    Summary

    Different in almost every conceivable way, though exactly the same in their shared grief, sat the sole elf of their Fellowship on top of the wall. Gimli knew better than to be nervous at his dangerous-looking position, knew that elves weren't ones to slip with a mere gust of wind, but the thought of Legolas falling to his doom as Aragorn had was too much for him to take.

     

    Or

    Before the Battle of Helms Deep, Gimli and Legolas talk sorrow.

    Summary

    Legolas refuses to give him the satisfaction of praising his detective work. Instead, he feigns being unbothered, keeping his arms crossed and refixing his gaze away from Gimli and back outside. “Are you just going to sit there?” he asks.

    Gimli pauses for a moment and adjusts his posture like he’s readying himself to stand. “If you’d really rather be alone, I’ll leave,” he says.

    Legolas uncrosses his arms and places one on Gimli’s knee as though holding him down before Legolas can think better of it, and Gimli stops moving immediately. “No,” Legolas says, his voice small. “Stay.”

    Summary

    Legolas has not slept in a very long time.

    Rather, he hasn’t rested in a very long time - properly rested, let his body sink into slumber like it so desperately craves to now. His few moments of reverie are the darkest hours of the night, the few times his fellow travellers take night watch.

    His body is unaffected by the long stretches of consciousness. His arrows fly as true as always, and his movements never slow, but even Gimli has begun giving him strange looks.

    Gimli!

    aka,

    Legolas misses home, and he can’t sleep. Fortunately, Gimli picks up on it.
