The Middle-earth Thanksgiving Meme



Prompts

1. Cooking! Mmm Lembas... Is it supposed to be smoking like that?
2. Long lost relatives! Long time no see! How were the halls this time of year?
3. THAT relative! Nobody wants them to be here. Is it you or someone else?
4. Too much wine! Go ahead and speak your mind or act ridiculous.
5. Clean up! If you didn't cook, you clean up, it's only fair.
6. Food Coma! Apparently a condition that can affect even Elves.

OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU LIKE! AU IT UP!
Doesn't have to be a Thanksgiving dinner with relatives - friends or enemies are cool too!

Maglor wants a drink XD

[ ................................. ]

I am never going to be able to face your mother.

[ Elf lords do not facepalm. But exasperated fathers certainly do ]

Elros! Fire is dangerous, neither you nor Elrond ought to be playing with such things - what on Arda were you thinking!

XD

[immortalhalf]

[He was dead. Elrond would surely kill him.

But at least he didn't shrink away from Maglor, as he had for the first few months. Almost a year. And occasionally even after that.

...And it was kind of funny to watch Maglor facepalm. Elros leaned back against him again, reassuring his foster father all was well.]

We know the dangers, which is why they never spread.

[Besides, no one had ever noticed.]

We took precautions, always plenty of water.

XD

[bythewaves]

Multiple times oh Eru... [ Maglor moans and drops his head into his hands ]

Elros you are fortunate that no harm was done! Ai, it is bad enough already but to have to face your mother if you were harmed!

/DYING XD

[immortalhalf]

[Elros pulled back to glare up at him.]

We are fine!

[SULK.]

you started it? XD

[bythewaves]

[ A soft huff and Maglor pulls Elros into a hug ]

Oh yonya I know you are, but there are things that you truly should leave alone until you are older. I know you were both being careful, but Elros, if something had gone wrong, and neither Maedhros, nor I, nor Erestor or any of your guardians were nearby, what then? I have known what it is to have burns, Elros - it is not an injury I would wish on you.

>D For which I have no regrets. STILL DYING THOUGH

[immortalhalf]

[He didn't refuse the hug, but he also didn't immediately lean into it or return it. Instead he looked away, some of the bluster in him vanishing at the protective words.

Still, it took a minute before he muttered.]

...You won't always be there.

lol

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor's grip tightens and then falls away ]

I know. Soon, you will have to leave, I think. You are growing up so fast! But just for a while, Elros? Let me worry about you while I still can.

XD

[immortalhalf]

[Just as Maglor's hold loosens, Elros finally leans back against him, turning to press his face back into familiar robes.]

Must we? Do we have to go?

[Rather a turn around from years before!]

[bythewaves]

Oh Elros. [ Maglor presses a kiss to the head tucked against him ]

It will not be safe for you to stay - one way or another, I will endanger you. I would keep you with me forever, but you are not mine to do so.

[immortalhalf]

[He shook his head vehemently, arms winding back out to cling to Maglor.]

No you won't. You never have, since we met. Let us decide when, or if, we leave.

[Or convince Elrond, since Elros is more likely to listen that way. Maybe.]

[bythewaves]

Oh Elros. You forgive more than you should. And if I let the decision to the two of you, you would stay, so I cannot. I have kept you too long already.

/moves over to shiny new Elros journal >D

[starfoam]

[...Nope. Not letting go. Even if he gave Maglor a little shake, it made little impact.]

And where would we go?

Shiny new journal is Shiny also I nearly tagged this with gondor-tan /headinhands

[bythewaves]

[ ... well if Elros is happy to stay here then Maglor will pretend, just for a little while

You should stop that Caranthir says, not unkindly It only hurts more when you stop ]

You still have kin, you know. Maedhros and I were thinking of sending you to Gil-galad and Cirdan on Balar. The High King is your cousin, I believe, and would doubtless take you in.
