#01 - Ring
There was a plain gold band next to the mostly invisible blue ring of power on his finger and yet it meant lifetimes more than the Vilya.

#02 - Hero
He was called a hero for deeds he tought nothing of; noone believed him when he said the hardest thing he ever did was asking her to be his wife.

#03 - Memory
He smiled at the singing birds and turned around to call her, but there was only the memory of Celebrian behind him.

#04 - Box
He packed the clothes, the jewels, and the books into a box; if only he could have been able to pack his emotions away this easily...!

#05 - Run
Too weary and afraid to stay and fight alongside him she choose the cowards' way and stepped onto the white ship.

#06 - Hurricane
Whimpering and clutching the wood railings she felt as if they were in a hurricane and wished for her husband's cool hands and powerful brews he had used to settle her stomach with.

#07 - Wings
He was staring, watching as the ship disappeared into the fog, and even though he knew she won't ever come back he had hoped, she would grew a pair of wings to fly back to him, just like his mother flew to his father.

#08 - Cold
The bed they shared for hundreds of years suddenly felt cold, colder than the white snow falling outside.

#09 - Red
The red flames in the hearth weren't able to replace one's bodyheat but he could always pretend.

#10 - Drink
Sloshing the alcohol around the glass Elrond looked up at his friend, Lord Glorfindel with an arched eyebrow and let him see the miserable state he was in, before asking, "In your experience, does this help?"

#11 - Midnight
She fell into a restless sleep around midnight to the ship's gentle rocking and dreamed about him.

#12 - Temptation
She had tempted him at first with shy glances and careful touches, then she had offered him her heart and body; and this time he had allowed himself the luxury of not resisting the temptation.

#13 - View
His breath had been caught in his troath as he had seen her; he had felt as if a lightning had hit him.

#14 - Music
They had danced all night, even after the musicians had stopped and were gone to sleep just like every other elf aside them but they could have heard the spheras' music in their hearts.

#15 - Silk
He had laid her down on his silk sheets, marveling about the beaty she had presented.

#16 - Cover
However, Celebrían had been impatient and she had pulled him down to cover her naked body with his own.

#17 - Promise
They had promised each other the forever, yet she was not next to him this instant; she felt the tears gathering in her eyes and she let them fall.

#18 - Dream
He woke with a start, the way they met still vivid in his mind, and after a few moments he closed his eyes again hoping the dream would continue.

#19 - Candle
Sitting in his office he dripped the pen into the ink again and as the candle burnt down he wrote the letters he would never send to her.

#20 - Talent
Altough he hadn't been able to heal his wife's wounds he still possessed the greatest talents on Middle-Earth and he could find it in his heart to use this ability to save others from the same faith; for he couldn't blame the innocents for her leaving.

#21 - Silence
Nowadays there wasn't any talk about the Lady Celebrían, nor did he went on addressing her as if she were still there but everyone knew he still missed her.

#22 - Journey
The Fellowship left his house and he wished with all of his heart they won't fell to prey the same way she had; for Aragorn, his son was amongst them and Elrond was unable to bear another loss.

#23 - Fire
He could feel the Eye on Imladris and he kept fighting it; hoping his distraction would be enough for the Fellowship to successed.

#24 - Strength
She waited faithfully for her husband and every time her faith trembled she drew her strenght from her parent-in-laws; for they had fought their own kind, the elements, and even the Valar to be together and if they had been able to do it then so was she!

#25 - Mask
Slowly her forced smiles became more and more real as the wounds had healed entirely and she had no need for her mask anymore.

#26 - Ice
She listened to the stories about how her mother left the West through the ice and the desire to follow in her footsteps arised; however, the Valas had torn apart the worlds and she was forced to stay where she was.

#27 - Fall
Sauron's end wasn't because of the Aragorn, prince Legolas, or Gimli, it wasn't even because of the hobbits but for Smeagol; the One Ring melted away and the evil spirit was banished and Elrond was at least free to leave.

#28 - Forgotten
He had all but forgot the White City, its White Tree and their magnificant sight; and now he was here again to commit the place and its people one last time into his memory.

#29 - Dance
Elrond spun his daughter around making her long skirt fly and her laugh was so full of happiness that he couldn't help but hold her close and whisper his fatherly love into her ears.

#30 - Body
He could notice the delicate changes in her body; how the almost invisible, thin crinkles appeared next to her eyes and he knew it was a choice he couldn't change; just like he had been unable to change his brother's or his wife's choices.

#31 - Sacred
His daughter and his step-son made their sacred wovs and he gave them his blessing; and when he remembered Arwen wasn't only his daughter but Celebrían's too it was too late.

#32 - Farewells
He said his farewells, kissed his children one last time and stepped onto the white ship to follow his wife.

#33 - World
Leaving behind a world was hard but he knew it was to find another; one where the sadness wasn't sharp but the joy could owerwhelm one's heart and still he feared what would he find once he arrived.

#34 - Formal
He bowed to her, kissing her hand as if they had met for the first time; he was painfully formal, hiding his hopes and fears behind this wall and she couldn't help the tiny flash of pain she felt at this.

#35 - Fever
It was unheard of, an elf catching the fevers but still, her brow sweated from the inner flames which were fed by her uncertainity about Elrond's feelings.

#36 - Laugh
Once, she had been asked why was she giving up everything for a half-breed and of all the reasons she had had she had been only able to say, "he makes me laugh"; now she felt like crying.

#37 - Lies
"Everything will be alright, she's already healing," they said but he knew it was a lie; for it was a lie half a millenia ago, too.

#38 - Forever
He knelt beside her, holding her delicate hand in his own and he was unable to comprehend forever without her.

#39 - Overwhelmed
When she woke up feeling well, he proclaimed his love, again and again, and before she could have been able to answer he kissed her softly then caressed her body until she was gasping his name and then, only then did he make love to her.

#40 - Whisper
They whispered sweet nothings into each others' pointed ears, letting all who saw know they were in love.

#41 - Wait
He didn't speak about their children and she had waited long enough without asking; now she wanted to know, now that their personal wait ended.

#42 - Talk
He told her everything, how he had groomed the young boy into the handsome man, how Arwen's heart had been captured by the ruffled hair and sly smile; how he had blessed their union.

#43 - Search
She distracted herself by showing her husband around in the island, letting him meet with his parents long last; still, he couldn't help but look for the brightest star in the sky, his father every night as he had done for the last six thousands years.

#44 - Hope
It was Ëarendil's words that gave back their hope; for their twins were still able to follow Elrond into the West.

#45 - Eclipse
Content Celebrían drew small, unperfect circles onto his skin and kissed him again; there was peace and love in their hearts.

#46 - Gravity
Elrond watched his father's ship and couldn't help but wonder what happened to the gravitation around it but then Celebrían took his hand between her smaller palms and his mind forgot all toughts but her.

#47 - Highway
They rode out into the hills and made love with much laugh and many kisses; and they both claimed an invisible highwayman had made them roll in the grass when Galadriel asked.

#48 - Unknown
It took her some time before her memories surfaced and she was able to let her worry slip away; for the changes in her body were far from unknown...

#49 - Lock
She had locked her door for two nights and for the third he was reduced to begging before Celebrían let him inside and shared her news.

#50 - Breathe
He breathed in her smell and smiled with happiness, letting his hand rest on her stomach.
