Title: Hospitality pt. 5/? Author: Deathangelgw Author email: deathangelgw@hotmail.com Disclaimer: Sadly, if they were mine damned if I would share!! But they aren't so POOP! Warnings: AU, slash, sap, humor, angst, dark, hinted twincest. Pairings: Elr/Ell implied, Ell/Elr/Leg, implied Elrond/OC Rating: PG-13 Summary: Legolas is visiting Imladris for his father…what he finds there in hospitality is quite unexpected! Notes: I know I know…it's been FOREVER! I'm sorry, but the muses hit me elsewhere and RL has sucked so badly. Still sucks, but that's ok. If you notice, my Elvish is different in this and I will go over my previous chapters and fix them once I learn what I need so I am not bugging my current source. Outside of that, look for translations after the paragraphs in ( ). Thanks to Orchyd for the beta and Elvish help. Not too much longer…Enjoy and please review!! 'thoughts' "And the provisions shared between realms shall be discussed with your father in its entirety once the envoys come." Calenglîr's voice floated out soothingly as he sat at the desk within the Prince of Mirkwood's study. He glanced up, cocking an eyebrow as he noticed the lack of attention his words were receiving as Legolas continued to stare out the windows and into the gardens. Sighing softly, he shook his head, and then said, "And of course, all Elves shall serve me and we shall never have to worry about Elderberry juice," he said cheerfully. Legolas blinked, and then looked over at his best friend in surprise before smiling sheepishly. "I am sorry, meldir. I have not been paying attention, have I?" he asked in remorse, turning from the window he'd been looking out from and heading for the desk. (dear friend) Sighing again, Calenglîr smirked at his friend. "I suppose I can forgive you. You are not the only one thinking about what is happening." His eyes saddened as he gazed up at his friend. "It would seem that Imladris gave us more than hospitality," he murmured softly. "Aye... it gave us life and love that we did not know we needed," Legolas replied softly, looking sadly out the windows once again. The next day they would leave for Mirkwood to prepare his father for the upcoming treaty delegations, but nut somehow he knew he'd be leaving more than fair Imladris behind. *~~**~~* "Your mind is not entirely here, /pen-valthenem/." Elrohir's voice was gentle as he rubbed Legolas' back tenderly, the sweat from their recent activities drying on their pale skin as they lay together. "My mind is on tomorrow. I do not wish to leave you or Elladan," Legolas replied wistfully while he turned his golden head up to gaze mournfully at his dark lover. His eyes looked troubled then. "Where is Elladan?" he asked suddenly, realizing that, in the heat of the unbidden passion that seeing Elrohir had brought on, he'd forgotten the other who had captured his heart. Smiling gently before pressing a kiss to the upturned lips, Elrohir murmured, "He is on duty. He tried to switch with someone, but Glorfindel was obstinate. He will not return until sundown." "Ai... I wanted to spend my last day with you both!" Legolas cried softly before he laid his head down on the strong chest of his darkling lover. "Avogosto, glaur. E telitha ad," Elrohir whispered soothingly against the sweaty brow of his lover. He smiled gently as Legolas looked up; tears sparkling in the corners of the Prince's eyes, and the Elf-knight brushed the moisture away tenderly. "Avonallo, pen vain. Natham ad erthannen. Isto hen thenin," he whispered softly, smiling as Legolas' eyes lightened with hopeful happiness. (Calm yourself, golden light. He will return. No tears, beautiful one. We shall be together once more. Know that with certainty.) Elrohir leaned his head in and brushed his lips over his golden Prince's, moaning when Legolas suddenly deepened the kiss. As Legolas shifted on top of him, Elrohir knew that he would make this memorable for them both, memorable enough to last them until they were together again. *~~**~~* A gentle wind blew around Imladris as Ithil traveled slowly through the stars. Golden hair danced with the wind as Legolas stood on the balcony outside his bedroom. The soft beams of moonlight caressed his face in tender comfort as he gazed almost unseeingly at the surroundings of the peaceful valley. His gaze turned inside to where his lover, Elrohir, lay sleeping, a soft smile on the kiss bruised lips as the Peredhel dreamed. Legolas' own lips turned slightly up in response to the peace he saw on his dark lover's face, and then turned his eyes once more to the valley. He sighed quietly and closed his eyes, fighting back the tears that threatened as he remembered that, with Anor's rising, he would leave this valley for his home in Mirkwood. Strong arms encircled him from behind, breaking his sorrowful reverie and the Prince leaned back into the strong hold. He smiled softly as soft lips touched his neck and tasted of him, encouraging his head to fall back in pleasure and reassurance. "Elladan." The name fell from his lips in happiness as he leaned into his other lover's embrace. "How did you know it was I?" Elladan queried softly in amusement as he leaned his chin on one shoulder. Smiling as he leaned his head against Elladan's dark one, Legolas gazed out once more on the moonlit surroundings. "You always go for my neck in greeting. Elrohir goes for my ear and shoulder," he replied quietly, grinning as Elladan