Fandom Trumps Hate fic part I

*screams and drops fic*

Words Unspoken

Based on a prompt by TAFKAB formerly in the 2000GigolasFics collection. Legolas and Gimli have secretly been in a relationship since a chance meeting in Mirkwood several years before, but don’t dare to let their families or companions know about it, for fear of being forced apart. After all this time, they’ve become very good actors – but maybe not good enough to last through a journey with seven companions who are quickly catching on – or their deepening fondness for one another.

My first piece for the fandomtrumpshate auction this year, for PT_Tucker. I’m not entirely happy with the way it turned out, but hopefully it’s an enjoyable enough read!

. . . My goodness, that was a ride. I loved their sort of fragileness, how it seemed they were trying to keep it secret partially to keep it in that hanging-state where it was separate from the rest of their lives.

Odd question: Can I write fic of this? Gosh, there's just so much potential. First meetings . . .

Oh man! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and yeah-- that hanging-state was exactly what I wanted to get across, so I'm glad it worked! For awhile I worried that their excuses for keeping it secret were all too weak, but then I realized that that was exactly their point-- they were doing all this rationalizing, but really they were just scared of their feelings and scared of what they meant.

It's both flattering and weirdly terrifying to be asked that question, because this story is one I wasn't very happy with when posting, so the tiny voice in my mind is like why?. But yes, absolutely! Ideas are totally free, and this one used to be up in the collection before it was removed, so it is absolutely free for the writing! If you'd like to link to this one when you're done, I'd be flattered, but it is in no way a requirement! :) It's a fun idea, and I wish you fun in the writing of it!

So I wrote 4k of the aforementioned fic while procrastinating on homework last night . . .
