celebrian shippers anywhere, I think I can safely say that this is one of the most promising beginnings I've ever read, as well as great in its own right. The Elrond-teaches-healing scene was just beautiful.

More, soon? Please? *adorable elven Bambi eyes*

This is getting even better! Celebrian and Elrond seem so shy with each other, and apparently the shadow of war is going to only make things more difficult for them. But I like your approach to their relationship ... not hurried ... and very Elven Wink smiley face

.

Your descriptions of Mithlond were absolutely beautiful, I could totally imagine myself being there. You were also able to capture the tension at the mention of war. I thought that the reactions of all the characters were very well portrayed.

... oh, yes ... and there's some Glorfindel. Fabulous!
