Galadriel stood in front of the ship with Gandalf, Elrond, Elrohir, Elladan, Frodo, Celeborn, Pippen, Merry, Arwen and Aragorn, Legolas, King Thranduil, Gimli and Haldir.

Galadriel looked at her March Warden who had downcast eyes. Legolas looked edgy for the third time today. He was leaving for Valinor, and she wasn't even here to see him off. He fumed, and then turned his eyes to an Elleth standing alone in the boat her head bowed. He sighed in frustration as his eyed misted.

Behind Celeborn the regally dressed March Warden, his eyes watering as he shifted his pack. He was leaving. He was really leaving to the West. Rumil and Orophin had left on the boat before his. He had lingered with a hope in his heart that was crushed, as he watched Legolas walk slowly onto the boat, not sure if he was crying because of the parting or for the damn Elleth that had turned both their calm lives upside down. Aragorn bowed to the Lady and embraced Frodo as he boarded. Next were Gandalf, followed by Celeborn, then Elrohir and Elladan, and finally Gimli. Thranduil jovially followed the dwarf, muttering how it was disgrace to have to share a boat with a dwarf.

The rider rode hard. Her breath was heavy and her horse was tired. She beat herself up for oversleeping. It was half a day's journey to the port that the last grey ship was leaving on. She wasn't going to make it. Her love would leave her and she would be the only elf left on Arda. No more ships were coming. It would take a year for her to even build a craft that would take her a year, and she would have faded before that. Her mind screamed at her for waiting so long. She burst into tears as she willed her horse to go faster. She shook tears from her eyes as she wanted to focus. She started to sing.

If I could find you now

Things would get better

We could leave this town

And run forever

I know some way some how we'll be together

Let your waves crash down on me

And take me away, yea

Haldir's put his pack on the ground. He watched through misted eyes as Legolas gave into grief and let tears overtake him. The elleth in the boat put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Slowly Haldir undid the braids in his hair and let it fall to its length. Nobody would see the March Warden cry. Nobody. He picked up his pack and went to the far side of the boat, and settled. Elrond boarded and then lastly Lady Galadriel herself. Aragorn smiled as he pulled the rope holding the boat, and stood back and the boat drifted towards the sun. Aragorn turned to his wife and wiped tears from her eyes. "Come stout hobbits, Come my love. It is time we returned to the city, and never forget our friends the Elves. Besides, Ellie will be waiting." They returned to their horses and Aragorn kissed Arwen deeply.

They began to ride away and then turned to watch the ship sail away. Arwen turned and kick her horse to a trot towards the city.

Just then a horse burst through the brush with a frantic rider. The rider jumped off with the horse in mid-step. She tumbled to the ground looked up at Arwen and then jumped back to her feet tears streaming from her eyes.

"Ellie, I am sorry they are gone." Arwen cried. Ellie came to the edge of the launch and looked off to see the ship. She could still make out the face of Galadriel. Ellie broke down of the dock and screamed so loud, the rejoicing elves in Valinor stood silent, and bowed their head at the sound. Arwen covered her ears and winced in pain.

Ellie looked up to see all the Elves in the boat, but one, looking at her. She stood up and called as loud as she could, "Haldir! Please don't leave me now!" She collapsed on the dock her head between her knees as she cried in pain.

Haldir stood up from the boat, as he heard the frantic shouts. He came to the side he heard the shouts from and his heart jumped as he saw his Lothamin crumpled up on the ground.

Haldir turned to look at his Lady, her smile gave him his answer, as he turned he winked at Legolas, and pulled his Crimson Red cloak closer about him, and bowed deeply to those on the ship. Legolas understood, smiled widely. "Good Luck Brother." He said as Haldir dived over and swam hard.

"Merry!!!!" Pippen squealed, "Look, Merry! He's swimming back!!"

"Shut up, Pippen. This is the part when they kiss!!" Merry hit Pippen over the head.

Ellie's tears subsided; she has not yet realized Haldir was in the water. She looked up, feeling that she had failed. Tears streaming down her face, she turned to Arwen who had one hand over her mouth, stifling her sobs and another over her heart. Aragorn looked at the elf on the ground. Her hair was in a sad state of disarray, but she looked up at the hobbits and managed to smile. If he hadn't watched Haldir jump into the water, and now pull himself up onto the dock, standing behind the unsuspecting elleth he would have been moved to tears as well. Merry grabbed Pippen in anticipation.

