When You Are With Me by Nimue I Am (Rated M)

Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Legolas/Gimli
Author on LJ: not that I know of
Author Website: her ff.net profile
Why this must be read: This is the fic you read late at night, after a really long day. Intense, compelling and - yes, I dare say - extremely fucking hot. *coughs*

This fic starts with the Battle of Helms Deep. Legolas falls after a trap set by Saruman leaves him in crippling pain. Gimli, trying to guard him, discovers that the only thing that can distract Legolas from the pain is, well, sensation of another sort.

I saved this one for last because it's good enough to go out with a bang - or three. Nimue I Am has a great grasp of the writing style, and I love her use of the language. My only complaint is that everyone's a little all-knowing about it. I doubt Gandalf and Aragorn had nothing better to do than wait around to see if these two would ever hook up.

Set aside some uninterrupted time for this one - it's worth it.

Oh! I love Legolas and Gimli fics and I seem to have missed Nimue I Am, so thanks for pointing it out. I'll go check it out right now.

Ooh, a Legolas/Gimli story I haven't read.

Thanks!
