Two Tolkien-centric drabbles

[thrihyrne]

On my birthday I offered up drabbles to people on my flist with birthdays on or near mine; here are the last two, one for wolfiekins (who gets a drabble just because!) and altariel. I obviously have Merry on the brain.


Title: Reunion
Pairing: Merry/Pippin
Rating: PG-13 (innuendo)
Summary: In the Houses of Healing, Pippin is gratefully reunited with his cousin. [I'll note this is only my second attempt at hobbit slash! Not explicit.]

It took unique Tookish persuasion, but Pippin won the Warden's approval for Merry to go enjoy his pipe.

"I know the city well enough. Follow me— we won't go far," Pippin said, sliding his hand into Merry's and ducking into a bright but partially obscured alcove. Once out of sight, he shoved his pipe in a pocket and grabbed Merry's jaw in his hands.

"Merry, Merry," he murmured before leaning in to claim his beloved cousin's mouth, feasting on a most rare delicacy.

"We've survived," Merry gasped. "We must celebrate."

"I promise you won’t sleep alone tonight," Pippin said, beaming.


Title: Conflicted Duties
Pairing: Éowyn/Faramir
Rating: PG
Summary: Éowyn is distracted from a task.

"How am I to find this horn if you will not refrain from seeking my attentions?" Éowyn asked, a laugh tumbling from her lips as her new husband pulled her into an embrace.

"By your stubborn insistence to accomplish what you wish," he retorted, though his tone held admiration, not bite.

"Then I am in a state, for I wish both to present Eorl's horn to Merry, but also to present my lips to yours," she said breathlessly. "But duty comes before pleasure."

"Ah, but one can take great pleasure in duty," Faramir murmured before kissing Éowyn with devoted fervour.

Aw, lovely romantic drabbles!

And I have an LotR gen ficlet for you, as freckles42 requested a teenyfic on your behalf: Final Meetings

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. I just read and commented on the teenyfic; thank you very much for it.

Merry/Pippin! :bounces:

"Merry, Merry," he murmured before leaning in to claim his beloved cousin's mouth, feasting on a most rare delicacy.

Srsly, I want to marry this line. Your wording is so sweet and sensual and vivid. I just love it.

You're amazing!

Thanks!! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this so. I'm really not used to the whole concept of hobbit slash, but if it works, then great! It does help that I recently saw the movies and can have their banter/affection in my mind. :)

I did enjoy the fervent kissing bit. I can't really picture hobbit sex, though -- I think the furry feet and short stature would get to me after a while. :p

I've only ever seen the movies. A few friends of mine own or have read the books, but I know I couldn't commit to a story *that* long with no smut. ;)

fmh said that he lost interest with the elves and all of their "yay trees" bidness, lol.

Both are absolutely beautiful.

Oh, thank you!! It's strange to feel out of my element in Tolkien, but these pushed me just a bit. I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Great icon.

Great drabbles, too, for that matter.
