#heledir

Despite the turbulent times in Middle Earth, life in Rivendell went on. 

It had been almost a month since you’d, purely by chance, shared a bed with Glorfindel -- but despite the mutual agreement to talk about it in the morning, you never did. Or the day after. Or the week after. You tried to not to pine, but you found that your thoughts constantly drifted back to how nice it felt when his arms were around you. 

Of course since the two of you remained friends you disguised your feelings, and he seemed to show none besides friendship either. 

Despite that some of the other Elves, partly out of camaraderie and partly to relieve tension, began to make wagers on when the two of you would acknowledge your feelings. Lindir and Heledir, strange as it may have seemed, were the most invested. Heledir held the more pessimistic view that any confessions were decidedly not in the foreseeable future, and that it was a good thing Elves were -- under optimal circumstances -- immortal. Lindir had to fight not to roll his eyes at this, for he was staunch in his belief that the two of you would be a couple by the end of the month. 

-

The next day would bring a new month. You sighed, sitting alone on a balcony overlooking the valley. The setting sun tinged all that it touched golden. A faint smile ghosted over your lips as you remembered an evening just like this not that long ago. 

“Are you alright?” A soft voice spoke behind you. 

Startled, you whipped your head around. “Oh! Glorfindel -- I’m fine, thanks.” 

“May I ask your leave to sit with you?” His golden hair shone brightly in the fading sunlight, framing his face perfectly. 

“Please do.” You twisted your hands in your lap, nervous butterflies fluttering in your chest. 

The Elf sat beside you, his arm almost touching yours -- but not quite. He sighed almost imperceptibly as he looked out at the valley. “You look,” he hesitated, then continued, “beautiful.” He turned to look at you. “Like a flower shining with dew at dawn.” 

You blushed. “Thank you…” Heart pounding in your chest you placed a hand gently atop his, watching his eyes widen. 

“We never did talk,” he said softly. 

“No,” you smiled, “but we should.” 

Glorfindel nodded. “What is it that you want, meleth nîn?” He seemed nervous, fear of rejection flickering in his eyes. 

You bit your lip, wanting to say “You”, but settled for something more eloquent. “To spend my years with you, Glorfindel.”  

A smile like sunlight spread across his face. “Then let it be!” His eyes searched yours as he ran his fingers across your cheek, laughing when you blushed, lips parting. 

Time seemed to slow as he leaned in and kissed you gently. 

-

“Well,” Lindir had an unusually smug look on his face, “I was correct.” 

“Only just,” Heledir sighed. “Very well -- I’ve lost our wager then.”

Lindir nodded.

“And that means I’ll be telling Elrond that I wish to work as an ambassador to the Dwarves…”

“Indeed!” A smile pulled at the corners of Lindir’s mouth. 

Elves React: You are Loved

Thank you so much for your ask! I’ve included Thranduil, Lindir, Heledir, and Feren!

Lyrics to the song on the bottom, I will include their overall reaction and more detailed to certain parts.

Thranduil: Thranduil had been so busy and caught up with his duties, that you had plenty of time to prepare the song for him. There were many moments when you felt the lack of your special connection, the flame of your love slowly dying. You knew he still loved you, but with the busy days and the thoughts on his mind there hasn’t been much time to spend quality time together. This was your attempt to put together something warming for your love, to show him that no matter what you will always be with him, and maybe give him a little hint that it was time to devote to each other once more. You had stayed up late, waiting for his return to your shared bed. When he silently entered you welcomed him and began to softly sing, making him stop changing his cloak and watch you. Instantly his expression changed, his tight muscles relaxing, the loving look in his eyes returning. I can see the passion you require, because everything you do you do with love. He made his way to you, laying down by your side. “My Love is all for you.”

Lindir: You had planned to sing the song for a while, months after joining together with him in courtship. Lindir was a great musician and composer, so you knew you had to write something that will be heartfelt but will surprise him due to your devotion. He himself composed several pieces and poems to to give even a hint of his love for you. So as soon as you began to sing he suddenly became flustered, trying to sit still in his blush as he listened to the words. The song connected so well, especially the first line, ever since the day we first met, because he had fallen head over heels for you from the first day. Your words made him melt so quickly that he just couldn’t resist embracing you halfway through the song. “Ever since the day we met, I keep on falling in love with you more and more,” he whispered as he held you softly.

