Hi, I love your works. This is the first ask I've ever done so sorry if I do something wrong. Could you perhaps write some dad!elrond. Either with reader as his partner or his child? Also if you could make it a younger child? Maybe child or toddler?

Hope your day is going great.

Hey love!!! You caught me on the right day! I've got some free time at work, so I thought I'd get this Dad!Elrond headcanon out for you!

I hope you have a wonderful day as well! Thanks for requesting!!!!

Dad!Elrond Headcanons

So, of course we know he’s a good dad, we see that in the movies and later books, but we’re talking about young Elrond, Mr. I overwork myself until I fall asleep standing up.

He’s not opposed to children, in fact he thinks they’re precious and should be treasured, but he hasn’t given much thought to them at this point in his life.

Then he meets you, falls in love, and boom a child. A little baby girl with your eyes and his hair. She’s a happy baby who laughs at everything and is just so curious about the world around her.

At first Elrond is overly cautious, he’s afraid to accidentally harm her, or make her cry. But this doesn’t mean he’s not trying to be the best father he can be. He’s writing Durin and Disa for advice, stopping random parents on the street and asking them questions, he’s reading books and consulting with healers if your daughter’s forehead even feels slightly warm.

But he’s so nervous, so he’s a little…almost formal? with her. Not cold, but stiff. You spend most of your time with her and Elrond takes over the household chores, making sure you have nothing to worry about and can focus on your adorable child.

Then comes the first time he's left alone for more than an hour or so with her. You’d reassured him that everything would be fine, and that you were just a few streets down at your parents' house if he needed anything.

Elrond definitely sits across from your daughter and just stares at her, trying to figure out the best way to entertain her. She stares back, and then she starts giggling, and reaching for him, and his heart just melts. He scoops her up, and she grabs at his face, her big eyes just like yours. He’s obsessed, even more obsessed when her first word, which you were so upset you missed, was “ada.”

After that he takes her everywhere with him, to deliver speeches, to run errands, to visit the High-King, or Galadriel, your daughter, is always with him, waving to people as they pass by.

You rarely see one without the other, and everyone thinks it’s the cutest thing they’ve ever seen. He calls her his “little starling” and refers to you both as his “starlight, and starling, the greatest joys of his life.”

You actually have to stop him from climbing up in his writing tree with her, reminding him she can’t catch herself. He then decides to strap her to him so that she can’t fall. Which you still have worries about.

And your baby girl? She’s a daddy girl, has him wrapped around her little finger. Anything she wants, she gets. Sweets? Of course, anything for his little starling. A new toy all the way from Khazad-dûm? He’s already writing Durin and asking him to make two in case the first one gets broken. Affection? Please, Elrond never put your daughter down.

She’s spoiled rotten, but still remains the sweetest and most well-behaved child. She can sit quietly for hours as Elrond writes, and she loves to go to the market with you, babbling as you inspect different products, and produce.

All in all, Elrond is a supportive and attentive father who adores his daughter and would do anything for her.

We really have to see the fatherly relationship with the OC or the Reader. Just saying "Elrond was her father" or "Elrond was like a father to her" is not enough!

No Crossovers!

I will read every suggestion before adding it, so don't worry if it doesn't appear immediately. :)

Elrond's little one

Elrond ft M!Reader as his son

Description: Elrond goes Papa mode on Boromir, who should definitely know better

Tw: None

-----------------------------------------------

"Well aren't you a little one, the ears say Elf but the height says Hobbit" Boromir teases You as he ruffles Your hair with a grin. You knew Boromir, his visits were anything but consistent. Lindir would have to remind You to bow to the Prince of Gondor "Where's your father?" He lowers himself to Your tiny stature, now eye level with the Prince of Gondor You giggled "Where is he (Y/n)?" Boromir asks again "I'll never tell you" "Ahhh I see, well okay then" he lowers his head and starts to fake cry "No, No, Boromir don't do that!" You whine pushing his head up but his hair covers his face "Don't cry, don't cry" You say quickly before hugging his arm tightly "Thanks for the hug" Boromir picks You up and You crawl Your way to his shoulders "Will I be this tall one day?" "Taller than me? Bah" Boromir was making sure the coast was clear before continuing to walk out of Rivendell with You comfortably on his shoulders.

