Rivendell, Day 19, write a story or create a piece of artwork centered on meetings or reunions. (This one is a very soft R-rated piece.) I always wondered what Lúthien saw in that grubby unwashed Beren. Shallow person that I am, I figured he had to have been hot and had a sense of humor at very least.

I know exactly what you mean. If I was going to write this story, I had to create a Beren I could like. Both of them left me rather cold in the canon interpretations. The Lay of Leithian is not exactly a lively read for me--style and vocabulary questions. As you know I like a little humor with my PWP.

I just love this ficlet - Beren and Luthien are one of my favorite Tolkien couples, and though I've never thought that Luthien was sexually experienced when she first met him, you've made that notion work wonderfully here.  Luthien is mature, wise, and also excited by something, and someone, new in her carefully bordered environment.  I love the mutual tenderness mixed with lust, and Beren's confidence and determination to be Luthien's one and only...

Reposting my MEFA review:

An excellent description of the first meeting of Lúthien and Beren. I agree with Oshun that there must have been some strong attraction for Lúthien to choose him over all the other lovelies in her father's court and I like the way she finds Beren's human beauty and "newness" appealing. I also appreciate Oshun's idea that Lúthien is experienced and yet rather guilelessly frank in what she says to Beren.
