A/N: Drabble written for a "fireworks" challenge, and set at the end of the Ringwar.

And I, said Legolas, shall walk in the woods of this fair land, which is rest enough.
[The Return of the King, "The Field of Cormallen"]

They rested together near the top of a tree that night, once their festivities were done, Legolas cradled by the boughs, and Aragorn cradled by Legolas.

"I am beginning to believe it at last," said Aragorn in a low voice. "The sky is so clear. The very air thrums with gladness. The Shadow is gone, love, it is truly gone!"

"All of Arda is celebrating, man and beast, tree and stone," replied the Elf.

As they watched, there came a glorious burst of bright meteors, filling the dark sky with their silent fire.

"Look," whispered Legolas, awed. "The Valar's fireworks!"
