Okay this has been in my brain for weeks and I would love to see two fics. One with Elendil and/or Thorin saving the reader. I'll leave the rest of the ideas to you but I had to ask.

Elendil x F!Reader: Rescue

(Thorin one will be out soon.)

It had been a few months now since you and the others had left Numenor, you breathed in salty as you were reminded every day that you loved the sea. You had been part of the sea guard since you first showed promise for ventures on the open sea. You couldn't even remember the last time you stepped onto land believing it to be home. The ocean indeed was your home, and your fellow crew were your family. You knew them in and out, secrets and vows never spoken out of the company. However you always felt like a piece of you was missing, as if the sea could not give you want you wished. That was until you met him

"Y/n"

You turned around seeing your captain at the bow of the ship as the salty air swirled around you making you sigh in a calm manner. Elendil's voice and look upon you made you realize that all your life you dreamed of a man like him. Serious yes but never so severe you couldn't have fun together, skilled in blade and master over the seas as if he were Ulmo himself. The setting sun only elevated his features as the stars started to appear one by one. It was a sight you could live with being your last.

"Isenria sighted a few dive beasts a few nights back. Best not to lean too close to the edge. Other wise you'd fall off" He said as he walked over to you with his ever-so-charming smirk. The smirk you fell in love with when you first met him. At the time he was a new recruit in the guard like yourself joking on his own father's ship with some men about how the sea was so beautiful that no women could compare. Until you realized he had stopped himself and thought for a moment before he turned his gaze to you and spoke.

"Well, maybe one..." he said as he nonchalantly crossed his arms with a smirk looking down at you. You remembered how quiet the others were. You simply thought the best way to handle it was lightly pushing him and laughing at such a jest causing the others to laugh along. But in truth at that moment you had fallen completely in love with him and from then on you promised to yourself to always be there for him.

"Elendil, how many years have you and I ventured into the sea? It will not claim me or you so easily."

"Well, one can never be too careful." He said as turned to the newest of recruits, only a few of them had even been on a ship in full tides.

"Do you remember when we were that young, star-eyed cadets dreaming of lands never seen by elves or man?"

"Well you, of course, had more adventurous blood in you Y/n, I mean you even "borrowed" your family's prized ship when you were no older than Isildur."

"True but If recall correctly Elendil, you did the same with your fathers?"

"No, my best friend did that...I simply helped get the sails and anchor set."

You couldn't help but smile at him as a small laugh escaped your lips as you remembered the boys taking the ship into the harbour only to get stuck in the fishing areas causing them to hide in fish barrels.

You smiled as you looked over to the recruits to see them dancing and singing the night away as you crossed your arms until a sudden chilled wind blew harshly at both of you. You almost lost your footing if it were not for Elendil wrapping an arm around you and holding you both still by grabbing onto the ledge. You looked over the horizon to see a sea of dark clouds swarming close by.

"A storm? This far east?" you asked looking up at Elendil who seemed troubled by the sight of lightning as well.

"That is no kind storm. Get the men above deck prepared, I'll wake the others." He said as he hurried downstairs as the waves were becoming stronger with every second.

"Everyone prepare the sails, tie down the supplies and tie your lifelines good and tight," you yelled out as the recruits hurried to their feet.

As the storm approached the ship was becoming increasingly hard to navigate through the storm. You could see some of the crew pulling hard on the ropes, attempting to keep the sails up though you knew it would not be enough.

" Haul on the brace." You yelled out

Just then all of the crew gasped as a large wave hit the side of the water causing some of them to get splashed hard by the water. In the decks below, some of them were trying to pump the water out of the ship. You could hear Elendil yelling down at them from the stairs.

"Faster! She's taking on more water!"

You looked up to see some of the men struggling with the sail and hurried over to Elendil.

"Go up and help them, I'll manage them down here."

He simply did as you said. The water kept splashing around roughly as you tried helping one of the guards to tie the lifelines. All you could hear was the battering of the waves against the ship as the men cried out a warning. You felt the wave hit your side knocking you into the post as you managed to check all the lifelines were accounted for.

"Watch out! Aah!"

Just then, another thunderous splash causes one of the nearby ropes to break off and smash into the side of the ship causing the large supply crates to fall overboard. You tried tieing the remaining supplies down but the rocking of the ship caused the weight to push against you. Pins and needles were how your legs felt as you used all your strength to brace the boxes. You looked up at the sail rails and shouted up to Elendil as the others are trying to hold the sails up.

