The red, dimming sun hovered at the edge of the world, her light melting away into purple twilight. Legolas welcomed the cool quiet of nighttime, as another day had come and gone without any of the fellowship coming to harm. He stood unmoving, watchful, and awaited the coming moon.

They did not see him as they passed, as Aragorn led Boromir into the wood, but Legolas sighted the smile on Aragorn’s lips. It was a smile of night, soft, mysterious, full of promise.

The men passed into the shadows, Legolas awaited the moonrise, and smiled at the dusk dark sky.

*happy sigh* I'm so in love with your drabbles. ♥

Ooh, beautiful. That ties back so perfectly with Boromir's 'brilliant smile' at dawn! They're really made for each other, complementing each other so well...

Argh, lucky Elf, getting to see them! ;)

*hugs you*

Thank you so much, and I agree, they *are* made for each other. *g* I'm glad you liked the sun/moon themes, I realize that's how I like to think of them, both so different but still undeniably bound to one other. Opps, there's my sappy side peeking out, ;) Thanks for reading!

*hugs*

I just have to agree with Cinzia and would like to add that I absolutely agree with your association of Boromir with the sun and Aragorn with the moon. Love this drabble!

Many thanks! I didn't even really think of it, with the sun/moon theme, it just kinda worked out that way. Thanks again, ;)

I find it suspicious that Legolas always seems to sit on the right spot to see them. You can't tell me that's a coincidence. *g*

[archet.livejournal.com]

Hee, well of course it's a coincidence! You're not suggesting that Legolas would *spy* on people, would you? *g* I'm not sure why I want to write from Legolas' pov suddenly, he's a rather pushy Elf when he doesn't get his way, you know, so I had to give him another drabble. ;)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yes, give him one. It would make a wonderful part of the "Cheer Jasta Up"-challenge - she's such a sucker for everything concerning Legolas. *g*

[archet.livejournal.com]

Actually I have began a follow up ficlet, but I haven't been able to finish it, and I wasn't sure Jasta would care for a fic with an A/B slant even if Legolas played a part. And I missed the deadline anyway! Ug. I hope to at least finish it though, we'll see, ;)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

No, you have not. Deadline is *this* Sunday, so all is not lost yet. And don't worry, Jasta is a buyer for good Boromir or Aragorn stuff, too. Especially when you give her Legolas as a bonus. :))

But no pressure. It was just an idea.

I haven't found the chance to work on it again, so unless a minor miracle occurs, it won't be finished in time, but I really would like to. It's been so hard to find quiet time to write anything lately! Ugh. ;)
