Celebrían leaving Rivendell

[bunn.livejournal.com]

B2MeM Challenge: Celebrían's capture and torture by orcs, and subsequent departure to Valinor, was a heartbreaking loss that deeply affected her family. At the same time, her departure must have affected not only those close to her, but the entirety of Rivendell.

Creator’s Notes: I looked through other art showing Celebrían, and they all showed her with enormous, amazing, gorgeous, high-maintenance hair.  But that didn't seem to fit someone traumatised, who was leaving her family and home to seek healing.  So I have made her bald.  She can ride though - it's hard to see how she would get out of Rivendell to the Havens without being able to ride a horse. And the bright star is Eärendil, watching.
Creator’s Apologetic mumblings: I meant to link to the original prompt, but I lost it.  And I meant to post this weeks ago and do a companion piece of Elrond, but work ate my time.  You can click to embiggen though?

*sniff* That's very poignant.

you just have to hope she found healing in Valinor...

If you're interested in reading a very short, very AU scene, I wrote a story years ago in which chapter 1 relates how Celebrían receives the final healing of her heart and spirit. VERY AU, but very happy. 600 words.