"Elendil! Get down here! The supplies are falling overboard!"

Elendil noticed more water pouring onto the upper decks and some of the rope tearing apart. You saw him hurry as he swiftly grabbed the mast's rope, sliding down to the ground before giving the orders.

"Reef the topsails!"

He came to your side, helping you hold the last of the remaining supplies against the wall. Both of you caught your breath as the rain drenched both of you as you felt him put a hand on your shoulder.

"It's alright, Y/n."

Suddenly the cries of one of the men echoed throughout the whole ship. "Say your prayers!" A wave began to lift up the ship before both of you noticed the front being splashed. Both of you saw an enormous scaly fin break the surface of the water. Whatever that creature was it was not here to help. Suddenly out of the corner of your eye, you heard a large snapping sound as you looked behind Elendil to see one of the sail lines had broken and was about to hit him.

"Elendil, watch out!"

You pushed him out of the way when you were hit hard by the rope making you hit the edge of the ship feeling your body falling past it as you saw Elendil reaching a hand out to you, you reached out in turn but it was too late as the hard impact from the rope, caused you to go overboard as you hit your head on the railing. A huge wave crashed over the deck as you were swept into the roaring waves disappearing from everyone's sight.

Everything was silent as your body hit the cold unforgiving waves, your lungs felt like they were burning as you struggled to gasp at the air before the waves took over. Your eyes were losing focus as you noticed the waves were getting darker and darker. The shadows in the water reveal what was done there with you. A sea serpent, you could see its scales reflecting even in the low light. Your mind wandered off as you smiled to yourself, he was safe, you could die a little less sad than most knowing your last action was saving him.

Elendil POV

Elendil mind and heart were racing in tow, his eyes widened at the sight of you falling overboard as the sounds of the heavy winds howled in his ears. Almost on instinct did he quickly look over the rampart before tieing a rope around his waist.

"Pull the pin, Now"

"Sir! It is too late, the waves are too strong you won't reach her in time."

"I don't care, do as I say!"

Before any of the others could protest he dashed overboard diving down into the water. He came up for a moment to catch his breath before diving once more under the waves as the rest of the crew on the deck watched frozen in horror as you both were swept down below.

Your body feels colder as you see a white tunnel, and your thoughts wander to him once more.

'Elendil...'

Before you feel the air being brought to your lungs. You open your eyes ever so to feel and see Elendil's lips on yours quite literally breathing life back into you. You feel his arm around under your arms as you can feel him swimming up to break the surface. You can barely hear him speaking to you as the storm continues to rage on.

"Hang on, Y/n. I have you."

"E...e...Elendil" you said weakly as you could feel him holding you closer to him.

You both coughed a bit before being pulled in by the others as you both were lifted upward feeling the others gripping tight onto both of you pulling you two onto the deck. You both landed on the deck just as the storm began to die down. You felt your body being placed gently on the deck and just as quickly did you feel a hand on your cheek as you heard his voice calling out your name.

"Y/n...Look at me. Are you alright?"

You quickly sat up as you coughed up some seawater to the side, you looked up at him and simply caught your breath as you embraced him close. You felt him embracing you close with a hand on the back of your head and the other wrapping around your smaller frame. He looked at his hand though feeling blood on the back of your head.

You could hear the other guards question if you were alright but your mind went blank as you felt Elendil pick you up in his arms from the deck and walked you back to your chambers. The last orders given were only to leave you two alone unless it was an emergency. The last thing you remembered was him placing you in your bed taking off your wet clothes not taking anything else off before covering you in blankets. You could have sworn though that you felt him kiss your forehead but you weren't truly sure.

By the time you awoke from your slumber, it was deep into the late hours of the night. You gripped your head as a sharp pain took over as you felt a bandage around your head. You carefully stepped out of bed before you remembered that Elendil has saved you. You weaved past the rooms of the sleeping guards. You reached the upper deck stairs and saw extra blankets had been strewn about the main deck for those who volunteered to sleep beneath the stars. The others must have filled the primary cabins to the brim.

"Y/n? Are you alright?" one of them asked as you slowly walked past them toward the captain's quarters.

