Title: Abandoned chapter 6-9 Type: FPS Author: Lady Mírfain (ladymirfain@gmail.com) Rating: NC-17 Pairing: Lindir/Elrond, Erestor/Glorfindel Disclaimer: None of the characters belong to me. They all belong to Tolkien. I am just borrowing them to play with. I promise to return them with smiles on their faces. Beta: Krit Notes: This was written for Lyric of Lorien as part of the Secret Friend Project for the Lindir yahoo group. She had requested a pairing of Lindir/Elrond with no shy Lindir and no fluff. It grew from there. Summary: Lindir is found abandoned by his parents and it affects his life forever. Abandoned ch 6 Erestor slipped from reverie at the feel of gentle fingers stroking his chest. Blinking, he looked into the loving, azure gaze of his husband. "Glorfindel, why do you wake me? I do not need to be up for another hour at least." Glorfindel smiled wistfully and leaned down to plant a gentle kiss on the dark councilor's lips. "I leave for a two week patrol this morn. I could not leave you without saying goodbye," he murmured against the ruby lips. Wrapping his arms tightly around his love, Erestor sighed. "I wish you did not have to go. I will miss you terribly." "And I you. That is why I woke you early. I need something to help me last until I see you again." Glorfindel said in a voice filled with need, trailing his fingers suggestively down his beloved's chest in search of more… interested flesh. "Lord Erestor! Lord Glorfindel!" a voice called at the door, followed by sharp, anxious knocking. Slipping from the warm nest he and his lover were sharing, Erestor grabbed their robes and tossing one at the recumbent blond god on the bed, swiftly donned the other. "Cover yourself," he barked at his love. Pausing long enough to admire the golden form rising gracefully from the quilts, Erestor turned and called, "what do you want, Elrohir?" Glancing back to see that his husband was covered; Erestor swung the door open and glared at his former student. "A party of elves has arrived from Lorien and I do not recognize any but the guards. What should I do? I can not find my brother and I do not wish to disturb my father," Elrohir said swiftly, clearly agitated. Erestor turned to look at Glorfindel, who sighed and said, "Elrohir, please, go and inform Captain Silinde that I will not be joining the patrol as planned. Return to the main hall, where we will meet you and greet the new arrivals together. You were correct in not disturbing your father.” Watching Elrohir nod and depart, Erestor closed the door and sighed. "We must dress. But, at least you will not be leaving me at this particular time. Tonight, we can finish what you started." Grinning at Glorfindel, he crossed to the bathing chamber to swiftly wash before dressing for the day. Glorfindel opened the wardrobe to choose something to wear, wondering who would have arrived this early. Deciding on formal robes, he removed both his and Erestor's before making his own way to the bathing chamber. "Who do you think it is?" Erestor echoed Glorfindel's own thoughts as the Seneschal entered the room and handed him his clothing. "The faster we get to the main hall, the faster we will know," Glorfindel said, turning to the basin to begin washing off the previous night's passion. Swiftly, Glorfindel donned his formal robes of sapphire blue with gold embroidery of the flowers of his house. Turning, he sucked in his breath at the beautiful image his mate presented. Erestor was truly a vision; his formal robes a magnificent backdrop for his stunning looks. The burgundy velvet glowing in the candlelight and accented by the silver ravens embroidered on the fabric to honor his favorite animal. Moving to his love's side, he took his hand and led him to the door. "Come; let us go see to these guests, before I ravish you where you stand." Glorfindel said, planting a kiss on the hand in his possession. Erestor blushed; pleased that Glorfindel wanted him, and made a mental note to wear his outer robes this evening. "Come; let us go see who would have the audacity to wake this household before dawn. Turning he led the way to the main hall, Glorfindel directly behind him. Abandoned Ch 7 The beaver cut through the water silently. He was seeking the perfect tree to finish his dam. Spying one that appeared to be appropriate, he headed for shore. Lumbering up the bank, he stopped and shook himself, sending water droplets spraying through the air. His pelt glistened like burnished mahogany. Laboring across the land to the tree, he sized it up, verifying that indeed, this was the crowning jewel for his creation. Grasping the trunk in both paws, he firmly held the tree and, baring his teeth, sank them in for the first bite. Confusion filled his