Summary:

“Please,” he says, making a fist in crude linen, pulling Gimli closer, dizzy with the scent of his sweat, his skin, his dirt. His mouth floods, and he must swallow it before it continues. “Why do you not allow me to touch you as you touch me?”

So this is… hot. And sweaty. And… erm, kind of very physical, if you know what I mean. But the prose is beautifully descriptive, and even at its most blatant, very much in touch with the emotional undercurrent of the piece. Also the whole thing is really rather sweet when they actually manage to talk instead of focusing on the other thing.

In other words, this is simply the sort of over-the-top smutfic I’m too self-conscious to write, but occasionally enjoy reading, and I'm more than happy to spread the joy.
