    Summary

    'Surely if ever there was a time to tell Gimli it was then, flush with an impossible victory.

    Except he had said nothing, for there was ever more to do and never time, never time to pull Gimli aside and taste the mouth hidden beneath the fall of his moustache, to fit his slim, Eleven hands into ones coarse with callouses from the handle of an axe, to tell Gimli that every song Legolas sang, every smile and laugh and every step forward he had taken since their path darkened was bolstered only by Gimli at his side, to speak to him of Elvish courting rituals and run his fingers through Gimli’s russet hair and ask if he would allow Legolas to twist an Elvish braid in it, something to mark to all the world, even if only his Elven eyes would understand, that Gimli was tied to him.

    To ask Gimli to teach him all the impossible ways their bodies might fit together.'

     

    The night before the Battle of the Black Gate, and several days after.

    Summary

    "In the beginning of Arda Melkor seduced [Mairon] to his allegiance" (The Silmarillion, pg 365).

     

    Mairon spends 4+ Ages trying to one-up his Master with mixed results. Bilbo thinks the redhead that sometimes shows up in his dreams bears an eerie resemblance to Lobelia’s third, and by far most psychotic, cat.

    Summary

    "...Thus seven tomes, writ in the hand of Sauron himself, came from the ruins of Barad-dûr and these were numbered and called ‘Histories’ in the black speech but the elves that remained named them ‘Ugarthist’ or ‘The Lore of Unclean Things’…"

    Summary

    Gimli, Lord of Aglarond, hasn't seen his friend Legolas of Ithilien for eight years—but the image of his unclothed body and a memory of withdrawn intimacy has been imprinted on his mind ever since. Determined to accept his friend’s rejection, it has taken every ounce of his iron control to keep his distance.

    Now Legolas has asked him for his company on a journey to the Grey Havens, and in honor of their old friendship, Gimli determines to aid him without letting his feelings get in the way. But his body and heart refuse to listen to his urgings, and over the course of a journey, those feelings only grow stronger.

    And perhaps, in the end, the strength of his care will be enough to save them both.
