Author's note. Well it seems that I have found my voice again for LotR
Fic. This promises to be sad, angst and have a surprising twist at the
end. This contains HOMOSEXUAL content do not read if you do not like. It
is an A/L with a twist.
Enjoy.

Haldir was walking through the woods in spring thinking on the orders that he had been given.
He knew why the Lady of the Wood had chosen him, but he did not know why she wanted him to kill the elf. She told him that this elf was guilty of an unforgivable crime.
However, she would not say what the crime was. He was also told to kill with out using a weapon less it leave a trace of who used it.
It was not like elves to kill their own kind; even high treason was not punishable by death.
What could this elf have done?
Haldir felt uneasy in his task but he was a guardian of Lórien and it was his station in life to do as the Lady asked.
But now the question was how?
Elves cannot die of poison and the Lady said not to use a weapon.
The only other way to kill an elf is through great emotional pain; loss of a loved one and the grief that followed could kill with out a trace.
Haldir did know if this elf had someone who was that dear to him.
Perhaps he should watch the condemned man, maybe he would give the guardian a clue, not only to the elf's crimes but also to whom his heart might fancy.

The sun had just come up but the company had been on the move for two hours already.
They had just crossed the last stream that would lead them in to Lórien.
Legolas and Strider where in the front of the party followed by two of the hobbits, Sam and Frodo, next was Gimli and them the next two hobbits, Marry and Pippin, and at the rear of the company was Boromir.
"Watch your step little ones." Strider called out to the hobbits as they crossed what looked like a river to them. "The stream is swift and cold" he crossed the stream, followed by Legolas.
The two of them helped to hobbits across and then Gimli.
Boromir seemed to not need or want help.
As every one got across Sam approached the two.
"Can we stop here for a short rest?" Sam asked Strider and Legolas who were now standing together discussing the road ahead and that they should be in Lórien by nightfall.
"Frodo needs a brake, and all the hobbits are tired" Legolas said quietly to the rugged weather worn man at his side. " We are close enough to the wood that we could risk a rest."
"I agree Legolas, we can sit here for a while." The ranger answered Sam
Sighs of relief came from the company as they set their packs on the ground and spread out their cloaks to sit on.
Boromir was the first of the party to notice that the elf and the human were gone.
This did not surprise him in fact it had become almost commonplace for the new couple to steel away for sometime to themselves.
"Well it looks like our leader and Legolas are getting some scouting done." He smiled at the rest of the company.
They knew what he meant none of the company should go looking for them, or they might find what Gimli did a week ago.

*Flashback*
"Where's the elf got off to it's his watch first?" Gimli grumbled as they started to make camp
"He said something about finding some place to cool off and get clean before we reach the Wood." Boromir said flatly. He pulled out an apple from his bag and started eating it.
"I am going after some firewood Aragorn. I will be back soon" Gimli stated "Aragorn… great now he is gone too."
"Maybe they are bathing together." Marry laughed
"I doubt that my young friend. Most grown men do not bathe with others around." Boromir said as he wiped the apple juice from the eating knife he was using.
"Well I gong to find out." Gimli grabbed his ax " they should not wander away with out telling us. What if someone got hurt?" and headed over the last hill they had crossed toward the last stream they had encountered.
"Legolas… Aragorn…"Gimli called but no answer came.
He looked for them for half an hour or more when he finally heard Legolas' voice
He thought that he heard it anyway. However, it was much more high pitched and it sounded like he was gasping for air.
Gimli thought that his friends were hurt ran to the sound of the voices.
When he reached the pair he saw what was causing Legolas *discomfort*
"Be quite you or the whole fellowship will know what we are doing." Aragorn cooed at him from behind. He gently pushed in to his lover's hips.
"Not that I care if the whole of Middle Earth hears us love, but this is not exactly a dignified position for a prince to be in" he joked as he gently began to rock in to Legolas body causing the elf to moan.
"You said it would only hurt a little" Legolas moaned jokingly over his shoulder to Aragorn "you lied!"
"You want me to stop?" Aragon asked as he pulled away from Legolas' body.
"NO" Legolas practically yelled as he pushed himself back on to his new found lover.
That was all dwarf needed to see he went running back to camp and unable to keep his jaw closed; when he got there he blurted out what he had just seen.
"Well from now on then we need to accept that they are going to need Time with out us sneaking up on them, Right Gimli?" Boromir asked with a smile directed at the dwarf.
The dwarf was not paying him any heed; he pulled out a large wine skin and tried to rinse the sight of the man and the elf out of his mind.
*End Flashback*
__________________________________________________________
After that night Aragorn and Legolas were inseparable, and something else that the companions noted Aragorn had removed the Evenstar necklace.
They tried to hide their relationship from the rest of the group until Frodo blurted out that they knew and just how it was that, they knew.
Gimli spent that nigh in his wineskin as well
However the fellowship was not who the pair needed to fear that day.
For the lovers where not alone that day in the clearing they had fond.
A single pair of elven eyes where watching them.
Moreover, finally Haldir had his clue.
