#lotr ff

[nihilizzzm]

So as I already stated, I just started uni and i have suddenly fuckin stuff to do and I am writing but not as much as i was able to before. However I still want to bring something to the table so I am posting this fragment from 16 chapters ff I am still working on (i will finish it i have to, it’s my personal task to do, I will despise myself if i leave it).

So here’s a lovely young Faramir and Boromir moment for you, enjoy

————

“Mithrandir! It’s him, Faramir, I told you I saw him!”

“Mithrandir!”

Gandalf laughed softly when he saw two little figures running towards him through the white corridor. Last time he saw son’s of Denethor, Faramir was barely able to run, now he caught up with his brother almost immediately. The sight of children’s excited faces, after long hours of fruitless debating with their father and his advisers, lightened old man’s soul a bit.

“There you are, I started to worry you forgot my name after all this time!”

“What were you discussing with father?” Boromir’s eyes sparkled wickedly.

“That, my dear boy, is none of your business for now. Nothing you have to worry about.”

“Mithrandir, Mithrandir look! I lost my tooth last week!” Faramir smiled widely, showing indeed a big hole when his front tooth used to be.

“That is a big event, young one”, said Gandalf, with a very serious voice.

“Yeah, Boromir slammed the door in my face, but it was moving anyway!”

The Wizard looked at the older brother with raised brow. Boromir had at least some decency to look ashamed. “It was an accident”, he muttered indistinctly, and Gandalf couldn’t help but chuckle.

“I missed you two rascals”, he admitted, messing Faramir’s hair. He slowly started walking to the exit of the citadel, both boys still all around him. Boromir was running, circling him, talking constantly and waving his wooden sword all around, being absolutely satisfied with Gandalf’s very expressive nods. Faramir, on the other hand, grabbed the sleeve of his grey, long robe, and was holding it for dear life, having to also run in order to be able to follow Wizard’s steps. When they finally reached the courtyard and their eyes were presented with the White Tree, Faramir pulled the sleeve.

“Mithrandir! Would you tell us a story?”

Boromir stopped talking for a moment, only to grab other sleeve. “Yes! Tell us something!” And after a moment he added “Please?”

“Will you two promise to behave?” The Wizard raised both of his eyebrows. The answer to his question were two heads, nodding intensively. “Than I guess I might find some time for you in my schedule.”

Boromir grinned and Faramir let out a squeak of happiness. They seated themselves under the rotten tree, Gandalf on the one of benches, two boys on the grass in front of him.

“Well, what would you like to hear about?”, he asked, taking out his pipe and lightening it up.

“Oh, oh, oh! Tell us again about the journey of the little burglar and the dwarven prince and his company!” Faramir’s eyes were sparkling with excitement.

Boromir made a face. “No, it’s boring!” He looked at his brother and then again at Gandalf. “I want to hear about the Dragonslayer!”

“Well, boys, you have to get to the agreement”, Gandalf seated himself, looking at the children, amused. He let out a big circle of smoke, to which Faramir giggled cheerfully.

“But the journey is so great, I like how the dwarven prince accepts the little burglar as his friend, even though he is not the great soldier he expected!” Faramir’s wise eyes met his brother’s. “It shows that the worth of a person is not their size but their heart, doesn’t it, Mithrandir? That’s what you said before!”

“But the Dragonslayer part is much more interesting! It tells about the strong, brave man who slayed the big dragon with only his sword!” Boromir jumped on his feet, pulling out his wooden weapon again. “When I grow up I will slay hundreds of dragons! I will be a great soldier like him!”

Gandalf raised his brows, chewing on the end of his pipe, waiting carefully for the discussion’s result.

“He didn’t do it with sword”, explained Faramir with a smart voice. “He did it with an arrow, that’s why he called himself the Archer when he crowned himself king. Didn’t he, Gandalf?”

“Well, first of all, my dear Faramir”, said Gandalf, meeting two pair of eyes focused on him. “He didn’t crown himself and he also didn’t call himself anything. His name was Bard, and he was indeed very brave.”

“But he killed the dragon with an arrow?” Faramir still tried to make his point.

“Yes, he did. With a black arrow he annihilated Smaug the Destroyer. That’s why people of Lake Town gave him his nickname, and he has gone down in history as Bard the Bowman.”

