boon
Stroke of luck
A boon is a benefit or blessing, something helpful or welcome: The new highway was a boon to local businesses.
The word carries a slightly formal or literary tone.
A boon companion is a close friend you enjoy spending time with, especially in convivial pursuits—though this phrase is now old-fashioned.
