“Peace!” The sound of Glorfindel’s laughter was surprisingly nice and didn’t hurt his head too much. Erestor looked over at him, their eyes meeting and holding each other’s gaze. Glorfindel’s laughter faded away, but a smile lingered on the corners of his mouth and Erestor felt warmth pool deep in his gut.

No one moved first; instead, together. Their mouths met, held and Erestor tangled his fingers into the sun-yellow hair falling on him. Glorfindel encircled him with an arm and pulled Erestor into himself. Headache forgotten, he sank into the kiss, memory lighting up like fireflies in the wake of Glorfindel’s mouth, tongue and touch.

It ended too soon, soft lips pressed one more time on his and then Glorfindel sat up. Erestor stayed where he was, certain the world had begun spinning again. His eyes followed Glorfindel as he walked to the guestroom door, opening it a crack and looking out.

“What was that?”

Glorfindel looked back over his shoulder. “Tasting the flower?”

“I am no flower, Glorfindel. I’m a walnut, with a shell you can break your teeth on.” Erestor pulled himself up, reluctant to face the day, but he realized that the world was fast encroaching.

“I know that, but it sounded better than tasting your sweet meat.”

Erestor laughed in spite of himself. “You have a point there.”

“We should do this again sometime.” It was casual - off hand, even - and Erestor was caught off guard. Nothing had really gone the way he’d expected, right from the beginning of his brandy-soaked night.

“You don’t do difficult.”

“Sometimes life calls for an exception,” Glorfindel replied, with a glance outside the door. “Well, now’s my chance. I’ll see you at the meal, after a shower and fresh clothes.”

“All right.” A thought struck him. “Glor?”

“Hmmm?” Half way out the door, Glorfindel turned around to look back at him.

"You’ve got a nice ass." Erestor grinned, a decidedly devil-may-care attitude developing in the wake of his hangover.

"Thank you." Glorfindel took it in stride, but as he slipped out the door he added a wiggle just for Erestor’s benefit.

"Go!" Erestor laughed, shaking his head. He wasn’t sure what to make of these developments, or what Glorfindel’s suggestion would lead to. But he was curious, and while that habit had perpetually gotten him into trouble, he was too old to change now. If nothing else, maybe life in Valinor wouldn’t be boring.

I like it, it's a nice alternate ending. doesn't say they'll be lovers for eternity but you somehow suspect it. That might be something to do with the names, of course :D I still like the original, and that whichever is the real ending, they'll always be friends. And I prefer the thought of Erestor starting a new romantic adventure at last rather than being alone and sad and maybe bitter.

Thank you :)

I think we're biased probably - somehow Erestor and Glorfindel always seem fundamentally compatible, lol. I'm happy you liked it and actually glad you poked me to do it. It felt good to write again. I went through a patch a long time ago with Erestor/Elrond, didn't I? Ery's better off staying away from Elrond, unfortunately (with a Doubt exception).

I also liked Erestor/Elrond for a little while, and looking back I'm confused by it, lol. I'm glad you got to write. Remember - 300 words a day. Perhaps we should go back to dedicated writing time, then we both might get something done?