“Why didn’t he named himself something greater?” Boromir seated himself down again. “He was a rightful king, AND he killed a dragon.”

“He was just a ferryman”, Gandalf looked at Boromir. Young boy’s hair has fallen down from the bun he was wearing and were all over his face. “He was indeed a descendant from the old rulers of Dale, but it was not Dale anymore. It was Lake Town, and the only thing reminding of his ancestors was the black arrow.”

“So he took the chance to reclaim what was his when he could?”, boy’s eyes sparkled again. Gandalf sighed, the older one was clearly full of stories his father’s servants told him.

“No, he was chosen by the people. Not because his heritage, but because of his bravery and his ability to lead the people, care for them and provide them with safety. He gave them hope.” The Wizard looked firstly at Boromir who seemed not fully convinced, and then at Faramir who was listening with his mouth open. “Remember boys, it is not a crown or a father’s blood that makes you a good ruler. It is your ability for taking care of your people, and winning their hearts not with sword, but with wisdom and love.”

Faramir frowned. “So when the King will return to Gondor we have to make sure he is not just an overconfident, careless knight?”

Boromir snorted. Gandalf looked into the sky, letting out another circle of smoke. He smirked, remembering something. Or someone. “Yes, Faramir. When the King returns it will be the job of you both, to decide if he is worthy of Gondor and her people”, he said, and then added to himself only “But I feel you will like him, eventually.”

“What did you say?” Boromir asked, looking at him with a surprised face.

“Oh, nothing important, my dear boy!” With that words, Gandalf smiled again. Then he tilted his head back and let out a big cloud of smoke. Instead of usual circle, smoke formed itself into a small dragon, that flew around Faramir and crushed itself on Boromir’s face. The boy coughed and his younger brother chuckled. “I think I know just the story you both will like, it contains a battle full of brave soldiers and acts of greatness.” To that Boromir grinned widely. “And it also finishes the story about the little burglar and the dwarven prince, Thorin Oakenshield.” Faramir also smiled. “But I have to warn you, it is a story only for big boys. This day is remembered as the Battle of Five Armies…”

So yeah, that’s it from me for now, this ff is my child and I will raise it at some point 💀

Daily reminder that it happened twice for someone to be compared to Oromë while riding into battle. The first one was Fingolfin. The second one was Théoden.

Fingolfin, burning with so much rage, Beleriand ablaze, his nephews dead, eyes so bright and inhuman and otherwordly that he gets mistaken for a Vala. And he challenged Morgoth to a fight, and wounded him seven times, and scarred him for the rest of eternity, and orcs made no boast about that duel, and no songs were sung about it, for the sorrow was too deep.

And Théoden. Just. Théoden. Whose mind was poisoned, whose son was dead, and the world was falling apart around him, but who would not stand down and would not give up. And the armies of Rohan came, the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them.

Something about Fingolfin riding out to challenge Morgoth in wrath and despair, raging at the world and nothing going as it should be — something about Théoden riding out in wrath and hope, because there is a better future and he will be damned if he doesn't do everything in his power to lead the world to it.

#brought to you by #emas and emilys dumb midnight talks #not-midnigt edition #but yeah i have FEELS about this okay #the thing is #there are SO MANY characters you would expect to get compared to a vala over theoden #ffs aragorn is in the same book #but nope #it's théoden #the man the myth the legend #i just love him okay #theoden #fingolfin #silmarillion #lotr #lord of the rings #tolkien

Hi, read your headcanons about the fellowship and wanted to ask for some HC's about Legolas being in love with an elf reader. Preferably female, if that's possible. THX

Re.: Of course, Thank you for asking. I often thought about that, so I hope it's alright.

Headcanon Request - Lord of the Rings summary: Legolas is in love with a female elf

(added: character art, what they would say to them, or about them)

Stolen Glances: Legolas can't help but steal glances at you when he thinks no one is looking. His eyes find your effortlessly, and he cherishes the moments when your gazes meet, a silent exchange of your affection.

"In your eyes, I see a world of wonder and courage, and in your heart, I find the most beautiful melodies of love and strength."

