a prophecy for @elthruil
❝ DEATH CLAIMS WHAT IS HIS BY RIGHT no matter how deep under the earth you try to hide it. hearts break and mend all the time. beware the one eyed raven, and tell your son you love him. if you drink at the feast tomorrow you’re going to have a bad hangover. ❞

❝ WE ALL NEED TO BE MOCKED from time to time, least we start to take ourselves too seriously, hîr vuin. ❞
The illness that drives you, through spite and through waning, it pumps through your veins like tar and ash. They want to ask if it hurts. If their body writhes and aches. If this ground burns their feet. The little divine thing worries of course. It was at times like these their naivety shows. They are no longer innocent, but a childlike concern peaks from their parted lips. “Will you be better soon?” @elthruil
❝ is all well with you , my lord ? ❞

starter for @elthruil !
“ i apologize for the short notice , thranduil. ” he sits , hands clasped before him on the desk , the picture of tranquility were it not for the restless tapping of his foot. he isn’t typically given to fidgeting , but overtired , worried , and exasperated , he doesn’t stop himself in this instance. “ i was hoping to ask a favor of you. perhaps you’ve heard of the trouble with wobani today? ”
@elthruil said: “you’re home. you’re safe.” THIS IS COMPLETELY FINE
( iluvatar breaks bread into two and the world follows suit: manwë takes the skies, ulmo takes the deep, varda plants her seeds into the cosmos ━━━ and then there's you, and then there is love. it starts small, with the caterpillar, with the worm, and all those things that eat dirt, and then grows into something beautiful. you walk the shores, feet bare against the sand while you get used to having feet, and everything is simple. but then he decrees : i have named you messenger, and your bones reshape inside your body, this black hole of abstract shape caving in on itself until you're inside out, muscle and sinew and gold tinted blood. )
she's never been good at being stationary. like light, she breaks into pieces, she dances with the dawn, she disappears only to overflow. the first children awake and she whispers to them stories, and then the second come and she laughs along with their wide eyed innocence. war comes and goes, lays the land into ruin, and the fire is too hot, too brazen. they praise the names of her brothers and sisters, but never her true name, and that is fine with her. térya died in fire and padmé was reborn in water and so she, like the waves, endures.
she meets him when he is war thorn and kisses both his hands, though he will live and not remember. she is light ━━━ she is half moored dreams and fragments of song and the smell of rain, wet and full, after a draught. when she meets him again he is king, and she dances around his fires, steals food from his plate, turns red like dawn under his gaze.
( oropher, she calls him once and only once. maedhros one morning when the sun bleeds inside the room and turns his hair red. a thousand ghosts, a thousand memories, all alive and breathing under her skin, all so very hungry. she never says mairon's name. sometimes she thinks he's grateful for it. in nights when the moon is hidden, she holds little tauriel in her arms, runs her fingers through crimson strands, and cries. )
she thinks she loves him best under starlight with the forest alive around them and his hands at her hips. she whispers to him in her tongue, pretty things and terrible things and things filled with mourning. traps promises in the dip of his collarbone, where it's safe, places her hand across his beating heart. alive and ruinous are they, beings of light, rooted into earth. a rumble of thunder, the tenderness of morning dew, her lips and his lips and everything in between. aeons has she wandered, unbound, following her heart and the pleas of many voices, but for once, there is a tether binding, red thread around her heart and his, and she forgets to worry.
as expected, it's not all sugar and honey. her temper flares like a hurricane, his levels trees to the ground. she screams herself hoarse and he grows ice around his body, and then she leaves a while, turns into stardust, only to come like the spring and thaw him.
( you're either going to eat each other up or make something beautiful, elrond tells her once, amused, his fingers in hers and eyes still haunted ever since she called him his brother's name. they watch together as the son of arathorn stands on wobbly feet, each twin at his side a sentinel, and something pierces through her heart like an arrow. she looks at him, and his smile turns soft ; you deserve to be happy, the both of you. )
and she is ━━━ eru, she is. happiness was always measured in coffee spoons until now, and now she has to learn to drink it by the gallon.
but then the earth splits open and spits out magma, like it is wont to do. dwarves wake the dragon, something far worse wakes along with it, and in her mind she sees the lamps destroyed, feels the flames scorch the earth and eat away at life. he's stuck in winter and for once her spring sun is not enough to breathe life into his frozen bones, and so unlike her kin, she fears. in sleep, mandos whispers a kiss across her brow, holds her hiemal hands in his, says : not yet, térya. not yet.
thus she wakes and his arms around her are a lifeline. his fingers brush away tears she has not even known she was crying, press her into his chest and oh, she would climb between his ribs if she could. she would hide between his bones, if only to make sure that his heart is beating, that the garden within is not overgrown with weeds. and here is the truth: iluvatar has called her messenger, and the eldar have called her protector, and the children of men have given her a thousand names, but he only ever call her her own. he is pretty with sleep and with worry, and bids her to return home among the living, and she does, one breath at a time, one blink.
❝ i'm home, ❞ she whispers and her voice trembles, presses her face in the crook of his neck where she's safe. her fingers curl into his hair and it's not red, it's liquid gold against her hands, he's sunlight, he's fire that does not burn. her mouth is soft at his daltoid, open and panting with the remnants of terror, but he is patient and gentle, urges her jaw to unclench, her eyes to dry. and here's another secret : she's never been good at staying still, wings aching in the absence of flight, but he does not seek to cage her, merely to hold her, and she's known that her heart lies with him for a long while now nonetheless. ❝ i'm home. don't go. ❞