mind at the metallic taste that filled his mouth. "Lindir!" Elrond screamed, awoken from reverie as pain shot up his arm. Feeling the wetness of his blood running down his skin, he tried to pull away, but stopping all movement upon realizing that Lindir still had his teeth embedded into his skin. "Lindir, please, wake!" Elrond sobbed, the pain starting to make his head spin. "Lindir, release my arm." Fighting nausea, Elrond wondered why Lindir would do such a thing. Snapping awake and releasing Elrond's arm, he quickly applied pressure to halt the bleeding. Choking on a sob, Lindir whispered, "I am sorry, milord. It was a dream. I know not what it means, but I have had it since…. I would understand if you sent me from your side." Dropping his head, Lindir stared at the bloodied sheets in fear and trepidation, worried that yet one more elf that he loved would toss him away. Holding himself rigid, he waited for the words that would crush him forever, tears beginning to make tracks down his cheeks. Frozen with shock, Elrond watched as Lindir moved away from him, refusing to meet his eyes. Hearing his words, Elrond realized that Lindir expected him to leave too. "I am not your parents, my love. I would never leave you." he whispered into Lindir's ear, wrapping his arms around the tense form and placing small fevered kisses on his face and hair. "Your arm…" broke through Elrond's concentration on the elf in his arms. Pulling back, he looked at what damage had been inflicted on him. "'Tis naught but a minor wound. Let me quickly clean it, then I would like to hear about this dream of yours." Cupping a hand under Lindir's face, he raised it, and planted a gentle kiss onto the minstrel's lips. Rising from the bed, he grabbed the supplies he would need and entered the bathing chamber and closing the door behind himself, he finally allowed the grimace of intense pain to show. Rummaging through his healing supplies, Elrond found the painkilling herb that had been concentrated into a liquid form and took a large swallow from the bottle. Pulling out strips of cloth, he realized that it was not going to be enough. He would need assistance, for the wound needed to be cleaned. Dropping his head against the cool stone wall, he resisted the temptation to knock it repeatedly against the hard surface. With a sigh, he pulled away and opening the door, called out, "Lindir, I need your assistance, please." Starting at his lord's voice, Lindir hopped up and scurried over to assist his love in any way possible, filled with remorse that he had caused injury. Seeing the pale visage before him, he brought Elrond over to a chair and forced him to sit, dropping his head between his knees. "I will be right back. Do not move." Lindir turned and ran back into the other room. Stopping long enough to grab his outer robe and pull it on, he then sped to Erestor's room, only thinking of finding aid. When a warm, wall of flesh halted his flight, Lindir was brought back to awareness of his surroundings. "Whoa there, Lindir. What seems to be the problem? Why the rush?" Elladan asked in concern. Grasping Elladan's arm, Lindir tugged, saying, "Your father! He is injured. Please, you must help him. Hurry!" Turning, he lead Elladan back to Elrond's rooms, and opening the door, led the way to the bathing chambers where he had left Elrond. "Ada! What has happened?" Dropping to his knees beside Elrond, Elladan took his father's hands in his and swiftly ran his eyes over his father's naked form. Eyes, widening in shock, Elladan saw blood streaming from a bite wound on his father's arm. "Ada? Who bit you?" Elladan asked quietly. Elrond met his son's eyes. "What does it matter? I need you to clean and bandage this for me. Please." Turning his head, he spied Lindir standing next to Elladan with tears glistening in his eyes. Holding out his hand, he waited for his lover to respond. Lindir stepped forward to take Elrond's hand, but catching sight of himself in the mirror, stopped. Looking at his lover with wide eyes, he mouthed that he needed to wash. The blood staining his face horrified Lindir. Turing to the wash basin, he swiftly washed his face, turned and started towards Elrond. A thought entered his head and he grinned half-heartedly, and left the room, returning moments later with Elrond's legging in his hand. Moving to Elrond's side, he asked Elladan, "Will you help me get these on him?" Elladan had followed his father's line of sight when he held out a hand and had tensed, seeing the blood on Lindir's lips. Realizing that Lindir had been the one to inflict the bite, he had wanted to say something but from the squeeze his father gave his hands thought better of it. He would delve into this matter later. When Lindir