Sometimes your mind wanders while drawing characters hugging and you wonder: "What if Glorfindel ended up back in Valinor again, talked his way into going back to Middle Earth a second time, and then he decided to smuggle Ecthelion back with him?"

This was followed up with: "It would be funny if they were really bad at it."

Close-ups of the doodles and what I like to call them:

"The Hug that Started it All"

2. "A Brainstorming Session"

3. "Cloak Attempt #1 - In Which Glorfindel Realizes He Needs More Cloak"

4. "Cloak Attempt #2 - Sure, Ecthelion Can Crouch-Walk Out of Valinor"

The Great Finwean House party

‘Nolofinwe’s on the way home!!! The dinner at grandads just finished the lights are off at the banquet hall!’ Aegnor’s yell over the noise in the house made Turgon freeze from where he was fetching another bottle of wine. ‘Oh fuck,’ and they set into motion trying to sort out this situation before they all got disowned. The first thing to catch his attention was the presence of several wild animals including a fucking stag so Turgon went looking for Tyelko and his darling little sister. They were trying to wrestle a moose, because of course they were and Tyelko was wearing disturbingly little clothing, though that may be down to the game of strip poker he recalls Glorfindel initiating earlier. It could also be down to the fact that Tyelko is always naked by the end of these things whether there’s an explanation or not. This may take a while. Aegnor also decided to go looking for his sister first, he had been thinking about getting Finrod, but decided he’d prefer not to be scarred for life. Artanis seemed to be in the process of fighting Argon and Curufin at once, seemingly over a game of cards. She was winning. He tried to pull her back but was met with a knee in certain reproductive organs. It was kind of on him, Artanis was always an aggressive drunk and he was fairly certain everyone had had a minimum of three bottles by now.

He decided to take a tactical retreat, and went to find Nelyo instead. He was the responsible one, he’d be able to take charge. Anyway he was the only one with any sort of success record in dealing with the rest of the Feanorians. He should have been expecting it. Rule number 1 of Finwean house parties (aside from the obvious don’t tell anyones parents rules) was that you should leave Maedhros alone during the course of the event. And preferably until the next morning just in case. This was the only rule the Feanorians all followed at all times and for good reason. He walked into the room he’d seen Nelyo disappear into just after ‘knife throwing for heavy drinkers’ and immediately wanted to bleach his eyes out. Findekano and Maedhros both seemed pretty preoccupied and didn’t even seem to see him come him. He decided to just yell ‘Nolofinwe’s coming’ from the hallway. It had the desired effect and they came scrambling out moments later trying to drunkenly find all the clasps on their clothing. Maedhros went bright red when he saw Aegnor in the doorway and opened his mouth to explain but Aegnor cut him off, simply saying ‘just lock the damn door next time.’ The venture turned out not to have been a complete disaster because Maedhros did end up taking charge. He seemed to flip a switch and when he raised his voice the entire house stopped what they were doing. ‘Ok everyone you know the drill! Nolofinwe’s getting back here soon and if any of our parents find out even a fraction of what we were doing tonight they will never trust any of us alone again!’ he was impressively authoritative for someone who had very obviously just been getting a blowjob less than five minutes ago.‘Tyelko, Irisse, I swear to the Valar if you haven’t got all the animals out of the house in ten minutes….,’ Tyelko groaned ‘on it, on it.’ ‘Good, Artanis, let go of Curvo and help him wipe the blood off the table,’ Artanis gave him a glare and for a second Aegnor thought she might refuse, she was the only one that would ever dream of disobeying the eldest, but eventually she seemed to decide it wasn’t worth her while. ‘Moryo, put down the knife, I know Angrod’s a brat but there’s enough blood from the drinking games already, help me out here,’ Caranthir relented with one last threat to his cousin before moving to help clean up.

‘Maglor, please stop singing, they’ll be able to tell you’re here from a mile away, and Finrod!’ he yelled up the stairs now, ‘put your clothes back on!’ ‘How do you know what I’m doing?’ was the reply. ‘Well are you or the approximately two people in the room with you wearing clothes? No? Thought not. Get sorted the fuck out. Same goes for you Glorfindel! And Ecthelion I guess.’ and then with a look of horror Maedhros looked around frantically ‘No one invited the Ambarussa right?’ ‘No, of course not, we must preserve the innocents, what you think we’re fucking mental,’ was the general consensus. Maedhros breathed a sigh of relief ‘Alright everyone let’s get to work!’

With that they all scampered about, defying all logic and cleaning faster than they would have were they even remotely sober. These things were a base instinct at this point though, and there was no trace of any of it in half an hour. ‘Scatter!’ was the final yell from Tyelko, and they seemed to melt into the walls slipping out windows and back doors with one final word of ‘same time next month?’

