Red. Was the color of his lips upon hers. It was a color of blood, but also the color of passion. Red was the color of his favorite set of robes, scarlet, like the roses that bloomed in their garden with an underlying sheen of silver when worn out in the sunlight. Red was the color that she thought looked best on him. It was a color of power, which he displayed when he ruled upon his throne, but also the color of intimacy which he showed when they would retreat to their chambers once the light of day had turned into night. Red, was the tantalizing heat she felt when they were alone, his kisses running up and down her body, from her lips, trailing down her neck - sending shivers down her spine. Red was the color of rose petals that littered the silk sheets upon their bed and red, was the color of the first hint of the sun peeking from the horizon, signaling the start of the new day to come.
Silver. Was the color of the armor that adorned his body. Built and designed by their kin, it was something almost too beautiful to be put to use in war. Silver was the color of the rings they had exchanged when they wed, a day of pure bliss and celebration– a day filled with memories that she kept close to her heart. And silver was the her bow that he had given her, made from the branches of a mallorn tree– but now, it had been painted a brilliant red.
Gold. Like the sun kissed treetops of autumn that reflected off the first rays of sun peeking around the horizon. Gold was the color that reminded her of him. Golden, like the sun and like star-shaped flower of elanor that she loved so dearly; a color of warmth and safety – one that reminded her of his presence and aura. “You are safe with me,” He had said before, during their courtship. “I will always have your back, that I promise you,”
Blue. Was his fingers interlaced with her own as they strolled through Mirkwood during the winter, bundled up for the cold winter. She would often find herself pressed up against his chest, as he would drape his robes around the both of them. Blue was the color of his eyes that she knew all too well when he stared into her own for many night on end- his the color of ice and hers, the color of mist upon the sea. Blue. That was the color that he told her she reminded him of; gentle as the morning sky, yet mysterious as the ebbing tides of the great oceans. Blue, was the color he said he liked best on her.
Green.Was the color that reminded her of home, of the lush treetops that the woodland elves dwelled in and of the rich forestry color of the lands that she knew and loved. Green, was the newly budded leaves during spring as they emerged from the tips of their branches after a long winter. Green was his scent, earthy yet crisp, it reminded her spring. Green, was the color of serenity and of tranquility. It was the color that reminded her of her son, their treasure and small bundle of joy. Legolas. Green was the steady beat of their hearts beating as one during their precious moments together.
Black. Was the obsidian sky that they would often look up to at night, gazing at the stars that painted the black canvas of the sky. It was the color of the shadows that they had feared that closed in on Mirkwood, the color of darkness and the color of dread. And black was the color slowly seeping into view– of the world slowly fading out of focus. Black was the color of death. And black was the last color she saw.
And then … there was nothing at all. - Excerpt from Prelude to Spring
// 11.2.15 UPDATE
Will be revamping this blog a bit because I’ve decided that with my current schedule, I will not have time to rp until possibly after 2015. I’m aiming for hopefully 2016? (If at all) Instead, for the time being, I’m just going to leave this strictly as an askblog that focuses around the (two) fics that I’m writing. So all answers to asks & headcanons that are answered/posted will be related to either Last Farewell of Prelude to Spring. (both can be found on Ao3)
Relating to that, I might be posting various snippets of random chapters from LF or PtS along with headcanons as well. Please just keep in mind, this is just my interpretation of the Elvenqueen & Mirkwood family. It is also my goal to add some illustration as well, because I actually really liked doing panel comics (even though they take forever to do haha).
On the to-do list of topics to be covered:
- Marriage / Engagement
- Weaponry
- Modern!AU
** Reminder, as previously I will not have time to answer anything until after this week. //
