Fandom: Lord of the Rings | Pairing: Éowyn/Rosie Cotton | Rating: T | Length: 0:09:34 | Summary: There had been many battles won by the teeth of the shieldmaidens, but the men who ruled Rohan said that wolves and horses were ill-suited to one another. Men rode horses, of course, and they put them on their banners, and they slaughtered the wild wolves that roamed the plains and stuck their furs to the city walls in warning.
Shieldmaidens withdrew from the wars of men. Their great power, they decided, was only for themselves and whomever they deemed worthy.
