And She Forgave His Betraying Word
There Dairon grieving often stood
in sorrow for the captive of the wood,
and melodies made upon his flute
leaning against a grey tree-root.
Lúthien would from her windows stare
and see him far under piping there,
and she forgave his betraying word
for the music and the grief she heard,
and only Dairon would she let
across her threshold foot to set.Lay of Leithian, lines 1398-1407
As Lúthien prepares to make her escape from Hírilorn, Daeron visits her for the last time.

a Curufin/Eol remix written by @polutrope for my story Shining Black in the @tolkienremix
Eöl is ill-at-ease after an encounter with the first Elf to elude his piercing mind. That there is much to link him and Curufin, including their shared craft, a friendship with the Dwarves, and the fact he carries a knife made of Eöl’s metal, only unsettles - and allures - him all the more. | MATURE, Curufin/Eöl, Eöl & Telchar, tags: blacksmithing, nature magic, complicated relationships, elf-dwarf relationships, hate sex.