asked him to help get the legging onto his father, Elladan lifted one of Elrond's feet, helping Lindir slide it into the leg. Repeating the process, he then helped Elrond to raise enough for Lindir to work the leggings up. Settling his father back onto the seat, Elladan watched in shock as Lindir swiftly tied the lacings over his father's burgeoning member. "Thank you, Lindir. That is one sight I do not need to see." Turning back to his father, Elladan surveyed the damage. Realizing what would be needed, he rose and went to gather Elrond's supplies. Returning swiftly, he settled onto his knees beside his father and taking up the offending limb, cleaned it and swiftly began to wrap it in clean bandages. Finishing, he leaned back, saying, "There, that should fix it. Please, keep this dry, Father." Elrond grinned at the lovely shade of green that Lindir's face had assumed as Elladan cared for the wound. Squeezing the hand firmly encased into his own, he tugged Lindir onto his lap. Whispering into Lindir's ear, "Please, do not worry. It will be fine now." Placing a gentle kiss on Lindir's lips, Elrond tensed to hear Elladan's gasp. "Now is not the time, Elladan." Elladan was dumbfounded. He did not like to see the blonde elf in his father's arms, yet was happy that his father had found someone. He knew that his parents had not loved each other. Their marriage being one made for political reasons rather than matters of the heart, yet seeing another take his mother's place hurt. "Yes father." was all he managed to mutter, before rising and gathering up the supplies and returning them to their rightful places. Closing the bathing chamber door behind him, Elladan made his way onto the balcony needing fresh air to clear his muddled mind. Stepping onto the cool stone, he let his gaze wander in the pre-dawn stillness. Movement at the stables caught his attention and turning his head, Elladan froze. "He is here," he whispered into the stillness. "He is here!" he cried loudly, turning and running from the room, making straight for the stables and the welcoming arms of his husband. Abandoned Ch 8 Upon hearing the shout echoing from the Last Homely House, Orophin smiled gently. His plans to sneak into his husband's room to wake him had been ruined, yes. But the joy of having him in his arms again would make up for any disappointment. Not wanting to wake any of the grooms, he opted to take care of the tired horses himself; waiting for the footsteps that would tell him his love had arrived. Grinning at the sound of his husband's running feet, Orophin pretended not to notice as he stepped out of the stall and headed for the feed room. His breath was knocked out of him as he was tackled from behind and brought to the dirt floor. Rolling, he looked up into Elladan's happy face and without a word, brought their lips together in a searing kiss, pouring all his love and longing into it. "I have missed you so very much." Orophin's face was flushed and darkened by desire as Elladan panted the words. "I have missed you as well, my love, and could not wait to see you again." Orophin wrapped his warrior arms tightly around the well muscled body of his mate to hold him close, relishing the feel of the hard flesh against his own. Feeling another hardness, he grinned wolfishly, "I see that you are not the only thing to be joyous at my return." He then crushed their mouths together in a bruising kiss, telling Elladan without words how much he missed and wanted him. Elladan rose to his feet shakily and offered his hand to Orophin. When they both were standing, he wrapped an arm tightly around his mate's waist and guided him back to the house and their rooms. Orophin shut the door quietly behind them and turned to be greeted by the sight of his husband swiftly removing his clothing. Chuckling, he reached out and snagged the prince by the waist and jerked his naked form against him. "A bit impatient, are we?" Orophin whispered against the ruby lips, already swollen from his kisses. "Undress me." Before the words had finished leaving Orophin's lips, the eager hands of his love were fumbling with buttons, ties, and laces with a dexterity belied by the trembling of his limbs. As the cool morning air, let in by the open windows, hit the heated flesh of his chest, his nipples hardened and were immediately attacked by a questing mouth. He hissed as teeth were scraped over their sensitized flesh and sighed as a tongue laved away the pain. Guiding them, Orophin backed his husband up to the bed, smiling at the prince's squeak of surprise as his legs hit the mattress and he fell back onto it. Elladan looked up at his husband from the bed; then reached up to pull the galadhrim down as well. Sitting up, he moved to