Title: In The Silent Night
Characters: Arwen, Aragorn, their children
Summary: The morning is for her husband, the afternoon for her children, the evening for her court, but the night... the night is for her.
The morning is for her husband, the early sun reflecting in his eyes so that the shadows flee before him, his lips warm with the promise of the day.
The afternoon is for her children, for the ones she has and for the one that will come in spring, for their laughter, their tears, their hair flying and feet scampering in their games, their heads a warm weight on her shoulder as she tells them stories and songs.
The evening is for her court, where she grasps threads and weaves them into the fabric of Gondor to improve and strengthen it, as she did to make the standard of her king.
But often she wakes in the silent night, and slipping from her bed she sits under Elbereth's stars, and that time is for her. There she recalls other homes, other places, other friends and family, not in regret, but to remember the life she once led.
