Long-Awaited  by PSW 27 Review(s)

I can well imagine this realization hitting him..."But I SAW you die two ages of the Sun ago! You can't be--oh, but that was THERE...." Likely to be very disconcerting seeing more rehoused Elves than just Glorfindel.

Love the realization that life could easily become stodgy in the Undying Lands.

Author Reply: This is something I truly wonder about - do the Elves from Middle Earth get bored there? I realize it isn’t as if the Undying Lands are completely free of strife and the need to prove/test oneself. Still, I can see things getting dull quickly for Elves used to the uncertainty of life in Middle Earth…

Thx as always for reading! :-)

Ah, but I find myself leaving a second review. Love the Maia's self-reveal here. And a Hobbit feast on arrival would be most heartening and of a homely nature that he must anticipate with interest, as a Hobbit's homely state is much different from that of an Elf.

It was tall and strong and beautiful, festooned with ribbons and lights, stately as the most venerable of Elves and playful as the youngest Hobbit child.

I love that, and this gentle meal among friends and loved ones will (hopefully) be one more step in settling Celeborn's unease.

How I love hobbits. *happy grin*

Author Reply: They are indeed such fun - I can just picture the Shire mallorn all decked out for a Hobbit party! Thx as always for reading!

You didn't disappoint me! Hooray! Love me these Hobbits! In my-verse Celeborn accompanies Sam to Tol Eressea, andthe two Hobbits linger only to Midsummer in the mortal lands, this being enough for the two of them. At least they have proper accommodations for their race.

I am so glad to see you posting here again. I'd missed your unique take on the Master's world!

Author Reply: I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. Thx so much for your comments! :-) I don’t have as much time for writing these days, but I do like to get back to it when I can. Isn’t it fun how many different little tales people come up with for these open spaces in the legendarium? Love hearing people’s ideas …

Wise he has been, and wise he is to follow her lead now. Is it a Hobbit he meets now? I'd so love to see that....

Had not thought of Amroth as the son of Celeborn and Galadriel. Interesting thought. Love the idea of Nimrodel's vigel and Vwire's compassion. Love the meeting of husband and wife, and his perception that all seems more real here.

Indeed a test for him, to meet and face her family. I rejoice that she meets him without the stress of others this time.

this little enclave of the Shire

Hooray! If anything can bring amusement and grounding to Celeborn in this delicate time, it's the teasing of hobbits and their unconditional friendship. Thank you for joining me in my belief that the hobbits enjoyed long and happy lives in the West.

Author Reply: Indeed, I agree! This visit will be quite good for him - Hobbit friendship is definitely the thing to help him along. ;-) Thx so much for commenting, I always appreciate it!
