Fallen
By: LadyErestor83
holy crap...a half hour to think of a freaking title?! ahem sorry...
pairing: Celeborn/Haldir
mentioned pairings: Rumil/OC (Andro) and Orophin/OC (Hadereth)
OC list: Andro, Hadereth, Brethiel, and Baethoriel
disclaimer: I only own the OC's, the title, and myself...besides that, nope :(
Note: Andro and Hadereth are not bad elves this time around...well, they have a semi-cruel past, but not as bad as I usually make them...Also, the original title I was going to use for this fic was: Someone's Watching Over Me...yes as in the Hilary Duff song...let me know if I should change it...
Fallen is a versed song I wrote awhile back and this fic focuses on two lines from it:
yes I've fallen
but catch me before I fall into the darkness
summary: Both Celeborn and Haldir have painful pasts, the only difference is Celeborn has had centuries to deal while Haldir has only had a few years and has lied to everyone he cares for about it, including Celeborn...What happens when Haldir finally tells the truth?
CHAPTER 1
Haldir walked through the golden wood, alone for the first time in what seemed like ages. His brothers normally accompanied him, but he was glad that they were both staying with their mates this time and would not follow him. He continued his walk, hoping that he would not bump into anyone, knowing that if he did, it might mean he was needed somewhere. Haldir stopped walking when he realized where his walk had actually taken him, the royal talan. He nearly scoffed. Why was it whenever he wanted to be alone that he always ended up here? He sighed. Perhaps it was not so bad for he did enjoy the Lord of Lorien's company, but he always wondered if Celeborn enjoyed his. Haldir leaned on the tree. His eyes began to cloud with tears. If only his Lord would love him as he loved him, perhaps his shame would go away. He scoffed at himself. He had a troubled past and he lied to all about it. Whenever he was asked about what had happened between him and his former lover, he would just say they broke apart mutually. He never wanted to speak the truth of it to anyone, not his brothers, their husbands, and especially not Celeborn. Haldir wiped his eyes furiously. He would go on as he always did. He would fake his smiles and make all around him happy. There was no use for tears, especially when he was the only one who knew why he shed them. Haldir composed himself and began to climb the stairs of the royal talan. As he neared closer to the door, a thought came to his mind. One day I will tell him.
