And this is it, guys! The last part of this series. Thanks for bearing with me through it all.

Title: Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair, Pt 5 - Air
Summary: A series of vignettes involving Denethor and Aragorn. Each vignette is inspired by one of the five elements of classical philosophy.
Word Count: 896 + Notes
Timeline: bookverse, 3019 T.A.
Warnings: Implied slash. Also, while these vignettes are strictly canonical within bookverse, I freely admit that Tolkien may not have intended this interpretation of his steward and king. Some readers may struggle to accept the pairing.
Rating: This part - General; Overall - Mature

( Aragorn stepped into the rubble, his cloak trailing in the soot. )
