    Summary

    Cirdan reflects back on Gil-galad.

    This is the Ardor In August 2012 challenge:

    Pairing: Elf/Elf or Elf/Man

    Story elements: For me the most rewarding gift is not the heavy-sweaty part, but the sincere relationships that evolve between characters, sharp and clever dialogue, unique characterizations especially if canon is vague on the details. Give me a story about someone who loves someone they shouldn't but loves them anyway--for myriad reasons other than blind passion (though, of course, that's part of it). I would love to see a relationship evolve over some time or a snapshot of a relationship at its most difficult and rewarding points. Consider: why do we love who we love even when we don't want to? What makes us resist? What makes us give in? On the mechanical side: smooth, lean prose is always appreciated.

    Summary

    For Legolas, it happened when strong hands tightened a blindfold over his eyes, the scent of male musk and the teasing caress of a single strand of silver hair against his neck stifling all further protest.
