Watery Grave by Ijemanja (PG-13)

Fandom: LOTR
Pairing: hints of Arwen/Goldberry
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read:

It's two, two, two underused characters in one story! Arwen faces her grief and mortality, and finds Goldberry beneath the fading trees of Lorien.

If you don't care for femslash, don't let that stop you from enjoying this lovely vignette, since it can easily be read as gen: it's all in whether you put your slash goggles on, or not.

Goldberry is laughing now, or perhaps it is the joyful babbling of the brook - that Arwen only just now notices is still joyful, despite everything - or perhaps they are one and the same. She comes up out of the water, until it only reaches her ankles, and holds her hands out for Arwen to take.

'Come and swim,' she invites, laughing again, 'The water is cold and beautiful.'

p.s. I'll be away for the long weekend with no computer access, so expect my next rec sometime on Tuesday.
