When we mourn for those who passed away, we recollect all the moments spent together, good and bad, as we ponder life and death, and also our own deeds. Then comes the acceptance, or sometimes the defiance, of what happened. Celegorm reflects on the death of his faithful companion and his life, trying to justify his actions and, which is more important, understand them. You've done a great job conveying his thoughts and feelings. This was very emotional and moving. Thank you for sharing Very Happy smiley face

This is beautifully expressed, full of the ambivalence faced by those who mourn, especially when time or circumstance has distanced them from the lost. Wonderfully done!

OMG - This totally made me get all misty. Cry smiley face

Perhaps because I love my pets like they are family. How nice it is to see a softer side to Celegorm, who showed so little gentleness in the Silm. This is just wonderful Rhaps. I love it. The part about his vow not being Huan's - so wonderfully done. Clap, Clap, Clap smiley face

Aww, Rhapsy, how wonderfully unique and lovely. I had no idear you were working on this. I loved it. Something so original, it was simply a joy to read. You're writing seems to blossom with every new page you write. Wonderful, sad, and Celegorm, *thud*

Gods, Rhaps, but this was beautiful, and it just ripped my heart in two. "Why did you bring her to me? Blinded by her grace, you did not wish to see the intent of her enchantment. But I did and choose to save the life of my brother in the end." This part just killed me. Why indeed did Huan bring Lúthien to Celegorm? That is such a good question, my dear. It so begs to be explored, maybe with a different AU outcome! Anyway, you have written a sad, lovely, wonderful lament for Huan and I LOVED it!

Oh my! I put this on my watch list and came over to read it the moment I got the notice. Awww...in the Puppy Hall at Mandos I hope there is someone who can put their arms around this dog and give him a big hug for me. And I hope Celegorm is allowed to go visit him while he is there. I think they both need a lot of comforting and they need to have a reunion where they can pour forth their souls and kiss and make up.

This is a wonderful series. Just so heartwarming but heartbreaking at the same time!