"So...do you have a nice Princess back in Gondor?" You ask tugging on the left side of Boromir's hair making him turn "Ah haha..." "Or does your stinky guard follow you too much" That one sentence made Boromir go silent quickly "Oooo! You like him!" You snicker feeling Boromir shift "So are you going to grow your hair as long as your Father's?" He changed the subject "Yes! Because I'm going to be wise just like him or even more wise!" You grin and then heard an all too familiar sentence "What are you two doing?" It was your father at this moment You were practically eye level with him and that scared, Your father had never yelled at You but You were not ready to break that streak "LordElrond" Boromir blurt out, his sentence blended as he put You down and as if Boromir had you against Your will, You bolted to Elrond's side wrapping your arms around his arm as You did a small smile appeared for a few seconds but once he looked back at Boromir it was gone...

"You know better than to take him out here without guards" Elrond's voice was firm but calm "I know but, I just" Boromir couldn't seem to make a full sentence "I tell you every time you visit, do not take (Y/n) past the gates he isn't old enough yet and you still do not listen" Elrond put his free hand in his hip "Boromir, I trusted you with something very dear to me and once again...you failed...again" it hurt Your father to say these words to Boromir as words are so powerful they can become wounds "I'm sorry Lord Elrond" Boromir lowers his head "Wayland and I will leave next morning" he murmurs sniffling a little "No!" You tugged at Your father's arm "That's not fair! He didn't do anything wrong! He's my brother!" Your words made Elrond look You dead in the eyes and kneel to Your height "(Y/n)...I know it's difficult but if he can't follow the rules I lay out he has to go home" his tone was softer with You but still firm "He'll come to visit once again you will see him again, right" Elrond's head snapped to Boromir, who looked up quick and nodded even quicker "See" "But...I...but" "There's no buts (Y/n)" Elrond looks back at You "He'll be back before you know it" "Promise" "(Y/n)..." "Lindir says a promise isn't a promise unless you say it out loud" You whisper looking down "I promise that Boromir, Son of Denethor can come back and with supervision watch over you while I have my meetings" Elrond smiles "Now go back inside" he stood up and You ran back in as Boromir now stood next to Elrond

"No one got hurt" "That's not the point" Elrond normally man of little violence in his old age smacked the back of Boromir's head "Ow, What was that for?" "You'll understand when you have a child"

Silmarillion concept that has me gnawing on the bars of my enclosure today: all of Elrond's parents are terrifying eldritch beings actually.

Maedhros, with white fire pouring from his eyes, taken from the jaws of death anything but unchanged. Some whisper that he's not elvish anymore, not since his captivity. They can never quite agree on what that makes him, exactly.

Maglor, with a voice no elf ever should've had, beautiful and terrible and powerful enough to shake the mountains. Sailors along Middle-Earth's west coast whisper of a sea wraith, some horrible siren that roams the beaches on the darkest nights.

Earendil, a man made an elf, a star, a maia if some are to be believed. Slayer of dragons, guardian of the void. Someone who's spent so along around the Silmaril and the Ainur that some of that power lives within him now.

Elwing, a skin-changer with a voice and a laugh that sound like they were taken from a bird's throat. A witch who lives in a lighthouse, where the animals flock and the plants grow strangely. None of the Amanyar would admit to being scared of her, but few will venture in sight of her odd little realm.

And then there's Elrond, ring-bearer, Lord of Rivendell, kind as a summer.

Well, let's just say it probably helps that no one is expecting him to be normal. Or elvish. Or entirely comprehensible.

when celebrian meets maglor she's openly furious with him and everyone assumes it's for a kinslaying/kidnapping related reason

except elrond, mortified, who knows it's because maglor made the mistake of teaching him the noldor equivalent of "the song that never ends" at age 8 as a way to annoy maedhros and elrond made the mistake of teaching it to his sons

you have not known suffering until you have experienced the world's most overexcited peredhil twins shout-singing at the top of their lungs at 3 AM refusing to go to bed

celebrian is willing to forgive a lot but some crimes are unforgivable

Here are my paintings for this year’s @tolkienrsb! The first one is my initial submission; the rest were extra paintings for my lovely author, TheChasm <333

I’ll be adding the promo post for the fic sometime soon, so I won’t mention what these paintings are about quite yet. I think y’all will be able to guess, in any case! XDD

Maglor at the Heavens of Sirion, "meeting" elrond and elros.