Whispers in the Woods: You often communicate through soft, whispered conversations in the heart of the forest. The tranquility of the woods mirrors the serenity of your love. Although you don't need words at all to comunicate.

Language of Flowers: Legolas memorizes your favorite flowers and leaves them where you'll find them, each bloom carrying a message of his love and admiration. (And he definitely knows the meanings of every single flower, everytime you get a bouquet it's like a poem)

Hidden Keepsakes: In his private quarters, Legolas keeps small trinkets and tokens you've given him over time, treasures he holds dear and takes comfort in during lonely nights, or when your away/ when he misses you.

Stargazing Together: One of your favorite pastimes is stargazing. You find constellations together, creating your own stories in the night sky and lay there for hours.

"Among all the stars in the night sky, it is your radiance that guides me through life's journeys, and I am forever grateful for your presence in my world."

Comfort in His Presence: Your presence brings Legolas a sense of calm and contentment. He often seeks solace in your company during moments of reflection. (You'd often find youself with him in your arms, stroking his hair, comforting him - especially after disagreements with Thranduil)

"My loyalty to you and our people remains steadfast, but my heart has found a home in a world beyond the borders of the Woodland Realm." Legolas to Thranduil

Loving Affection: He expresses his love through affectionate gestures, like gentle caresses, forehead kisses, and tender embraces. He's very soft, always making sure you're comfortbale

Your Laugh: Legolas adores your laughter. He often finds ways to make you smile, cherishing the sound as one of the most beautiful melodies in Middle-earth. It is not just the sound but also the sign, since he loves to see you smile. (He goes to great lengths to bring joy to your life, whether through humorous stories or playful antics.)

Shared Silences: You're comfortable in each other's silence. Sometimes, words aren't necessary as your presence alone brings peace and contentment. You just need to know that you're close.

Fingers Intertwined: Legolas has a habit of gently intertwining his fingers with yours whenever you walk side by side, a silent declaration of your connection. He'd also do that during audiences and other commitments he must attend.

Attentive Listener: He's a patient and attentive listener, valuing your words and insights and seeking your opinions on important matters. However sometimes he just enjoys listening to your voice, that gives him a sense of comfort

Your Elegance : He admires the way you handle your bow and arrows with such grace. It's a skill that he finds endlessly captivating. He'd often say that you're much better than him (something he would tell no one else).

Pride in Your Strength: He takes great pride in your strength, both physical and emotional, and often tells you how impressed he is by your abilities

Gentle Respect: Legolas treats you with the utmost respect, always considering your thoughts and feelings in any situation.

Secretly Protective: While you are a formidable warrior on your own , Legolas can't help but be secretly protective, always watching your back in battle and ensuring your safety. (You're definitely more important than him)

Your Name in Elvish: He often murmurs your name in Elvish under his breath, finding comfort in the way it rolls off his tongue. You can catch him smiling whenever your name is said.

Eternal Commitment: Legolas contemplates the idea of eternity together, envisioning the ages you'll spend side by side, facing whatever challenges comes your way.

Confidant and Supporter: You're his confidant, and he turns to you for advice and solace in times of uncertainty. Your unwavering support is a source of strength for him.

Shared Adventures: He involves you in his adventures, wanting to create memories together and share the thrill of exploration.

Unspoken Promises: You share unspoken promises of a future filled with love, adventure, and unwavering devotion, with every glance and touch reinforcing your commitment to each other.

"Every day by your side is an adventure worth cherishing, for you bring light to the darkest of places and joy to my soul."

just some thoughts of namkook as the wizards in lotr. jungkook, chief of the order of the istari and namjoon, wisest of the istari, wielder of light & fire. nj's never opposed jk's higher position, and it never got in the way of their (hidden) relationship. until the one ring.

namjoon has heard the 1 ring has been uncovered from its hiding place and is seeking to be returned back to its master. as is custom, nj has to alert the council of this terrifying matter - alert ungjkook. they had last met only a few months ago, they didn't have a long time to be together.

and so namjoon hurries to jungkook, heart beating painfully against his chest. jungkook will know what to do, he's been so perfect as chief of the order, so strong and knowledgeable - so pure and kind. jungkook meets him at the tower, his white robes billowing beside him as he runs down barefoot.

