The Wisdom of Isildur by Marnie

I love the way you write Celeborn! He definitely lives up to his title of "Wise," and I like how Elrond seems young next to him. The line about his relationship with Oropher was great; it makes me want to know more about the two of them.

I love all the descriptions, too. They really get across a lot of different moods throughout the story. Especially in the first part, when Elrond is barely holding it together.

Celeborn's anger over Oropher and Amdir not even rating a mention was great to read, and tragic. 

"In truth it was easier to quarrel than to speak calmly; it held the tears off more straitly."

That line was heart-wrenching. And Celeborn's description of what keeping the ring was like was chilling and fascinating. His breakdown of Elrond's right to the kingship was equally interesting.

Great story!