"Heed me no worry. I just need to see him." You said causing them to wonder and worry at the same time.

You quietly stepped inside, nearly tripping over your own feet as you tried to regain your strength. The sound of the door closing behind you caused Elendil to sit up right in his bed with only a thin silk shirt on with a blade in hand (should the issues of cutthroats arise). It felt like a relief when you saw him looking at you as you clutched your head.

"You're safe...Thank the Valar." You said as you stepped carefully closer not realizing that he had rushed out of the bed to you carefully putting his arms around your space being careful not to hurt you.

"Y/n?! You shouldn't be up, you should be resting."

"I'm sorry. I just had to know you were alright. I...I" You weakly hit his chest as you started to cry a little.

'You idiot. I save your life and you were gonna throw it away to save me. Why? You're more important, the others would've needed you to survive."

He smiled to himself, he brought his arms around you completely as he hushed you in a soft gentle manner. He gently walked you over to the bed and sat you down on it as he pulled one of the warmer thicker blankets from the bed and wrapped it around you. You spared a glance at him as he brought a gentle hand cupping your cheek.

"Y/n, I would do it again...a million times over if need be if it meant you were safe and sound. The thought of you being dead...I can't imagine."

You closed your eyes, listening to the soothing sounds of the waves crashing against the hull of your ship as you brought your hand over his, the warmth coming from him was most welcome. So much so you could feel the strength leave your body as you laid your head against his shoulder.

"I should get you back to your bed." He said as he was about to stand up but you stopped him as you gently spoke in a tired voice.

"Please, might I stay in your cabin? I don't mean to bother you, I...I just don't want to be alone tonight."

You felt the bed dip. as you looked up to see him with a small smile on his face as he gently helped you into the bed, and asked, “Only if you truly want that."

Always the gentleman he was. Elendil’s eyes were slightly hazy from the ale he had partaken in earlier. He was, however, sober enough to know he would not try anything.

“I'm not afraid of sharing a bed,” you said jokingly as you smiled up at him. You shifted a bit when the weight of him caused the bed to shift. Along with the large waves rocking the ship, you were almost nearly knocked into his chest as he made himself comfortable next to you. Rolling onto your back, you gripped his hand holding it close. With closed eyes, Elendil chuckled tiredly.

"Elendil...Thank you...For everything."

He gently shushed you pulling you closer onto the sheets. You glanced at him again as he carefully placed your head on the pillow. He was partially leaning over you now, balancing on his other hand as he looked down at you. Your imagination got the better of you when his eyes seemed to glance fleetingly at your lips. In my dreams, maybe, you thought.

Your personal sentiments might have surprised others, but you had no gripes on admitting to yourself that Elendil was a handsome man. However, life on the high seas left no time for such things.

Unbeknownst to you, He felt the same. Especially now as he gazed down at your tired form, looking so sweet as you lay beneath him cuddling up to him. He failed in stopping his eyes from glancing at your lips. He had always wanted you, despite the fact that such a thing seemed impossible. But he couldn’t help it.

"Y/n...I must ask...Will you allow me to kiss you?"

Your eyes opened wide as you looked up from the pillows. His hand pressed against your cheek. He was barely holding himself up with the other as he simply waited to see what you would say. You nodded and as quick as lightning did you feel him gently feel his lips against yours. Meanwhile, your arms quickly wrapped themselves around his shoulders and your fingers weaved into his thick, brunette locks.

Your eyes closed as you felt him pull you almost impossibly close. He grunted, falling onto his elbows when you did so. His heavy chest was flush against yours as you gently pulled away and looked directly into his silver eyes.

"I love you Elendil...truly I do."

He paused at your words. He panted heavily against you, slowly pulling away. He smiled down at you as his hands moved to rest against your jawline and the pads of his thumbs gently traced over your cheekbones. He returned to his original position of lying next to you. This time, however, he brought you with him.

Resting on his back, one of his hands went beneath his head as he stared up at the ceiling. His other arm tucked you tightly into his side. His fingertips gently caressed your clothed hip, repeatedly trailing up and down. He tilted his head to look at you with an amused smirk.

"I love you too."

Once more he kissed your lips before covering both of you in the blankets and leaning over to turn off the oil lamp nearby. The only thing left to do was to get some much-needed rest. At least for now.
