    A Binding Braid by for PerfectlySteadfast

    Summary

    "The gwelaith -- an ancient law of Gondor. What is it in the common tongue?"

    "Binding with rope?" Estel translates doubtfully -- his best guess, though it doesn't make much sense.

    "Joining as two ropes, like a braid," Elrond corrects. "Joining in a way that strengthens. That was its purpose -- to tie the house of the king to the house of his steward, and strengthen both offices by the connection."

    It is an ancient law, that the king of Gondor must marry a member of the steward's house. If Aragorn is lucky, maybe it will turn out to be so ancient that everyone's forgotten about it...

    Summary

    Legolas is Aragorn's guide through Mirkwood.

    ***

    ‘Your legs are so long,’ Legolas says. He hasn’t lain down again.

    Aragorn nods. He isn’t committed to a conversation. He is listening to the rain. It’s been a long time since he was last in company. He keeps forgetting to speak or even acknowledge Legolas’s existence.

    ‘What are you thinking?’ Legolas asks.

    Legolas stares at him with eyes that are too bright, too large. But his smile is gentle, easing. He is a prince. He is young. What does he know of the outside world?

    Aragorn isn’t old yet, but he feels old. He broke his ankle three years ago, and it will never heal right. The knee on the same leg has gone bad, aching inside of him, and he is finding grey in his hair.

    Legolas is older than him, so much older, so much younger. He is bright and strange and dangerous and kind. His hair is braided again and again. His fingers are too long.

    ‘Nothing will hurt us here,’ Legolas says. That could be true. But it isn’t. There are memories and nightmares moving around in his mind and making every shadow into a threat. The great trees could come tumbling down.

    Summary

    They sit on the edge of ruin and talk. Aragorn is as weary as he has seldom been, a pipe between his lips and the grey cloak of Lórien about him, but he sits and listens to the voices of Merry and Pippin and feels like he might yet live.

     

    Or the one where Aragorn kisses Legolas for the first time under the bright light of the sun instead of the dark cloak of night.