Ellie looked defeated as Haldir looked at his beloveds head. She threw her hands up in the air and let a fresh sob out, "I love him so much, I guess I was just too late." Arwen let out a wail as Aragorn laughed jovially. His laugh was joined by that of a wet elf. Ellie froze. She turned around, and instantly collapsed. Haldir was beside her in a minute. He caught her in his strong arms, and lifted her to a stand. Ellie was stunned to silence. She looked into piercing green eyes and then threw her arms around his neck. Haldir smiled at the ecstatic hobbits and kissed Ellie. When he finally broke the kiss, with a whimper of a protest from Ellie, he kissed her lips again and tapped her nose with a slender finger. "I love you, you crazy elf."

She smiled and allowed herself be turned towards the fading boat and in each other's arms finally, they waved their kin final goodbyes. They stood until their elven eyesight no longer permitted them to see their kin, and Haldir turned to Ellie with tears in his eyes. "They have gone to a better place. And when you are ready Lothamin, we to will pass into the Undying Lands."

"I thought you left." Ellie murmured into his hair. He gently pulled her away from him and looked into her eyes.

"I thought you decided to let me go." He smiled. He lead her to her horse and carried held her tight as she slept on their way back to the great city.

Merry and Pippen chatted animatedly, as Aragorn laughed at their jokes. Arwen rode beside Haldir speaking to him about the difference the elves have made in Arda.

Haldir stood on the dais wring his hands and pacing nervously. Aragorn sat on the stairs, lending on his elbows with a smile on his face watching his dear friend. He wished Legolas was here. Haldir began to pace again.

"My good Haldir, stop your pacing the beautiful maidens of our hearts will be out in a minute. Fear not my friend, for the ceremony is not the worst part." Haldir gave Aragorn a shocked look and began to pace faster. Aragorn let out a hearty laugh before Arwen entered and curtsied.

She puffed out her chest and smiled, "I announce to you the blush bride!!!" and she stepped aside as Ellie came into the room. She looked at Haldir, and blushed hard and turned to run out of the room, but Arwen sensed her attempt to flee and grabbed her by her hand and walked her right up to Haldir and pushed her into his arms. Haldir when to his her, but Aragorn cleared his throat.

"You cannot kiss the bride, Haldir, before the ceremony." Aragorn stated, before he held the hand of both of the elves in front of him. Arwen stood of to Ellie's left looking at the nervous couple.

"We are brought here today by the undying love of these two elves here before me." He looked around the throne room, (think the scene where Pippen is singing to Denethor, with an alter in the middle, and King Aragorn standing on the stairs looking at the two elves.) and spotted the only other occupant, Arwen, he winked at her, "Their bind love has brought them here today to be bound for eternity, to love each other and to care for one another. By the name of Iluvatar, name you husband and wife." He wrapped the lace around arm of Haldir and Ellie and nodded at Haldir.

Arwen clapped her hands together as mist filled her eyes.

Haldir turned to Ellie and looked into her eyes, tears threatened to fall, as Haldir turned her chin, and kissed her. His kiss was soft and loving, and was full of want and need. He broke the kiss and looked into the eyes of his wife. She nuzzled his cheek and held him tightly.

"Go now! Enjoy you wedding night! Tomorrow we celebrate!" Aragorn shooed the couple off to there chamber and turned to his wife. "You, there!" he said pointing at her.

"Me?" she asked innocently.

"Has anyone ever told you, you are the most beautiful elleth ever to grace me?" Arwen shyly nodded. "Good! Come here you!!!" Arwen squealed in delight as she ran out of the room and passed into the courtyard. Aragorn chasing her until he got her into the bedroom, once he got inside he let out a roar and locked the door. Arwen let one more squeal pierce the night air before her husband was on her.

Haldir stood in the bedchamber frozen. He watched as Ellie looked at the bed with fear. She looked at the bed and then him.

"You know this would be fun…. If we wanted it to be…" he whispered.

"I have never shared a bed with anyone." Ellie looked at Haldir stunned. "I m-mean I have but I haven't...well you know." She looked around nervously. Haldir eased and chuckled until tears came to his eyes.

"You, Lothamin are crazy. I love you. Damn she elf. I spend 3 years chasing you through Arda, from Lorien when you showed up on my doorstep to the hell hole of Sauron! We faced spiders and orcs together. We have shared swords, food, and orc blood!" He burst into a peel of laughter as he sat on the bed and began to remove his boots. He tossed them in the corner and stood up unbuttoning his tunic.

"Haldir! I swear!! If you take that off I will scream." Ellie said, jumpy.

