Your Elrond avvie popped into my mind quite a bit during this chapter. It was a delightful read, especially to see the bride and groom having some time alone to speak of their concerns. The chapter had a little bit of everything: drama, humor, romance ... and the impending arrival of the mother-in-law Very Happy smiley face

. I really enjoyed the dynamism of the first part, and the contrast of the calmer scene between Elrond and Celebrian.

I have the feeling Elrond is not going to believe this is happening to him until he's in bed with his bride Laughing smiley face

Waiting patiently for the next Wink smiley face

“Endless sunshine, so long as you are with me.”
Okay, I really choked back the tears on this one. The contrast with the happy couple on the verge of that sunshine and the contrast with Erestor and his plight - just wow!! the play of shadow and light you weave throught the scenes is just, well, attention getting, it keeps the reader hanging on every paragraph. You've painted all the characters endearingly well, even the micromanaging mother-in-law!! looking forward to more!!!

I loved it Space--Erestor is such a wonderful character and the references here to Take the Little Ones are too sad. It is naturally difficult for someone who has lost nearly everyone to be completely happy for someone who is gaining everything--but his reflection about Elrond envisioning a long happy future is particularly poignant (sp?) considering what we know of Celebrian's future.

And I was so happy to see Erestor's son make an appearance. I loved the idea of the song and Erestor's response. The was great.

And Elrond and Celebrian under the stars. Perfect.

Great chapter. Again. I am sooo happy you continued this. I love it.

Loved the third chapter. The way Galadriel tests Elnrod is wonderful and very true to charector. Celeborn is very much the father.

Please update again soon.

WOW! what can I say? Okay I'll start with the first two paragraphs of your descriptions of the Imladris and sunrise: stunning. I could really see it. I just love the detail you weave into your stories. It's as if I can see it, feel it, almost taste it.

Like Elrond, for a moment I thought you were painting a "dark Galadriel" or evil mother in law. But then, like Elrond, when I really thought about it, and her gift of foresight (like his, but farther reaching) then I was sure it wasn't what it appeared to be. A well set stage.

Nice resolution to the chapter: an intimate moment with father and daughter. And then the self reflection of his own life. A very well set contrast.

Kudos my dear, another lovely addition to the tale. Looking forward to more.

You know, Galadriel testing him was *scary*. I completely sympathize with Elrond, that was going to be one loooooong couple of days. Also the part where he got crestfallen over her comment at the first meeting was hilarious. It seems wise, ancient Elf-lords cannot help but be anxious about in-laws as well.Hah! Though some may argument it's the mortal blood speaking...

For a moment I thought Celeborn would be doing the same with Celebrian, and he kind of was but not quite. Celeborn was a lot less subtle and to the point- he just wanted to make sure the little baby girl knew what she was doing and was content with her choice.

I have a crush on Celeborn. No, seriously, I had it from way before, but it's getting worse.

Dude, how has no one else thought of galadriel wanting to see the tree's Light on Glor's eyes?
Terrific insight, and I say again, I love the way you portray Celeborn.

PS- celebrian has something of a wild side. You go girl!
