Title: Silvan Fervor Author: Gabriel (Gesva2000@yahoo.com) Pairings: Aragorn/Legolas Rating: NC-17, I suppose. This is just romantic slush, with a little blowjob on the side. Summary: Legolas and Aragorn rekindle an old romance in Imladris shortly prior to the Council of Elrond. Disclaimer: I don’t own any characters that appear in this fiction, so there. Authors Notes: My first slash, this is probably a bit on the choppy side, at least in the transitions. History has altered slightly, as you will see, to account for Aragorn and Legolas’ first meeting. Oh yeah, and please review this. Flame me, critique my work, praise is good too. If you’re going to critique me please try to make it along the lines of technique, like character and plot development. * Fic. Inspired by the fan-art Estel (Aragorn is so cute there!)* The stars fires were still burning within the azure firmament, the rosy fingers of dawn just beginning to stretch across the horizon, as Legolas rode silently into Rivendell. He sighed inwardly as he looked down upon it, his eyes shining as they caught the early morning light. For as much as he loved the leafy boughs of Mirkwood, he knew of nothing, save the forest of Lothlorien, that could compare with this, the sacred valley of the Elven folk. Every facet of the place caught the magnificence of nature in its thrall, from the bubbling brooks, to the many lodges wrought of stone and living wood. But he wondered greatly why he had been summoned to this place, Elrond had relinquished no clue, and to this question his father would give no answer, save that it was a matter of great importance. The sounds of hooves against stone echoed softly off the granite walls of the valley as Legolas’ mount approached the gates of Imladris. His breath caught back in his throat as Legolas raised his gaze to the man leaning against the gates, as if to meet him. A man still young looking, but with an intelligence that betrayed his years, a crop of jet-black hair fell nearly to his shoulders, slightly curled. Olive green eyes were silhouetted by a golden, unblemished complexion, giving him the look of a youth from the exotic east. The remnants of a rakish beard still lingered on his otherwise clean-shaven face, further shedding an illusion of a youth just entering his manhood. His full, sensual mouth was drawn into a taught O, his eyes flashing playfully as he studied the visitor. Legolas averted his gaze; his ashen cheeks flush as he felt the familiar tugging in his crotch. Casually, the gatekeeper unfolded his arms, walked over to him, and placed a hand on the beast’s muzzle. “Welcome, Legolas, son of Thranduil, we have been expecting your presence for some time. The council awaits.” Legolas stifled back a chuckle with the back of his hand as he stared into the man’s eyes with interest. Bending down lightly, he brought his face to the mans, kissing him gently on the cheek, his lips trembling. “There is no need to play games, Aragorn, son of Arathorn,” Legolas chided curtly, “I recognize you easily enough. In these twenty years you have aged but a day. The fabled blood of Numenor does without question flow in your veins.” Aragorn smiled slyly, accepting the complement with a nod, and returned in kind. “And you as well, have remained unchanged, of course, you are as beautiful as I remember.” This time it was Aragorn who gave a kiss, grasping Legolas from behind the head, pressing his lips to his, parting them as he slid his tongue into the startled elves mouth. Legolas pulled back sharply, whipping his long blonde hair in a flourish. “Not here, Aragorn, let us at least wait until we are inside.” He scolded, his voice scowling, but his lips curled into a grin. Aragorn nodded subserviently, grasping the mane of the horse as he led them into the elvish settlement. As they walked, the sun still having not risen over the mountains, Legolas studied his guide with interest. The youthful gait with which he walked, most like the elves than any man he had ever met, the rich crop of beautiful hair, the athletic build. The loose robe he wore played off of every contour of his body, giving him both an air of royalty, which he was, and the sure poise of a hunter. Even from the back he was beautiful, looking to be in his early twenties rather than late forties. His heart raced suddenly as he stared at him, resisting every erotic urge in his being. Legolas’ eyes clouded as he remembered the day in which they had first met, some twenty years ago, when Aragorn had truly been in his youth, though looked very much the same. He had gone past Lothlorien, having begged his father that he at last see the fabled forest of the Silvan race, and was heading next down the river to Rauros and the Tindrock Isle. It was some days later, when he was nearing the falls, that Legolas first set eyes on the beautiful youth who would later become the heir of Gondor’s throne. He had been on a hunting trip, he had said, searching for some fabled beast, and had tracked it thus far. They soon forgot about their previous engagements, however, being far too engaged in themselves. Legolas grinned, blushed a little as he recalled every detail. Lying on the eastern bank of the Great River, lips locked together for hours. Love, true love, was a concept that had been previously alien to both of them. The elf still found it humorous that he had fallen so in love with a mortal, a man. Love was truly blind, or else serendipity had a sense of humor. Legolas’ brilliant eyes narrowed as he looked down again at Aragorn, his shoulders slouching in weariness, he seemed suddenly older, not the spry youth who had greeted him at the gates. Legolas brought a fair, slender finger to his face, rubbing his clean-shaven chin for a moment. He smiled thoughtfully; he knew how to put the spring back into his step. His dazzling white stallion neighed impatiently as they reached the stables. The trek had been a long one, and the way had been difficult. Even the noble beasts of the elves had only a certain measure of endurance, and it was ready for sleep. Nodding empathetically, the elf led the horse towards the inner stalls of the stables, a milk white hand resting softly on its hindquarters. “Rest for now, Arod, we may of yet have