Title: Starlight, Moonlight, light my sky tonight
Author: Himring
Character: Celeborn, Tom Bombadil
Rating: G
Source: Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion
Disclaimer: Celeborn, Tom Bombadil, and the Blue Mountains are all Tolkien's and the photo prompt was by Anerea. Himring added a moment of respite.

The Blue Mountains lay peacefully, blue as their name, under a sky of a more intense blue than they. Above them hovered the moon, too hazy to obscure the light of myriads of stars.

Celeborn drew a deep breath. Beside him, Tom had fallen silent.

Morgoth, Celeborn felt, was gone-not captive only, but gone from Arda. This night, the Valar must have thrust him Outside.

Despite their losses, despite the Marring, almost it felt once again as Tom had told: the dark under the stars when it was fearless-before Morgoth came from Outside.

‘A new Age,’ Celeborn said.

A/N: Written for Anerea and B2MeM, for a photo prompt Anerea had provided, incorporating the Tolkien Weekly prompts.
