WHEW this just started with one six-character card and then went wild. I actually had never drawn a couple of these characters before, including Elemmírë and Anárion and Malbeth!
Some of these designs were entirely up to me and some of them were part of the character request, so if you find the same character on my blog they might look totally different! That was part of the fun of this challenge. :)
My favorite is Ancalimë just vibing with her sheep. Who’s yours? ❤️ Got a different headcanon about their identity?

4862 years is a long time to be away from your best friend. Fortunately, Glorfindel is a master at coping with unwanted feelings. Absolutely, no doubts about it.
Erestor disagrees, and they have no problems with sending Ecthelion every letter that could never be sent to him to prove their point.
Here are nine of them.
Notes: Me, projecting onto Glorfindel? It’s more likely than you think! I saw you liked Glorthelion, but couldn’t make it fit romantically. Fortunately Glorfindel raised his hand and explained that he’s aroace, actually, but definitely queerplatonicly in love with his best friend, and it all came together from there!
Warnings for: General emotional angst (with a happy ending), non-graphic references to death (Glorfindel’s and others’) and to Sailing, depression, some romance & relationship talk, and the usual highs and lows of Arda Marred.
Hi there, best wishes from your (slightly late) Secret Santa. These guys will always be my first love - hope you’ll enjoy!
Yule in Imladris: Pretty much what it says on the tin. It’s midwinter in Imladris, Elrond and Celebrían have taken the family to visit her parents leaving Erestor in charge, and Erestor and Glorfindel get to share a first (and second) kiss.
Glorfindel and Erestor, art prompt for Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2020 @tolkienrsb!@himrings picked up the prompt and wrote a wonderful story to go with it that I love!
Peace is just beginning to settle into the valley of Imladris when a new caravan arrives from Lindon, bringing with it a mysterious stranger. As Glorfindel is drawn into Erestor’s quest to catch the criminal who escaped him in the sack of Ost-in-Edhil, he becomes more and more fascinated by the enigmatic, beautiful elf; but Erestor has secrets, and he will pursue justice to the bitter end - no matter the cost.
“Then, the investigation became a top secret meeting in a room full of broomsticks and cleaning tools. Erestor, Tindómiel, Thranduil and I were squeezed like thieves, discussing the matter. The secret council was stopped midway as a servant opened the door to fetch a bucket and brushes. Imagine being a staff member of the castle and find four important people sitting in undignified positions and whispering like criminals. Miel was sitting on my lap. It’s a good thing she’s my niece, the domestic won’t think too much of it. I can’t say the same for Erestor who was settled between Thranduil’s legs and was caressing his thighs because he could, with Thranduil poking his stomach (Erestor is ticklish. He kicked me because he was squirming too much).”

Sorry I haven’t posted anything new in a while (visa stuff is killing me, lads) so anyway here’s a little sketch of Glorfindel and Erestor that I did a few nights ago.
You know, as much as I love the dynamic between Glorfindel and Erestor where Glorfindel is the one to pursue him both in friendship and later romance, I think it would be hilarious if Erestor took one look at Glorfindel and was like “I don’t have a heart but if I did I would love this elf”. Glorfindel just ends up kind of being attached to Erestor (he doesn’t mind it). Plus this fits in with my personal headcanons about Glorfindel being super anxious (at least when he first arrives on ME) so he always has Erestor around who glares at anyone who even LOOKS at Glorfindel the wrong way.
Bonus
Valar:We have created the perfect elven warrior
Erestor, holding up Glorfindel: No you didn’t, you ruined a perfectly good elf. Look at him, he has anxiety.
