Title: I wish
Author: Enismirdal enismirdal@caths.co.uk
Pairing: Glorfindel/Elrohir
Rating: PG13 to be safe
Beta: None (if you see any typos, do say, and I'll fix.)
Summary: Glorfindel remembers, and wishes.

A/N: An experiment into spontaneous writing - I picked up a pencil and wrote the first thing that came into my head. This was unplanned, and I didn't even find out the pairing until right at the end. Blooming Elves! I am a little upset with my subconscious if this is really what it comes out with when given free rein...

I took you into my arms and felt you shudder in delight beneath my touch. I saw the passion in your eyes, grey eyes, grey as the stormy ocean, and I loved you. You were my world, my kingdom, my everything, that for which I breathed and lived. When I woke each morning, you were my first vision, my first thought; my nights were filled with smiling images of your face as you whispered of our future together.

I felt your body under mine, hot, strong and lithe, felt its raw power and loving tenderness. I wondered how I had been so fortunate to have ended up with one such as you.

In my moments when I felt most alone, you would appear, silent and gentle, reassuring me by your very presence that I was not abandoned, not forgotten.

I remember nights of wild abandon, laughter and smiles, wine flowing from glasses, sweet delicacies passing from slender fingers to waiting lips, as we sang songs that would make most soldiers blush!

You were everything to me, so perfect; our love was so natural, so intense, so full of compassion and respect and understanding.

Why did you never tell me? I am certain that you always knew. Did you hope somehow that by holding your peace, the truth would fade into by a memory, a shade of imagination?

I wish it were otherwise, but the one thing you most needed from me was the one thing I could not give.

I could not give you your brother back; I could not breathe life back into the faint shade that he became before he was finally lost to us.

Elladan made his choice, as did you. Would that you had known that his choice would be mortality, death and final loss. Would that he had told you, rather than taking his choice in private, thinking that it would be best for both of you if he were to allow you the immortality he thought that you wished for most dearly.

I wish for so many things, my love, but I cannot make any of those wishes reality. I am left, here, now, awaiting your choice, with neither right nor desire to try to sway you in either direction. If you choose to go on, my heart will fill with joy, but if your choice is to let the grief take you, perhaps, to him once again, then I promise that I shall remain with you until the end. I will cherish each moment I have with you, and remind you always that you have my love, forever.

seja2@cam.ac.uk? :) I don't know if anyone is actually volunteering (or if funding could be rammed past the CTS committee :)).

Oh... me likes!
And I wouldn't be so upset with your subconcious if that is the result... It's good!!

Sad, yet uplifting at the same time... a good combination!

*huggles* Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :) It just amazes me how, no matter how happy and bouncy I'm feeling, I still tend to end up writing angst. But yeah, I guess in this case, at least, there is some hope...
