Thought of another great fanfic that fits with this chapter! I'd forgotten the title ("something with willow?") and the computer on which I bookmarked it has been broken for a long time... but I managed to find it again. Phew!

Title: Oak and Willow by Marnie (http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?stid=1559)
Type of Fanwork: Novel
Length (if applicable): < 50,000
Rating: Gen
Warnings: n/a
Summary: Galadriel spends time in Doriath and meets a nice young man... and then, family history interferes.
Why I enjoyed it (optional): To be honest, Celeborn is not a character that moved me in the books (more like "Prince Valium"). This story, however, makes him sympathetic and interesting. Marnie's Doriath is very well imagined, and I don't think I've seen any other stories about Galadriel from the Sindarin perspective!