remove the dust coated boots and the travel stained leggings, freeing his mate to his gaze. "Have me." He pleaded, sighing with disappointment as his lover shook his head no, and yet knowing his wish to be filled would be granted soon enough. No words were spoken, no words were needed as the two bodies rubbed against each other and questing hands and lips remapped the unforgotten and much love flesh of their mate. "Please," was all Orophin could manage to say to his husband. His mind was lost in a haze of desire and he knew he would not last much longer. A loving smile graced his lips as the deceptively slender hand of his mate grasped the vial of oil on the nightstand and opened it. He spread his legs invitingly, pleading with his eyes for the fulfillment he had missed these past two years. When he was taken into the heat of his husband's mouth, his back arched off the bed and he bit his lip to keep from spending so soon. "Let it go, my love. You are so tense." Elladan purred around the flesh in his mouth, wanting to taste the sweet nectar of his light and joy. He dipped a finger into the oil and brought it to the puckered opening that promised such bliss, heat and trust. Lightly, he traced the outline of the opening to his husband's body before sliding the lone digit inside. Twisting it, he slid it in and out of the tight passage, fear of hurting his beloved forefront in his mind. He moved his mouth faster on the hard flesh while at the same time working a second digit into the tight heat. Crooking his fingers, he found the nub that had his husband arching off the bed with a moan of pure lust. Hands, roughened by millennia of wielding bow and sword, twined in his hair to keep his mouth in place, not that it was needed. Elladan worked even harder on the rigid member in his mouth and pulling his fingers out, returned with three, scissoring them and preparing the tight channel to accept his needy flesh. Stroking his husband's pleasure spot, he felt the tightening and swelling of the rock hard staff in his mouth and hummed around it. With a shout, Orophin exploded into Elladan's mouth and his husband proceeded to drink him dry. Tugging on the chestnut hair in his hands, he pulled Elladan up to join their lips in a heated kiss. He groaned as he felt his husband's rigid flesh enter him, the feelings of love and contentment welling up to suffocate him. He wrapped his legs around Elladan's waist and urged him to move. Elladan needed no second urging and began to thrust. He tried to keep it gentle, yet the pent up longing for his mate was fast over taking him and he began to pound into the willing, writhing body below him. Grasping his husband's reawakened flesh, he stroked his mate in time with his swift hard thrusts, rushing them both to completion. Tumbling over the edge once again, Orophin came, shouting Elladan's name in his bliss, grasping his husband roughly to center himself. Sapped of all strength, he fell back limply onto the mattress, a boneless puddle of sated elf. Feeling his husband's seed flood between their bodies and the dark channel clench around him, Elladan knew he could hold back no longer. Screaming his husband's name, he let loose and poured his essence into his mate's sated body before collapsing on top of him. Gently pulling out, he rolled them onto their sides and rested his head on his lover's chest. With a sigh, he murmured sleepily, "I am glad you are home, Orophin." before drifting off to sleep, content in the embrace of his love. Abandoned Chapter 9 A/N: I have forgotten to include this prior to this chapter. The beaver dream was inspired by Darkladyd and Melyanna in one of our RPGs. I must pay homage to the strange way our minds work in the wee hours of the morning. Also, In this chapter the character of Carthôlion is owned by Tuxedo Elf and is used with her permission. Love you guys, bunches. Enjoy! "Come, my love. Let us bathe the blood and the stench of our lovemaking from our bodies." Taking Lindir's hand, Elrond led him to the sunken marble pool and opened the gates that would allow the fresh spring water to mingle with the water that was heated by fire and kept in immense vats located deep under Imladris. With the water now flowing into the tub, Elrond let go of Lindir's hand and grasped the bottle setting on the shelf next to the pool. Removing the stopper, he inhaled and sighed. "I love the smell of vanilla and lavender mixed, do not you, Lindir?" turning his head to smile at his lover. Turning back to the flowing water, Elrond allowed a large portion of the bath oil to pour out before setting the unstoppered vial on the wide ledge. Lindir, shaken over what had happened, trembled visibly. Allowing Elrond to lead him to the tub, he kept his