Haudh-en-Arwen

Haudh-en-Arwen by jane_ways (AO3 - 2,400 words)

Fandom: The Lord of the Rings/The Silmarillion

Relationship: Caranthir/Haleth of the Haladin

Summary:

"It is the night before Haleth is to be buried, and Caranthir alone sits by the fire. Haudh-en-Arwen, they call it. The Lady-barrow. He turns the words over in his thoughts, in his mouth, and the sounds feel foreign on his tongue." Love and death according to a Noldo and a Drúadan.

Notes: a lovely elegy for a doomed romance

Aragorn greets the birth of his first child with trepidation and doubt, but Gimli helps restore his faith in Legolas, himself, and their future. "Proud fool," Gimli muttered, stalking along as fast as his short legs would allow. "Should never have let him continue on this quest. You never should have let him join us to begin with!" He gave another accusatory look to Aragorn. "Had I known he was with child, I might not have!" Aragorn snapped, stabbing his walking stick into the ground and continuing on, watching Legolas's back ruefully. from Diigo http://ift.tt/1XklENt via IFTTT
