Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

16. Dating Celebrimbor Headcanons

- While vulnerability isn't entirely Celebrimbor's favorite, being romantic with you is a type of vulnerability that he's more than willing to express.

- He's a big ole softy when it comes down to you and is perfectly content if the whole world knows he's wrapped around your finger.

- He does prefer for your physical affection to stay private, the relationship is no one else's business but yours.

- But it doesn't mean he will skip over opportunities to do something sweet for you.

- For example if you're working and haven't stopped to eat he will make sure to bring you, your favorite food personally.

- Or he will bring just small things that made him think of you, like flowers, or something you may have had your eyes on like buttons for a dress, small trinkets, paints or new quills.

- Celebrimbor just wants you to always know he loves and appreciates you, and he won't skip out on telling you he does.

- He loves holding your hands, they are so small, soft and delicate compared to his. It also gives him a sense of pride knowing how much bigger and capable he is to keep you safe.

- And Celebrimbor is very capable of keeping you safe, with as big and as intimidating as he looks no one would be foolish to pick on you.

- Celebrimbor also loves to make you jewelry, you are a WONDERFUL reason to spend extra time in the forges to make you extraordinarily beautiful pieces

- Seeing you in the jewelry he makes you, makes him feel good to know you love his work and appreciate the things he makes for you.

- I love the headcanon that Celebrimbor was always sure he would never end up in a relationship. (courtesy of ​)

- I mean after everything that had happened, that his family had done, who would POSSIBLY want to be with the last Feanorian in Arda? Is his exact thought process.

- So because of this he stays in a perpetual state of surprise that someone loves him. That YOU love him so much.

- Unfortunately that are elves that do have ill feelings towards Celebrimbor, which means they'll feel mutually for you as well.

- THAT or they pity you for being with a Feanorian

- But Celebrimbor will handle them accordingly, and if you handle them by sticking up for him he'd be awed you think so highly of him.

- I mean he knows you love him BUT still it's so surprising to him!

- He'll still butt in and handle the situation in a very pissed off manner but you sticking up for him is the greatest.

- Either way Celebrimbor will absolutely feel incredibly lucky to have you, and he will never take you for granted. He will make sure you are well protected and loved at all times.
