Oh my! Such a detailed and completely convincing AU! It is amazing--partly in the way you convince us (or me, at any rate), despite the change of Nirnaeth to Glas, that things are going the way they did according to canon--and so the heart breaks in fearing disaster with Morwen, breaks again when the disaster fails to happen--that revelation so artfully delayed, I was convinced she was hearing Brodda and the Easterlings coming up on those horses! But of course it is really the hoofbeat of Arroch that she was listening for... And then the heart breaks again at the thought that this tentative, hesitant happiness isn't canon... That new, alternative name for Nienor! And that last line and its change from "she was" to "we were"! (And just in case you're wondering at my obliviousness--yes, I had read that summary. I suppose I know my canon too well, here--like Morwen herself, I found it difficult to believe!)
