If you need a smile (for example, IF YOU HAVE BEEN CRYING YOUR HEART OUT OVER A CERTAIN MUSICAL, PRAPS) then here we are: have some epic sweetness and cuteness galore!

Legolas makes a game of hiding flowers in Gimli’s hair, in between the rings of his chain mail, anywhere and everywhere he can. When Gimli doesn’t catch him, he wears them all day without realizing, and everyone stares. Aragorn attempts to moderate Urgently Important Meetings with various Gondorian advisers about the reconstruction of the Gate while keeping a straight face even though Gimli is yelling oaths at some idiot alderman while wearing a crown of buttercups.

omg i love it

especially scandalous was the day that Legolas threaded bluebells into Gimli’s beard.

The two long full plaits were exactly as they had appeared for decades, with nary a sign to show that someone else had twined them. But these tiny telltale flowers meant that someone had put their presumptuous elvish fingers upon Gimli’s beard.

!!!!?! *insert Dwarvish spluttering*

And so, this begged the question: for how long had this been going on, with no one the wiser??? 

Meanwhile, Gimli carried on with blithe unconcern, his first concern the work as always. And if Legolas hid a smile when he caught a glimpse of the winking, nodding blue tucked into that wealth of fire-red, and if he glowed with secret joy when he saw how Gimli bore his bluebells with quiet dignity and pride, well. 

Elves have their own ways, after all.
