#Éomer x Lothíriel

[frodothefair]

Plotbunny Saturday - runaway bride Lothíriel!

Last night, I was reading over chapter 1 of The Golden Hall, and I remembered that Lothíriel had briefly considered running away, before opting for a more... ehm, permanent solution.

Well, I got to thinking, what if Lothíriel did run away from Meduseld? As a result, the following AU of The Golden Hall was born, and now I need write this off me...

(tagging the usual crew: @konartiste @from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras @emmanuellececchi @dilettantefeminist @celeluwhenfics - anyone else wish to be appraised of my unhinged plotbunnies, headcanons, drabbles, sneak peeks and the like?)

Alright, so, we have the same general premise as in The Golden Hall: Lothíriel is trapped in a hastily arranged marriage to a stranger who was very keen on her, she's having panic attacks, and her new home is scary and shockingly different from everything she's used to. Her family won't listen to her, and she doesn't have anyone else she can turn to, so she makes a desperate plan to escape: during a feast when everyone is busy getting drunk, she drugs the guards with her panic attack potion (probably something like valerian), bribes a stableboy with a piece of jewelry, takes a horse, and makes a run for it.

She makes it pretty far, but eventually her horse goes lame, and she is forced to abandon it and walk. She gets caught in a rainstorm, falls, and twists her ankle, and is forced to beg for shelter from a smalltime nobleman's family -- they're really not too different from wealthy farmers, the only notable distinction being that they're leaders in their local community, can bear arms, and are obligated to answer the king's call during a muster. Let's call them Lord Baldric, his wife Elfgifu (because that is an awesome name and I've been itching to use it), and their two young children.

At any rate, Baldric and his family take Lothíriel in, and succor her for a few days. They believe her story that she is a traveling Gondorean noblewoman whose retinue was lost in an orc ambush, and that she's trying to get home. They do not realize that she's the queen, because in the absence of modern communications, most people would not actually know what the queen looks like, except for a general, likely fifth-hand description.

All is well for a few days, but then there is word from the nearby town that the king's éored is nigh, and they are looking for somebody -- or something. Eventually, there is news that they are searching for the queen, who has gone missing.

Lothíriel's hosts quickly put two and two together, but they decide to talk to Lothíriel first, and get her side of the story.

They approach her for a talk, and she does not deny their suspicions. She apologizes for lying, and tells them all about her unwilling marriage, her struggle to adapt to a new land and its strange customs, her homesickness, the fact that nobody would listen to her. The family conference, and decide that they will hide Lothíriel, and then assist her in getting to Gondor.

Eventually, the king's guard arrives at Baldric's family homestead, and Lothíriel is in her hiding place, while the family is fully ready to lie on her behalf. Lothíriel has a crisis of conscience, and decides she does not want them to commit treason for her sake. She emerges as they're talking to the men, announces herself, but says that she will not go without fighting within an inch of her life, and the men would then have to answer for harming their new queen.

The king's guard conference, and after some back and forth -- "Come on, we can take her, she's an unarmed woman" -- "Yes, but not just any woman, she's the queen!" -- they decide to leave, and take an oath from Baldric, his family, and Lothíriel that she would not leave their estate, and if she did despite the family's best efforts, then they would be duty bound to assist in searching for her.

A few more days pass, and Lothíriel begins to actually enjoy her new situation -- the fresh mountain air, the clean river running through the estate, the fresh, simple food, the chance to rise early, and contribute to the good, honest work on the farm -- though at first everyone insists that there is no need, and that she should rest.

Eventually, she wonders if she might stay and simply live as a member of Baldric's family, but then Éomer King himself arrives, and to everyone's surprise, he begs forgiveness for everything that happened. He offers Lothíriel an opportunity to go back to Gondor, but also asks her to give him another chance -- she can continue to live on Baldric's farm, and the two of them can have a proper courtship, allowing him to show her that he loves her.

At first, Lothíriel is incensed, and wants to send him away, but after a heart to heart talk to Elfgifu, she agrees to a second courtship.

In the months that follow, Éomer King visits her every chance he gets, and they spend a good deal of time alone together: riding, picnicking, him teaching her to use a sword, talking and telling stories about each other's losses and triumphs. At one point, there is a storm, and he cannot leave as he intended, which means that they end up in an "only one bed" situation. On that night, Lothíriel discovers that the king has nightmares, which ends up fostering further closeness, and eventually, on one of his visits, they make love, and there is an early morning scene where Éomer finds Lothíriel mucking about in the river being Truly Happy, and he joins her in splashing about. (Cue wet linen shirt scene, and him carrying her back into the house completely drenched!)