chuckled softly. "And your scent is just slightly different. Not by much though," he added as he turned his head to nuzzle the ebon braids that graced his twilight lover's head. "Aye, I smell of horse," Elladan replied facetiously, grinning as Legolas chuckled in amusement at that. He nuzzled his blond prince's neck once again, then whispered softly, "Return to bed. I shall bathe and be with you in but a few moments." He leaned up, and then smiled as Legolas turned in his hold and they kissed deeply. "Avodharo anann. Aniron chen dâd dû hen," Legolas whispered softly as his fingers threaded through the tightly braided ebony silk of his beloved's. They went in together and parted ways, one to bathe, and the other to crawl into bed next to the sleeping twin. Legolas curled up into Elrohir's hold, smiling as a possessive arm curled around his waist and pulled him closer. He looked up and smiled as Elrohir blinked sleepily at him before they kissed languidly. (Do not take long. I want you both this night.) When Elladan joined them later, hair still damp from his bath, their passions rose even higher. The last thought that went through Legolas' mind as he was filled by and filling his twins, was that he knew he was home in their arms. As they lay together, each listening to the other's heartbeat, calm came over them and a firm knowledge that they would indeed find each other once again. *~~**~~* The calming sounds of birds welcoming the morning surrounded the multiple parties of Elves that were readying themselves for their journeys the next morning. Legolas and Calenglîr were silent though, as they worked on saddling their horses and preparing to depart, making sure their documents were secure and well protected. Neither said much, but then, friends don't need to say much to understand. Both were lost in thought of what they were leaving behind as well as going home to and both were torn in longing. They turned as they heard the call to mount up from Celeborn and knew that it was soon time to go. They would accompany the Lothlorien contingent over the Hithaiglin before heading for Mirkwood to prepare King Thranduil for the upcoming negotiations. All parties hoped that the negotiations would be more than successful. Calenglîr’s face lit up as Lords Elrond, Glorfindel, and Erestor came down to see them off, accompanied by the twins. Legolas’ own face softened as he saw his twins, the ones who had captured his heart and soul. He smiled softly to himself as Elrond went through the other delegation first, thinking to himself on how little time had passed since he had come to Imladris and how it hadn’t seemed enough. ‘Only two weeks after we came did I finally follow my heart. Nay, not nearly long enough,’ he thought wistfully as he watched them. He grinned at Calenglîr as the other fairly bounced in anticipation. “Meldir... you do know that propriety is needed here. It is not well known you are sleeping with Elrond,” he warned with a chuckle. Pouting, Calenglîr glared at him. “And that can go the way of the Orcs as far as I am concerned,” the silver haired Elf replied loftily, then grinned as Legolas snorted in amusement. “Besides... 'tis not common knowledge that the Prince of Mirkwood enjoys a twin sandwich,” he said with a wide grin and laughed gleefully as Legolas’ cheeks tinged pink. They both quieted in their teasing of each other as Elrond came over to them, smiling softly. “I am sorry to see you both leave so soon,” he said softly as he clasped forearms with Legolas. “Be safe and I shall pray that we see each other again,” he said warmly. “Do not worry, Lord Elrond. We shall return, if not to enjoy the hospitality shown us here in your fair vale,” Legolas replied just as warmly, eyes twinkling merrily. “Of that I most certainly concur,” Calenglîr whispered softly, smiling gently as Elrond turned to him. The two subtly moved behind Calenglîr’s steed for a private good bye while Legolas said his farewell to the other two Imladrin Lords. Finally, Elrohir and Elladan came before Legolas, eyes shining with mirroring sorrow and determination mingling with love. “You will not forget us, will you?” Elrohir whispered softly as they each held one of Legolas’ hands. “Nay, never. I long for the day we can be together in peace with no disruptions or sorrowful partings,” Legolas declared firmly as he gazed at them. Just at that moment, Galadriel glanced at them, then winked before leading the way out. “It would seem Iaurnana has granted us a parting gift,” Elladan said softly with a chuckle as the Galadhrim set off. (Grandmother) Legolas cocked an eyebrow at his lover in bemusement. “Such as?” he asked, and then moaned as he was hugged and kissed by them both, switching mouths periodically before they were all panting softly. Legolas cupped their faces lovingly, gazing up at them with shining eyes. “I will wait and watch for you, if you will do the same for me,” he whispered softly, firmly. Nodding in unison as they both cupped their blond love’s face, the twin sons of Elrond smiled. “We will wait,” they whispered in tandem before hugging their beloved Prince close once more. A soft cough alerted them that their time was up and they parted reluctantly. As the two Mirkwood Elves left, their eyes trailed back to the vale where their hearts remained. They knew for certain that they would not be parted long, even as their gazes lost sight of their beloved ones. TBC
