Author : Himring
Fandom : The Lord of the Rings

Characters : Celeborn, Galadriel
Disclaimer : All Tolkien's, except for a bit of disrespect
Spoilers : Well, it's set after the end of LOTR.
Summary : Celeborn arrives in Valinor and finds himself in Varda's halls as a guest for the first time.


‘Well, here we are,’ said Celeborn. ‘Lofty halls, blue vaults, queenly voice—all present and correct!’

Galadriel gave him a dignified punch in the arm.

‘Don’t worry, I’ll behave—except to you, of course!’

‘I know,’ said Galadriel. He heard a faint tremor in her voice. ‘Have I said how glad I am you chose the Straight Road, at last?’

‘It did seem to be implied,’ replied Celeborn.

What a relief still to be necessary as much as ever.

Celeborn plaintively lifted his cup.

‘Who now shall refill the cup for me?’

‘I will!’

And she snatched it from him.


A/N: This was also written for a B2MeM prompt: Who now shall refill the cup for me?
There are other allusions to "Namarie" in the drabble.