Heledir: It was the day of your wedding, after the guests had finally retired and the servants had cleaned up, you decided to bring Heledir to sit with you by the fountain. As he spoke words of love to you, you gently silenced him as you began to sing. You had wanted something extra special to show your love. Although elven marriage itself was a significant act, you wanted to show him that he meant the world to you. And together we’ll die. The two of you had dedicated so much to each other, sharing all the love and the passion that you held. He had embraced you dearly once you finished, nuzzling into your shoulder. He was the elf that went unnoticed, but he caught your eye, his music poured into your soul. And so you devoted all that you had. “I am so lucky to have you,” he said gently, “all for myself.”

Feren: While Mirkwood sat silently, waiting for the return of its kin from battle, your mind was running like crazy. Feren if course had left with the king to serve, and although you knew he was quite a skilled fighter, the thought of losing him always invaded your mind. To put yourself at ease and to pass time you began to write a song to sing to him when he gets back. And that happened, everyday you sat by the window listening, and when you began to hear the marching steps you ran out to meet him as quick as possible. God is giving us this love, and He will never let it fall apart. The two of you stood there, holding each other in a tight embrace, never wanting to let go. But he was yours, and nothing would ever take him away.

——— LYRICS ———

Ever since the day that we first met

God created love that we had kept

Now that I commit to you my life

We can only love each other more and more in time

You are loved

You are loved

And Nothing's gonna change that I will

Love you till we're old and grey

And I'll love you when we're young

Don't be scared it's alright

God is giving us this love

And He will never let it fall apart

He will never leave our side.

Everytime you look into my eyes

I can see the passion you require

Because everything you do you do with love

And everyday you make me feel inspired to ignite.

And

(I'm falling more in love with you) x3

Everytime

That we close our eyes

We dream of love

And together we'll die

Warnings: none I think maybe fluff?

Prompt: You are traveling with the company to Rivendell, as you are eating you notice the elf Kili was talking about and he noticed you.

You were with the company for dinner at Rivendell, you looked around the open room from where the company and yourself were sitting. The room had a big table for you, the dwarfs and Bilbo and a smaller one for Lord Elrond, Thorin and Gandalf.

There were plants coming into the room and the sun was positioned perfectly to light to the room. The atmosphere was amazing and the music they minstrel elves played was amazing.

Kili was talking about how he did not fancy elves, you turned your attention away from the scenery and towards the young dwarf listening to him babble.

“although that one there is not bad.” Kili looked towards the elf he was talking about. You followed his gaze your mouth dropped. This elf was the most beautiful elf you have ever seen, though he was not an elf maid as Kili thought but Kili was not wrong. He had long brown hair hair that was braided, his eyes were a pricing blue.

“That’s not an elf maid.” Sealing said leaning forward slightly. Kili shot him a surprised look and looked back the elf then back at Dwalin. The company began to laugh, but you didn’t you haven’t been able to look away from him. He seemed not to pay attention to the company and what they were saying, he only focused on playing his arm that was in the crook of his arm. He seemed to feel your gaze he turned his head to look at you, your eyes met his and he gave you a small smile he never stopped playing.

“Looks like Y/N agrees with your statement Kili!” Balin teased causing the company to erupted into laughter again. You whirled your head around to face the company blushing widely, you reached across the table to punch Balin. You huffed and crossed your arms, but little did you know the harpist was still looking at you and smiling.

——————

Sometime after dinner you wandered around Rivendell it was amazing and you wanted to see it all before you left. You found yourself walking in a hall trying to get to the gardens but you became lost.

“Did you need help Milady?” A calm voice called. You turned around the find the harpist from before, you blushed and looked down fiddling with your hands. How could you run into him? Was he looking for you?

“Y-yes. I am a bit lost I’m trying to get to the gardens.” You said nervously, this is the first time you have ever stuttered or even be nervous. He chuckled and gently grabbed grabbed your hand and placing it in the crook of his arm.

“I will gladly take you to the gardens Milady, maybe I could walk you around as well?” He looked at you hopefully his blue eyes were bright and young. You lifted your head to meet his gaze and blushed more and only nodded since you didn’t want to embarrass yourself anymore.

