Have you ever read Deborah Judge? I consider her one of the best "old school" Silm writers (writing circa the early 2000s), and for some reason I'm just not as fond of the newer wave of fan authors, though many of them write about characters I like. She has two Celegorm-centric stories that slayed me on reading: The Guardians of the Walls (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/848536/1/The-Guardian-of-the-Walls) and Dispossed (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/854402/1/Dispossessed).

Both stories concern "the failed romance of Aredhel and Celegorm", so have caution if that's not your thing. The sequel is more interesting, as it features a dialogue between Celegorm and the captive Luthien.

There are other fics I've also liked but none I find quite as haunting as this portrayal.

Thank you! I do remember Deborah Judge's fics (especially 'As Little Might Be Thought') so I'll try these.

Man, that fic is great. I like it that she's always able to walk that fine line separating "this character is interesting, albeit morally ambiguous/repugnant" and "this character is a misunderstood woobie", which is the sentiment newer fics tend to go with.

Yep - lots of misunderstood woobies sons of Fëanor these days, which I'm not much fond of. I like that this fic doesn't fall into the perfectly-fluffy-foster-family-fic-(kinslaying-what-kinslaying) thing. And blimey, rereading just now, her Elrond is heart-wrenching.

Aw, you placed the umlaut in Feanor's name! (Haha, kill me.)

I adore her Elrond, and just Elrond period, he must be my longest-loved Tolkien character. When I Am Wise is another story I always think of when I read Deborah, though it hurts so much.