jungkook places a soft, tender hand on namjoon's wide shoulders as they make their way inside. they've always kept their relationship a secret from the order, not sure what would happen. "is it true what i've heard?" he asks, face full of worry. namjoon nods solemnly. "we must speak, alone."

jungkook takes them to his office, all the way up the tower, away from prying eyes. only then does namjoon pull jungkook into his arms, hands around his waist, huffing out a distressed sigh as he kisses jungkook's nape. "i don't know what to do. we have to destory it, but how?"

jungkook is quiet, his hands shaking a little as he hugs namjoon back. he plays with the back of namjoon's nape, fingers and nails gently scraping against his neck. "hyung, what exactly do you know?" jungkook's eyes are so wide, so beautiful. namjoon tells him everything.

jungkook listens quietly, carefully. nodding, his eyebrows creased in concentration as he watches namjoon pace around the room. when namjoon's done he turns back to jungkook, waiting for his wise council.

"hyung..." jungkook starts. "middle earth will soon be at war. sauron is gathering all forces of evil and darkness to him. mordor is going to be unleashed."

"how do you know this?" namjoon asks. he knows jungkook is wise, but to have such valuable information of the enemy is...

"i've seen it, hyung." jungkook says, uncovering a small white cloth on his table to reveal a palantír, a seeing stone.

namjoon's throat is dry. "t-those are dangerous, jungkook. they're not all accounted for, you have no idea who could be watching! who you're talking to!" with a strangled breath he throws the cloth back on the seeing stone, turning to jungkook. there's something in his eyes, a dangerous sparkle.

namjoon can't believe what he's hearing. he shakes his head, staring at jk in front of him, his white robes tinged with black. "jungkook." his voice wobbles. "we can stop sauron, we can stop him destroying middle earth. we have to stick together."

jungkook shakes his head. "it's too late, namjoon. against the powers of mordor, there is no victory." namjoon feels a shiver run up his spine. jungkook looks so different, hauntingly so. did namjoon come here too late? how long has jungkook been haunted by mordor, being posioned with false words? if namjoon got here quicker could he have stopped this?

"jungkook, please."

"we must join with him, namjoon." only now does jungkook step forwards, grabbing hold of namjoon's hand. his skin is cold, icy. it makes namjoon jolt backwards, jungkook's hands - his body - was always so warm. "we have to join him, it's the only thing we can do."

it's with a heartshattering breath that namjoon realises, jungkook is too far gone to be saved. namjoon can't save him. he's already passed, already tangled in sauron's strings. namjoon shakes his head, tears stinging at his eyes. "that's madness jungkook - can't you see that? he's posioned you."

jungkook blinks, furious. "i'm doing this to save us!" he shouts, pushing at namjoon's chest. "the chances of winning against mordor are slim, too slim. we have to survive hyung. you & me - we're always in this together?"

namjoon takes a step back, shakes his head. he hates seeing jungkook this way.

"but what about the rest of middle earth, jungkook?" he asks softly, trying to hold back his tears. "we can't let them fall into darkness, all those innocent people. you know it's not the right thing to do, jungkook. you know it."

jungkook shakes his head, pushing namjoon to the doors.

"get out."

"jungkook--"

"get out!" he shouts this time, eyes red. "before i do something. i won't regret it, you've already chosen your side."

perhaps it's naive of him, but namjoon is certain there's still a part of jungkook that's pure, untainted. even if namjoon has to charge to mordor - he'll do whatever he can to bring jungkook back to him.

they don't say goodbye. jungkook only watches, chest heaving, tears down his cheeks as namjoon leaves.

maybe in another life, things wouldn't have ended this way.

Omg I can't stand reading the treebeard chapter man

Everything in ttt has been in such a quick pace: boromir died; the three riders are just fucking going; they meet men in the middle of the way; then there's uruk-hai; then they are trying to murder the two hobbits; then they are trying to run away from the orcs. And everything is in this frenetic pace for so many pages.

And then everything slows down to an almost stop, just so that treebeard can have a song and sing about ents; and how some can still talk, and some are becoming tree-ish.

#LIKE I LIKE ENTS THEY ARE FUCKING INTERESTING #but FUCK they fuck the pace of everything here. #im Struggling™ to get to the end of this chapter #ffs #the two towers #lotr
