DRABBLE: 14. Ride
Jul. 29th, 2017 11:56 pm(Middle Earth, Legolas/Gimli)
As the sun rose and their fire turned to embers, the three hunters knew they needed to move on. Resting for even as long as this had been a luxury. But Aragorn and Gimli had been exhausted and Legolas was in no fit state to ride all night either.
“ihhh-ihhhh-IhHichhhh!” Legolas dabbed a handkerchief at his nose as he reluctantly left the bedroll he shared with Gimli. He sat up, looking weak and a little dizzy.
“Will you be able to ride?” Aragorn asked, concerned.
“He’ll be fine,” Gimli grunted, stroking Legolas’ head. “Aye, I’ll hold him steady on Arod.”
DRABBLE: 9. Cloak
Jul. 20th, 2017 04:32 pm(Middle Earth, Legolas/Gimli)
They’d taken shelter under some trees for the night, but the snow and wind still found them. Gimli shivered. His teeth chattered. His nose ran. He could barely feel his hands, though he had them tucked under his thighs to keep them warm.
“Are you cold?” Legolas asked softly, his words nearly eclipsed by the storm.
“N-nay,” Gimli replied, trying not to sniffle.
Legolas moved to take off a cloak.
“Don’t!” Gimli reached out to stop him. “I gave that to you because you’re ill. You need it.”
Legolas hesitated then reached out, pulling Gimli under the cloak with him.

DRABBLE: 96. Purr
May. 1st, 2016 09:21 am96. Purr
(Lord of the Rings, Legolas/Gimli)
“ih-ih-ih-ihhhh!” The elf prince’s ears twitched as the sneeze built. It was that movement, not the hitching breaths, that woke Gimli. “ihh-Ihtchh!”
“Galu.” His voice, rough from sleep, was cleared it as he dragged a handkerchief out from under their pillow and wiped his elf’s nose. “This ailment refuses to let go, aye?”
Legolas nodded, sniffling. His breath hitched again. “ih-ih-ihhh-ih-ihh-ihh-ihhh-Hitchh!” He purred with contentment. “Do dot stob.”
“Which?” Gimli rubbed at Legolas’ twitchy nose through the handkerchief and rubbed a finger along the contour of one pointed, twitchy ear soothingly.
“Both.” Like a cat, he curled against his dwarf.

