Aredhel/Celegorm
Maedhros/Fingon

N32
calm
Feanor wasn’t nuts (just misunderstood)

N36
green

N38
loss of friendship

Format:Part one of..? Chaptered tale
Genre:drama, angst, possible humor eventually
Rating:guessing PG13 or R, not sure yet
Warnings:violence and blood and stuff
Characters:Finwe's clan, and others in Valinor
Pairings:for series, all the usual canon stuff (like Feanor/Nerdanel), plus Maedhros/Fingon, Celegorm/Aredhel, Erestor/Galadriel
Summary:Feanor wins.. wait, no, loses, but not really.
Notes:Suddenly influenced by a dose of terrible management of that thing going on at onering, this went from a happy short story to a long angsty story with a different title and ending. Also, bunniverse. Also, title from me mishearing a Blind Guardian lyric the first time I heard the song, and it sticking in my mind anyhow.

Ficlet: Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:17:00 GMT

Posted by: jay-of-lasgalen.livejournal.com

A ficlet that hits a whole host of prompts! I apologise to all concerned, but the combination was too tempting to resist.

Format: Ficlet
Title: Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers
Genre: Humour
Rating: Gen
Warnings: None
Characters: Elladan, Elrohir, Aragorn
Pairings: None
Summary: Aragorn and his brothers spend a quiet evening in Bree

G51: Injuries - Torture
B1: Write What You Know - a song title
N38: Write What You Know - a food you dislike
I27: Weather - Windy

Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers

"Where are you sleeping tonight, Aragorn?" Elladan demanded. "In the stable with the horses?"

"No!" Elrohir protested. "That would be a torture for the poor beasts. Bree has laws against animal cruelty."

"Well, he is not sharing with us again!"

Aragorn ignored both his brothers with the tolerance of long practice, and continued with his meal.

"The boiled beef is not so bad," Elladan continued, "It is those things." He pointed to some soggy green lumps on the plate.

"They're sprouts," Aragorn said indistinctly, his mouth full. He swallowed. "Barliman grows them himself."

"Well, in that case, you can sleep in his room tonight," Elrohir told him. "They have a most unfortunate effect on you, little brother. They make you windy!"