Eventually, Lothíriel discovers that she is pregnant as a result of their closeness, and informs Éomer, stating that this might be a good occasion to move back to Meduseld.

Éomer agrees, but tells her that he must first get the blessing of her adopted guardians, Elfgifu and Baldric. Cue a hilarious but heartfelt scene where Éomer plays the guy who's like 'I'm sorry I impregnated your daughter and I am going to do the right thing, but by the way, I really do love her to Aman and back and if any harm comes to her I will kill everyone and then myself."

What do you think? Sweet? Should I perhaps write this someday?

Éomer and Lothíriel because I can't stop thinking about them

[colinnoahmayhare]

Snippet not Sunday

I was tagged by @camille-lachenille to share a bit of my most recent writing. And, since I'm trying very hard to finish chapter 51 of my LOTR story, I thought it'd be a nice idea to share some of that.

Chapter 51 will be titled "Horse-master and Horse-Breaker".

Almost right away, Éomer had been determined not to like this man. And it was not only the fact that he was an enemy that fuelled the king’s antipathy towards the wild man, but even more so the personality of the man that he had already had the great displeasure of facing during their first meeting at the capital’s gates. A personality seemingly made up of blatant arrogance and smugness, a man who paraded around with a head held so high that he could not see the stares of hatred and distrust thrown his way. Or at least, that’s how Éomer chose to see him – because, as of yet, the wild fucker had apparently not deemed it necessary to pick up on the fact that he was very much leaving a king waiting here and that said king was very much looking daggers at him from his chair next to the fireplace. Instead, the Horse-Breaker had taken to studying the various different tapestries and banners that were hung on every wall all around them – and one in particular seemed to have caught the wild man’s attention.

Alright, I'll tag @demonscantgothere

[themoonlily]

apparently Éomer is skilled enough poet/composer to spontaneously come up with verses in the middle of battle (and presumably he took part in the singing of Rohirrim on the Pelennor fields). it's also stated in ROTK that Dol Amroth has the best harpers of Gondor and it bears thinking that maybe Lothíriel was taught to play a harp as part of her education.

so do you think that Éomer and Lothíriel ever perform music together? 🤔 because I now do.

[sotwk]

I was wondering who are your fancasts for your headcanon world?

<33

Hiiii Quickie! @quickslvxrr

Am I right in guessing that your question was prompted by my reblog of your reblog of Charlie Hunnam's gif set? XD

Because if so, I will just say that I am very excited to have selected Charlie as my fancast for Théodred of Rohan! (Excited because I hope to start writing chapters of my Eomer x OC fic soon, which actually co-stars dear Théodred.)

I have a growing fancast list for the SotWK AU! I still need to get around to making an official and complete list, but since you seem curious, here is majority of what I have so far.

Apart from Reader Insert stories I write in response to requests, all fics and characters I create are grounded in the SotWK AU, so these characters exist consistently across and crossover between my stories.

Last updated: 22 September 2024

Greetings, traveller!

Since I am planning to write more from now on, having retrieved a bit of creativity over the past few months, I thought it would be handy to create a masterlist to make it easier to find them here.

At the moment, my writing is focused on Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings in general, so brace yourselves for quite a few of those, even if they're just drabbles! I am currently working on a five-part story on Éomer, but I expect to write a bit more on my favourite character, Faramir.

I do expect to write some drabbles centred on the characters of Baldur's Gate 3, probably centred around Astarion, Karlach, Gale and Halsin.

Eventually, I might dabble in The Boys as well for obvious *cough* Karl Urban *cough* reasons.

I will add some of my old ones on Stranger Things as well, some of which I must admit I don't think I will finish (just lost the inspiration for those I'm afraid!)

If I have enough time to write in the future (it's tricky for now), I might even accept some commissions for short stories, but we'll see about that in time, no promises haha

Expect to find fluff and angst, but also some smut from time to time. Everything will be properly tagged.

Note: Some older fanfictions with multiple chapters will only contain the Ao3 link. I don't know yet if I'll really post every single chapter on here.

Anyway, if you take the time to read my stuff, I'm extremely grateful and I hope you will enjoy whatever I put out there! If you wish to be tagged on new releases, don't hesitate to ask and I'll make sure to do so :)

Everything is available on my Ao3 account

Enjoy!

