They slid from the bench into the yielding green of an Imladris spring, no longer guarded by old enchantment, yet numinous still in the unfurling leaves' and emerging blossoms' newness.
Eowyn lay enraptured in her Elven lover's arms:
"It was but yesterday when the finest fingers cupped my chin, and but a breath above the Bruinen's song, you said,
'Think you the Evenstar's love so faint, it cannot shine on you as well?'
I was stunned beyond all reckoning."
Arwen smiled, "We share so much--our troubles, the burdens of our peoples. Why not this joy? Why not this joy?"

*Like many other folks in fandom, I have some issues with the term "femslash," for making the feminine the marked category once again. Personally, I'd prefer "slash" to be an all-inclusive term for any romantic/sexual/bonded pairing or groupings written by fans of a text/performance/public persona, even including het and relations between beings of any currently designated or imagined genders, or lack thereof. But I do recognize that in current use in online fandom, it seems to be used more often to refer to male/male pairings, hence the marked designation for female/female pairings, and the lack of widely used designations for any gender variations that don't fit those designations neatly. So I'm working with what we've got while I grumble about it.

In the particular world I'm imagining this story being set in, Arwen has come to love Eowyn, and still loves Aragorn. Though Arwen and Eowyn are new at being lovers with each other here, Aragorn and Arwen's pairing is not exclusive. Though I don't know much about any of these characters' sexualities yet, Aragorn and Arwen are a trusted prime pairing, so I'm not imagining an exclusive or even prime lesbian pairing between Arwen and Eowyn here, though it could be if set in another world. Aragorn has other lovers as well. Eowyn and Faramir have problems--big barriers to work out. This world is contiguous with my current "Bingo in Tol Eressea" storyline. All of the Fellowship have been lovers--those cold nights on Caradhras and piling blankets together and everyone so fond of each other and under fire, it was inevitable, and no big deal. And Bingo has been lovers quest/post-quest with Aragorn, Arwen, and Faramir at different times in the past, though he does have a prime pairing with Sam, but Sam is still with Rosie right now, her prime pairing. Being with Rosie and Sam wasn't working out for Bingo (more because of his PTSD than jealousies and barriers and sex wasn't the problem here), hence Sam's being split in two because he needs both these hobbits as prime. Sam will sail, but hasn't yet.
So that's the setting. In our next episode of "All My Hobbitlings" . . . (-;
