WIP snippet

Ever since I first realized the Legolas/Gimli parallels in the Song of Nimrodel - the song Legolas sings outside Lothlórien - I’ve been absolutely obsessed with it, and since this story probably won’t be finished for like a year if ever (too many projects, too many life needs, too much) I decided I needed to share an excerpt so you can at least have Feelings with me.

I also highly recommend this arrangement of the song by Yolanda Mott, an actual human siren who has done several gorgeous renditions of Tolkien songs.
