Fuck It Friday 🧇
Aaaalrighty. I am actively trying to get back to working on my wips but ngl until we know where the show will take the characters, I probably won't be working on anything non-established relationshipy.
This also means that I might have to scrap some (or most) of my wips by the time the season ends, starting with the jealous eddie fic. So I thought I might as well share some stuff from it before that'd happen.
He hooked the chart back to the end of the bed and walked over to the bedside table. “Thirsty?”
“I- yeah, thanks.”
Jason filled up a glass and passed it to Buck, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
“Not to sound like I’m glad you’ve been crushed by a collapsing floor — because believe me, I’m not.” He leveled Buck with a look that reminded him of Maddie before he continued. “But I am glad I finally got to see you. I was beginning to think that you’ve been ignoring my texts on purpose.”
Buck held his glass over his stomach and stared at it for a moment.
“I uh I kinda was.” He admitted quietly.
“Oh?” Jason asked in surprise and even though he didn’t seem upset, Buck still couldn’t help but flinch. “Did I- did I do something wrong?” He frowned, almost as if he was asking himself instead of Buck.
“N-no, no, not at all it’s just… did I? Do something wrong, I mean.”
“Buck…”
“Y-you uh you bolted pretty quickly after our date so I thought—”
Jason put a hand onto Buck’s thigh, just above his knee, and he snapped his mouth shut.
“It’s… nothing,” he shook his head, “I think it just seemed like you had your hands full with work and family and I didn’t want to make it worse. You know, before we could see where things were going with us.”
Maybe Eddie was right and he didn’t mess this up that badly, maybe it really was salvageable.
“Yeah?” He tipped his head up hopefully.
“Yeah.” Jason shifted his hand onto the top of Buck’s, bringing immediate warmth to his skin and he couldn’t help but lace their fingers together on top of the bedsheet.
He also couldn’t help but to instantly think about Eddie holding his hand through two layers of gloves while they both thought Buck was about to die. The way he desperately wished to feel Eddie’s touch one more time as he caressed Buck’s cheek and made him talk through bloodloss.
“So, are we on for another date?” Jason’s quiet voice teleported Buck right back to reality where Buck wasn’t dying and Eddie was no longer holding Buck’s hand.
“Yeah, s-sure I’d love that.”

Ah, Lothlorien, where the world was always gold and under the ever-watchful eye of Galadriel. A place where Mallorn trees towered over all else, and life moved slowly while everything and everyone raced by.
Here under a canopy of yellow leaves, the Marchwarden Haldir was enjoying a walk. It was a luxury that was never truly possible while Sauron held sway over the east and bands of orcs thought it fit to traipse around the forests. It was strange as well, not to be on guard all the time. Still, Haldir wanted to make the most of moments such as these, for one never knew how long it would last.
He was alone, as he cared for no one’s company for the most part. Wars and skirmishes only showed him that close bonds brought nothing but grief and loss. Haldir kept himself closed off, but all that changed when you called in on Galadriel, and was asked to stay for a while. Haldir had been tasked with showing you around, and something happened. For the first time, Haldir felt a stab of something, something he thought he’d never feel. The longer you stayed, the stronger that feeling became.
He knew a pairing with someone like you was impossible because, after all, he was a lowly Marchwarden, and you were a princess, a cousin of the feared Thranduil, no less. You were, in the words of mortal men, way out of his league. Still, he dreamed of a future with you, impossible as it may have been. Haldir knew he could never hope for more than just a friendship, but seeing you talking and laughing with the other warriors made his blood grow hot. Haldir never claimed to a paragon of elven virtue, and always struggled to keep his jealousy in check.
Lost in thought, Haldir walked on until he reached the path leading to the Nimrodel. There, seated by the stump of an old oak tree, was you.
How pretty you looked in the morning light. Your lips were pursed in concentration, your eyes skimming over the words of a letter. Haldir thought it best to leave you alone and reluctantly turned down another path.
You look up when your skin prickled, and your eyes rested on a familiar cloak. "Haldir!" You call out. "Why are you skulking off?" He turned, his stomach a-flutter. What was it with your voice and the effect it had on him? "I'm not skulking off, my lady. I'm merely going in another direction."
