    Summary

    On the eve of the final march to the Black Gate, Aragorn finds himself caught between duty and something far more fragile, something he’s never dared name. When Legolas offers to braid his hair, a quiet gesture becomes a moment heavy with everything they haven't said.

    In the silence before war, what do you risk revealing? And what do you choose to leave unsaid?

    ******

    Inspired by Aragorn’s half-braided hair towards the end of Peter Jackson's The Return of the King. It’s such a simple change, but it felt like a quiet story all on its own, and of course I had to write an Aralas fic for it.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    First part of an unfinished saga. Very worthy of reading, though.

    Summary

    "Steady now, Master Elf, do not swoon."

    "Tis not my first arrow." Legolas snapped, irritation beating back the pain, and opened his eyes to see the hobbits exchanging quick looks. "You irk me on purpose." He realised, and then inhaled sharply as the pressure increased.

    "I thought it might keep you awake." Gimli admitted.

    --

    Legolas is wounded before they even reach the Misty Mountains. It brings the company together.