Haldir pulled off his tunic, revealing a sculpted stomach, and arms. "Lothamin, 'tis nothing you have not seen before." He stepped towards her and opened his arms. As he stepped closer she flinched. He threw his head back and laughed; he picked her up and put her on the bed. She yelped and made to escape and he pulled her closer to him. He noticed that her breathing stopped, and he let go of her. He laid himself on the pillows on one side of the bed, letting the elleth get up and retreat to the corner of the bed. He looked up to the ceiling of the room and smiled to himself as the conversation he had with Aragorn returned to his mind. –'The ceremony is not the hardest part. My wedding night was the worst'. He laughed. 'It took me begging and pleading, and I promise her diamond rings and crown jewels, until she came out of the bathing room!!' he laughed harder and Haldir paled. 'But the little wench cant get enough...first time is always hardest.'-

Haldir looked over at his wife who had taken a sudden interest in the carpets. He sighed and rolled onto his side. He unlike Aragorn was not a King, nor a Prince, and could not promise his wife riches. He was the March Warden of Lorien. He sighed. -March Warden, no more Haldir- The Elves had sailed west, where they did not need a Warden. He looked at over at the reason he had stayed behind.

Her gown was a simple white that hung loosely about hips, but only tight around her top to loosely define curves. Her normally straight hair hung in loose waves about her circlet and dropped around her shoulders making beautiful patterns. Haldir looked away, he groaned as he sat himself up on the bed. –Sorry good friend- he thought as he looked down at the bulge in his leggings, threatening to rip through them. –Maybe some other time? - He laughed as Ellie noted his movements and shifted in the opposite direction. He smiled.

"You win Lothamin," he laughed as he stood up and walked to her and she took off over the bed. Haldir grabbed her by her foot and turned her over to face him. She looked at him, in surprise as he crawled over her and laid his head on her stomach. He turned his head to her.

"Do you not trust me?" He asked her.

"I do. I just fear want you would think of me." Was the answer, she gave.

He rolled over and lay on his back and pulled her close to him. "I would not think any less of you had you no arms and legs, Elainor." Was his answer before he shifted the pillow beneath him and closed his eyes.

Ellie shifted herself so that she was looking at the elf next to her. She watched as his chest rose and fell. He was her husband. She smiled. Envy of all the girls of Lorien.

She leaned over him and kissed him.

He felt her tense even more. He patiently waited for her to relax. Looking in her eyes, he saw a mixture of fear, confusion and pain. She squeezed her legs shut again. He groaned in pain.

"Sorry," he nodded and kissed her again. He was throbbing and sore. She had clasped down on him several times, and he began to think that he was approaching the squirming elleth the wrong way.

He shifted his weight off his throbbing member. "Ellie, I love you." He laughed as he thought of ways he can throttle her in her sleep.

He passionately kissed her again. He pulled her leg up over his back and continued to explore her mouth with his tongue. His hand remained on her leg as he let his other hand wander, lower and lower. She was soft, and moist and his member throbbed anger. He carefully hovered over her, as not to alarm her. Teasing and playing, he kissed her harder. He let his fingers slip inside one by one. –two fingers, that's enough-

She gasped in surprise and dug her nails into his shoulders. "Ha- Hal-dir…" she gasped again squirming. He waited until she relaxed again, and continue his quest.

Soon she had relaxed and was returning his passionate kisses. He released his hold on her and shifted her leg higher. She whimpered in protest and he smiled. She looked at him with hooded eyes as he slipped himself slowly inside of her. She bit her lip and shut her eyes tightly.

"No, relax Lothamin," he put his lips to her ear as he whispered sweet words to her. Soon she was relaxed and they both were fighting for breathe. The night passed in pillows begin shoved out of the way, sheets ripping to free tangled legs, sweat between skin on skin, as they explored new conquests. Stars shone brightly and trees sang (corny yes, but this is pg-13!!!) as the last elves of Arda, gave into their forbidden passions. Both reached their peaks at the same time, and all through Middle Earth creatures stopped momentarily as a whisper passed through the wind.

Ellie and Haldir's eyes met as he moaned, and she gasped, "Ai blessed Elbereth!!" He collapsed onto her breast tired and she gasped for breathe, looking to the window as Anor shone brightly.

"Melamin?"

"Yes, Ellie?"

"Its morning…" She turned over into his arms as he looked outside.

They fell asleep in each other's arms.

A/N: Not done…. Few more, bear with me.
