Kiss Thirteen: Gulf of Lune

This is a gift for @drakkhammerwrites! 

----

It wouldn’t be quite fair to say that surfing came naturally to them, but Fíli and Kíli felt confident that they had a somewhat lower occurrence of face plants than a good number of beginners.  They were strong and solid, with fair balance and low centers of gravity – all of which worked in their favor when they first took to the waves.

Lune was a gulf, of course, so the waves were hardly the sort you’d see out on the islands.  More experienced surfers tended to toss their long braids and disparage the small waves that made their way to Lune’s coast; but it was plenty for a pair just starting out.  Especially a pair starting out who were too stubborn to start with basic paddling.   No, they were going straight to surfing or nothing!

If their poor bodies ended up bruised and beaten because of it, well, that was the price one paid for glory.  At least they were bruised and beaten together, and had an excellent excuse to laze around in a hot bath, trying to loosen the muscles enough to face another attempt the next day.

Their three buns approved as well – any excuse to get the two of them still and lazy in the evening, perfectly situated to serve their true purposes as bun chairs: Dot bossily in control of Kíli’s lap, MegaBun sprawling lazily across both, and NewBun curled up like a precious little ball of fluff on Fíli’s shoulder.

“He makes a decent heating bun,” Fíli said one night after an especially disastrous crash, and Kíli murmured sleepy agreement.

moodboard/aesthetic/whatever you call one of these things: Kili from drakkhammer’s amazing fic Chase the Wind. This is choreographed to the song that I think of as Kili’s theme in the story, Man in Motion (theme from St. Elmo’s Fire) by John Parr. If you’ve read this story (and if you haven’t what are you waiting for?), see if you don’t agree:

Growin' up, you don't see the writing on the wall Passin' by, movin' straight ahead, you knew it all But maybe sometime if you feel the pain You'll find you're all alone, everything has changed

Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won Soldier on, only you can do what must be done You know in some way you're a lot like me You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free

[Chorus] I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire

Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go (just how far I go) Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road I can make it, I know I can You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man

[Chorus]

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me

Just once in his life a man has his time, and my time is now, I'm coming alive I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly Feel like you're back again, and hope ridin' high Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire

[Chorus]

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me

Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin' Oooh, burnin' inside of me... (to fade)

 Alice didn’tknow what she did to deserve a man like Philip, but who was she to questionwhatever divine intervention it was that had brought him into her life.  The soft scent of roses teased her nose themoment she reached the landing at the top of the stairs, and she couldn’t help butsmile – not only had he waited up for her, he’d drawn her a hot bubble bath. He truly does know me, she mused toherself, entering their room to find him waiting for her with a tumbler ofwhiskey in hand.
