All Comments on 'Eowyn: The Cage - Ch. 06b'

While I'm not crazy about the story concept, the idea of Eowyn sexing with someone as foul and repellant as Wormtongue seems pretty disgusting, however I really do dig the detail and particularly this line:

"ohhhh, Béma forgive me, I do want this."

Non Elven religion is otherwise nearly absent in LOTR.

This was a nice addition.

You'll be as relieved as I am to know that there's no more sex with Wormtongue. This was the last chapter of it. He influences a fair bit of what's to come, but his actual presence has ended.

As for the Béma reference: thank you. I struggled a bit with the fact that none of the characters could justifiably call out "oh God" and so forth, as they might in a different setting. But calling out the names of random Vala didn't work all that well either, and referring to Eru in a sexual context just felt wrong...especially, as you say, because Tolkien's Men almost never refer to religion. I lucked out in that Oromë has a specific link to the Rohirrim, and while I generally tried to minimize their appearance, both Béma and Nahar do come up from time to time.