Of Fate, Thistle and Twine: Ch1

Chapter 1 on Ao3

Princess Lothíriel of Dol Amroth is soon-to-be-betrothed to King Éomer of Rohan. Will she manage to escape this loveless match? Or will she fianally accept the match and find love despite it all?

So,, i mentioned the other day that I was going to post the first chapter of some of my old wips, and this is one of my oldest wips (at least, it’s one of my oldest eothiriel fics, literally titled “eothiriel fic 1″ in my files). As it’s pretty old it’s pretty cliche and tropey, but ey, I’m still fond of it ;) I’m posting it over on Ao3 because I have a couple chapters that I’m going to post for it :)

[frodothefair]

Something I’m realizing about my Lothíriel as I turn over potential scenes in my head.

She’s a goddamn teenager. I mean, she actually is barely out of her teens, being twenty. And growing up in a royal family, there’s got to be some serious cognitive dissonance in terms of how quickly — or not so quickly — people grow up.

For instance, being privy to the realpolitik of the court, Lothíriel knows that people manipulate each other all the time, horrendously, to their own ends. She knows she is an object to be traded for political gains — she has no illusions and does not even really expect a love match. She is actively taught how to speak and act to manipulate a man — though a lot of it is bad, sexist advice.

At the same time, she is not allowed to walk anywhere unescorted, has limited choice in what to wear and what to do and and how to spend her time, and is not allowed to know any details about sex because they don’t want her future husband to think she has done it before.

She initially is going to drive Éomer crazy on purpose, because she can, as only an ill behaved teenager could while trying to establish boundaries.

Éomer, meanwhile, is pushing thirty, has a kingdom to run, and doesn’t have time for this shit. But he still somehow puts up with it because he loves her.

I mean… think of twenty year old you and twenty year old people you know. Then think of people you know who are almost thirty. Big friggin’ difference. So one thing Lothíriel is going to need to do in The Golden Hall is grow the eff up, and Rohan will help her do just that.

Healing Loss

The War of The Ring left many wounds. Some are able to feel that pain while others have to bear it so that others don't have to. The new king Eomer and the Princess of Dol Amroth Lothíriel are two such people who bear the pain for their country. They met under interesting circumstances and they never expected to need each other; but pain demands to be felt.

[themoonlily]

I will admit that I do enjoy some height difference between Éomer and Lothíriel, but I am also a fan of them being this freakishly tall power couple who wreak terror wherever they go.

[colinnoahmayhare]

Alright, time to expand my readership ... so, Tumblr, there you go!

I give to you my LOTR story focusing on Éomer and Lothíriel, their marriage and their rule ... with all the cultural differences, arranged marriage and political scheming that comes along with it.

I’ve been working on this for quite some years and started uploading it two years ago. I’ve been updating it pretty regularly. We’re on chapter 40 right now.

So, join in with the fun and start reading NOW

[sotwk]

hi, was just wondering whether Imrahil will appear in your Boromir/oc fic? He's one of my faves and I love when he turns up in fics

Hi Anon! Thank you for this question! <3

Short answer: YES! The wonderful Prince Imrahil will play a supporting role in my Boromir x OFC fic, which takes place in the decade before the War of the Ring (3008-3019). It will therefore explore aspects of Boromir's early career as Captain-General, which includes his activities in Dol Amroth and relationships with his mother's side of the family.

A more significant role will be played by Boromir's aunt, Lady Ivriniel, but the gentle, reasonable, Imrahil will serve as sort of a foil to both her and Denethor as they pressure Boromir to fulfill certain obligations according to their preferences.

More detailed answer: I love the noble character of Imrahil as well! I think excluding him from the movies was just as grave as excluding Glorfindel. However, writing him and the Dol Amroth clan into my AU stories makes me a bit anxious. My Boromir and Éomer fics are interconnected, and well... I'm deviating from canon to match Éomer with an OFC rather than Lothíriel. I'm yet not even sure how I'm handling that part.

I haven't made a final decision yet whether to actually have Éomer marry someone other than Lothíriel, but I don't usually defy canon pairings, so potentially cutting that in-law tie between Imrahil and Éomer is giving me (figurative) stress ulcers. I dunno, I guess the "where will this go??" is supposed to be part of the fun?? XD

Anyway, thank you so much for asking and I appreciate you waiting for me to get that Boromir fic moving!