You two walked for what seemed like hours until he stopped with you at the entrance of the gardens, He turned to you and smiled.

“Milady May I walk with you?” He asked tilting his head ever so slightly. You blushed even brighter and looked into his eyes.

“O-of course!” You tried to smile but you were still beating yourself up from stuttering. His features brighten and he smiled, he confidently led you through the gardens. The flowers were amazing so many different colors, shape and sizes. You could see some of the female elves braiding flower crowns giving to each other and sometimes even male elves, the Harpist seemed to notice you staring at them and that’s when it dawned on him he never told you his name.

“My name is Heledir, Milady.” He said smiling down at you. Your e/c eyes met his blue ones and you smiled shyly.

“Y/n.” Heledir nodded and smiled before stopping in his tracks and turning to a flower bush, you tried to lean around him to see what he was doing but couldn’t see. It only took a few minutes before Heledir turned back around he was now holding a flower crown that were made up of all your favorite colors and flowers.

You blushed as he held it up slightly.

“May I?” He asked holding it above your head. Your voice was caught in your throat, nobody has ever made you a flower crown before, hell nobody gave you anything before. You nodded and he gently placed it on your head and he smiled.

“There Milady! Now your the most beautiful maiden ever, even tho you were always were!” Heledir said placing his hands on your cheeks smiling warmly. You were blushing but you couldn’t look away from his blue eyes, something soon overcame you and you stood on your tippy toes and pressed your lips against his soft ones.

This handsome guy! Underappreciated af! Just like Heledir and Feren, he had little screen time in the Hobbit movies (Although that one scene with him being drunk and asleep while Bilbo was sneaking the Dwarves out was adorable), but I feel like he deserves a little more love, y'all. I mean look at him!

I wanted to learn more about him! He's Thranduil's loyal Butler and possibly an even close friend of his behind closed doors and he needs some loving like the rest of our underappreciated elf boys.

I'm debating on whether or not I should write headcanons for him, mainly because I haven't written in what seems like months (Writer's block :c) and I'm still pretty rocky and don't want to make a fool of myself, but maybe.... we'll see.

Still, Galion's existence should be shared with the rest of the lovely fandom and I'm wondering what stories and headcanons everyone else will come up for him. I've read and reblogged a few stories (Which were fun to read, btw) about him here on Tumblr but there isn't much else regarding content (Or maybe there is and Tumblr is being a butt and won't let me find anything :P)

Resting Bitch Face

Cannot judge him by first glance or conversation

He prefers to keep to himself

Doesn’t speak much

On the inside he’s very passionate about the things he likes and his beliefs

He spends most of his time wandering in his head, thinking of new melodies or daydreaming

Always polite and educated

Pure gentlemen

Small acts of kindness although he dismisses them

Although not afraid to speak his mind, even if the truth hurts

Doesn’t mind spending time with others, especially in peaceful silence

But prefers not not participate in fast paced activities

But he surprisingly picks things up very quickly

Once you teach him something he’ll be as good as you in minutes

Though he’s not very cocky about it

Takes him a while to open up to people

Is actually very sweet and gets concerned often

Doesn’t know how to show his empathy but does try

He doesn’t want to hurt peoples feelings

But if they deserved it, it’ll be a battle to get him to open up

Very good at giving hugs, gentle squeezes

Not very much into PDA but doesn’t mind because he gets to show off his partner

Overall he’s blocked off but as long as you show interest to know him, he’ll begin to talk instantly.

Often feels left out because people think he’s not interested

You just need to show him that there are wonderful things

Show him what love feels like, what adventure is.

Slightly NSFW Below

Actually a very good lover and partner

A switch leaning dom

Definitely prefers to do it in bed

Moans and pants a lot, but doesn’t talk much

Loves giving and receiving kisses and sometimes bites gently

Usually very passionate and loving, though he doesn’t mind needy and rough

Doesn’t have many kinks

Easily turned on but hides it very well

Heledir eyes widen for amount before he closed his eyes and slowly kissed you back, he smiled into the kiss and moved his arms to your waist pulling your body’s closer together. When you both pulled away for air all your nervousness faded away, he was looking at you so lovingly. Maybe this was meant to be?
