#i greatly prefer Sauron being way more obsessed with Celebrimbor than Celebrimbor is with him initially

My flavour of Silvergifting is not Celebrimbor being heads over heels for Annatar while Annatar only pretends. It's Annatar being absolutely obsessively consumed with Celebrimbor and his work and not leaving his side for a moment until Celebrimbor falls for him.

Celebrimbor greatly appreciates that the Valar sent him this beautiful Emissary, and he certainly finds him lovely but he's a little bit too clingy sometimes, he just keeps staring at him, it's a bit unnerving. He falls for him eventually but it takes a while.

Meanwhile Annatar is obsessed with earning Celebrimbor's full affection, he knows he can't flounder him like Melkor did with Feanor. And then there's another layer with him planning to ensnare Celebrimbor and the Eregion elves with the Rings, he is NOT normal about him.
