The Éowyn+Morwen fic snippet!
May. 30th, 2019 04:14 pmAragorn was not the first Númenórean Éowyn ever saw. That honour belonged to Morwen of Lossarnach, a near kinswoman of the Prince of Dol Amroth.
She did not remember the seeing, of course; the face of her mother’s mother had become a familiar one before her earliest memories ever formed. But she remembered the Morwen of later days well enough: proud, graceful, and tall, taller than the king, with strong fingers and bright piercing eyes—queenly as well as queen. Éowyn used to tug at her hair, fascinated by the intermixture of black and silver, which lasted until nearly the end. She liked to listen to her, too: the queen spoke at least three tongues, and in each of them, the firm assurance of her tone joined with a soft Gondorian lilt.
Not quite so clearly, Éowyn remembered Morwen as more cautious than her husband, less inclined to swift judgment, and less inclined to change it afterwards; the Eorlingas had called her Steelsheen for her strange beauty and grace, but it suited her down to the bone.

Anyway.
