A/N-long, sorry Okay guys, from now on, I don't stray from cannon, lol, too many people ask you why you do. For EriolSirian, don't worry, you're not the first to inquire about Aragorn and Éowyn ;) and I don't blame you for wondering. This is a mixture of book and movie cannon I suppose considering things from the films like the Evenstar pendant are mentioned. There is something I should probably have clarified from the beginning for everyone. Yes, I have read the books, including "The Hobbit" (and the appendices) and seen all three movies. I know where I'm going with this. For something I have coming up, Elwyn could not have any Elvish blood, even if she would be technically mortal with Arwen as her mother.

Someone suggested in an email that I could have had Arwen actually become mortal (which was never clarified in the appendix regarding Aragorn and Arwen and their children) when she agreed to marry Aragorn and this might have worked and I'll remember that if I ever repost this or something and probably change it. Eventually, you will find out why Elwyn could not have Elvish blood, but it gives away the ending, so I can't. As far as Eldarion and their daughters, considering they are Arwen's children, though I knew about them, I did not include them.

I hope something as small as this Éowyn thing is not keeping anyone from enjoying the story, since it's a rather minute detail in this plot which focuses on Legolas and Elwyn.  If it makes everyone feel better, I'm not the type to not research something before I write it, lol. Otherwise I wouldn't take the time to insert the Elvish and other tiring details in this story.

However, thanks to everyone who asked about this, because it probably should have been explained first thing and labeled a slight AU!

Now, that being said, finally, on with the story!!

Legolas

I must have been either dreaming or delirious. I could have sworn Elwyn was there, sitting by my side.

"Legolas."

Eru, I could even hear her sweet voice.

"Melamin," (my love) I heard her whisper, right in my ear this time. I groaned and attempted to open my eyes, surprised when they actually cooperated.

"Elwyn…" I managed. I felt her dab a damp cloth against my forehead.

"He's been calling out for you most of the night," I heard a voice comment and it took me some time to recognize it as Aragorn's.

"His fever has broken," she informed him.

"The herbs will soon begin to reverse the effects of the poison," I heard him tell her. "It's the wound that is concerning me."

"Envinyata will be here soon to tend it," she assured him, leaning over me to dip the rag in a bowl of cool water. "Until then, I'll…do what I can with what I know."

As if on cue at the mention of the healer's name, horses could be heard trampling the ground just outside the tent, then someone's voice speaking in clear and fluent Elvish. It was only then that I remembered, even in my dazed state, that Envinyata was from Lothlórien and probably didn't speak much of the Common language, never having ventured far from the Golden Wood before being called to serve Elessar. And knowing Faramir, who, aside from his brother, was the proudest I'd ever met about his mortal heritage, I was sure he did not speak Elvish.

"And you?" I heard Aragorn's voice again directed at his daughter. "How are you?"

"Well enough," she replied, both of them confusing me with the sudden change of conversation. "Certainly better than most in the camp. Go. I will see to him."

It wasn't long after that my mind finally registered that Aragorn had slipped outside-most likely to translate for the healer and the captain.

"Elwyn," I began, squinting at her in the dim firelight. "What…?"

"Shhh," she cooed, placing her hand on my cheek. It was surprisingly cool; I must have been warmer than I initially thought. "Rest melamin." (my love-do you really need these translated twice when they're so close together? lol) She brushed her lips against mine and I immediately raised my head to return the kiss. She pulled away then and leaned her forehead against mine.

"Are you really here?" I asked, disbelieving.

She smiled softly. "Try not to talk," she instructed.

I allowed my eyes to slip shut, despite my growing fear that she would not be there when I awoke if I fell asleep.

"I'll be here," she said as if she could read my thoughts, placing kisses across my face from my ear back to my lips. "Sleep," she urged.

I was somewhat aware of Envinyata entering before I finally did drift off.

Short, I know, especially after that long A/N, but there's another longer one coming after this.
