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.
