I go away for a week and what happens? Three updates and the story is finished. Very Happy smiley face

I haveto agree with Thuriniel. The fact that there was no larger that life drama involved when they declared their feelings was good. I must say that I found their confusion and shyness very amusing. It made their love seem so pure, but at the same time very strong.

I am so glad she finally found her place in life. Her character developed nicely troughout the story. The ending makes you wonder what would have happened to Elrond (and ME) if there had not been Celebrian.

Thank you for this lovely story. I really loved it.

This was a rainy afternoon well spent! I can't say anything else except that your writing is simply amazing, and I could only wish to write with as much wonderful detail as you do. This was an involving epic, detailing the horrors of battle and the after affects, with a little bit of romance mingled in. All of your characters were exceptionally portrayed and how I would picture each of them. The relationship between Elrond and Celebrian was sweet without being too overdone.

I'm going to stop gushing for risk of embarassing myself Surprised smiley face

ops:, and leave it at this. Wonderful! Will definitely be reading your other stuff, but as of now, I am a huge fan!

I loved your interpretation of the reasons behind Elrond and Celebrian waiting for so long. Your descriptions of the battles make them sound really horrible, which of course, they were. I love that Celebrian was the one to heal Elrond.

This looks like a good story from ct 1 and I hope to have more time to finish it soon.

I've been feasting upon this delightful tale in snipets for some time now. It is very intriguing and very well written. I am enjoying it immensely.

This is my favorite portrayal of Elrond in any fanfic I've read and its a really gripping and amazingly written story.

This is I truly enjoyed this story for several reasons. I agree with Celeborn and Galadriel when they see Elrond and Celebrían together that it will take time to get them together. I never ever anticipated on being treated with an excellent story like this. This story makes a thrilling read because it deals more with a romance. The way you write about the last alliance Space, truly stunned me because you wrote it in such detail and perfect storytelling that I really wanted more. It was perfectly balanced and well researched. I loved the care for detail and it made me wonder how much, like Gil-Galad, just like you, must have studied maps, thinking where to place what battalion of an army, commanded by who. On top of that: the characterisation of every canon character involved felt truly genuine and the original characters involved are written thoughtfully.

Back to the couple: you end the story with them together, although not married yet, but you give the reader a very valid reason why it took Elrond and Celebrían such a long time together, but we know at the end that a firm base for this personal alliance is there. I love the way in which you brought the two of them together. Both characters lived in the shadow of a ‘greater’ person for such a long while, but together they know how much worth they truly are for the Eldar. I found out this evening that the story continues in Surrender and I can't wait to read that! A great story Space Weavil!

The characterization is excellent, the dialogue superb, the longing palpable (having done a long distance relationship myself, you nailed the constant worry and longing part spot on) and you taught me a hell of a lot more about the second and third ages than I learned reading the canon. The research and study you put into this piece must have taken years. Bravo. It reminded me more of a WWII romantic epic than fan fiction, and I mean that in the best way possible. I simply can't gush enough. I actually cried at points (Gil-Galad a heap of ash at Elrond's feet? and Elrond's inadequacy b/c he's Peredhel while Celebrian feels trapped in Galadriel's shadow? tear!). I never do this, being far too mature for such antics, but... squeee! And now, I will Outta here smiley face

and hide my embarassment at just fangirling the living daylights out of you.

Blessings,
