I have to confess, I nearly fell off my chair. girl, that was bold!
Actually, there are three versions of the tale of Galadriel and Celeborn in the Unfinished Tales. One of them having Celeborn as a Telerin prince, born in Valinor who followed Galadriel into exile, so you're not that far from the track. Tolkien revised himself so many times that a good deal of his mythos are open to interpretation. yummy!
Erestor as galadriel's lover was a nice pick. He would have a character and position much like Celeborn himself- wise, practical, down-to-earth and very at ease with dealing with others more powertful than him. I applaud the choice. The story itself was adorable, in every detail. I greatly enjoyed it.

How lovely! I especially liked the twist, and the meeting with an elfling Teleporno (yes, the name makes me snicker). Now, of course, you must explain what happened, and why Galadriel and Erestor didn't end up together after all. That story could be epic. Smile smiley face

The only "huh?" moment I had was when Teleporno gave her the name. Isn't "Galadriel" Sindarin? And in the Unfinished Tales bit where Teleporno is a Telerin, my guess is that he'd speak Quenya, or somethingn close. Sindarin, I believe, was spoken only in Middle-earth. Or am I way off here? I could be, so please don't take my word for it. And even if I'm right, that doesn't change the fact that this is an adorable scene. Thanks for letting me peek.

I love it. The writing is exquisite. Very well done. I have to admit that Celeborn is one of my two favorite characters from LOTR, however, Erestor is fast becoming a third. He is so cool and collected, I would just love to rattled his calm. Wink smiley face

PS Yes, finish it. It is not like Erestor dies, why did she not wed him?
PSS Quenyan, Sindaran, who cares? In my house, forget pig latin, we speak a LOT of Spanglish.

Lovely! Wonderful! I kept wondering who the elf was all through the story. I must say it was a nice surprise finding out it was Erestor. Actually, I can imagine him being Galadriel´s lover. They make a good match, I think. What a sweet and adorable little elfling Celeborn (I simply can´t call him Teleporno!) was. Laughing smiley face

Btw, the Quenyan form of Galadriel is Altariel.

Very enjoyable! Please, continue!

Sorry, I re-read this and still find it enjoyable. I really like the cool collectiveness of Erestor, although I am not a big fan of Galadriel. Have you given any thought to finishing it to a conclusion? I am sure it would be well received. What if I make some popcorn? Pour some Schnappes? Throw myself on the floor and cry? ROFL smiley face

Okay, I tried. Thanks again.
