Aragorn & Arwen

And they lived happily ever after :)

I had so much fun with Arwen´s dress and hair! I was a bit torn whether I should give her a hair comb, but I liked this version best without the hair comb just below the crown.

sleepy morning after the sleep over

Watching LOTR as a child: Aragorn and Legolas are so handsome! [also has a raging crush on Galadriel but no framework with which to understand or express it] Watching LOTR as a teenager: Aragorn and Legolas are still hot, also I am now able to understand I am attracted to Galadriel, Eowyn, and Arwen. Watching LOTR in my twenties: You know what Elrond can kind of get it

At The Council of Elrond

AU where Boromir survives

Aragorn has a more Elvish style while Boromir is on the latest fashion in Gondor😌

I am rereading, again, LOTR and Boromir and Aragorn right!?? Their dynamic, whatever it is, is goals.

LOTR | How they are when they're drunk

[ Lord of the Rings Masterlist ]

Frodo, Sam, Pippin, Merry, Aragorn, Boromir, Arwen, Legolas *reader is their S/O, gender-neutral Content warning * under the cut: suggestive themes (especially in Merry's) but no smut

Frodo

Oh this sweet boy gets real cocky and confident (canon in the books)

The alcohol breaks his shy boy exterior, and he becomes a hurricane of belly laughs and unbridled affection

Comes running over to you during a party at Hobbiton, throwing himself into your arms and slamming his lips onto yours

You almost fall over from shock, tasting beer on his tongue

"Come now, dance with me love?!" he excitedly exclaimed while starting to drag you

You glance at the other hobbits at the table to help save you from your drunk boyfriend's antics, but Sam was holding back a laugh from Frodo's abrupt behaviour, urging you on to go with him

You giggled while he danced awkwardly while trying to keep balance on his feet, holding onto you for slight support

"Alright, Mr. master of Bag End, I think it's time we get you home before all of Hobbiton make more gossip from you," you say to him later while he lays his head on your shoulder, rubbing his head against your cheek

He hums and sits up while giving you a lazy smile, eyes still glossy

He lets you drag him home, feed him some water despite his drunken refusal, and help him lie down in bed

All done while you try to pry his hands off of you while he laughs and begs for some kisses from you

Samwise

He becomes super protective of you

Like more so than usual

Doesn't leave your side, gets stressed when you wander too far and doesn't like it when other people stare at you a little too long.

You start to wonder if his drinking is bad for his stress levels, considering how attached to your side he seems to get

"Babe, I'm okay! I'm just grabbing some food for us from the share table." "Okay... don't be gone too long, please."

It gets worse in taverns, especially where there are a lot of larger men and elves and not so many hobbits.

He will keep a good hold of your hand when walking through the busy room, keeping you close to him.

"Honey, I think you've had enough to drink. You tried following me to the bathroom!"

Very much prefers to have some drinks at home with you, so he doesn't get all stressed.

He becomes a broken dam of stories, facts and always ends the night by pulling out his many maps and books of Middle-earth to show and teach you.

You drag him to bed when his eyes start drooping and his words slur even further than before

He happily obliges and tucks his face into your chest in bed, passing out immediately

Pippin

An absolute menace

You hearing something crash and burn in the distance? It's drunk pippin

Kind of feels like babysitting when he's had a little too much

"Babe, I can't let Merry win! I gotta beat his 12-second score!"

"Peregrine, please get off the barrel before you break a foot."

He and Merry are ruthless on the drinks. Just blink, and suddenly they've drunk a whole barrel between them

Also gets real cheeky with you with no shame

Like pinching your ass when walking past, earning a light smack on the head from you

Or when you're sitting at bar stools and he's seeing how high on your thigh he can creep his hand before you give him a look

Take him home, and he turns into a baby

Head on your lap and demanding you run your fingers through his curls

You swear you hear him purring when you do it

"Pippin, honey, I just want to read my book." "How can you be reading when you have ME in front of you?"

Eventually quietens and passes out in your lap with his arms wrapped tightly around your middle

Merry

Try and escape his advances, it's literally impossible

Becomes so unbelievably horny for you

Like an actual animal

By the time he's had like five drinks, he's DRAGGING you home

"Merry, you can't leave early just because you want sex." "WHAT? How dare you assume I'm leaving just for that! I'm actually very tired, excuse you."

