Uh, so I'mma request something because I really like your writing and want more of your wonderful Aragorn fics in my life. So, I was thinking some headcannons about what it would be like to date/be in a relationship with Aragorn before, during and/or after the fellowship? Thanks man, and take as long as you need!š
A/N: I am STRUGGLING with sleepover requests, my own series (PS and DAKT) and some new stuff so I turned to my stack ofĀ ānormalā requests to try and write something different. Et voilĆ !
@katethewriter I took a lot longer than I should have with these and Iām so sorry! Iām leaning more towards the Hobbit era lately (Iām really turning into a Dwarf simp here), and Iām neglecting the fellowship members. Unforgivable!Ā
I interpreted this as how your relationship would develop while on the quest to destroy the ring and youāre not actually together at the start of it. Also maybe slightly OOC Aragorn.Ā
A/N 2: It has some nsfw hints (not much), I couldnāt help myself and itās very unlike Aragorn I think but Iām not sorry. Also this turned out really long, I am sorry for that.Ā
A/N 3: Just like my other headcanons, this doesnāt make much sense so best to simply ignore this. I really donāt know what this is... :)Ā
Being In a Relationship With Aragorn On The Quest Would Go Like This:
Aragorn had met you in some seedy pubĀ
Not his first choice to take shelter from the weather but after days and days of endless rain and trudging through mud it was almost nice to be there
at least he was able to dry his clothes and have a warm mealĀ
he was surprised to see someone like you thereĀ
surprised but concerned tooĀ
for your wellbeing that isĀ
every single person in that bar had his eyes on you the minute you moved
Aragorn had too but for entirely different reasons
at least thatās what he told himself
so the minute one of those drunk lads laid a hand on you he was on his feet
knight in shining armor ranger clothes
before he got to you, you had floored and knocked out your assailant, threatening the others they would suffer the same fate if they tried something similar
Aragorn stood frozen in place, completely mesmerized by you
and maybe a tad bit aroused too
the life of a ranger is very lonely after all
you winked at him and left the bar shortly after
Aragorn couldnāt get you out of his headĀ
but what were the odds he would ever run into you again
he even returned to that godawful place a few times
you can imagine his surprise when he saw you in Rivendell
attending the secret council
he was jaw on the floor surprised
he couldnāt tear his eyes away from you
on the outside he was the cool ranger of the north, bringer of Hobbits, inventor of the Sexy But Still Rough Around The Edges Stareā¢
while on the inside he wasĀ f r e a k i n gĀ o u tĀ
because there you were, finally within reachĀ
but then Frodo had to sacrifice himselfĀ
and Aragorn could not not go with himĀ
he absolutely lost it when you volunteered as well
there was no way you were going to put your life on the line like that
you scoffed at his remark
wait did he said that out loud?
āI can handle myself just fine.ā
Flashes of the bar fight filled his mind
it filled something else tooĀ š
so Aragorn had set himself a second goalĀ Ā
besides getting Frodo and the ring to Mordor he now vowed to keep you safe as well
and to make you his by the time you would arrive at Mordor
but we all know how smooth that will go do weĀ
the first few days and weeks it went reasonably wellĀ
you have to read that asĀ āhe didnāt embarass himself in front of youā
because there was no progress at all on any other front
you seemed to prefer the company of the Hobbits over him or any other member of the fellowship
he tried to make conversation with you every time you walked near himĀ
when the Crebain flew over his instinct was to make sure Frodo (and Sam because those two were attached at the hip) was out of sight
after that he searched for you, but Legolas had already pulled you under the bushes with him
surely the feeling in his stomach was the fault of the Lembas bread
because Aragorn doesnāt get jealous
but then the same thing happened in Moria
you werenāt a fan of the dark and claustrophobic mines so he let you walk up front with Gandalf and Frodo near the light of Gandalfās staffĀ
with him right behind you of courseĀ
when the Orcs and Troll attacked, he tried to stay near youĀ
keep an extra eye out for you, driving the Orcs away who were trying to get to you
it was you together with Legolas who defeated the troll, high fiving each other over a job well done
okay fine maybe Aragorn did get jealous this time
like he had done his best to protect you but did you notice?
then when Gandalf fell you surprisingly turned to him for comfort
leaving Legolas, Gimli and Boromir to comfort the Hobbits
even though it felt really good to hold you, he knew you couldnāt stay there
so he ordered everyone to get going, taking the lead
and then Lothlorien happened
a forest that was both magical and romantic
perfect setting for a love confession right
when he finally got you alone he chickened out at the last moment
luckily for him you did not
you almost knocked him over in your attempt to kiss himĀ Ā
he eagerly reciprocated the kiss though
but he also explained that even though he wanted this, the quest and Frodo had to come first
which you respected and understood, but you were also willing to test his resolveĀ š
you didnāt tell the othersĀ
but they didnāt need an explanation, itās not like you two were subtle
he held your hand whenever he couldĀ
Gimli couldnāt help but commenting on it, Aragorn explaining it was to prevent you from falling or tripping
āLad, youāre sitting down in a boat...ā
cue roaring laughter and flushed cheeks on Aragorn
although the fellowship supported your relationship they couldnāt help but tease Aragorn relentlessly
lots of sneaky forehead kisses
during the rest of the quest Aragorn did his best to keep you out of harmās wayĀ
to your own frustration of course, you werenāt helpless or as fragile as he made you seem
you fought alongside Boromir when UglĆŗk shot himĀ
they took Merry and Pippin and dragged you away from Boromirās body
the one time Aragorn wasnāt at your side and you got kidnapped
you werenāt going to hear the end of thisĀ
needless to say Aragorn was indeed beside himself with worryĀ
he couldnāt get a breakĀ
first Frodo gone, then Boromir shot and now it seemed he failed his promise to himself
but he knew you were brave and could take care of yourself - you had repeated that countless times - so he was sure he was going to find youĀ
after three days of running with a dartling Elf and a wheezing Dwarf they bumped into Ćomer and his horse gang
before he could ask Ćomer if he saw you or the Hobbits, one of his riders jumped off their horse and made a beeline for himĀ
Legolas notched an arrow and Gimli raised his axe but you simply shoved them aside and threw your arms around Aragorn
the hug lasted several minutes until Legolas cleared his throat
you shared a horse with Aragorn on the way to Edoras
while with King ThƩoden Aragorn kept an arm around your waist or a hand on the small of your back the entire time
as if he had to make sure you were still there
The Battle of Helmās Deep was torture for Aragorn
he wanted to stay with you but you both knew you would be too distracted by each otherĀ
it took him a while to find you after the battle was wonĀ
few years of his life were lost in panic
but of course you were alright, already helping with the wounded
now it was his turn to sweep you off your feet
as the quest progressed, it became clear to Aragorn that he had to take up his rightful place as the King of Gondor when the time cameĀ
so during the victory feast after Helmās Deep he took you outside for a walk
cue comments and whistling from GimliĀ
but Aragorn only wanted to talk to youĀ
to make sure you knew what you were getting yourself into if you stayed with himĀ
were you ready to be the spouse of a King?
of course he made it seem as if he was going to ditch youĀ
because that man is angst embodiedĀ
everything to keep you safeĀ right?
luckily as soon as it was clear that no, he wasnāt going to ditch you and yes, this was kind of a hastily thrown together proposal in a way, you kissed him saying that as long as you were at his side you were ready for anything
as long as you were together
