Of Elves and Men by Tenshi no Korin (R)
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Aragorn/Legolas
Author on lj: Unknown
Author website: bishonenink
Why this must be read: "In that fading home of immortal elves, Lothlorien, Legolas is distracted by mortal things, in particular Aragorn." Legolas makes some observations about Aragorn and Aragorn does some observing of his own. What startles me the most about this piece of fic is how, even though the observations are sometimes very obvious, they never feel that way at all-- What could have become cliché in less able hands is original and *true* when done by this author (and a few of the observations are quite amusing). It's not the sex here that is the focus of the piece (although that's nice), but rather Legolas' almost stream-of-consciousness narration and the interaction between the Elf and the Man.
But there is an inertia to our lives that is not like to the pendulum of men's hearts, the motion of age and death and years. In Rivendell are kept the shards of a broken sword, but men, and most of all, you, are the ones who keep the shattering of it.
