A Lay of Luthien by Himring

Fanwork Notes

This was written for the Contronym challenge on Tolkien Weekly.
Contronyms are words that have opposite meaning. The six contronyms were: bolt, cleave, bound, fast, weather, dust.

The format encouraged me to go shamelessly overboard with multiple uses of those words and word play!

Reference to canonical character deaths, mostly non-graphic (mild gore).

Huan appears, but perhaps not enough to tag.

The word "cleave" memorably occurs in the conversation between Arwen and Aragorn on Cerin Amroth. Here is an adaptation of that conversation for Luthien and Beren.
