A/N: A second attempt at the nightingale prompt, as the Birds challenge has since taken a different direction for me than I expected. Arwen lays a ghost--no, not exactly a ghost...
Arwen awoke because she heard the nightingale sing-or maybe did not wake, but she got out of bed, climbing through the window onto the terrace, wandering through the warm summer night, following its call, until she came to a glade she had never seen before-or maybe it just looked unfamiliar in the moonlight… As she strayed among the hemlocks, the song started again, but this time she knew it was not a bird.
She danced, he sang, hours together, until she stopped.
‘Luthien!’ he sobbed, ‘Tinuviel!’
‘Not I,’ answered Arwen.’But you, you are Daeron. Go now! Be free…’
