I'm thrilled to see that you have decided to continue this story. We don't have enough Elrond/Celebrian fictions out there, and I believe they are one of the most fascinating couples in Tolkien universe.

You pick up the story at a very fitting spot; to see how both Elrond and Celebrian are coping with the typical stress before their own wedding shows traits of their personalities that you so well developed in "Alliance". Elrond is still a bit unsure of himself and he still carries the burden of his experiences in the Last Alliance, but it's so heartwarming to see the efforts that he's making to ensure that everything will be perfect for Celebrian. The fact that he recognizes the sacrifice she's made by staying by his side shows the depth of their love for each other.

As for Celebrian, I think this experience with (almost) being the Lady of the household will help her realize that she can make decisions just as her mother, and maybe heal some of that uncertainty that she seems to carry.

The writing was wonderful, the dialogue lively. I especially loved the conversation between Elrond and Erestor about the rings. Erestor's skills at persuasion are most commendable Wink smiley face

Please, give us more!

OOH! I am am so glad you decided to continue this story!!! Elrond was my first Tolkien elf infatuation at a very young age. I've always thought him the most intriguing character the professor presented, beginning with The Hobbit. I am in awe how you seem to have captured his personality and the revealing of his character to us through his experiences. The uncertainty, self doubt, compassion and humbleness are well revealed in your writing. I also very much like how you are developing Celebrian as she spreads her wings and ventures from under her mother's shadow. I can't say enough, well then Erestor has already said it: they are well matched. The very touching portrayal of Erestor is so poignant. Touching on his own losses and how he can indentify with Elrond and his loving thoughtfulness for his friend and his chosen bride with his offer to design the rings and then his sweet attention to having such a soon to be cherished item be a suprise and delight to both recipients. Once again, in just a few words/lines/paragraphs you have hinted at much depth beneath your characters outward appearance. Well I don't feel I have adequately put it into words, but I am so looking forward to the next chapter!!!

This is wonderful, Space! I am so happy to see it. I loved Alliance and I already love this. I really like the way you portray Elrond and Celebrian. I think someone else already said the dialogue in this is outstanding. I am really looking forward to seeing where you go with this.

I cannot believe this. My favourite story continues... unbelievable. Smile smiley face

I envy your ability to make your characters so amazingly believable. It might sound crazy, but I almost feel like I know your Elrond and Celebrian personally.

Celebrian and Elrond are my favourite canon pairing and I enjoy reading about their life immensly.

I just joined this site almost entirely so I could post a review for this story Shocked smiley face

I read Alliance a while ago and loved it so I'm thrilled that you decided to continue the story. I love the insight you give into Elrond's character. Having him be vulnerable and slightly insecure makes him so lovable and (pardon the expression) human. And Celebrian is so sweet. I really enjoy your portrayal of their relationship. I can't wait to see how this story is going to develop. Please update soon Very Happy smiley face

I am in love. Again. SW, it is wonderful to see Alliance continued, I must make mine the other reviewer's words, it was a great one, your characters just blew me away, and seeing them again, continuing their journey through joy to heartache again... well, maybe we don't get to that part.
THANK YOU.

Great chapter!! Just picturing Elrond runnning around his halls looking like your Avatar and everyone else pretending not to notice brightened my whole day ROFL smiley face

I can't wait to see how Galadriel micromanages the wedding. Keep up the good work!!
