| Finrod, Finarfin, Earwen, Celebrian... in one story... about something I have often wondered about...and an effortless pleasure to read. Finarfin and Earwen I had guessed but Finrod was a very pleasant surprise (considering I have read nearly everything on the internet with him as a character and was not expecting him in this one). The reunion was outstanding. You covered a great deal of ground with elegant efficiency. For some odd reason, I have never pictured Celebrian as especially beautiful but your picture of her has replaced that misconception. I am eager to see how you flesh her out. To what muse do I send the Krispy Kreme doughnuts? Inglor | |

| I have to do this quickly because I'm on a shaky wireless connection in a hotel in Texas! It's hard to realize how complete a change this was for Celebrian. I admire her courage. | |

| Now surely you know that any story that has Finarfin *and* Finrod is okay by me. ;) It's a lovely first chapter, with believable but not sickeningly angsty emotions. I like the hints to the deeper past: the dolphin fountain, Celebrian's memories of her children when they were small, the kumquats in the courtyard. (Weren't there also kumquats in the courtyard in "Fire Ascending"?) And you write nobility very well--quite differently than me--but some of the most believable of any author that I read. I look forward to further chapters! | |