more difficult days ahead of us.” The elf whispered soothingly into the ear of his mount, very much believing his own words. The horse gave acknowledging nicker before easing itself to the stall floor and rolling playfully in the hay. Pumping his legs a bit, Legolas commenced to stretch out the soreness in his joints, bringing a hand to his crotch to scratch it absently. Aragorn turned to him, his face sullen for a moment, and then creased with a smile as he studied the elves motions. The hair on the nape of his neck stood on end as Legolas realized he was being watched, his face flush from embarrassment as he brought his hands to his sides. Aragorn advanced him, pressing up against his slight form, laying an arm over his shoulders. The elf fidgeted under his touch as their lips locked together passionately, cocking his head to one side as the kiss deepened. They broke apart slowly, Aragorn taking him by the hand as he led him through the expanse of Rivendell, undoubtedly to the quarters in which they would rest and await the council. They came to it shortly, a cozy looking nook wrought of alabaster, a plume of friendly gray smoke etching towards the sky as it stole through the tiny flue of the building. The interior was simple, homely without question, but not lacking the characteristic Elven fineries. A silver washbasin stood in a corner, resting upon a fine stone pillar inlaid with precious gems, countless looking glasses stood along the outskirts of the room. In the center was a rounded bed, large enough to accommodate several people, dressed with clean linen and puffy white down. The two of them grinned slyly; they had no intentions of resting. Legolas grinned furtively, pressing his body close to Aragorn’s, groaning softly as he drove his pelvis into the man’s crotch. Aragorn shuddered, feeling the familiar throbbing of his erection, tousling the lank hair of his lover playfully. The elf took the hint, grasping Aragorn by the back of his head, pressing their lips together passionately as his free arm slid into the man’s pants. Aragorn drew in air in rasped breaths as his heartbeat quickened, his sex stiffening further, a soft moan escaping his parted lips, as the fires of his loins grew steadily hotter. Wrenching away from the prince’s grip, Aragorn gave himself wholly to his passion, ripping Legolas’ silken shirt from his shoulders to reveal the milky white torso. The man ground his crotch into the other’s abdomen, simultaneously caressing the washboard ridges of the elf’s stomach. The pleasure of the embrace ran through both of them in torrents, feathering across their intertwined bodies like water. Legolas made no effort to slow his descent as his lover leaned against him heavily, pulling the both of them onto the soft bedding. Legolas chuckled drunkenly as the path of Aragorn’s lips weaved down the nape of his neck, to his chest, and beyond. The fair son of man smiled down upon his lover as he went further and further down the contours of his body; it was time to finish their games. Wordlessly, the two striped away the last of their garments. The large rounded bed had become a great mass of writhing naked flesh, heat, and passion. A warm October breeze entered the enclosed room by virtue of an open window, the late afternoon sun fell down upon the pallid sheets heavily, heating the two further. Legolas was writhing, the small of his back arched completely into the hardwood headboard of the bed; fatigue and pleasure intermingled, their union producing something that transcended all other words save pure ecstasy. Aragorn’s head lay between the elf’s parted thighs, bent low towards his manhood (err… elfhood?). Legolas let out a small cry as the man wrapped his mouth around the hot shaft, kissing, sucking, and sliding the piece deep into his throat. Aragorn grinned as best he could with the thick penis between his lips, groaning with pleasure as Legolas began to instinctively thrust. Slender, ashen hands grasped the slick ornate bedposts as the tremors ran through Legolas’ body, his pelvis thrusting in rhythm to his companion’s actions. His muscles were taught, aching from the constant clenching and unclenching, his stomach burned in anticipation as his lover cradled the throbbing erection in his mouth. A final gasp accompanied the release of his own seed, the splash of liquid flame that erupted from his loins as he came. Legolas’ normally fair complexion was now flushed crimson from exertion. Aragorn withdrew panting, a bead of white pearl hanging dangerously from his lower lip. His tongue slid along the course of his lips, smacking with a flourish as he swallowed the final testament of their love. He fell back with a contented sigh, head propped against Legolas’ heaving chest. Aragorn took a moment to stare back into his lover’s eyes, a weak smile splitting his trembling face. He at last closed his eyes, though remained awake, as the wind lifted up the many draperies of the room, lifted the sweat from their brows, both sighing again as the fervor of the moment eased into complete and total serenity. Legolas chuckled as well, his eyes still bright as he began to tease Aragorn’s chestnut hair with a pale finger. The lengthy silence was at last broken as Legolas fidgeted, positioning himself upright for a moment as his fair face screwed with curiosity. “Aragorn, love, why are we here?” He asked weakly as he slid back down into Aragorn’s embrace. The man quaked uneasily as the serene look upon his face twisted into a troubled grimace. “That, my darling prince, I wished to keep from you. But I will not deny you what you wish…” Aragorn trailed as sleep faded from him, readying himself to tell the long tale. Legolas listened attentively to Aragorn’s words, his eyes holding a hurt and troubled look while he nodded. The mood shifted once again as he brought a trembling hand to the man’s face. “Dunadan, Elfstone, my son of Gondor…” He trailed as he traced Aragorn’s chiseled jaw line, “My love, I will follow you through this quest, to any peril we may face. I only wish to face the dark with you.” Both felt the hot tears running down their faces, tasted the sea’s salt on each other’s lips. It was many hours afterward before either moved from the spot.