"Without even saying hello? How odd." Your stomach got all tied up in knots when he looked at you the way he did, like no one else existed to him. "And how many times must I ask you to use my name instead of my lady?"
How he longed to say it. How he longed to hear what it sounded like when he said it. Haldir shook his head, for he knew such familiarity would be considered impertinent. "One more time, my lady," he responded with a respectful tilt of the head. "As always."
You stifle a groan. Proper, well-bred Haldir, and his good manners. Him and the arms that could carry you without a problem. The lips that looked like they could make you forget everything with just a kiss, and...and...You sigh, trying to fight back the more lustful ideas forming in your head. No. No. Now was definitely not the time for such thoughts.
"My lady?" He asked when he joined you.
"What? Oh. Forget the name business for now," you say quickly. “Would you like to keep me company? I could use a diversion from this."
When you hold up the letter you were reading, his attention first drifted to seal of the sender. "This has come from the Elvenking?"
His eyes went wide when you replied in the affirmative. "He sounds quite vexed," he said, after noticing several passages that had been written by a very heavy hand.
"He's angry that I'm refusing to marry according to anyone's wishes but my own." You put the letter back, thinking a reply could wait. Haldir’s wide eyes had grown to the size of saucers now. "You-- you wish to marry according to your own fancy?"
What did it mean for him? Did this mean you could marry anyone you liked? Or only someone that met your family's expectations of a suitable husband?
"My parents made it clear they would respect my choice the day I turned one hundred years of age. They'd rather I marry a man who was good to me and made me happy."
Haldir sat down next to you, praying that this wasn't a trick and that you were sincere in what you were saying. "When you say that, does it mean that freedom applies to high-born anyone? Or anyone, anyone?"
His attempt at feigning indifference was adorable, but oh so obvious. Did he like you? Was that it? Was that why he sometimes looked at you the way he did?
A spot of digging is in order. "Anyone, anyone," you said with heavy-lidded eyes. "Even a Marchwarden of Lothlorien."
The water he was drinking came flying out of his mouth. Fortunately for you, he had the good sense to turn his head to the side.
"So I made a list." A cough quickly disguised the laughter that threatened to burst forth. "And I was wondering if you'd help me narrow down the candidates."
Haldir narrowed his eyes, his blood growing hot again. Others? You had others in mind? Oh, he'll help you alright, but not in the way you expected. "Go on," he said curtly.
Was he jealous? You put on an innocent air and give out a list of names. "I was wondering if Orom would do."
Celeborn's most trusted captain. "Orom. A very pretty face," Haldir said, "But not much going on between his ears."
"Oh, that's too bad," you tut in disappointment. "How about Aethelred?"
"An elf who couldn't tell the difference between an orc's tracks and a hobbit's even if his life depended on it."
"Faindir?" You fire off names in quick succession. "Nîdor?"
Haldir looked at the river, shining like a silver ribbon under the morning light. "Faindir is a terrible swimmer." He leaned in and whispered conspiratorially after taking a good look at his bow. "And Nîdor is the worst archer I have ever met."
"Goodness. What must Celeborn think of his men?" The struggle to choke back your laughter grew harder with each passing minute. "Glorindir then, surely."
Glorindir. Glorifindel's youngest brother and a favorite amongst the ladies. "Him," he muttered angrily. "Of course, he'd be on your list."
And there it was. The flared nostrils. The fiery glare. Haldir was indeed jealous. "Is Glorindir such a bad choice?"
Haldir's countenance was like an enraged God's, if such a thing existed. When he gave word to his views of Glorindir, they were far from flattering, and borderline obscene. Seeing him all worked up like that made you wonder what it would feel like if Haldir directed that energy towards you, but in a completely different context.
While you were wrestling with the dark and sinful thoughts that formed in your mind, Haldir, on the other hand, had worked himself into a rage. Why were you even considering others when he was there right in front of you? "Besides, Glorindir wouldn't know how to please you even if a book of instructions hit him square in the face,” he finished hotly.
"Oh? and you do?" You said saucily.
“Yes! No!” Haldir's eyes crinkled in embarrassment, for he had outed himself. "I mean... I didn't mean it like that..." he sputtered. "Y/n, what I meant was..."