DRABBLE: 93. Remedy
Apr. 28th, 2016 07:28 am93. Remedy
(Middle Earth, Oin/Nord)
Oin’s fingers wrapped around the mug as he carried it over to the fur rug. Nord sniffled as he looked up. Then he buried himself under the blankets Oin had laid out.
“Think I won’t find you?” Oin blew across the surface of the maroon-tinted brown herbal tea. “You’re to take my remedy and that’s that.”
“Will it taste as bad as the last one?”
Oin lifted the mug to his lips and took a sip. “Yes,” he replied, pulling a face. “But it’ll make you sneeze less.”
Beneath the blankets, Nord considered this carefully. “Then I choose the-the sn-ehhh-TIHGSHHHHH!”
DRABBLE: 87. Induce
Apr. 22nd, 2016 10:34 am87. Induce
(Middle Earth, Gloin/Oin/Eagen/Frár/Nord/Toron/Sima)
“hah-HIPTSHUhhhhhhh!”
Oin’s ears perked up at once. He knew his husbands’ sneezes well, but this one was different somehow. When no other sneezes came, Oin tried to keep his mind on the cleaning task. Sometimes a sneeze was just a sneeze, after all.
“hahhhhhhh-haaahhhhhhhhhh-IHKTSchhhhhhhh!”
And sometimes a sneeze meant a cold. But Toron? Never! Oin crossed the room. “Tor? How do you feel?”
Toron grinned and showed a feather he’d plucked from his feather duster. “Tired of cleaning. Bored and horny. And wanting of your attention.”
Oin moved in close, hands on his husband’s hips. “You have got it now.”
DRABBLE: 73. Annoy
Apr. 8th, 2016 02:35 pm73. Annoy
(Lord of the Rings, Gimli/Legolas, past-Aragorn/Legolas)
“HahChuhhhh!”
Gimli growled and Legolas squirmed against him. “Cannot help it,” Legolas whispered, and Gimli was unsure if he meant the elf’s hardness against Gimli’s leg or the nasty cold the elf’s former lover had. Either way, the man’s sneezing was so frequent no one in the company was likely to get sleep until it passed.
In the morning, Gimli would prepare one of his uncle’s remedies. In the meantime, there was nothing to be done except try to not listen and try to not think about how Aragorn’s sneezes made Legolas stand.
“hahhh-hah-hahhhhCHUHHhhhh!”
Gimli growled as Legolas moaned softly.
DRABBLE: 60. Sore
Mar. 20th, 2016 03:26 pm60. Sore
(Lord of the Rings, Legolas/Gimli)
“ihhhihhh-Ihtchhh!”
Gimli held up another handkerchief.
But, this time, Legolas shook his head. “No-sniff-nose too sore. Sniff! Sniff!”
It did look it, a flushed pink at the tip and an angry red all around the nostrils. But Legolas’ nose was still sniffly and runny. It would get no better if it remained wet. “Even if I touch as softly as I can?”
With something close to a whimper, Legolas relented, and Gimli dabbed the soft handkerchief at the tender nose.
For a moment, Legolas seemed to bear the touch. Then he pulled away, wincing. His nose and twitched immediately. “ihhhTihshhh!”
DRABBLE: 43. Contagious
Mar. 3rd, 2016 07:17 pm43. Contagious
(Lord of the Rings, Legolas/Gimli)
“Hah-Yihhshooo!”
Legolas started to carry the mug of tea over to where Aragorn lay, shivering and sniffling in his bedroll by the campfire. “Here you are, Estel.”
“Hold it!” Gimli held his arm up, hand on Legolas’ chest. “You are not going anywhere near him.”
“Gimli, I will not catch—“
Gimli took the mug. “Right. Because you are not going near him.” He took the mug to Aragorn, helping the man sit up to drink. Out in the middle of nowhere, the last thing he needed was a sneezing elf on top of a sneezing man.
“ihh-Ihhhtchhhh!”
Too late.
DRABBLE: 38. Horses
Feb. 27th, 2016 10:39 am38.Horses
(Lord of the Rings, Legolas/Gimli)
Gimli hesitated outside the door to the barn. “Dwarves do not like horses.”
Legolas pressed a hand to Gimli’s back, applying just a little reassuring pressure. “You can ride with me. The horse will not hurt you.”
“But they…” His nose wrinkled, even as he rubbed it with a thick finger. “But they already are. Er… Herrr-Exgshh!”
“Oh Gimli…”
Aragorn turned in the doorway. “Not to worry. I know some herbs that will help with that tickle.”
Gimli found himself being ushered away at once, grumbling, “What will help is if I do not have to go near horses again.”
DRABBLE: 24. Headache
Feb. 13th, 2016 11:54 am24. Headache
(Middle Earth, Gloin/Oin/Eagen/Frár/Nord/Toron/unnamed dwarf wife)
Though Nord’s story was wonderful, Eagen’s mind and gaze wandered. They landed on Gloin, who rubbed his hand across his forehead. Headache. Perhaps he had merely had a trying day with Gimli. But the baby was fast asleep in Toron’s arms now. So perhaps the headache meant more.
Eagen elbowed Oin and tilted his head toward their weariest husband. “Headache?” he whispered.
“eh-RRffftch!” Gloin buried a sneeze in the crook of his arm.
“Cold.” Groaning, Oin rose and went to Gloin. With a kiss to the temple, Oin removed him to the sickroom before the others caught what he had.
DRABBLE: 13. Grass
Feb. 2nd, 2016 08:30 pm13. Grass
(Lord of the Rings, Faramir/Eowyn)
“Keep sniffling and it’s right back to the Halls of Healing for you.”
From his back, Faramir gazed lazily up at the clouds. “The flowers and grass tickle my nose, and you know it.” He reached out for Eowyn’s arm and received her instead, rolling over in a flourish to sit on top of him.
She twirled a blade of grass between her fingers. “Tickle, you say?”
“Don’t,” he warned.
But she did. Teasing and twirling gave way to tickling and twitching.
“Don’t, I’ll-heh-I’ll-heh-Ttttschhahh!” He sat up partially as he sneezed then fell back upon the grass with another sniffle.

Summary: Gimli tells Legolas about his childhood.
Author Notes: Masking and I were throwing around theories about dwarves’ sexuality, and how they might be bisexual given the scarcity of dwarf women (and their physical appearance so closely resembling dwarf men). And I put out the theory that maybe because there are so few dwarf women, large family units came about with multiple men and one woman and they’re all one big happy dwarf family where the men take comfort in each other as well. And then suddenly I was writing this fic. So, yeah. I give you: polyamorous dwarves.