head lowered, his hair effectively hiding his face. Startled, he mumbled, "Aye," in response to his lover's question unable to meet his gaze. Tears were coursing down his cheeks. "I am sorry. I should leave." Turning towards the door, Lindir took three steps, before he was halted and spun, his mouth captured in a bruising kiss. Elrond felt fear clutch his chest at Lindir's words. Desperately, he grabbed Lindir, spun him, and crushed their mouths together. Elrond tried to convey his desperate love for Lindir through their kiss, but when he released the other, knew he had failed. "Lindir, stay," was all he said, hoping it was enough for he knew not how to convince the elf otherwise. Lindir held his body stiff in Elrond's embrace, fighting to keep from responding. When Elrond released him, he was able to keep from sobbing, but only with a supreme effort. Refusing to meet Elrond's gaze, Lindir hurried for the door, freezing with his hand on the door handle at Elrond's words. "I cannot," he whispered, trying to keep his voice steady without success. Then turning the handle, he left the room and fled to his chambers to collapse on his bed. Lindir sobbed for hours it seemed, until finally he drifted into a trouble sleep. A maid entering to light the fire a few moments later, startled Lindir awake and he jumped to his feet. "Leave it," he said hoarsely, his voice strained from the sobbing. Lindir then stood and watched her leave the room before turning to begin tossing clothing and supplies into a bag. Once he had packed what he would need, Lindir headed for the kitchens, hoping there would be sufficient supplies for him to take. Spying the freshly baked lembas, he stuffed enough into his bag to last for a month, grabbed a water skin, and headed for the main hall, fully expecting it to be empty. Lindir froze in shock when he rounded the great staircase that faced the main doors. "Father, Mother?" he whispered, his face going white and he started to sway dangerously. He reached out for something, anything to steady himself, and was surprised when his mother rushed forward to help him. "Lindir? Is it really you?" she cried, tears sliding down her pale cheeks at the sight of her son that she had presumed dead. Suddenly, she dropped in a dead faint at Lindir's feet. Erestor and Glorfindel, coming down the stairs together, witnessed the incident, yet could hear no words. Seeing Lindir sway and watching the lady crumple, Glorfindel jumped the rail and landed gracefully next to them, helping Lindir to a seat before turning to pick the lady up and gently carry her into the Hall of Fire. Placing her on a sofa, Glorfindel was shocked to note that the male elf that was with the lady had not moved from his spot. What shocked him even more was that he recognized the elf from his time spent in Lothlórien when the twins and Arwen were small. "Carthôlion! How fare you, my friend? I have not seen you for many an age." Finally, actually looking at the warrior standing at the foot of the stairs, Glorfindel gasped in shock. Erestor had rushed down the stairs to kneel in front of Lindir, taking the cold, trembling hands in his own. His concern at spying the traveling bags in Lindir's possession was deep. "Lindir, what is it? What is wrong?" Looking up into the youngster's face, Erestor cried out at the dead look in the pale mistral's eyes. Erestor rose and, settling on the bench beside Lindir, pulled him into his lap, wrapping his arms around him, much as he had done with Arwen when she had been small. Stroking Lindir's hair, Erestor crooned softly to him and rocked him in his arms. Carthôlion stood affixed to his spot. "Lindir?" he whispered, unable to believe his eyes. With a loud clatter, his wooden crutch fell to the floor from nerveless fingers and he crumpled to the floor, unable to support himself. His eyes never leaving the figure Erestor held on his lap, Carthôlion began to cry softly. "Lindir," he sighed and dropped his head into his hands and his shoulders began to shake from the force of the sobs that were torn from him. Elrohir quickly moved to the aid of the fallen elf, yet wondered how he could help him. He quickly dropped down beside him and wrapped his arms around the shaking frame. This was how his father found them. Elrond, concern for Lindir gnawing at his breast, had bathed half-heartedly, dressed, and then gone looking for Lindir. When his rooms proved empty, Elrond had run towards the main doors, knowing that Lindir planned to leave Imladris. He slid to a stop upon seeing Lindir held by Erestor, his son comforting a sobbing elf on the floor and Glorfindel just visible within the Hall of Fire. "What is the meaning of this?" Elrond asked, his voice filled with unshed tears. TBC