Can I request kiss for Glorthelion? (Dark romance)

AN: Sure thing! Hope you like what I came up with ^^

dark romance prompts

♡ prompt: kiss & somnophilia (spicy bingo) | Ecthelion x Glorfindel ♡ synopsis: Ecthelion is jealous of Glorfindel's other lovers and decides to stake his claim in a different manner ♡ warnings: kissing while asleep (bit of non-consensual somnophilia), jealous Ecthelion, hints at the "sex addict Glorfy" headcanon (the server crew knows) ♡ short oneshot (~650 words)

Dawn broke over the Hidden City, yet its lords remained in slumber after a long night of revelry. 

Save one.

Ecthelion sat on the floor of King Turgon's hall, half-empty goblet in hand, and listened to the quiet sound of birdsong and the occasional snoring from the other attendees who had fallen asleep in various odd places. He had eyes for only one of them, however – Glorfindel, languidly resting on a nearby couch and lost in deep slumber. His hair was all over the pillows and falling down the seat as if someone had spilled liquid gold on it, messy yet no less marvellous, and his plump lips were still wet from the wine he had consumed and swollen from the kisses he had received. 

The Lord of the House of the Golden Flower was, as was no secret among the Lords of Gondolin, quite fond of the company of men and women alike and took many lovers, spending as much, if not more time enjoying the pleasures of flesh as he did eating, drinking and socialising. Ecthelion, too, had received his favour earlier, though now that he beheld him once again, content and seemingly innocent in his sleep, he found his desire reawakened; and alongside it a different longing. 

He would fain have had Glorfindel to himself for the entire night, enjoying his wonderful body time and time again until they both passed out. As wine had continued to loosen his tongue, he had even begged him to stay and not seek out another, yet the golden-haired warrior had merely responded to his request with playful laughter and slipped out of his grasp. 

Jealousy had taken hold within Ecthelion then. He knew he had no right to claim Glorfindel for himself and attempted to remind himself of that fact, but he couldn't help it. Seeing him in the arms of another not even an hour after their parting had caused a sharp sting of displeasure to mar his enjoyment of the festivities, and he had spent the night brooding in a corner and watching the other attendees entertain the man he wished to be with. 

Yet now, everything was over, he was the only one left conscious and Glorfindel was right there, no other attempting to take him for themselves. No hands on him, no lips kissing his, no warm bodies pressed against him, skin on skin. 

Ecthelion set down his goblet as quietly as he could. He was no longer thirsty; rather it was hunger that plagued him now. 

With slow, careful steps, he walked over to the couch and climbed on top of the sleeping warrior as elegantly as his current state would allow, one knee between his legs, hands on both sides of his head as if to cage him. 

Glorfindel did not wake. His eyelids fluttered, and he turned his head slightly while muttering something under his breath; but he continued to sleep, blissfully unaware. Ecthelion beheld him for a moment, smiling to himself. How wonderful it would be if he could wake up to such a sight every day, if only the Lord of the House of the Golden Flower would be his. 

Gingerly, he leaned down and pressed his lips against Glorfindel's. The kiss was tender at first, though Ecthelion swiftly grew bolder once he sensed that his slumbering lover wasn't waking up. It even seemed to him as if it was reciprocated, sleepily and sloppily; perhaps, he thought, his dreams were just as lewd as his conduct, and the thought excited him. 

Still, kisses were all Ecthelion dared to take – one more, two, three, four, until he finally had his fill, withdrawing with a pleased sigh. These were his and his alone, and he would now be the last to have kissed Glorfindel for the night, so that his touch would linger at least for a time. 

Thanks for reading!

More from the “old fashioned, sort of stuck up Gondolin AU”

(also Ecthelion came back with Glorfindel for the sake of this story, because I love him and I said so, ahahaha)

Glorfindel: And then he rolled one of his sleeves up! And I saw his wrist! Like all, all of it!

Ecthelion: wow! Honestly? You must be jesting!

Glorfindel: I am not! I didn’t even know how to react! Erestor is the last person I would have expected to be so forward.

Ecthelion: Well, they say it’s always the quiet ones. So? What was it like?

Glorfindel: Absolute perfection

Ecthelion *sighs wistfully*: I wish i could see his collarbones. I bet they are exquisite.

Glorfindel *blushing*: Ecthelion! Don’t say things like that! When did you become so promiscuous?!

Ecthelion: I am not! You were the one staring at his wrists!

Glorfindel: I wasn’t staring! He pulled the sleeve up!

Ecthelion: And you looked, you pervert! Did you try sneaking a look underneath my sleeves too, back in the old days?

Glorfindel *scandalised*: I would never! Whom do you take me for? I only looked after our courtship began and only touched after we were bonded! You on the other hand, were definitely staring!

Ecthelion: Yes, I most certainly was. I saw everything and regret absolutely nothing!

Lindir, overhearing them by accident: wtf?

Elrond: it is honestly better not to ask

Sometimes you look at the Band on the Run album cover for a second too long and you get ideas... Ideas like continuing your drawings of Glorfindel being really bad at trying to sneak Ecthelion out of Valinor and back to Middle Earth with him.

In this attempt, we have Glorfindel and Ecthelion deciding that their inexperience with boats means nothing, they can totally row a boat* back to Middle Earth themselves. And then they promptly got caught.

*a boat that they bought.

And as a bonus for everyone, have the album cover version:
