In His Dream - a Frodo Dyad (Ficlet)

[serai]

My Muse is back, it seems. The first half of this happened a couple of weeks ago, and He came back last night and gave me the second half. I'm not really sure what I think about this piece, other than that the feeling it gave me while writing was intense yet vague, erotic yet graceful, and very mysterious. Dreams can be like that.

I might still mess with it a little. What do you think?

In His Dream
by Serai


In his dream, he lay in her arms, drowsy with the glory that streamed around her. Warmth surrounded him, flashes of glittering light shining even through his closed eyelids. Like the moon, her face floated in shadow, submerging him in the glow of still water.

In his dream, she sang to him, her low voice weaving melodies with a power that made him tremble.

In his dream, he moved his hand, and dared as he never would in life. Soft and strong, young and ancient, he could not resist her. He turned his face to her breast, opened his mouth against her gown. She sighed at the touch.

In his dream, they matched skin to skin, pale as moonlight framed in shadows. They fit together, each touch playing high sharp notes on their bodies. He knelt on her thighs as she took his cock in hand, and his quick and clever fingers found the place where her cries lived.

In his dream, he kissed her as he had never been kissed. He pleasured her, and the things she did to him no one would ever know.

______________________________________________________________


In his dream, there is love, the fierce, near-violent love he's always known was there. Whatever stopped them before has dissolved, and there's no longer any reason not to fall.

In his dream, golden sunlight pours around their embrace, and every wish he never knew he had. When he feels a broad hand slide into his clothes, he arches and laughs at how easy it all is.

In his dream, hay scratches against his legs. Tanned arms and hazel eyes are all he desires, and kissing until he drowns.

In his dream, they match strength to strength. He tastes salt and earth and flesh, clutches muscle with his corded hands. He sucks and strokes and thrusts, reason drowned in wanting and the taste of sweat-dappled skin.

In his dream, the earth opens its heart to him, in his lover who is all the world. He can feel the sun burning his back as he moves, and he doesn't care who hears their cries.

I think you should write more often, that's what I think. :)

It is all those things you said: intense, vague, erotic, graceful, mysterious. The way the best dreams should be.

And thank you for the visual contrast of Frodo and Arwen's pale skin side by side with Sam's golden hues.

Thanks for the kind words. Well, I'd love to write more, and perhaps ROTK will jumpstart my Muse and get Him chatty again. He's been whispering a bit, so I have high hopes. :)

I'm glad you liked the contrasts between the two sections. It was really only a fragment until the second half showed up. Then I understood the reason for the piece. *kisses Muse*

Ooooh, welcome back muse! I loved both of these.

*whisper, snuggle, whisper*

He says thanks for the welcome back. *giggle* He's glad to be back. *sigh* He's got some ideas and... *oh*...*mmm*...*gasp* ...He'll be around and... *MMmmmMMM*

Excuse me, there's something I have to do now...

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

*Covers eyes* Go right ahead!

oh my!

oh dearest, your words are so powerful, yes yes!! subtle and vivid at the same time (how do you do that??)

love all of it, esp the light he sees through shut eyes (swoon, you know what an Arwen fancier I am)

and the ending, the earth opens its heart to him, **sigh** just lovely

my feelings are mixed reading it, its joyful and yet so sad at the same time

just the way ole' angsty me loves it ;)

Thanks for the happy, GT!

Well, it's pretty clear in the book that Frodo is completely smitten with Arwen, and who wouldn't be? He does have an eye for the elf-maids, I noticed - seems to get all twisted up at every bit of lembas that comes along. *giggle*

Atmosphere very well achieved. Especially I should highlight the strong contrast between both lovers. Beautiful words.

Hi, Maria!

Thanks very much for your kind comment. I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed the fic. :)

[serai1.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it! That first part hung around for a while, and I'm really happy that it turned into something more than just a fragment. Yes, the High Priestess seems like a fitting image for this piece - standing at the edge of the dark, in the space between the worlds, which is where dreams happen.

I'm not one to pair Frodo off with everybody and her grandmother, but since the book makes clear that Frodo was smitten with Arwen, it just came naturally. :)

Wow... very nice. Lovely ficlet... such imagery.

[serai1.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm very glad you liked it. :)

[empressaurelius.livejournal.com]

Very good fic. Liked it a lot. Very vouyeristic and sexy.

[serai1.livejournal.com]

Oo, thank you! I'm glad to know it's sexy. ;)~~~

[archerlass.livejournal.com]

I liked these very much, especially the sense of erotic joy in each in spite of (or because of?) being only dreams. And the wonderful imagery delivers a feast for the senses! Thank you!

Well, I enjoyed it, and then, you know, I got to the comments and everyone was talking Arwen when I'd been thinking Galadriel, and I went, "D'oh!"
