A Pale Moon Rises

Time to recommend another fic. Fading Unto Night, by Lisette, is a beautiful, poignant, bittersweet story about Arwen's end. If you enjoyed the incredible Thundera Tiger's Beyond This World (or even your humble poster's lesser Mellyn) this is a story for you. Where I sort of brushed over Arwen and went on to everyone's favorite Elf and Dwarf, Lisette pulls no punches in showing us the bitter that Arwen must reap after her six-score years of sweet. It will choke you up and make you smile and maybe bring a tear to your eye--or quite a bit more if you cry easier than desert-eyed moi does. It's beautifully written and seemlessly melds lovely visuals with a few lines from Tolkien and pieces of "Into the West" with a very delightful turn of phrase. I suggest playing said song while you read it, but if you do, have some tissues handy just in case. Simply a beautiful story and well worth the short read!
