Notes: You might want to read my other fic The Perfect Match, to find out more about Legolas and Lady Caladrim. Don't be afraid to review! This is AU. There was no ring. Eowyn's uncle is still King of Rohan and she is visiting Gondor for a little while. Arwen is still married to Aragorn.
Summary: Lady Galadriel, Arwen, and Lady Caladrim (Legolas's wife) are fed up with their husbands. Lord Celeborn played with Galadriel's mirror, putting his feet in it and giggling. King Aragorn seems to have given up on Arwen now that she isn't an elf and seems to be in Eowyn's company more often than not. Prince Legolas is constantly traveling for his own kingdom and when Lady Caladrim (his wife) tried to help, he wouldn't let her!

Revenge Can Be Very Sweet
Chapter 3
The Plan is in Action
"Ladies, this is my idea." All three women leaned forward eagerly in order to hear better. They were all so close, in fact, that Elrond had to push his chair backwards so that he wasn't overpowered by the smell of their perfume.
"I think that jealousy is a key factor in it. We all know that your husbands love you-" a few looks were traded between the women, "maybe they just have problems showing it to you." A few more looks were given but all three stayed silent.
"Prove it." Arwen stated, looking less than thrilled at how "the plan" was progressing. Lord Elrond looked slightly irritated.
"Now," he continued, oblivious- or choosing to overlook- Arwen's earlier statement, "what you need to do is to make them jealous. So insanely jealous, that no other possible thought enters their mind but to make you theirs again." Lord Elrond finished his statement.
"But, how?" Caladrim had the nerve to ask.
"How else? Flirt with someone else. Lady Galadriel," he said, addressing her for the first time, "you should completely ignore your husband. If he asks you a question, refuse to answer it. Simply look away. If someone else asks you the same question, answer it. Be as friendly as you'd like." Elrond took a deep breath.
"Daughter," he continued, talking to Arwen, "your husband is often seen with Eowyn, right?" Arwen nodded and Lord Elrond continued. "The Steward of Gondor is in love with Eowyn."
"Faramir?" Arwen gasped. She had spent a lot of her time in the White City trying to find out who had captured the young Steward's heart.
"I think," said Elrond, "that being seen with Faramir with accomplish two things at once." Upon seeing Arwen's blank look, he said, "You will get Aragorn and Faramir will get Eowyn."
"Lady Caladrim, your husband, as you told us, travels around a lot. Why don't you travel around a lot, just to let him see what it feels like. And," he continued, "if that doesn't work, maybe you should be seen with Glorfindel often. Nothing like loneliness to fuel the fire of jealousy."
As Elrond finished, the women gathered in a circle, blocking him out.
"You were right!" Arwen exclaimed. "Ada was a perfect choice to go to for advice!" Galadriel allowed herself a rather unladylike smirk to play upon her lips. Princess Caladrim frowned.
"What's wrong?" Galadriel asked, concerned.
"I don't want to be seen with Glorfindel. When Legolas is jealous………it's scary."
"You're not telling me that you're scared of your husband are you?" Arwen exclaimed, shocked. She had heard of Legolas's temper, but had never seen it herself.
"One day, when he was courting me, an elf of Rivendell came to Mirkwood. I was there, of course, and this elf and I, had once been………close. Not anymore, of course, but he seemed to think so. Well, one day I was by myself in a garden, Legolas was coming to meet me there, and this elf tried to kiss me. Legolas came in at that point and, well, ………that elf went home to Mirkwood that very day."
Arwen clasped a hand over her mouth in shock. "He's worse than I thought." she said, in awe of Legolas's temper.
"Well, that side of him isn't seen very often, but when it is………" Caladrim sighed to herself.
"So, is Elrond's plan good?" Galadriel questioned.
Caladrim reluctantly said yes and Arwen jumped for joy.
"Plan Jealousy is in motion ladies………" Arwen grinned.
