I am in the midst of reading this chapter while collecting references to narrators, etc. and it struck me while doing so what a badass Luthien is. Tolkien cloaks her (pun. ha.) in this fairy-tale glamour, but I imagine she was more than capable of being just like you show her here. After all, this is a woman who brought Sauron to his knees.

A stunning, surprising, heretical piece--I love it! :)

Oh what perfect timing! It's been a long time since I read this story all the way through, but just reminding myself of what actually happens in it, I had a hard time reconsiling the fairy-tale glamour, as you say, with Luthien's actual actions. So I had to do this version. :D

Thank you for a wonderful comment!
