    Summary

    Rain drips down the slope of Pete's nose, over his full lips. He's lying on his scarred cheek, pressing that sensitive and intimate part of himself down on Ray's shoulder. He shifts his face, rubbing his hair against the bare skin of Ray's neck, sending shivers through his entire body. Ray adjusts himself as subtly as he can. Accidentally squeezes Pete's muscular shoulder a little bit. Prays that he won't notice.

    Watches, holding his breath, as Pete keeps dreaming.

    Wonders if he's dreaming about a stocky, sweaty redhead, hauling bales of hay in the stuffy Maine spring.

    ---

    In which Ray watches Pete sleep, and dreams about another life.

    Summary

    She returns in the late afternoon when the rays are low, and they dance long shadows down from the canopy, languid and hazy. The air is clean again. Calm. The light is warm, and it kisses softly along the earth, along the grass—along him.

    ---

    Or, we can all agree that Adar deserves to be put to some kind of rest. Or, in the aftermath of Eregion, Galadriel returns to the forest to plant a seed in the earth.

    Summary

    Elrond pushes further, testing the weakness. “Would you prefer me unconvincing? There are those in your position who would enjoy seeing the desperation in my falsity.”

    Adar closes his eyes as he smiles, as his gauntleted hand seizes Elrond’s wrist and moves it gently but clearly away. He is shut as stone. “These are clever little tricks, boy, but cease them now. You have no idea.”

    Elrond gives away Nenya before Adar reaches him on the battlefield, and so Adar takes Elrond instead.

    Summary

    It is… a memory? Yes, a memory. He was young and going to war. He was perhaps afraid, perhaps keen, perhaps both; he had not yet lost all that he is still to lose. And this… this night happened, he is sure – he remembers – he relives it, campfire smoke in the cold air, the bright stars above. Singing, around him -

    Some small and desperate part of him tears at his mind – these are orcs you hear, these are orcs, you know the tune, that’s all, they’ve stolen it and distorted it and sullied it like they do all else, it’s not your songs, it’s not your comrades -

    - but his lips mouth the words of the song all the same.

    Summary

    “Why have you stopped?” Adar tries to keep the edges of his irritation tamped. But he knows she can hear them tucked along the edges of his words nonetheless as mirth glitters through her eyes despite the wash of tired, furious stubbornness that is their default setting in these days.

    “It is hot.” The declaration comes in the tone of the command. In the righteous smugness that rears less these days but manifests, Adar suspects, specifically for him, in times where they are both worn thin.

    Galadriel's hand comes up to rest on the mane of her horse, fingers tangling through it, soothing. “The horses are hot.” She adds and turns her eyes on him again, and her eyebrows seem to say. And you? In challenge.

    ---

    Or, in the midst of a long journey, Adar and Galadriel stop by the side of a lake. There's banter, skinny dipping, and, despite everything, something soft.
