“And so they stood on the walls of the City of Gondor, and a great wind rose and blew, and their hair, raven and golden, streamed out mingling in the air.” - LOTR: The Return of the King

Look at this amazing art I commissioned from the stunning @lorbalith. You can also find her on Instagram. Seriously, her art captures you in a way I can't put into words.

I commissioned this for one of my recent fics

The Heart Remembers What The Mind Forgets 

if they will get someone to describe it I hope for a full drama - runner out of breath, all dishelved, eyes wide and in shock, please give it to me

It means nothing, romantically speaking. It's a means to an end, nothing more, and yet it manages to raise such an outcry that a lot of people overlook that fact completely even though there are so many clues that it is merely for show. There is Elrond reaching for his brooch and removing it's pin. There is his, "Forgive me," said in such a peculiar way that it simply cannot be about his promise to Galadriel in 2x04. There is the chaste nature of the kiss - a mere press of lips against lips, almost like a child kissing their parent goodbye (though, admittedly, more drawn out). And there is the subtle moment when he presses the pin into Galadriel's hand, and the surprise on her face that follows it.
