Horse Sense by ErinRua [archived by HASA_Archivist]

Summary
Dear Friends ~
The purpose of this article is to share a bit of horse lore with fiction writers who may not have much familiarity with our old friend, the Horse. Please understand that this is not intended to be the definitive end-all of horse facts. I am not a breeder, a veterinarian, a scientist, or any kind of expert. I do not pretend to know more than other horse folks who may read this, and especially not those who may have views differing from or knowledge greater than mine. What I offer are merely my insights and knowledge of the horse, gained in my twenty years or so of working with them as a guide/outfitter and occasional cowhand. This article is merely intended as a basic guideline for writers who may not know the Horse, and these are the facts as I, personally, understand them. I hope you will find this collection of both use and enjoyment, and comments or corrections are welcome.
~ Erin

Summary
'Surely if ever there was a time to tell Gimli it was then, flush with an impossible victory.
Except he had said nothing, for there was ever more to do and never time, never time to pull Gimli aside and taste the mouth hidden beneath the fall of his moustache, to fit his slim, Eleven hands into ones coarse with callouses from the handle of an axe, to tell Gimli that every song Legolas sang, every smile and laugh and every step forward he had taken since their path darkened was bolstered only by Gimli at his side, to speak to him of Elvish courting rituals and run his fingers through Gimli’s russet hair and ask if he would allow Legolas to twist an Elvish braid in it, something to mark to all the world, even if only his Elven eyes would understand, that Gimli was tied to him.
To ask Gimli to teach him all the impossible ways their bodies might fit together.'
The night before the Battle of the Black Gate, and several days after.

Summary
Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm — ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war... with Draco Malfoy.

Lovely clean prose, enjoyable dialogue, and in all, a very in-character and canonically solid gap-filler.

Run through a whole gamut of emotions in less than a thousand words: from curiosity and humour through romance all the way to the bittersweet ending. Highly recommended!

Harry's willing to put up with a certain amount of injury, as long as he and Malfoy can keep doing... whatever it is they're doing. Maybe. Mostly.
Especially if there might be more to it than sex.

Summary
Elves are in love with things that fade: with the trees, with the rain, with this mortal world. But the things dwarves love are as bright and enduring as diamonds; they live forever, and they do not fade. In the aftermath of the war, Legolas and Gimli come to realize that they have found the things they love in each other.

A constellation of little white blooms dot the hillside around them. Gimli hadn’t noticed them when they first tumbled onto the grass, but now something about their dainty faces makes him huff an incredulous chuckle.

Summary
Based on a prompt by TAFKAB formerly in the 2000GigolasFics collection. Legolas and Gimli have secretly been in a relationship since a chance meeting in Mirkwood several years before, but don’t dare to let their families or companions know about it, for fear of being forced apart. After all this time, they’ve become very good actors – but maybe not good enough to last through a journey with seven companions who are quickly catching on – or their deepening fondness for one another.

Summary
Dwarves do not always know when they have found their one mate—so if they separate without realizing it, their bodies have a quick-acting and unpleasant way of alerting them: the amral barzûlegûr, or lovesickness. No one knows what effect such an illness might have on another race—in all the known history of dwarves, such a thing has never happened before. Until now.
When Legolas and Gimli each fall inexplicably ill after parting to return to their homes, their families must find out what’s wrong—and must reunite them before it’s too late.
