Yikes, what a place to have to stop reading!

This is a fascinating story, which I have much enjoyed. I shall now have to read all of your others to see how they fit together while I await in hope a fresh chapter of this one ;-)

Author Reply: This story is taking a bit longer than I'd hoped to finish, so please bear with me! I hope to have the next chapter finished soon, although I'm working on chapters to two other stories at the moment. So glad you enjoy this one--it has been close to my heart for many years, and I want so to get to the end of it, which has literally been finished for at least five years! Heh!

Well, you certainly pulled no punches with this chapter, Larner!

Rape leaves its mark on the mind and body of the survivor, but often being forced to carry the result of the rape to term is another form of rape. I consider Celebrķan'sreactions in this chapter quite realistic, more so since she is an Elf. And for her, having to kill her companion, even though it would have been necessary, and even a blessing, would have just been an agonizing cherry on top a cake of horror and nightmares.
Hm. Perhaps you could write a fic about Celebrķan meeting a reembodied Celestiė in Aman? Depending of how much time you see Elves need to spend in Mandos, I guess meeting her again would either help in Celebrķan's healing, or finalizing it. :slips bunny into a crowded hutch: ;-)

Author Reply: Hmm. May do just that someday, Sunny! And I just DON'T need any more plotbunnies! Tallis keeps sending me so many, and it's impossible to do all of them, I fear. Heh!

As for rape--have seen some friends who've gone through absolute agony merely remembering being raped. It would have been a horrible dilemma for Elrond to be faced with, too, both ethically as a healer and as a husband to a rape victim.

Thanks so very much!
