Author:

wizefics
Characters/Pairing: Elladan, Elrohir, Estel
Rating: All Audiences
Warnings: none
Book/Source: LOTR, vaguely movie-ish, as are all of my LOTR fics, but not really noticeable
Disclaimer: Not mine, but Tolkien wanted to build a mythology and I think that gives me the right to play in this sandbox.
A/N: As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated. Written for the weekly drabble challenge at

tolkien_weekly - "North"

This decision has long been made. It had been decided nearly twenty summers ago, when a small child had taken our hands in his and called us brothers.

Despite our differing lineages and bloodlines and his mortality, we are kin - brothers of the heart and brothers at arms.

So we will journey with him until he no longer needs us by his side and that day will be bittersweet. Our hope is for his success; our alternative is our common deaths.

Estel leads; we follow, becoming for a short time that which we are not: Men of the North.
