My big table.

Claim: Tolkien verse (novels) : General Series
Prompt: 19. Dark.
Title: Musings in the Dark
Author: Carole
Characters: Aragorn/Denethor, Aragorn/Arwen, Aragorn/Boromir
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: A very different take on Aragorn. It's a good read because it sways beyond Tolkien's heroic idealism and gives a very different, highly political and calculistic version of the events. Yet, I don't feel it would offend a Tolkien fan. What she has done with him reminds me of what Marion Zimmer Bradley did to the Arturian Cycle: twisted, turned and made it perfecly verisimilar. Archived in the Library of Moria.
