Paring: Eomer/Theodred

Rating: G now...
A/N: Parts 1 and 2 of 6 parts. :D
ETA:Also as pointed out, this is Movie!canon, as apparently Theodred is older than Eomer in the books. And he's not here. So. :D


Cousin
Eomer is ten when their fathers introduce them, and Theodred is eight. His face is still young and still almost feminine, Eomer thinks. He feels his father’s hand on his shoulder, pushing him towards the younger boy.

“Theodred is your cousin. It is our hope that you will be friends,” his father says to him, and he nods slightly. He smiles for the other boy, and Theodred smiles back, his smile that of a frightened young boy, and then fades, slightly. Eomer’s own smile widens, and Eomer knows that he will bring that smile back.

“Hello,” he says. And the smile blooms again.

“Hello.”

And that’s all there is to it.

Friend
"What happened?"

"Well, I--"

"Eomer, what happened?" Theoden looks down at Eomer who is cradling an unconscious Theodred in his arms. The younger boy's arm is swollen, and his face is smudged with dirt.

"We were climbing on the roofs, my lord," Eomer answers at last, as he shifts Theodred slightly.

Later, after Theodred's arm has been splinted and he is sleeping, Theoden comes to Eomer as he's siting next to his sleeping cousin.

"Why were you climbing on the roofs?"

It is some time before Eomer answers.

"Because it's the best view of the herds," he says softly, eyes not leaving Theodred's face.

And Theoden knows it was Eomer who told his son that. The two have been inseparable since the day they met. But he smiles all the same, and leaves the room. He's long gone when Eomer breaks the silence again.

"My fault... Never again. Never again, my fault... I swear it..."

Glad you like!!

*blushes* I read the intro as Eomer/Theoden. I'm going straight to hell aren't I, uncle?!

But that aside, I loved it. The idea of the two as little kids in Edoras, growing up together and running amuck. Eowyn watching from the darkness- but that's another story ;)

I digress. Great story.

Lol. That, I would not write. I am firmly in belief of, as icky as it is, Thoeden and Denethor... Don't ask me to explain, I couldn't do it...

And there is more to come!! It's a six part story... I cannot believe I forgot to put that small detail in there... Stoopid Sky...

And yes... Eoywn... Don't you worry, she'll be there... XD That's exactly how I saw it... watching from the shadows. Exactly. :D

Hmmm so we have Denethor/Theoden fic coming up?? It seems that shipping men is the new black! Not hobbits anymore ;)

Eowyn, the little perve.. I guess that's what happens when there's no potential femmeslash in the story!

Won't somebody *please* write Theoden/Eomer?

on 2004-01-13 04:27 am (UTC)
Posted by [identity profile] cerulean-sky.livejournal.com
Yup! No more hobbits! (Never really shipped any of them anyway... I was too obsessed with my sexy elf boy... ^^ )

And no. There is no one for Eowyn. She should just go away and lead a happy life. Alone. Because she can't have anyone. Because I say so.

And yes, or some really weird reason, I have a problem with her. I dunno why.

And don't ask that of me. Just... no.

This is cute. I take it you're writing movie!canon, ja?

Yeah... You know... The massacre at the fords... Eomer's first thought? "...Theodred... FIND THE KING'S SON!" It's so there... XD

*hehe* PJ made those movies a slash-lovers delight! :)

I was actually asking because in this fic you've made Theodred the younger - as the movies would imply, whereas in the book he is considerably older than his cousins. :)

...

He is?

Never read the book, so I wouldn't know. (Pleasedon'tkillme!)

Hm... Yeah, definately movie!canon... Though... it is because of those looks and all... XD And that as I said... never read... Yeah... ^^;;

Indeed he is. But dun worry, I am not going to jump on you and beat you to death with my copy. :) I dun think it's the end of the world if people want to write fanfic and haven't read the book. *shrugs* It's nice if they have, but, like I said, not the end of the world if they haven't! :)

Maybe just put in the disclaimer or something that it's movie!canon? That way people won't go "Eh?" You don't have to say you haven't read the book or anything... ;)

Hm... Yeah, definately movie!canon... Though... it is because of those looks and all... XD And that as I said... never read... Yeah... ^^;;

*snickers* Lots of things have been made slashy because of movie!canon looks!!!

You know... I just might do that... Don't want people to kill me, as that, that would be bad. :D

Yeah, I am going to read the book... But like, there needs to be more hours in a day.

And I know. >.> Not like, I find all those looks and get people to write about them or anything... I mean... Um... ^^;;

Very bad! *nods*

I hear ya. I've sent in a letter to Father Time for some more hours to be added to the night [because if it were day people would try and make us work or be educated for longer and that would be A Bad Thing], but he hasn't yet written back. Damn him! *shakes fisties*

And I know. >.> Not like, I find all those looks and get people to write about them or anything... I mean... Um... ^^;;

*hehe* Don't worry... I, uh, don't do that either. Or, y'know, do it myself... *hides current fic she's working on* *wanders off whistling innocently*


Mmm... Andy Serkis...

Oh, and thank you... Because... uh... I haven't had time to write Fater Time a letter... -_-;;

Yes... Those looks... So many of those looks... :D :D

I HAVE ANDY SERKIS'S AUTOGRAPH.

Lovely. Being the world's Number One Fan of the present tense, I find it even more lovely than is probably accepted as normal. Your style is excellent, and comprehensible, and you aproach the subject of two cousins who will eventually be buggering each other falling off a roof with sensitivity. Before this degenerates into a lot of me saying "wah!" and "squee!" I will point out that I eagerly await parts 3-6...

Wah.

Squee.

Awww... Yes. Thank you. So much. I am so glad you liked. :D :D :D I was kinda afraid people would kill me for it, but seeing as people aren't doing that, I am very happy! Again, thank you!!

I like it. It's not a pairing you see much about, even though I could very easily picture it XD

I await the next bit!
