    Summary

    “In those days the Companions of the Ring dwelt together in a fair house with Gandalf, and they went to and fro as they wished.” – J. R. R. Tolkien, Return of the King

    During the War of the Ring, Legolas and Gimli learned that they would gladly die defending one another. But now that peace has come at last, they find that there is so much still to learn. In the summer that the Fellowship spends in Minas Tirith, they at last have time to talk as they never did before. Before long, they find themselves staying up late talking, revealing secrets and dreams – so late that it is the most natural thing in the world to bed down together afterwards.

    But the summer is also hot, and the heat of the summer nights may lead to more revealing than either of them could have expected.

    Summary

    Gimli’s friendship with Legolas is accepted if disliked; his reverence for Galadriel understood if mistrusted . . . but there is only so much liberty a lord of a new dwarven colony may be allowed. In a world unforgiving of the depth of their love, the only thing Gimli can think to do is deny it, even if that means breaking both of their hearts.

    Or so he thinks. But when he sees the depth of his friend’s heartbreak, he knows some other solution must be found instead.

    Summary

    Gimli and Legolas, in love with each other but both convinced that their feelings are not reciprocated, get married in order to provide the foundations for an alliance between Erebor and Mirkwood (now Eryn Lasgalen).

    Their marriage, much too happy for a marriage of convenience, will have to face a Very Big Misunderstanding that, after leading to a comedy of errors that was not originally planned to be part of this, might help them to clear things between the two of them, after all.

    Summary

    When Gimli is but a child, he gets lost in the mines of Ered Luin. It is dark, and it is cold, and he is alone.

    He will never recover.

    With his shaking hands and his Stonefear Gimli cannot perform as well as he wished, as a Dwarf. He can't go on a Quest to reclaim Erebor. He can't go on a Quest to reclaim Khazad-dûm.

    He can, however, force his way into the Quest to save all of Middle-Earth.

    There he meets Legolas, who reminds him too much of his friend Ori, in many ways.
