B2MeM Prompt and Category:Fanwork Prompt:
Create a fanwork inspired by a favorite song or other piece of music.

"But the songs wither, and the world worsens." ("The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorthelm's Son")
Format: ficlet? I think.
Genre: songfic
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Deaths, and mention of deaths, abound. This is a happy song, but not such a happy fic ☹
Characters: Elu, Melian, Daeron, Luthien, Carcharoth, OCs (Melian and Carcharoth were the generator’s contribution)
Pairings: Elu/Melian, OC pairings
Creator’s Notes (optional): So this is late. I’m sorry ☹ I’ve been trying to post them every day on the day and I broke my streak. But while playing SongPop this morning in order to wake up, Faith Hill’s “Wild One” came on, and yeah…This takes place in mine and Emma (AfricanDaisy)’s AU. It references her tale "Elnineth", where Thranduil hears the tale of his great-aunt Alethril's fate.
Summary: The royal and noble society of Doriath is patriarchal in the extreme. Ellyn give commands and their ellith – wives, daughters, sisters, nieces, cousins – are expected to follow. But every generation, or so, there’s a wild one…

I didn’t include all the lyrics (which I disclaim as Faith Hill’s, obviously) so here’s the song:
