Elrond Peredhel A-Z Smut Headcanons

Kinktober 2024

Warnings: SMUT, switch!Elrond, dom/sub dynamics, rough sex, cum, anal play, toys, dirty talk, etc., x reader, gender neutral reader

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Such a sweet and attentive boy. Elrond is immediately up on his feet, getting whatever you may desire. Especially if you'd just had a more rough session, he would always double check he didn't hurt you and pamper you. Definitely his body's last hurrah before he eventually falls asleep in your arms.

On the flip side, if you'd taken control for the evening, he would be so appreciative of you taking care of him while he stared at you with loving, glassy eyes, bringing him back down to earth.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Elrond likes (how much you like) his hands. They are the link between his mind and the page as a herald, and the thing to make you truly fall apart. Some of his favourite memories feature him crowding you against a wall with his fingers inside you, gently shushing you so you are not caught.

On you, Elrond always comes back to your hips. Stroking them, grabbing them, kissing up and down them. His hands are always at your hips: to manhandle your pliant body into a new position, or just hanging on for dear life as you make him lose his mind.

Also, just a quick point about Elven ears generally: definitely a major erogenous zone for all elves, so if you even lightly brush your lips against his ears, Elrond is ready to give his soul to you.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

I think he actually sees it as a sign of connection between you both. Either cumming inside of you and mixing his with your own, or spilling all over both you and himself, he just can't help but stare down between you while trying to catch his breath.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

The first time he ordered you to ride his thigh, he came in his pants. The sight of you getting yourself off on him, the power he had over you - it was too much for him. He tried his best to hide it as you were coming down from your own high.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Elven life is so long, so Elrond is undoubtedly fairly experienced, having a fair share of elves and mortals lured by his charm and good looks. But I feel he may not have ever been as experimental as he may have fantasised of late at night, stroking his cock at great pace. However, despite his long life, Elrond had never loved someone so much as you; he is slightly stunned the first time you make love, forgetting for a moment what to do and where to put his hands.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Below you. In awe. Watching you. Seeing you in control in any situation does things to him, and you on top of him, riding him, controlling him, choking him, makes him lose his mind. Nowhere in the whole of Valinor does Elrond expect to see something quite as beautiful as you over him with your head thrown back in pleasure. All he can do is wrap himself around you and hold on.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Elrond can go both ways. He can be all cute smiles and giggling, all in your own little world. Or deadly serious, purely focussed on you and the love you share.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

I don't believe he is completely shaven, but the small amount of curly hair that is there is very nicely kept and groomed.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Such a hopeless romantic. The first time, he decked out his rooms with rose petals, dimmed lights, silk sheets - everything to give you the most pleasurable and intimate experience for your first time together.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

He would always just prefer to find you. But if he is ever away on a mission for Lindon, Elrond can't help but spend nearly every night one hand fisting his cock and the other covering his mouth, muffling his moans and whimpers. He will always take a reminder of you with him, and it stays firmly between his lips when he dreams of feeling your touch again.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

First and foremost, Elrond is a switch - he is overwhelmed the moment you stand over him and use an authoritative tone, but can have you in a puddle on the floor with once single command.

Hair pulling - those beautiful curly locks are too gorgeous to not run your fingers through and grab, and it makes Elrond's eyes roll back in his head every time. And if you ever pull him by his hair, either back to your lips or back to his work under the covers, he's going to cum right then and there.

Face sitting - Elrond would die a happy man, suffocated between your thighs. Nothing is too much for him - he just wants to do good for you - so give him all you've got and watch him buck his hips up and rut against the air like an animal.

Commander kink - need I say more? You were there when Gil-galad ordained him Commander Elrond, and the name immediately went straight through you - and he noticed. Now, he will do barely anything until you have sufficiently begged your commander to keep moving, before he finally slams into you with a power you never thought he could possess.

Overstimulation - it doesn't come out often, but when he is angry with you - and you can't help but fight back - Elrond has no choice but to teach you a lesson. Soon, he has you on his lap, your back to his chest, fingering you harshly as you cum over and over and over again. And he just keeps going, even as your head lolls back over his shoulder.

"Come on, baby, one more. Just give me one more. I want to hear those beautiful moans again. Look at you, finally being so good for your commander."

"Yes, Sir."

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Sometimes the simplest is the best: in the confines of your shared rooms and marriage bed, you can take all the time you might desire with each other, completely uninterrupted and focussed on each other. Otherwise, he loves to spend a day with you in the woods; take a picnic, sing to you, and make love to you under the canopy of trees.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

You. Just the sight of you. Also, pretty sure Elrond has a competency kink. Seeing you working and succeeding and leading really makes him weak and submissive. And for any little doubts and anxieties that may crawl there way into his mind, just simply knowing you want him, and only him, really frees his soul.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

I don't believe Elrond would ever be into impact play. He may sometimes grab you with hard hands and leave bruises on your hips, but he would never intentionally hurt you.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Elrond is without a doubt a skilled and enthusiastic lover. At any possible opportunity, he will go down on you (or otherwise beg to) and how could you say no to him? His tongue was moulded by the Valar themselves just for you and his eyes close in pleasure as he plays your every string like a lute. Also, he has no gag reflex.

On the other hand, Elrond absolutely loses his mind when you suck him off. He is so overwhelmed and can barely breathe. Definitely when you surprise him by undoing his pants and distract him from work at his desk. And definitely when he stands before you, you on your knees, tears streaming down your face, taking everything he gives you.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Elrond has a lot of energy, so he can't help but use it sometimes, pounding into you with his lips connected to your neck. But his roughest side comes out when he is stressed from work or angry with the world, your face pushed into the pillows and body pinned to the bed as he takes you in whichever dark way he may desire. If he is in more of a romantic mood, he takes it slower, deeper, more sensual, wrapped up in each other's bodies. Usually slow and sensual, but loses his mind sometimes.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He always needs you, so whenever and wherever possible. In great hallways in between his meetings with the King, pushed up against the wall (something he had been thinking of doing the entire meeting beforehand. In the gardens in a little secluded corner you know, shushing each other to be quiet between giggles and low moans.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

If he isn't busy with work, Elrond is always down for a quickie. So, you have both taken a lot of risks in your time with regard to location. He was a bit cautious when you first got together about experimentation, but he has become (very) open with time. Elrond just wants to make you happy, and he will do nearly anything to make that happen.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Elves, y'all… The lot of them have the stamina of the Valar, so you happen to be of a race with any less endurance, then good luck… Elrond is no different: bouncing with boundless energy, ready to go again with very little rest time. He can go all night long. Insatiable.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

I don't believe his own personal collection would be vast before getting together with you; his primary possession a small metal vibe he teases himself with to thoughts of you. However, he is excited to delve into your own collection, eager to find out what you like and don't like, and which he could persuade you to use on him. He never expected he would ever react like this, but the moment you mentioned it, it lit a fire in him... and so did those nipple clamps he found at the bottom of your box.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He dishes it out but he can't take it. You really both drive each other insane. Private whispers of dirty promises just before he is called away by Gil-galad, or intentionally low-cut robes that make him choke on air when you bend over - you are both insufferable.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

He's so loud, he just can't help himself. He gets lost in you and your body that he sometimes forgets he's making noises at all. Loud moans all the time, and delicate whimpers when you climb on top of him. But this transforms into low, feral growls when he is jealous or angry, his animalistic and possessive side coming out. Also, no one in the whole of Middle Earth can stop this man's constant dirty talk whispered in your ear.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

I don't think Elrond had done a lot of anal play before meeting you. He had experiemented with himself, fingering himself with breathless gasps in the confines of his chambers. But never particularly with other people; he had always been more of a giver than a taker. It intrigued him, and you helped to bring him into the light. You started slow, trying to relax his nervous trembling, but soon he was thrusting back against you or the toy, eyes glossed over as you hit the just the right spot again and again. Now, it is a frequent feature of your nightlife together, where he can embrace his little subby side and let go to complete pleasure.

"Please, my love, more, I need more. Fuck. I need you so bad, please give me more, I can take it. I love you. Please."

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

He is not the longest, but has a fair girth and is slightly curved up in just the right way to make you see stars.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

High. Definitely high. He's so in love. He will physically tell himself to calm it before meetings with the High King (more frequently than he'd like to admit), and then he is able to stay focussed on the job at hand. But when he is writing speeches - and ultimately calm in his beloved art - he can start to feel his mind wandering to you. All the strength in his body is needed to make sure all his work is finished before running off to find you.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Once he has taken of you thoroughly, Elrond gets very sleepy. He tries his best to engage in pillow talk with you, but soon his eyes start to flutter close - not without them leaving your beautiful face.

One of my favorite Elrond & Elwing headcanons is that Elwing, who was a very small child when she had to flee the destruction of Doriath, tells Elrond and Elros stories of how beautiful it was. She tells them stories she herself had been told of happier times when Melian ruled with her girdle of protection. She tells them stories of an enchanted realm that was once their families legacy.

As refugee children, these stories of a home, and a protected realm were something special to the twins and when Elrond hears those stories he dreams of rebuilding Doriath. He sees the loss on his mother's face and he imagines building a realm of enchantment where flowers bloom and birds sing as they did when Lúthien walked among them, or when Melian taught the nightingales to sing. He dreams of building this for his mother, so that she might feel joy again.

Elrond builds all this later when he founds Rivendell, and it grows from a camp for refugees (something that he knows well), into the place he always dreamed of building for those who have their homes and happiness ripped away from them. A place where flowers bloom and hurts are healed. A place that is protected by enchantments laid by Melian's scion who commands even the river in its defense.

No one questions why the stars shine brighter on Imladris than any other realm, they also know why the birds congregate there in such large numbers.

The little refugee and survivor rebuilt Doriath, and wove his own little barrier of protection around it.

And his mother smiled across the sea.

Late evening Adar thoughts: I like to imagine Adar was also part of the The Dagor Dagorath (Battle of all Battles) prophecy about the Middle Earth heroes and the Valar coming back to defeat Morgoth once and for all in the last battle, bringing life back into the two trees of Valinor and restoring Arda to it’s original glorious state, to simply put it. He might not have been remembered as any “hero” but he was to me. And to see him finally get revenge on Morgoth, the one who first caused his suffering and torment would be so satisfying and relieving tbh 🥺

Another thing… the tragic downside of the trop writers adding such a wonderful canon-like original character like Adar to the show is that he feels like a “forgotten hero” that is erased from anything the lore masters ever wrote and how they didn’t care to keep his name alive, because he’s an orc, a corrupted elf who isn’t worthy of any true acknowledgment from the actual “heroes”, even though he was very much worthy. The fact only a few would remember him, and the songs that were sung of him never left that small circle of elves who might’ve treasured his memory in secret. Even the offspring of his children probably don’t/didn’t know anything about him either. It’s just so sad that even when I think of wholesome hcs, I immediately get depressed because non of it matters in the end. He’s gone, forgotten, but at least we will remember him for a long time 😭

This can apply to the other original characters like Arondir, Disa, Bronwyn etc as well, but with Adar it’s different because of what and who he was and how his life ended so unfairly. He was literally RIPPED from us and we are expecting to just “move on”… it’s hard to deal with

sometimes i imagine young elrond (relatively young, you know for elves) grieving the loss of his brother, trying to respect his decision to die a mortal death, really respecting his decision, but still feeling sour about it from time to time when everything becomes too much, sorta thinking you left me alone, why did you leave me alone and celebrian, galadriel, everybody around him is saying something along the lines everything happens for a reason and sure, elros becoming the first great king of numenor should be enough reason and elrond understands that? but it still makes his heart ache, but he lives on, he keeps an eye on his brother's line, protects the middle earth where it counts, and that's how it goes for a couple hundred years

and then there comes a human woman with a little boy, and sure there were many before. he kept an eye on his brother's descendants before, but this one is so small and his little feet take him all around rivendell where he somehow always manages to find trouble, and his eyes are the shade achingly similar to his brothers, and sometimes he calls him ada because he learned it from his other kids

and one day he's reading little estel a story (maybe a legend of an old king who rose to greatness before he faded away) and he looks at the child snoring away on his chest, a child that wouldnt be here had elros made a different choice

and he thinks. oh. that was the reason.

#i have very surface level knowlegde of lotr lore and i have not seen rings of power #so take every missfire as my personal headcanon #im just very emotional about elrond forstering little aragorn #that is his baby #he has round ears and is fated to return to the world of men as their king but look at him hes so cute #rivendell family #aragorn #elrond #aragorn and elrond #lotr #lord of the rings

After the Dust Settles / Elrond x Fem!Reader

summary: Elrond finds you after the fall of Eregion. Startled by the condition he’s in, you’d do anything to bring him the relief he needs.

warnings/tags: NSFW 18+ ONLY!!! hurt/comfort, friends to lovers, idiots in love (reader is the biggest idiot, sorry), healthy dose of mutual pining, reader is an elf, some miscommunication, minor injury and blood, smut, fingering, pinv sex, reader has medieval expectations and elrond exceeds because I! say! so!

a/n: alright, first non star wars fic on tumblr, whatever whatever. it’s not gonna become a thing unless... this man has not left my mind since the end of season 2 so here, have this. I am not the most well versed in The Lore pls don’t crucify me for it. [@jetii here it is, as promised]

writing masterlist / join my taglist / read on ao3 / word count: 6k

Since the elves had been afforded sanctuary by the rings, you had been trying to busy yourself with any number of menial tasks to help ease minds, distract your own at all costs. The battle for Eregion had taken not only people’s lives, but the will of the ones who remained, and with what little of your sanity you had left you picked up where others could not face continuing.

You were inside the walls of the city when the orcs attacked, an archer on the last line of defence. The effort was futile, and it had been apparent even before the battle had begun. Watching so many of your kind fall into the clutches of death was more than you had bargained for, and something you wouldn’t soon forget. Your quiver and bow laid at your side, a piece of you unwilling to part from them still.

Now in the safety of the valley, you had set up a small tent, where people could come to have their ailments tended to with a preferred level of privacy. You were no healer, but they were few and far between in present company, so you did what you could. The curtain of night had been drawn for some time, the first time since the end of the battle, and the amount of patients had dwindled into nothing a few hours ago while the sun still clung to the horizon. You were organising what few resources you did have, crouched to view the label of each vial in the small cabinet, and you missed the light scratching of the tent canvas as it slid open.

Your name was called from behind you in a quiet voice, almost sounding like a plea. You turned, finding your beloved friend Elrond standing rigid in the doorway of the tent, his eyes dark and unmoving from yours. His name left your lips in a hoarse whisper as you took in the sight of him. His skin was marred by dirt and blood, a gash cutting him open along the cheekbone, his posture uncharacteristically slumped and hair falling loosely around his face. He still wore his armour from the battle, painted much the same as his skin.

“I did not know if you—“ he seemed to stop himself from speaking, pressing his lips together as he hung his head. His eyes slid closed, and he took a deep, steadying breath.

You raised yourself from the ground, taking a tentative step towards him, “what is it, Elrond?”

His gaze raised to you once more at the sound of your voice, and he shook his head lightly, the tiniest of tired smiles lifting his lips, “I am glad you are safe, is all”

“And you, my lord” you replied, stepping up to him properly now, and raising your hand to his chin to tip his head to the side. His hair fell across his forehead as you traced a finger along the underside of the cut, inspecting.

“Please, you know that is unnecessary” he insisted, taking another deep breath as he watched you carefully. You knew how the title irritated him so when passing your lips, the reason for its passing every time you saw him. “It does not hurt” he claimed, referring to his cut.

“I hear it’s Commander these days” you paid his comment no mind, instead taking in every small scratch that littered the surface of his skin. Your chest tightened at the sight, at the very idea of the elf before you being hurt, having death breathing down his neck. It was beyond relieving that he had made it through the battle.

Elrond’s face drew a tired expression, one of quiet exasperation at your persistence. His hand took hold of your forearm, “please, you need not fuss”

“It must be cleaned” you asserted, dropping your hands from his face and turning away.

“Melnā, I do not need—”

“Take a seat” you spoke with no room for argument, ignoring the endearment that made your heart flutter as always, “I will return in a moment”

Taking a step outside, you let yourself breathe in the night air. It really was beautiful here, the moon shining over the water and casting a cool glow along its surface, the trees gently swaying in the breeze as if cradled in its arms. You collected water from the stream just a short distance from the tent, your mind dwelling on the elf that stood just beyond its entrance.

You had known Elrond for what felt like lifetimes, and for any mortal it would have been. In all that time you had never ceased to be enamoured by him. It was quite impossible not to be. He was kind, giving without thought, an attentive healer and a good friend. Possibly that was why it was so odd that you found yourself in this position, or perhaps that was exactly why. He hadn’t come to you for healing, because that wasn’t what this was about, this was caring for him when he needed it most, whether he’d acknowledge it or not.

He’d always been affectionate with you, in a way that you could face reciprocating. It was more his words than anything, which was not surprising in the least. Though proven a cunning warrior in surviving the recent conflict, his tongue had always been far sharper than his sword. He spoke with intention only, quiet when words held no meaning, avoiding pleasantries when he could, though he always took the time to spare you words of adulation that felt unearned from such a person.

No matter his insistence in speaking it, you could not return the affectionate nickname he called you; melnā. Beloved. It was too real, striking the very deepest part of your heart, where nothing but your love for him resided, festering.

You pulled aside the canvas of the tent, venturing back inside with the pot of water at your hip. Elrond sat in the chair as you had requested, his head tilted back, eyes closed, weighted down by lack of rest. You had never seen him so defeated. His back was curled against the chair, arms hanging limp against his thighs, one leg outstretched and the other falling out to the side. It was disheartening, to say the least, that this elf you knew to be strong-willed above all else was so beaten, inside and out.

You moved silently, not wishing to disturb his moment of peace. It may be the first chance he had had since the battle, after all. You retrieved a cloth, and tentatively approached his slumped figure. It was the sound of water trickling from the cloth that drew him from his stupor. His eyes opened and found yours as you stood hunched over the pot beside him, his posture straightening, more reminiscent of his usual demeanour.

“My apologies” he murmured.

“Your apologies are unnecessary” you spoke softly, wringing out the cloth, “please, rest if that is what your body calls for”

His brows pinched a little, offering a tender look that tugged at your heart. He was so unused to having kindness offered to him, being the one that so often gave it out, that you knew the simple notion had surprised him.

He slumped against the chair once again, eyes never leaving you as you folded the cloth into a neat square; an unnecessarily proper gesture that would soon be proved pointless as the white material became riddled with dirt and blood. You stepped around the pot so you stood in front of him, and took his chin between your fingers once more, tipping his head to get a better look at the wound. As the cool cloth met the warmth of his skin, all of his breath left him in a sharp exhale.

He flinched away only marginally, evidently trying to remain still against the sting. You whispered an apology, but continued on cleaning his wound until the regular hue of his skin shone through the grime. Thankfully the cut wasn’t deep, and really he was lucky to come away from the fight so unscathed where most fell. Though it didn’t stop the way your chest tightened at the simple idea of him being hurt.

Elrond had always been collected in a particularly admirable way, but now as his frustrations could be seen peeking through the cracks of his noble exterior, you were more worried than anything. Only months ago had he been the bright-eyed elf you knew, full of a certain hopefulness that seemed unending. Now as he sat before you, his grey eyes were dimmed, as if someone had snuffed his spark, the state of Middle Earth turning them cold, clouded. Where they had been the welcome mist of an early morning, there was now a storm brewing in them.

He was much changed from who he was, and your heart broke for him.

“You are hurting” he observed in a low voice. You hadn’t known he’d been watching you so closely.

You shook your head, avoiding his gaze, “I am unharmed”

His eyebrows drew together as he turned his head, forcing you to stop your movements. “It is not your body” he claimed, taking your wrist as you tried to continue, “it is your mind”

The feel of his fingers wrapped around your skin, the unwavering scrutiny in his eyes, was dizzying. You tried to deny the way your stomach flipped, butterflies taking flight, but it was made difficult by the raising bumps along your skin, the heat that creeped up your neck.

“I did not realise you could read the thoughts of others, Elrond” you deflected, your tone light, almost jesting.

He scoffed quietly, his grip loosening on your wrist, “it was merely an informed assumption”

“Informed” you chuckled as you resumed wiping the muck from his face, stepping forward a little, “pray tell?”

“Your face betrays you” he claimed, turning his head away and spreading his knees wider for your ease.

You sighed, following the sharp line of his jaw with your eyes, clenched in pain of either flesh or mind, most likely both. You focused on cleaning the area, gently urging him to relax with smooth motions from his cheekbone down to his chin. His eyes closed with a soft breath leaving his lips, his mouth falling open.

“It troubles me to see you this way, mellon nín” you confessed quietly, “it is so unlike you”

He hummed thoughtfully, the corners of his mouth turning downwards in a deep frown, “It is just a small cut, it will be fixed in a matter of hours”

“It is not your wound that concerns me” you replied, an edge of stringency that you hadn’t intended. He looked up at you with a timidity to his gaze that was hard to ignore. His guard was up, and it was so foreign to see on his features. “May I speak plainly?”

The smallest smile reached his darkened eyes, “as if you would do anything but”

A gentle laugh escaped you, creasing your eyes with a fondness before they grew sad. You skimmed the back of your fingers over his clean cheek very lightly, and he turned to face you once more. “I am worried for you, Elrond” you whispered, “you are much changed from the elf I once knew”

He sighed desperately, hanging his head, “it is not by any great effort of my own”

“I am aware” you returned, slipping your hand under his jaw to raise his head. The shame in his eyes was hard to bear, and you stroked your thumb across his cheek in a delicate gesture. “What can be done?”

“You need not worry about me” he assured, “wrongs will be righted in time, it is the way of things.” A long breath passed your lips as you stared down at him, worry never leaving your expression. Elrond lifted a hand to you, flattening his palm against the outside of your knee and rubbing up and down in a comforting manner, “please do not fret, melnā nín“

You could feel your cheeks burn at the endearment, and busied yourself by focusing on the task at hand, threading your fingers through the hair that fell over his forehead to push it back. “You should not call me that” you muttered, dragging the cloth over his temple.

“Why?” he rebutted softly, thumb tracing over the top of your knee, “because I am ‘changed’?”

You frowned at him, not understanding the question, “because you do not use it for its intended meaning”

The statement made him sit up immediately, his back straightening so he drew closer in proximity, his chest almost flush against you, “why do you assume so?”

His sudden closeness was as startling as his words, and you were left with your hands in the air, unsure what to do with them, your mouth hanging open and trying to find the right words. “I— I do not take your meaning”

”You believe that I do not mean the words I speak, why is this?” He asked lowly, skimming his hands up the outside of your thighs, resting them at your waist.

To say that you felt flustered would be an understatement. Elrond stared up at you with determined curiosity, a soft seriousness that would make anyone feel cared for, that their words mattered more than life itself. The weight of his hands on your hips was unfamiliar, yet so comfortable, though that was not surprising. This was Elrond, after all. He was impossibly kind and purposeful at the worst of times, a dependable elf beyond measure and in all your years of friendship he had not once seen fit to slight you in any way.

Yes, friendship, because the question of more had always seemed impossible to ask, and thus been unanswered.

“We are friends, Elrond, I—”

“You are right” he interrupted, removing his hands from your body and sitting back against the chair, “Forgive me”

He rubbed a hand over his eyes as his head dropped back, sighing deeply. You didn’t know what the appropriate thing to do was in this specific scenario, but the dirt that he had smeared over his cleared skin was demanding your attention.

“Do not do that” you instructed quietly, taking the dirty hand from his face and sighing deeply as you looked upon it.

You wrung out the cloth into another basin and returned it to the fresh water, then brought it to his hand, kneeling by his side. You felt the weight of his gaze on you as you wiped the dirt from his skin, but refused to indulge in it. It was selfish to seek anything from him in this moment, when he was so broken, in need of someone to care for him.

“You are tired” he observed correctly again. He had always been able to read you far more easily than you were comfortable with.

“Everyone in this valley is tired” you deflected.

“I am not concerned with them at the moment” he spoke resolutely. You finally met his eyes, and the way they shone with intent set your stomach alive, “this is unnecessary. You require rest”

“Please” you pleaded quietly, “just— let me do this for you, just for this one time”

He exhaled softly, looking upon you with a pitiful expression as he raised his clean palm to your jaw. His thumb swiped across your cheek, but he pulled away almost right away. “I will…” he trailed off, taking hold of your forearm, “but I won’t have you stationed at my feet like this”

He pulled you up, and then directed you to sit on the arm of the chair, laying your legs across his lap. You obliged, your voice stuck in your throat, and his arm wound around your waist, splaying his palm against your lower back to steady you.

He gave you a gentle smile, “you may continue, if you wish”

You nodded, and took his other hand, quickly wiping away every inch of dirt that covered it until you reached the edge of his armour, where the skin was untouched by grime. You then raised the cloth to his neck, and much to your surprise, Elrond dropped his head back with a pensive sigh as his eyes slid closed. Watching every movement he made as you cleaned him, you became more and more entranced. His hand slid to your hip as you ran the cloth under his ear, earning another uneasy exhale, and when you reached the lip of his armour, dragging the white material just below the surface of his tunic, a small shudder wracked his body.

You had finished your work now, the visage that was once covered by dirt was clean, shining brilliantly in the low candlelight of the tent. Elrond still laid with his head back, and the exposed skin of his neck was all too tempting, beckoning you. You ran your fingers through his hair, pushing it back from his face and drawing another shaky breath from him. With the confidence that your touch was affecting him in the way you had thought, you took a leap of faith.

His skin was soft under your lips as you pressed a kiss to the side of his neck, and Elrond’s grip on your hip tightened, his breath stuttering. You placed another gentle kiss against him, this time to the column of his throat, and you watched as it bobbed in reply. Elrond’s other hand now securely held your thigh, tracing circles into fabric of your tunic, and you continued to gently press your lips to his neck, slowly exploring the skin that was now exposed to you.

“Melnā” he whispered in a soft exhale, and you felt your blood running hot.

“What is it, meleth nín?” you murmured against him, continuing to litter his skin with affection.

Elrond’s breath caught in his throat, and for a moment he was silent, his breath coming out in shallow pants, as if trying not to be heard. You paused your movements, and awaited his answer.

“I am not sure you understand what you are doing to me”

You raised your head at his assertion, meeting his dark gaze head on and trying to contain the embarrassment you felt, “I shall stop, we never need mention this again”

Elrond shook his head. “You misunderstand me” he said, sitting up so his forehead met yours, “I would not want you to do this simply because you felt I needed it”

You frowned, moving your gaze between his eyes and searching for something you weren’t entirely sure of. “I would not deny that” you spoke quietly, and watched as a flicker of uncertainty crossed his features, “but selfishly, it would not be the sole reason”

His eyebrows raised ever so slightly, and for a moment he just stared at you, as if to figure out whether or not the words had really slipped from your lips. His hand left your thigh to hold your jaw, closing his eyes as he leant into you, “it does not bother you?”

“What doesn’t?”

“That I am… different, as you say?” He murmured in reply, lifting his head so his nose gently rubbed against yours.

“Elrond…” you sighed as you took his face in both hands, and his eyes fluttered open to meet your gaze, “you are not capable of the kind of change that would squander my high regards for you, nor quell my affections”

He exhaled, and you felt the warmth of his breath against your lips, “what would you allow me?”

“Anything” you replied in a whisper, “everything”

Elrond’s arm tightened around you, and his other hooked under your knees as he slowly stood from his seat, taking you with him. He kept his eyes on yours as he made his way over to the bed you had set up, and finally you could see some of the darkness receding from them. If you were to serve as a distraction for him, with nothing given in return, then you would do it gladly, no matter the pain in your heart. You knew it was foolish, to allow yourself to be burned at his stake, but when he treated you so gently, as if you were precious, as if you’d break if he released you, you didn’t seem to care.

He placed you down on the thin mattress, moving to remove his armour before you protested. “Allow me” you directed him to sit down instead, and knelt in front of him to slip off the pieces of his armour without another word. The process felt almost religious, a ritual of sorts, each piece falling away to reveal his slender form. You stacked the pieces neatly to your side, taking care not to damage the fine craftsmanship, despite it being designed for that express purpose.

When the last piece was placed down, you finally lifted your eyes back to him. Your insides buzzed with nervous energy, but you couldn’t lose your confidence now, and so you placed your hands on his thighs, sliding them upwards as you raised to your knees. For a moment you just took him in, his weary smile, the tiredness in his eyes, slack jaw. He was so fatigued, and to offer him some semblance of tenderness in this state felt like a monumental privilege. His hands found your body, sitting comfortably at your waist, and you were snapped back into the moment.

“You do not need to do this” he reminded, gently kneading your skin to bring you closer.

You shook your head, “I want to, if you’ll allow me”

His expression softened further, “you need not ask, my love”

You nudged his jaw upwards with your nose, planting a kiss just beneath and making his body deflate in relief. You drew a slow path towards his ear as your hands slipped beneath the hem of his shirt, feeling the warmth of his skin against your palms. Every movement you made was calculated, a precise act, aimed to release any lingering tension that he held within his body. You tried hard not to lose yourself in his presence, in the natural scent of his skin, in the feel of his breath against your own neck, and succeeded by focusing on every sensation as it arose, keeping yourself present.

You slowly peeled back his shirt, allowing you access to the skin below, but before you could explore any further, Elrond’s voice cut through the silence.

“Stand for me” he said lowly, his lips almost brushing your ear as he spoke and causing a shiver to run down your back, desire pooling low in your stomach.

You obliged right away, pushing off of the floor to stand before him. First, he took you calf and slid one shoe from you, and then repeated the action for the other foot. He took hold of the ties that were holding your tunic up and slowly untied you from the material. The fabric slid from your shoulders with ease, pooling around your ankles on the floor. The chill of night, barely concealed by the tent, blew against your bare skin, nipping at you as the edge of self-consciousness did in the same moment. You were bare to Elrond now, and his hands traced down your sides as he took in the sight, a certain reverence to his gaze that sent your mind towards puzzlement.

As his hands reached your thighs, he pulled you slowly towards him, positioning you over him so you straddled his lap. Before you could continue the exploration of his skin, his own lips made contact with your shoulder, and he littered kisses downwards along your collarbone, languid motions that made your head spin. You breath caught in your throat as his hand skimmed up the inside of your thigh, and you let out a choked exhale when you felt his fingers dip between your folds. Your head fell forwards, resting your forehead against his shoulder as he continued his efforts, tracing circles around your sensitive bud, which only made your breath heavier and heavier.

You panted his name, disbelief colouring your tone, not expecting him to pay any attention to your needs. It would have been ample to care for him, but receiving it back, you realised just how much you needed it. The battle had been tough on you as well, and the way that your body relaxed under his touch reminded you of that fact.

A small chuckle left his lips at your incredulity. “You did not expect this?” He deduced correctly once again. You couldn’t answer, for the way his fingers expertly played against you was rendering you unable to speak. “You thought I would neglect you in this way?”

“I… n— yes?” you stuttered out unsurely, silenced by your own moan at Elrond doubling his efforts.

“Mm, as I thought” he teased lightly, his voice low as his lips drew near to your ear. You breathed heavily, trying to collect your thoughts, trying to keep your lips sealed for the fear of what sounds might erupt if given the chance. Not trusting yourself to stay quiet, you buried your face in his neck. Elrond hummed disapprovingly, “I want to hear you, pretty one”

Urging you on in his request, Elrond slowly slipped his fingers past your entrance, taking his time to coax every possible ounce of pleasure from you, and earning a shaky moan against his neck.

“That’s it” he cooed, his other hand kneading the skin of your waist in time with the fingers that worked inside of you, “I have you”

His words reminded you I’m an instant that this was not to be the purpose of this endeavour, and your hand flew to his wrist, pausing his movements. “Elrond, this was supposed to be for your benefit”

Elrond shook his head. “That may have been your intention” he withdrew his fingers a little before sinking them back inside, “but I can see that you are just as weary as I”

“No, I—” your hips twitched forwards instinctively as he picked up his pace, “I insist”

”Do you?” He said in an amused rumble.

You tried to regain authority over your ragged breath, some semblance of control over your body, but Elrond was playing you like a harp. He strummed the strings of your pleasure like he knew the tune by heart, every movement instinctive and adept, swells in dynamic that built up towards a climax. You were getting there quickly far quicker than anticipated. The pads of his fingers pressed against your walls, the base of his palm working your clit, and you could feel everything within you pulling taut.

“Elrond—” his name fell from your lips in a needy whisper.

“What do you need?” He replied quietly, never faltering in his pace.

“I—”

The question confounded you. Never before had you been asked such a thing, not in the height of pleasure at least. Your mind couldn’t wander far given the situation, but for a moment you tried to produce an answer for him.

“Tell me” he urged again, more insistent now, “what do you want?”

“I want—” the minor difference in wording, with the added knowledge of Elrond’s cock straining against his trousers and pressing against your leg, brought the answer to you more readily. “I want… you, Elrond” you breathed out, hips buckling against him to punctuate your point.

An uneasy groan sounded in his throat, reverberating against your cheek as you remained pressed against him. He pulled his fingers from you quickly, and within the next second he had flipped you over so you were beneath him. You reached for the tie of his trousers as he did, eager to remove the final piece of clothing that restricted him from you.

Elrond slotted himself between your legs to the tune of your small whimper, but he paused. His face hovered above you, his eyes flicking between yours, searching. It was as if he was waiting for something, but you couldn’t decipher what.

“You have not kissed me” he muttered, his eyes briefly flicking to your lips before his steadfast gaze returned to yours.

Your eyes widened a little at the observation, unsure of the waters you were about to dip your toe into, “you would let me?”

The expression on Elrond's face as he pulled back was purely scandalised, his brows settled in a deep frown, “whatever do you mean?”

“I—” you tried to find the words to express what you had previously thought, but now it all sounded ridiculous.

“You believe I do not—” words failed him in a moment of disbelief, and then his expression softened once more, his palm resting against your cheek, “meleth nín, forgive me for such unkind words, but… you are a fool”

Your brows drew together a little. He had never called you anything of the sort, but knowing him, ever intentional with his words, you didn’t doubt that he was right.

“To doubt my deep affections for you is to deny the very rising and setting of the sun. Do you truly think so lowly of me that I would allow you this without returning your desire in equal measure?”

You could only blink up at him after such a confession, but once his words began to sink in, you realised the depth of your folly. Of course the reverence in his gaze, the tenderness of his touch, was not because anyone was giving him this kind of affection, but because it was you. The thought struck you so suddenly that you became breathless, your cheeks heating. To engage in this act, usually reserved for marriage, he must have more admiration for you than you gave him credit for. Elrond was right, you were a fool.

“I do not” you spoke resolutely, “I have only the highest of regards for you”

“Then hear me now” he pressed a kiss to your forehead before continuing, “I have waited centuries to embrace you in this way. Every moment in your presence has been excruciating, longing for more than what I thought possible, waiting for the day that you changed your mind about me. Now that the day has finally arrived, I do not intend to spare you such an intimacy without knowing the taste of your lips”

“Elrond…” you whispered, reaching up to mirror his palm against your cheek, “my mind remains unchanged. This is the way I have always felt”

His eyes widened, a light scoff escaping him in complete surprise, “then we are both fools”

“I believe you may be right” you chuckled at his reaction, you hand tangling in his curls with the reward of a delighted sigh. The look of contentment on his face was enough to melt you into the fabric of the sheet you laid upon. “You are so beautiful, melnā”

Elrond rested his forehead against yours, “what ever beauty I possess pales in comparison to the fortune of looking upon such fair features as yours”

“Such flowery words” you lips quirked, teasing his lyrical ways.

Elrond chuckled, skimming the pad of his thumb across the skin beneath your eye, “you are worth the time it takes to speak them, my love”

At long last, Elrond brought his lips to yours. He kissed you firmly, deeply, every bit of his usual sincerity woven into the action, and you quickly lost yourself in him as you had aimed to prevent before. His hands roved your body in featherlight touches, mapping the shape of you as his kisses grew more insistent.

Soon he began to explore past the bounds of your lips, traveling along your jaw. His breath ghosted over your ear, pausing for only a second, before he gently brushed his lips against it. Your breath caught in your throat, almost choking by the uneasy rhythm of it as he grazed his teeth against your earlobe. It was the first time anyone had ever touched your ears, and the gesture was so uniquely intimate, so undeniably pleasurable, that you couldn’t help the way your finger’s tightened in Elrond’s curls.

You wrapped your legs around his waist, drawing his body closer. The both of you moaned in tandem as his hardened length came into contact with your core, Elrond whispering a curse as he buried his face in your neck. He repeated the action with more intention, taking hold of his cock to run it through your folds, slick with arousal. Your breath shortened as he circled your clit with the tip, your mind becoming hazier. Elrond lifted his head and pressed his forehead to yours, and you felt his shaky breath against your lips. The question was clear in his eyes, asking for your permission, and you tightened your legs around him to reply.

His tip passed your entrance, stretching you open in the most pleasant way. The melody of your moans only intensified as he slowly sank into you, his hand gripping your hip tightly. His eyes were screwed shut, and he swore under his breath again, his lips brushing yours in the process. He released his hand from your hip, smoothing over the skin that he had held so tightly, as if to soothe any hurt he had caused. If he had, you hadn’t noticed.

Elrond pulled out almost completely, before he sank back in with a slow roll of his hips. He set a steady pace at first, both of you just revelling in the feel of being so connected, so close. He brought his lips to yours once more, taking his time to really taste you, to feel every movement so deeply.

His hands smoothed down your sides as he pulled away slightly to gaze down at you, goosebumps raising under his touch. “You are so perfect” he spoke reverently, his tone nothing short of worshipping, and you could feel your cheeks flush, even now. The change in angle had your back arching, and as a heavy moan left your lips, Elrond gripped your hips tightly again. It seemed that something in him snapped after that, any restraint that he had demonstrated melted away, and letting what desire coursed through his veins take ahold of him.

His pace was fracturing then, his breath heavy against your skin as he leaned over to paint affection across your collarbone and chest. His fingers danced along the skin of your abdomen, taking a path downwards that had you already writhing at the anticipation. He drew tight circles around your clit, and combined with the feel of his cock dragging against your walls, hitting the deepest parts of you, you were ready to come undone in a matter of seconds.

“That’s it, meleth nín. Let go for me” he whispered against your ear, the added sensation of his lips against the sensitive area making your orgasm rip through you almost immediately.

Your vision blurred, white hot bliss searing through your veins as you were pushed over the edge, and Elrond followed you over, letting out a low grunt as he spilled all of himself inside of you. He held himself over you as he regained his breath, meeting your eyes again and letting a fatigued grin lift his lips, his eyelids heavy.

You pulled him down and into a slow kiss, your hands on the back of his neck, gently tugging at the curls at the base of his head. He brought his forehead to yours as you broke the kiss, and wound an arm around your waist to hold you tightly to him.

“You know…” he began, something playful in his eyes, mouth twitching with a smirk, “in the eyes of some, this would make us husband and wife”

You chuckled, wrapping your arms around his neck, “I think I could live with people believing that”

Elrond hummed amusedly, gently tracing his nose along yours in a tender gesture. “Do not think of this as my proposal” he murmured, “one day, I shall ask you properly”

How Silm characters would react to meeting their Rings of Power counterparts:

Gil-Galad:

Oh they do not like each other

"I'm sorry, you said what to Elrond?"

RoP!Gil thinks Silm!Gil isn't detached and regal enough

Silm!Gil is trying to figure out the political consequences of decking him

"I'm sorry, you sent Galadriel where??"

At some point RoP!Gil, who can't believe this is another version of him, asks Silm!Gil what his royal lineage is

Silm!Gil gets real quiet after that lmao

If they ended up physically fighting Silm!Gil would win RoP!Gil fights like a normal elf and Silm!Gil bites

I think the Elronds have to pull them apart eventually

Elrond:

The Elronds get along very well I think

Silm!Elrond teaches RoP!Elrond some eldritchry

RoP!Elrond tells Silm!Elrond all about his speech craft

I think Silm!Elrond would be very into animal-carcass-related metaphors, he's a weird little guy

I feel like Silm!Elrond would feel bad for RoP!Elrond, who clearly deals with a lot of disrespect in Lindon, and would try to teach him how to be a bit more assertive

They bond over having to deal with everyone else's bullshit

Galadriel:

See this is bad for Middle-Earth

Silm!Galadriel is less openly angry but just as much of a force of nature as RoP!Galadriel

And Silm!Galadriel is also a lot better at the more subtle conniving stuff so between them they do, in fact, possess all the skills needed to take over Middle-Earth

They're busy scheming up plans to wipe Sauron off the face of the planet and frankly good for them

Celebrimbor:

They also get along very well

They talk for 15 straight hours about forge stuff

Silm!Cel talks about Annatar and RoP!Cel is like "lovely! no red flags here!"

RoP!Cel talks about how the idea for the rings came from some random, very suspicious "human" and Silm!Cel is like "haha yeah inspiration comes from the strangest places sometimes'

They're a little bit stupid but they're also beefy and kind so we can forgive them

Sauron:

Halbrand and Annatar immediatly start viciously insulting each other

They both accuse each other of having terrible taste (in Finweans and incarnate forms)

"Useless sparkly twink!" "Filthy mortal!" "I can't believe you tried to seduce Celebrimbor!" "At least I didn't try and fail to seduce Galadriel!"

Annatar finds out about the situation with Adar and the orcs and bullys Halbrand relentlessly about it

Sauron's ego can't take there being more than one version of him

Hopefully they keep each other busy until the Galadriels smite them

#silmarillion #silm headcanons #the rings of power #the rings of power headcanons #elrond #elrond peredhel #galadriel #gil galad #celebrimbor #sauron #annatar #halbrand #to be clear i love both the Silm and TRoP

Lord of the rings X druid!reader headcanons

Legolas x reader, Thranduil x reader, Gandalf x reader (platonic), Merry/Pippin x reader (platonic), Elanor x reader.

Legolas

🧚‍♀️ Legolas is very curious and excited! He wants to know EVERYTHING about you and what you can do!

🧚‍♀️ But he finds the fact that you can turn to different kinds of animals the most interesting, and asks you a lot of questions about every animal you can transform too.

“Y/n what is that for an odd creature?”

“It’s a seastar”

“A STAR!??” 🤩

🧚‍♀️ Asks you if he can touch you in your animal forms. He lights up with happiness when you say ‘yes’ and touches you with utmost care and curiosity.

🧚‍♀️ Loves carrying you around in your smaller forms. If you turn to a snake he’ll put you around his neck like a necklace, a bird on his head or any other animal that can be on his shoulders.

🧚‍♀️ When the fellowship was in the snowy mountains and while the others had to walk in the deep snow, you were a little mouse in Legolas warm pocket. Not needing to do anything and Legolas didn’t need to worry about your safety. Win-win.

Thranduil

“I thought the druids died out for 4000 years ago, guess i was wrong”

🍷 Like Legolas he is very much interested but in a more calmer and quieter way. He also likes the animal shapes more.

🍷 He likes when you turn to a little bird and sit on his shoulder whenever he goes to different places.

🍷 LOVES when he sits on his throne and you turn to a smaller animal and sit on his large hand and put your tiny paws on his fingers- the king has heart eyes. 😍 (yes you are his pet now lol) And he totally would feed you grapes too.

🍷 Other than that he also likes your plant and flower abilities. He has left the garden's beauty to you and it is shining more beautifully than it ever has since you came into his life- or perhaps it is just (amazing) you who has grown beautiful and colorful flowers in his heart❤.

🍷 And of course he will try out some of your abilities in the bedroom 😉

Gandalf

🧙‍♂️ Sorry Frodo, Sorry Bilbo, y/n is his number one favorite friend now!

🧙‍♂️ He is very fascinated over your elemental abilities. Wind, water, fire, plants/trees? “What can you do?”

🧙‍♂️ Gandalf would try (hard) to not sound too eager and excited when you show him. But he can’t help but smile and laugh when you make a phoenix appear out of the fire.

🧙‍♂️ Might show you his ‘magic’ if you ask nicely and you will inspire one another.

🧙‍♂️ If you have any difficulties with your training and elemental controlling he will give you advice and guidance with what he knows.

🧙‍♂️ Gandalf wouldn't mind if you join him for a while on his journey. He greatly enjoys your company.

Merry/Pippin

🤡 Oh no! OH NOOO! Gandalf will pray to god ... .PLEASE DON’T LET THE WORLD END!!

🤡 When they learn what you are, they will storm you with questions. They will drag you with them for every little prank and misery they are planning.

“Y/n, can you turn to bird and poop on someone's hea-” (pippin)

“No!”

“Can you poop in someones drin-”

“No!”

“Can you-”

“ENOUGH WITH THESE POOP REQUESTS!!!!”

🤡 If you meet on the ring quest, they will ask you to turn to a larger and fluffy animal, like a bear so they can sleep with (on) you on cold nights (like the bear in jungle book? Yes!) Boromir will get jealous because you stole his children. 😢

Elanor Brandyfoot

🐌 The others don't trust you and don't want you around until you show them how quickly you can turn seeds to flowers.

🐌 Elanor will try to calm them down and talk to them so they don’t ‘use’ you for their ‘food greed’.

🐌 You two will have a contest of who is quickest to fill a bucket with berries, buuut of course Elanor wins.

“Looks like ya powers weren't able to outmatch me!”

🐌 She loves to see your abilities and is very happy that others like you too and have accepted you to the group, but she gets a little jealous when you get too much attention because she wants to be alone with you too!

🐌 She loves the evenings when things have been calming down and laying under the stars with her head on your (larger) animal form. Petting you is very calming for her and she mostly falls asleep like that with you.

Thank you for reading! I hope you like it! 💖

Mirdania is Celebrimbor’s child in all but blood, I take no argument. When she goes to the Halls, she’s immediately surrounded by a large company of Finwëans who all feel incredibly old and just stare at each other like:

Tyelpë has a daughter??!!

Anyway, she very quickly finds out about what went down with Annatar and well… Celebrimbor joins them all soon enough. His soul is in a lot of pain and Nienna is already on her way to give him her strength and hold him together.

But the first person he sees, or rather the first person who approaches, is Mirdania, who takes in his state and gives him literally the biggest hug. He clings back to her, weeping, and she just squeezes tighter.

“I’m so sorry…”

“So am I.” She looks him in the eyes, determined for him to understand this if nothing else. “But it wasn’t either of our faults.”

Anyway his pseudo daughter is quickly claimed by the House of Fëanor and finds herself with a very large extended family to look forward to meeting. In and out the Halls.

She leaves sooner than Celebrimbor, but you best bet she’s right there at the gates when he finally heals enough to come out.

how would the elves react to this?

↓

Thranduil, Elrond, Círdan Versions are below.

🍷𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓾𝓲𝓵

𐂂 Thranduil Caught in a Spider’s Trap and Falling into a Pit While Thranduil and the reader/you are engaged in battle against a group of hostile giant spider in the depths of Mirkwood and reader/you save him

The darkness of Mirkwood had always been an ever-present threat, but tonight it felt even more suffocating. The night air was thick with the scent of damp earth and the faint, almost nauseating tang of decay. The battle raged around Thranduil and you—swarming spiders, venomous and vile, scuttled across the floor of the forest like dark shadows, their eyes glinting in the moonlight. The vicious creatures had long plagued the ancient woods, their hunger insatiable, their venom deadly. Thranduil’s blade flashed in the dim light as he fought off one of the monstrous arachnids, his movements graceful and deliberate, as always. His skill with a sword was unmatched, every strike a precise decision. Yet, for all his agility and battle-hardened experience, he was not immune to the dangers of the forest. Beneath his feet, the ground suddenly shifted.

The earth trembled, the roots of the ancient trees groaning under the weight of the battle and the forces of nature. Thranduil’s eyes narrowed in alarm as the ground crumbled beneath him. He had little time to react before his booted feet were swallowed by the shifting soil, and he found himself falling. A sharp gasp escaped his lips as he plunged downward, the pit opening beneath him like a maw, pulling him further into its depths. The trees above him seemed distant as he plummeted, the foliage that once protected the woodland king now closing in, smothering the light and muffling the sounds of battle above. But it wasn’t just the pit that threatened him. Thranduil’s sharp elven senses picked up the faintest rustling, the quiet skittering sound of something moving in the shadows. He barely had time to react as he twisted mid-fall, catching sight of the massive spider—a hulking creature with glistening, venomous fangs and limbs long enough to span a dozen men. It leapt from a nearby tree with frightening speed, its webbing trailing behind it like a death sentence.

Before he could draw his blade or think of a way out, the spider’s web shot forward, its strands wrapping around his body, gluing him halfway down in the pit. His movements were slowed, his legs pinned, and the sticky threads clung to him like chains. His once-immaculate silver armor was now tangled in the webbing, and Thranduil, struggling against the sticky strands, felt the cold grasp of helplessness for a brief moment. The spiders began to circle, their multi-eyed gaze trained on their prey. Thranduil’s breathing quickened as his thoughts turned to escape. His mind raced with calculations, his thoughts sharp as ever despite the danger. He knew he needed to act swiftly if he were to survive this—he needed to cut through the webbing, but his sword was too far out of reach. The pit was deep, the air thick with the smell of the forest and the acrid scent of spider venom. It was then, as the spiders closed in, that a sudden, unexpected force swept through the pit—you. In a flash, you appeared at the edge of the pit, your form illuminated by the faint glow of the moon above. You leapt into the pit without hesitation, your feet landing soundlessly in the shifting soil as you avoided the webs and debris that littered the area. There was no fear in your movements, no hesitation. You had seen the danger, and in a heartbeat, you had made your decision. Thranduil’s sharp gaze followed your every movement, his mind struggling to reconcile the vulnerability he felt with the awe he couldn’t help but feel for your bravery.

Without wasting a moment, you sprinted toward him, your hands steady as you carefully sliced through the thick webbing with a blade or a sharp object of your own. The spiders hissed and clicked their mandibles, closing in around you both, their large bodies casting ominous shadows across the pit. The tension was palpable—the spiders were relentless, sensing the weakness of their prey, and yet, despite their terrifying size, you didn’t flinch. With a swift motion, you freed Thranduil from the sticky grasp of the webs. His body collapsed forward, his limbs unsteady, but you were there to catch him. The webbing still clung to parts of him, but now it was only a minor hindrance. The king’s eyes met yours as he stood, his chest heaving with effort, his breath shallow, but alive. There was a flicker of disbelief in his gaze as he processed what had just happened. His regal poise had faltered in the face of danger, but the moment he saw you fight off the approaching spiders, his admiration for you grew tenfold. You had protected him, not with hesitation or doubt, but with decisiveness, your every action driven by an unwavering will to keep him safe.

Thranduil moved, his hand instinctively reaching for his sword, the glint of his blade reflecting in the dim light. His stance was shaky, but his resolve was firm. The spiders were not to be underestimated, but he could see the way you handled yourself. You were a force of nature in your own right. As the spiders charged, you stood side by side with him, your weapons raised in defense. Thranduil’s mind quickly shifted back to the task at hand. The pit, the danger—it was all secondary now. Your loyalty to him, your willingness to fight by his side, it made all the difference. His voice, hoarse but steady, broke the tension. “You have my gratitude,” he said, his voice low yet filled with an undeniable warmth. There was no formality in his words, no barriers to his sincerity. It was rare for Thranduil to show such vulnerability, but in that moment, he was truly grateful. He moved with you, fighting back the arachnids with precision and strength. The battle was fierce, but together, you were unstoppable. And as the last of the spiders was slain and the pit began to quiet, the king’s gaze softened toward you once more. He was still breathing heavily, his armor now torn and stained, but his respect for you—his appreciation—was clear in the quiet gaze he held upon you.

“Thank you,” he said again, softer this time, his voice laced with gratitude. “I would not have survived this without you.” And in the depths of Mirkwood, surrounded by the echoing silence of the forest, it was clear that something had shifted. Thranduil had always been a king of stone, his heart a fortress built from centuries of loss and sorrow. But with you by his side, something in him softened, and for the first time in many years, he allowed himself to feel a flicker of connection—something real and enduring, something that went beyond the duty of a king and the loyalty of his subjects. It was something he had not expected. But in the pit, with you fighting by his side, he knew—you were his ally, his protector, and perhaps, in time, something more.

✶ Avalanche/Rockslide While traveling in the mountains near Rivendell, Elrond is caught in a sudden rockslide. The reader shoves him out of the way or shields him with their body, taking the impact themselves.

The mountain path was narrow, winding precariously along the steep slopes that framed Rivendell in its protective embrace. The air was crisp and sharp with the scent of pine and stone, the faintest hint of snow carried on the wind from the higher peaks. Elrond moved ahead with an ease that belied the dangers of the terrain, his every step deliberate and precise. His deep blue-gray cloak swayed gently as he walked, the fine embroidery of Rivendell’s craftsmanship catching the occasional glint of sunlight filtering through the clouds. This trail was familiar to him—one he had traveled many times in search of solitude or to meet travelers approaching from the wilds. He had always admired the way the mountains framed the valley, the ridges standing like silent sentinels over his home. But today, there was a strange tension in the air, an unspoken unease that made him glance up toward the looming cliffs above. The skies had darkened slightly, the rumble of distant thunder echoing faintly through the peaks.

“Elrond,” you called from behind, your voice carrying over the whisper of the wind. “Do you think we should move faster? This weather… it feels strange.” He paused, turning to look at you. His dark hair framed his face, and for a moment, the concern in his sharp gaze was evident. He studied the rocks above and then the path ahead, his instincts honed by centuries of experience. “The mountains are prone to shifts,” he said, his voice calm yet carrying an undercurrent of caution. “We will tread carefully, but there is no need to rush. Fear clouds the mind and invites missteps.” His words were meant to reassure, and as always, his composure gave you a sense of security. But just as you were about to reply, a low, ominous rumble rolled through the mountains. It started softly, a vibration you felt in the soles of your boots, before growing into a deep, resounding groan that seemed to echo all around you. The very earth beneath you shuddered.

“Elrond—” you started, your voice edged with alarm, but he had already turned sharply, his eyes darting upward. The cliffs above you began to shift, a cascade of loose stones tumbling down the slope. Then came the unmistakable sound of cracking rock, loud and jarring. A section of the mountainside gave way, and in an instant, boulders and debris began to hurtle downward, crashing against the slopes with terrifying speed. The ground quaked beneath your feet as the rockslide roared to life. “Elrond, move!” you shouted, your body already reacting before you had time to think. Elrond’s eyes snapped to you, wide with alarm—but he hesitated, looking back toward the path, clearly calculating the best way to evade the deadly rush of stone. That moment of hesitation was enough to make your decision for you. Without a second thought, you lunged toward him, shoving him hard toward the edge of the path, where the rocks seemed less likely to strike.

The force of your push sent him stumbling out of harm’s way, but it left you exposed. The world seemed to blur as the avalanche of rock and debris thundered down. You felt the sharp, jarring impact of stone against your back and shoulders, the force of it knocking the air from your lungs. Pain exploded through you as a heavy boulder clipped your side, sending you sprawling to the ground. Dust and grit filled the air, making it hard to breathe, hard to see. Through the chaos, you vaguely registered Elrond’s voice, sharp and commanding, cutting through the din. “No!” It wasn’t the composed tone you were used to—it was raw, laced with a fear you had never heard from him before.You tried to push yourself up, but the weight of the rocks pressing against you made it nearly impossible. Your limbs felt heavy, your vision swimming as the world began to quiet, the deafening roar of the rockslide fading into an eerie stillness. The pain was overwhelming, but even through the haze, you could feel someone pulling at the stones, hands firm yet careful as they worked to free you.

“Elrond…” you murmured, your voice barely audible. “I am here,” he said, his tone steady but trembling at the edges. “Do not move.” His hands, so skilled and steady, worked with a precision born of centuries of healing as he cleared the debris from your body. The weight was gradually lifted, but the damage had already been done. You could see the flicker of anguish in his eyes as he assessed your injuries, his composure cracking ever so slightly. “You should have let me take the fall,” he said softly, his voice thick with emotion as he crouched beside you. His hands moved over you with practiced care, pressing gently against your ribs, checking for fractures. “This is my fault—I should have seen the signs. I should have—” His voice broke, but he forced himself to focus, his hands glowing faintly with Elvish healing light as he worked to stabilize you. “You’re… too important to lose,” you whispered, your voice weak but firm despite the pain. “I couldn’t let that happen.”

Elrond’s movements stilled for a moment, his gaze meeting yours. The look in his eyes was devastating—an ocean of guilt, gratitude, and something deeper, something he would never allow himself to say aloud. “And what of you?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. “You would trade your life for mine so easily?” You managed a faint, lopsided smile. “Not easily. But it was worth it.” His jaw tightened, and he returned to his work, his hands moving with renewed urgency. “You will not leave me,” he said, the words quiet but filled with an unshakable resolve. “Not like this. I will not allow it.”

You felt the warmth of his healing light spreading through you, dulling the sharp edges of the pain. Still, you could see the strain on his face, the way his usually steady hands trembled slightly as he poured his energy into saving you. It wasn’t just the physical wounds he was trying to heal—there was something breaking inside him, something he couldn’t hide. As the pain began to subside, you reached up weakly, your fingers brushing against his hand. “Elrond,” you murmured. “It’s not your fault.” He looked at you, his expression fierce and unguarded. “Perhaps not,” he said, his voice low and heavy. “But it is my responsibility to protect you—and I failed.”

“You didn’t fail,” you replied, your voice barely audible. “You saved me.” He shook his head, his composure faltering further as he cupped your hand in his own. “And you saved me. At too great a cost.” The silence between you was filled with the distant sound of falling stones and the soft rush of wind through the mountains. As Elrond worked tirelessly to tend to your wounds, his touch gentle and his brow furrowed in concentration, you realized that the walls he had so carefully built around himself had cracked—if only for a moment. And in that moment, the weight of his heart was laid bare.

𓇼 Tides of Sacrifice While sailing across a storm-ravaged sea, Círdan, the ancient mariner, is thrown overboard by a violent wave. The reader/you rushes to save him, braving the treacherous waters and risking their own life to pull him back from the brink of death.

The wind roared like a living beast, tearing at the sails and lashing the ship with relentless fury. The sea, dark and churning, rose in great swells that battered the hull as if determined to drag the vessel into its depths. Amid the chaos, Círdan moved across the deck with the sure-footed grace of one who had spent long ages upon the seas, his grey hair whipping wildly in the storm’s fury. Yet even the oldest mariner can be caught off guard when the sea is angry. A sudden, violent lurch of the ship sent crates tumbling, ropes snapping like serpents. Círdan reached for the rail to steady himself, but the slick wood betrayed him. His footing gave way beneath him. For the first time in countless years, his balance failed. Time seemed to slow as his ancient form fell, his outstretched hand just grazing the railing before he vanished overboard into the merciless sea.

The sound of the splash was swallowed almost instantly by the howling storm, yet it echoed in your ears, sharp as a blade. For a moment, panic seized the deck. The crew shouted his name, their voices carried away by the wind, but no sign of him rose from the waves. The great Círdan—ancient, wise, and revered—had been claimed by the raging sea. Without thought, without hesitation, you flung yourself over the side. The shock of the icy water hit you like a thousand knives, stealing your breath and smothering the sounds of the storm. The sea was alive, pulling and twisting around you, trying to drag you into its embrace. Salt stung your eyes as you dove deeper, the world a murky whirl of gray and black, but you forced yourself to focus. Somewhere below, Círdan was sinking into the deep.

At last, through the gloom, you caught a glimpse of him. His silver hair floated around his face like a halo, his limbs weighed down by the heavy robes he wore. He was still conscious, though weakened, his movements sluggish as the current tugged at him. Gritting your teeth, you kicked hard, fighting the pull of the waves until your fingers closed around his arm. He turned his head toward you, his eyes wide with a mixture of surprise and something deeper—a silent plea not for himself, but for you. The sea is no place for mortals, and he knew this better than anyone. Yet you did not let go. Bracing yourself against the cold and your screaming lungs, you pulled him upward, stroke by stroke, until at last the surface shattered around you both, and you gasped for air.

The storm raged on, but the ship was there, its lights faint beacons through the downpour. Voices called out as ropes were lowered, hands reaching to haul you back aboard. Círdan, though shivering and pale, was heavier than you imagined, but you held on, your arms trembling as the crew helped drag him to safety. Once both of you were sprawled on the deck, the world seemed to steady itself. The sea still roared, the wind still screamed, but the focus of all eyes was on Círdan and you. You coughed, water spilling from your lungs as you lay gasping, too tired to move. Beside you, Círdan slowly sat up, his movements deliberate, as though the weight of what had just occurred pressed upon him more than the storm or the cold ever could.

His ancient face, lined by centuries of wisdom and sorrow, turned toward you. His grey eyes, deep as the sea itself, met yours, holding you there as if trying to fathom the heart that had risked itself for him. “Why?” he asked softly, his voice carrying through the wind, clear as a bell despite its gentleness. The question was not a rebuke but a quiet wonder, spoken by one who rarely found himself surprised. “Why would you risk your life… for one such as I?”

He reached out, his hand trembling slightly, though not from the cold. His grip found yours, steadying both of you, anchoring the moment between you. Around you, the crew murmured, relieved and awed, but Círdan’s focus never wavered. For a long moment, he simply gazed at you, his expression one of quiet reverence—an emotion so rarely seen from one as composed as he. “Long have I walked this world. Long have I guided others across treacherous waters. But never… never did I imagine one would turn back for me.” His voice caught, and his brow furrowed as though the weight of your action bore down upon him.

You could see it then—the great depths of Círdan’s heart. He had seen empires rise and fall, kin sail West never to return, and endless battles won and lost. Yet now, in this fleeting moment, he looked at you with something like awe, as though he had glimpsed something precious, a light no shadow could touch. “You gave much,” he murmured, his voice steadying as he gathered himself. “More than I deserved, I think, but still you gave it. And for that, I am in your debt.” Slowly, painfully, he rose to his feet, and though his body trembled from the cold, his bearing held the dignity of the lord he was. He extended a hand to you, pulling you up beside him.

“Acts of courage such as yours shine brighter than the Silmarils,” he said softly, his gaze never leaving yours. “I have lived through many storms, and I have seen the strength of many hearts. But yours, today, burns brightest of all.” His hand, steady and warm despite the chill, rested briefly on your shoulder. “Know this,” he continued, his voice carrying the weight of an oath. “Whatever path lies before you, you shall not walk it alone. Should you ever call upon me, I will come. For you have given me a gift beyond measure—a life returned, when I had thought all debts long paid.”

Círdan turned then, his face lifted to the dark sky, the rain pouring over him. “The sea has taken much from me,” he murmured, almost to himself, “but it will not take my gratitude. Not now, not ever.” And in that moment, despite the cold, despite the storm, a strange warmth settled within you—a knowledge that even in the vastness of this world, even in its ancient, unyielding tides, your act of courage had changed something. For you had saved not just a life, but a legend. And Círdan would never forget.
