B2MeM Prompt, Card and Number: I20: Who now shall refill the cup for me? (192. Tolkien Quotes) [Tagging mods: I created the card tag. Could you check?]
Format: drabble
Genre: romance, humour
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Characters: Celeborn, Galadriel
Pairings: Celeborn / Galadriel
Creator’s Notes: Also written for a prompt from tolkien100: The Straight Road.
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.

*laughs* I really like this, Himring! Celeborn, really, try and be more dignified if you're going to meet Varda. It's good he has Galadriel to keep him from messing about too much. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed this, Kaylee!
Celeborn is going to be very polite when he actually meets Varda. He's just teasing his wife a bit!

I love this teasing Celeborn!

[hhimring]

I'm glad Celeborn appealed to you in this mood! Thank you!

They're adorable together.

[hhimring]

Thank you very much!

Excellent - they still have their sense of humor after everything, and their love for each other come through clearly.

Both their love of each other and their sense of humour have come through, even after all they have been through!
Thank you, Erulisse!

The tag looks good!

I like this -- it's sweet to see them teasing each other.

[hhimring]

Thank you very much for checking!
And I'm glad you enjoyed the teasing!

A most enjoyable reunion.

Thank you very much, Linda!

Hehehe, I love how this plays on Galadriel's lament. Your Galadriel and Celeborn are adorable.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my playful take on Galadriel's lament!
I wanted to make it about reunion, this time, rather than separation...
