Fanwork Notes
This story is also published on AO3, but I felt that it belongs here, too. Huge thanks to Papertigress for both a critical betaing eye and a fun discussion!
The title is taken from Shakespeare’s Sonnet No. 45:

Narvi's canonical gender leaves room for interpretation. Much as I love slash, I chose to portray her as a dwarf lady because we meet too few of them in Tolkien's works. Besides, I like how a dwarrowdam clashes violently with elven (or human) beauty ideals.
Oh, and this is a crossover with the Hobbit movies, which I love for their depiction of Dwarven culture. (Not tagging crossover because it's still Tolkien.)
