Oak and Willow  by Marnie 3 Review(s)

Hi,
I love your story of Galadriel and Celeborn!!! It is awesome. I couldn't put it down and wrested the internet connection out of my internet provider's arms to continue to read it. (The tiring connection, likes to desert me when it is most unhelpful.)
Will you write a sequel? I would so like to know what happens now. Their view of Luthien and Beren's story and the Fall of Gondolin and Doriath.
I really like your writing style and how you portray the characters.
Love to read more
Allacaya

Author Reply: Hello! Thanks for the review, Allacaya! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sadly, I did start doing a sequel but ran out of inspiration when I realized that it had to cover all the misery of the First Age. I found I simply couldn't bear to write about Luthien and Beren, and I couldn't manage the First Age without them. I can highly recommend Bejai's stuff for the Second Age though! And then I pick up the story again in the Third age with 'Battle of the Golden Wood.'

Thanks again!

Marnie :-)

Involuntarily she took a step forward, drawn, her mood lightened merely by looking on him. He was elegant even in disorder, long limbs sprawled. His hair, like water in starlight, trailed across cheek and chest, glimmering as he breathed. Tendrils pooled in the hollow of his throat, leading her eye to the fair skin shadowed by the open neck of his tunic. >


Ah, the vision of this powerful, regal elflord, Celeborn, so vulnerable and helpless before the fire of his love, resigned to dispair, yet such beauty and innocence. Of course, elves are endlessly appealing; facets of their personalities sparkling like gems, some blinding like Anor, others muted as starlight. Thank you for the enduring vision of the Lord Celeborn.

Author Reply: Thanks, Eruanneth! It was one of those moments when I let my inner fangirl slip :) Normally he tells me he can't be having with any of that stuff, and forbids me to write him as beautiful as he really is. This time I sneaked it in while he was asleep ;)

God this is great! Again, Galadriel's contemplation of everything that happened was so powerful. And then the image of Galadriel looking at a sleeping Celeborn just had me breathless. And when he woke up! I can't take time to write anymore. I want to get on to the next chapter.
