karanguni: (Imai TSUBASA)
The things Yuletide will do to me. I flex my writing muscles outside of my normal fandom! WHAT. Written in one sitting, this hopefully will not make Tolkien roll around in his grave (too much).

Written for Jedi Buttercup!

Title: Reunification (Yuletide NYR2008)
Fandom: The Silmarillion with references to The Lord of the Rings
Characters: Elrond, Gil-Galad, cameo by Glorfindel and even more cameo-ish cameo by "Aragorn".
Rating: G
Warnings: I haven't exactly gone canon-dipping for a while. *sheepish*

Roughly 1700 words, but I don't trust Microsoft.


Reunification )

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
