Of all the lotr horses why does absolutely no one talk about Arod??? LIKE- HES THE GOODEST BOY.

He's the unofficial third wheel when aragorn isn't around, he loves to trot, and legolas calls him his friend in the books!! Like please I love him so much you guys give him some love.

headcannon that gimli flirts with legolas through how he touches him while they ride arod.

-when they first get on the horse, gimli (uncomfy) loops his fingers through lego’s belt loops and that’s IT! nooooo unnecessary touching! yikes!

-then they’re riding through rohan and they’re TIRED but legolas still takes the time to check on gimli and tease him while they ride,,,and it’s kinda hot? so gimli holds the elf’s hips while they ride. feels good for both of em. lego notices the change immediately and he loves it.

-next they’re reuniting with the wizard and merrypippin and riding to war and everythinghappenssomuch. gimli and lego are caught up in the chaos and lean on each other heavy to keep grounded. the rest of the fellowship notices how they’re always whispering/finding a way to touch each other. gandalfs like WE’RE AT WAR THERES NO TIME FOR FLIRTING but they just laugh. the fellowship’s suspicions are confirmed when they mount their steeds and see gimli fully pressed up against legolas with his arms wrapped completely around the elven torso, with lego leaning back into the hold. despite the circumstances, they are smiling :)

-by the time they ride for the black gate, they are head over heels OBSESSED with each other. if they aren’t married the elven way yet, they will be soon. the tension…..is high. gimli pets legolas while they ride, lego turns around to kiss the dwarf whenever they slow down, and no one wants to know what devilish things gimli’s whispering to cause the elven ears to flush such a deep crimson. everyone is surprised that arod hasn’t bucked them off with the sheer amount of PDA happening on his back. disgusting.

-when it’s all over and they finally get married the dwarven way (official ceremony and all that), arod is the ring bearer. bless that horsey!

A smaller and lighter horse, but restive and fiery, was brought to Legolas. Arod was his name. But Legolas asked them to take off saddle and rein. 'I need them not,' he said, and leaped lightly up, and to their wonder Arod was tame and willing beneath him, moving here and there with but a spoken word: such was the Elvish way with all good beasts. Gimli was lifted up behind his friend, and he clung to him, not much more at ease than Sam Gamgee in a boat.

I have such a very clear visual image of Gimli here, and it's absolutely hilarious, and I so very much wish I could draw it to my own satisfaction 😂

jeetrod yaoi writing ❤️

context: its 2005 and they just fucked but now jeter is being a meanie

alex let his head fall back against the pillows, exhaling and glancing at derek, who was sitting at the edge of his bed. derek was still shirtless, though he had pulled his boxers back on by now.

alex watched him, watched his changing expressions as they shifted to one of indifference.

"y'know, it's hard to continue this when it feels like you hate me." alex hummed, his tone soft in comparison to his usual loudness on the field.

"i don't hate you." derek mumbled, glancing at alex from the corner of his eye. his words were cold, as if he didn't really mean them— maybe he didn't.

"it feels like you do." alex shot back. derek didn't respond.

alex let out a sigh and shifted to be closer to derek, pressing a kiss to the side of his neck.

"you could atleast try to be less of a bitch.." he mumbled, the corners of his lips perking up in a small smirk, which he was glad derek couldn't see.

"shut up," derek muttered, unable to resist from letting a small smile onto his lips.

it was bittersweet, honestly, because they both knew just as well as the other that the moment they stepped into the locker room the next day, the tenderness between them would be gone.

an: i havent written in a while and im coming back to it now so this is kinda short but i might redo it and make it longer