(((@maellor )))

For the pose prompt: kidnap fam making a snowelf? That'd be so cute!

Here they are!!! Mae and Mags obvs do not need to be wearing gloves or cloaks, but the twins would refuse to wear their mittens and coats otherwise so they have to be good examples.

This was so fun and outrageously cute. Thank you for sending it in Jaz!!!!

Lullaby for little (goblin, as some say) Arwen ✨

“We spoke a lot about his parentage. He’s sort of an orphan, and there are unhealed wounds that exist within him. Elrond is part-human, and his brother Elros, who chose to be human and eventually founded Númenor, were raised by their captor as children. I liked the showrunners’ ability to collaborate with that, because it became important to me that he’s an orphan and that he doesn’t belong here or there. I’d gained such passion for Eärendil and Elwing, Elrond’s parents, who appear in the Silmarillion, everything they’d achieved. It’s a lot to live up to for him!”

- Robert Aramayo on Elrond

You know what would really kill you with either tears or laughter?

All those “Unhealthy Kidnap Dads” fics but with M&M surviving via Divine Peredhel Intervention. So now M&M, who are codependently attached to each other in despair and love in equal measure, have to live confined in an apartment or something within Lindon.

And of course, the elves have to keep an eye on The Kinslayers™️, right? And Gil-Galad is demanding at least a status report once a week about The Kinslayers™️

Anyway so M&M, as is their way, are still doing their unhealthy bullshit to each other and the Lindon Elves are slowly but surely starting to intervene whenever a despairing Maedhros snarls at a hopeful Maglor, or an angry Maglor throws a wine glass at a solemn Maedhros.

Eventually, the Lindon Elves are straight up like “We need an actual mental health professional before we put these two grown-ass elves in time-out”.

And Gil-Galad, of course, is being harassed daily by Elrond about the difference between Sickness and Evil, until he just grants Elrond’s request for a mind healer (or the closest thing they have to one at the time).

Anyway, the summarized concept of this is that M&M makes the Lindon Elves see them as people not because they wish to die, but because they so obviously live in despair.

Elrond thinking Wayland is up to no good but really Wayland is just breathing

Legolas is the hell child

Boromir used to get into fight a lot and when Elrond had business with Denethor, he'd visit Boromir and make sure the young Prince was okay

Maitimo has visions, up on the mountainside. (At least, he'd like to think they're visions, and not hallucinations or figments of his scattered mind). He sees wide open plains, covered with spring flowers. Green forests full of birdsong, clear mountain rivers. Two children– who can only be his– with his gray eyes and proud, Finwean features, who follow him around like little ducklings.

Those visions are what keep him from succumbing to despair, during the long, cold nights on the cliffs. The idea that one day, he will be free again, that he'll roam Middle-Earth, that he'll have a family and children like he's always wanted to. That's enough for him.

He holds onto that hope, over the long years of his recovery, and the as the Long Peace grinds on, he really believes that things will get better. That he'll be able to fulfill the Oath, cast off the Doom of the Noldor, and live happily in the free lands of Middle-Earth.

And then the Bragollach happens, and the Nirnaeth, and the Second Kinslaying. And it dawns on Maedhros, slowly, and then all at once, that there is no way out for him. That there was never a way out for him. That the visions on the cliffside were never real and neither was his hope. After that, the only thing still dragging Maedhros on is the relentless pull of the Oath.

And then, after Sirion, Maedhros looks through Elwing's tower, searching vainly for the Silmaril. He doesn't find it. He does find two small children with dark hair, gray eyes, and their father's Finwean features. He recognizes them. He's not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Elrond and Celebrian, how I love them~
