tolkien100Title : Leaves of Gold
Author : Himring
Fandom : Silmarillion
Rating : G
Characters : Arien, Turgon
Disclaimer : Laurelin is Tolkien's Tree. And Turgon and Arien are Tolkien's also.
Spoilers : None.
Summary: Laurelin, the Golden Tree of Aman, as seen by Arien and remembered by Turgon
Laurelin’s leaves glitter. Arien catches the gold that spills from a cluster of flowers in her cupped palms, feeling the warmth run up her arms, then allows the liquid light to drip into the vat below. She wonders why the elves of Tirion asked for a tree in the image of pale Telperion only. How could anyone not prefer Laurelin? And preferring Laurelin, how could they be content with an image, when they could be closer?
Turgon sighs. Glingal is finished. For a while, working on his image of Laurelin with mind and hands, he was back home in Valinor.
A/N: The tree Yavanna made in the image of Telperion is the ancestor ot the White Tree of Gondor. Arien's devotion to Laurelin led to her becoming the Maia of the Sun. Glingal, the image Turgon made of Laurelin, was in Gondolin.
