    Summary

    To notice a well-made pair of hands is appreciating.
    To keep noticing them is distracting.
    To befriend the person they're attached to... is complicated.

    Or: where Gimli has very nice hands and Legolas is increasingly flustered and confused because of them. (It all works out in the end.)

    Summary

    Legolas blinks up into the sunlight. "It has been some time since we were strangers," he says, as thought he is only just realising this. "Just this morning you called me your friend."

    "I did, and I will not recant it unless given a good reason."

    "Good," Legolas says, with a startling fierceness. "Good. And— you are my friend, too."

    "Poor fool of an Elf, you've gone and done it," Gimli says, and it's light-hearted but he means it. "No getting rid of me now."

    Summary

    'Surely if ever there was a time to tell Gimli it was then, flush with an impossible victory.

    Except he had said nothing, for there was ever more to do and never time, never time to pull Gimli aside and taste the mouth hidden beneath the fall of his moustache, to fit his slim, Eleven hands into ones coarse with callouses from the handle of an axe, to tell Gimli that every song Legolas sang, every smile and laugh and every step forward he had taken since their path darkened was bolstered only by Gimli at his side, to speak to him of Elvish courting rituals and run his fingers through Gimli’s russet hair and ask if he would allow Legolas to twist an Elvish braid in it, something to mark to all the world, even if only his Elven eyes would understand, that Gimli was tied to him.

    To ask Gimli to teach him all the impossible ways their bodies might fit together.'
