Unfading memory makes for difficult nights, sometimes. I wonder if Galadriel's mother ever sings her down the dream paths . . . .

I did!

Somehow I can't see Galadiel admitting, even to her mother, that she has disturbed nights. But I can see her mother wanting to 'mother' her and Galadriel, just occasionally, giving in!

I could see healers being very quietly and privately concerned that she was too locked into being the strong and gracious Lady to acknowledge that she'd been through literal wars, and could accept some comfort without anyone thinking less of her for it, especially with her husband on the other side of the Water.

I agree. Having her daughter there might help - but then Celebrian has her husband to worry about. I hope she does allow herself comfort and the occasional moment of weakness. I would like to think of her mother and grandmother spending time with her at the sea because I think that would help.

Some nights he dreams in red...

Great first line! I like this set - they have a contemplative air.

Thank you. That was the line that was suddenly there - and once I had it I knew I had to use it.

These are beautiful. The mortals who envy the seemingly-serene long-lived elves can't imagine the long-lived agonies that go along with the 'gift'.

Thank you - that is it exactly!

I am still trying to decide who might dream in green, blue and purple.
