Summery: 'Dull Erestor' has finally had enough. Crossover: Lotr/Hp. mentions of self harm and abuse. ONE SHOT drabble(ish).
Dull Erestor
The time has come.
You never thought I could loose my temper; I'm just dull Erestor, all work and no play. No expression, no emotion, isn't that right, Glorfindel?
The things you all do and say hurt, they humiliate me yet I bare it all with grace.
It's all gone too far.
I sometimes wonder, why the Valar let you be reborn, Glorfindel, you've made my life such a misery, and I've had to try so hard sometimes to stop me from fading. I even tried suicide a few times, before I realise that Arda was MY second chance for happiness too, and no one has the right to take that away from me.
But you have.
You use every opportunity to ask about the scar on my brow, the lightning bolt, and every time I say 'an accident' you ask if said accident stunted my growth, or it was just that my father was a dwarf, because NORMAL elves don't scar, and NORMAL elves aren't so short.
What about half-elves?
No one knows I'm a half-elf, and I get very tempted to hex you into oblivion and declare to the word just exactly who I am – was – in my previous life (not that anybody knows I had a previous life).
I know what they say, when they think I can't hear them, 'Erestor Elrond's chief advisor, you know, the one with the questionable origin and the weird scar on his head,' who knew elves liked to gossip?
I thought I'd gotten away from the whole 'boy-who-lived-and-killed-voldie-and-has-the-ligtning-bolt-scar' life, but now people stare at the damn thing because elves aren't supposed to have scars. I have far more impressive ones though, like the one where dear uncle Vernon carved 'freak' on my back for my 6th birthday.
Maybe I should show it to them. Maybe then they'd realise 'dull Erestor'isn't so dull after all….