"You said my name." You appear more composed than you were. Something about the way he said your name made your heart race.
Something about saying your name made his heart race. Haldir went red, for he knew he had gone and done it now.
"And those others are more than just pretty faces, lousy warriors and so-so lovers." You retort. "Haldir? Are you jealous?"
His anger had given way to abject mortification. "MaybeIam," He muttered under his breath.
You tilt your head to the side in interest. "Haldir? What did you just say?"
He sighed and gave in. "I'm jealous, alright? There. I said it. I'm jealous. I don't understand why you should be interested in the others when I'm right here in front of you."
“And why is that?" How your skin warmed when sky blue eyes looked at you with longing. "What cause do you have to be jealous?"
"Because... because..." Haldir groaned and threw up his hands in frustration. "Urghhhh! I like you! There! I like you, y/n. I like you a lot!"
"I've liked you from the moment I first saw you!" Haldir was not about to stop now. "All I can ever think about is you! And," The way you looked at him, your eyes filled with mischief, gave him pause. "And-- and you know that, don't you? The list? It was just a... a..."
"A clever little ruse to ferret out the truth?" Your smirk only served to inflame him. "Indeed."
"And I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker." The two of you stood up like warriors about to spar in the training yard. "Oh, but you are shrewd."
You jutted your chin in defiance, but the humor never left your eyes. "Come now, Haldir, I was just having a little fun and --."
"This isn’t a joke, y/n!" He snapped as his eyes drifted to your lips. His fogged mind was filled with visions of your lips.
“Why?”
"Because you don’t know what it’s like!” Haldir took a step towards you without even realizing it. “Because you don’t know how it feels! I--I--” His shoulders drooped in defeat. Might as well come out with everything now. “I forget to breathe when I’m around you.”
You stand there, silent and stunned. Haldir pressed on, determined to see this through. He needed to know that he tried his damnedest to win you over. It would give him some comfort if you did indeed choose someone else in the end.
“I mean it. I can’t breathe when I’m around you.” Haldir murmured, his voice shaking with both fear and need. “There are times where I can’t even think clearly if you’re around. That’s the effect you have on me. And I don’t want you to consider anyone else,” He said passionately as he inched closer. “I want you to consider me. Only me. Is-- is that too much for me to ask?”
You stare at him, touched by what he just said. “Haldir... I...”
In the blink of an eye, it felt like he was in front of you and all around you. His kisses were hungry and needy, his lips devouring, taking as much as you gave him. It felt like your bones were melting and you cling onto him like the two of you were glued together.
Fireworks. His kisses reminded you of Gandal’s fireworks, glorious and breathtaking. It felt like your very breath was sucked out of you. It left you weak and at his mercy. Haldir moaned into his kiss, his tongue dipping in when your lips parted. Nothing even in his wildest imaginations compared to really holding you, to feeling your breath mingle with his, his own body responding in a way it had never done before. It made him forget all sense propriety and made him want to take, to take until you had nothing left to give. When he pulled the both of you to the ground, you only encouraged him, and he would have gone further had a twig not snapped in the distance. Haldir came crashing back to reality when he realized the two of you were out in the open, and there were other matters he wanted to get out the way first.
"Wha--?" You mumbled when he pulled away. "Why?"
"Not here, y/n," He whispered in pants. "Too many eyes. And I've yet to ask if I could court you."
"Oh," You look up at him with sheepish eyes. "Do--" you gulp. "Do you want to ask?"
"I do, and I will write to your parents as soon we head back," he said, his temple resting on yours. "But there is that small matter of your cousin."
"Him?" You grin. "Adar told me to never worry about Thranduil. He'll be more than happy to tackle him should he create problems. I personally think he likes getting scrappy with the king. Naneth says watching Thranduil huff and puff whenever Adar says no fills her with great amusement."
Haldir chuckled. "There's never going to be a dull moment with you and your family is there?"
Your nose creased, and your eyes narrowed in amusement. "No, sir. And if you're planning on courting me?"
"I do," Haldir's grin matched yours. "I definitely do."
"Then you better get used to it."
"Oh I will," Haldir declared eagerly. "I look forward to getting used to it."
