Oh, lovely. Not enough is written about these two. They are so complicated and intriguing. Why, for instance, did Celeborn marry an elf who he knew longed for other shores? Did he think that he could give her what she wanted in Middle-earth, so that she would not pine for her home? Did he think he failed, when at last she left? Your story indicates that he wasn't disappointed, that his love for her was greater than the space that would separate them. That's a pretty big concept to swallow, but you've put a chocolate coating on it, to make it go down better. What a fantastic piece.

the only thing I regret about this fic is that's short. However, the mastery in which you wrote Celeborn makes up to it- I can't help myself when I see him well drawn.
Yes, I can see galadriel keeping her things for herself even if she knew that Celeborn would know right away. Very Happy smiley face

A great piece.

Loved this! I am not very knowledgeable about Celeborn and Galadriel in particular and was greatly intrigued by your portrait of her as flawed by ambition, and then to focus on the loss of power being the inability to preserve what she loved - really great. Suddenly he seems so steady and timeless and she more mercurial - a very provacative portrait, I think.

Very nicely worded. I like the picture you've drawn, not just of their character's and personalities, but of their union and their bond. Very thoughtful and thought-provoking. I really liked it.

Touching. Very emotional pair, those two.
I like your wording.
And I've always liked Celeborn and Galadriel.
