Relationships: Fíli/Ori
Characters: Fíli, Ori - Character
Additional Tags: Prompt suggestions, Tumblr, Fluff

Summary:

Fíli's hungover enough not to notice that the pile of laundry in his armchair is actually not a pile of laundry for a few minutes.

---

Pure, unadulterated, escapist fluff.

Or: the meet-cute where a drunk Ori can climb in through a window without a sound but not tell left from right, and Fili has a cute cat, an unexpected (but increasingly welcome) visitor, and oodles and oodles of flirt.

To be honest, this rec is chiefly me being nostalgic, because this piece (by one of my all-time favourite authors!) showcases precisely the sort of dynamic that drew me to the ship in the first place. I hope you’ll enjoy it as well!!

A new Gimli/Legolas short!

So I read an article about all the strange things people had had removed from various orifices last year... and it gave me a meet-cute setting XD

This thing is short, silly, and kind of fluffy - and also my first proper Modern AU story for these two, I hope you like it!