Yeah... that story changes when you get home

As soon as the round door shuts, he has you pushed against it, lips against yours and quick hands going under your shirt

You indulge for a little, you'd be lying if you didn't enjoy this side of him, even a little bit

"Honey, you're very sweet, but you're very drunk and need some rest." "Ughhh but you're so prettyyyy~"

Still tries his luck while you're getting ready for bed, like grabbing you and pulling you against him while you're halfway through getting changed

Or his kisses on your neck turning into flirty bites until you push him off

Gets into bed all whiny but falls asleep quickly

You make it up to him in the morning~

Aragorn

He doesn't get drunk often

But you can tell when he is because he suddenly will act so vulnerable around you

A big telling sign is if you're talking to someone, he'll come up behind you and wrap his arms around your waist and rest his forehead on your shoulder

Once the person is gone, you turn to him

"Starting to feel it a bit huh love?"

He nods with a slight groan

He follows you to get some water for himself

Likes it better when it's just you and him, cause then he lets himself loose and gets looked after by you

Likes to smoke his pipe after drinking

If you're staying in an inn, his drunken self INSISTS that he stay up and keep watch

You have to reassure him that he's safe and there's no need

He takes some convincing, maybe even dragging him out of the chair, but he does eventually agree and lets you pull him into the sheets

You help him get his ranger garments off while he enjoys it a little too much, he tries to unbutton your shirt and pants, and you lightly slap his hands away each time

Falls asleep with you tucked against his chest and his chin on your head

Boromir

He gets quite emotional

At first, with all his friends, he is very loud and social, the more he drinks

Super confident, the life of the party and the commander of Gondor's Army

But behind closed doors with you is where his flaws appear

He tries to remain his strong, stoic, proud sel,f but gets a little teary when you rub up and down his rough and scarred back while you're both in the bath together after the big night out

You kiss his tears away, already knowing the drill from other times he's drunk a lot

"You make everything so much quieter and simple." he mumbles against your neck, where you've pushed him

"It's okay baby, you can cry."

He sometimes brings up his father's treatment of Faramir, or his stresses around commanding the Gondor's Army, or the weight of being the steward of Gondor on his shoulders

All you can do is hold him as he rants and cries, giving sweet, loving kisses all over his beautiful face and tracing scars that litter his skin

holy fuck i love this man

Arwen

(AN: I know it's basically impossible for elves to get drunk but lets pretend for this imagines' sake)

Arwen loses her natural shyness and elegance and becomes much more outspoken, confident and sure in herself

She is not afraid to say what she is thinking in the moment, becoming super blunt

This always puts you on edge because you think she's going to say something out of pocket to the wrong person

"Arwen meleth-nin, I think it's time to head back to our room. I think you upset the last man a bit with your harsh rejection."

"Perhaps he ought to have reconsidered his boldness, especially with you so close."

She becomes all soft and cuddly with you when you're by yourself

She sways with you for a little in the moonlight, wanting to make use of the time you have together

Although she can get touchy after a minute, wanting a reaction out of you

You pick her up and lay her down in bed, earning a laugh from her

She slowly slips into a slumber while you brush your fingers through her flawless hair, humming a sweet tune of an old elven song she taught you

Legolas

(AN: this is more book legolas than movie legolas)

It's like his entire spirit comes alive

You'll find him swinging on branches upside down, singing loud elven songs into the night and diving into streams

Can hardly keep up with his drunken shenanigans

Also finds everything hilarious, like say anything to him and he doesn't stop laughing for five minutes

When with other people, he tries to get you two alone

Whether bringing you back to a quieter room in the back of the tavern or taking you outside

He likes to have his alone chats with you when he's a little tipsy

Always checking if you're okay

Once he's checked on you like four separate times in one hour, you realise he's had a little too much

You take him home despite his protests

By the time you've made it home (with many side adventures of him hearing a bird and wanting to look at it or swearing that the trees are trying to fight him), he is exhausted

He crashes into bed next to you, tangling his legs with yours and wrapping himself around you
