Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

18. Dating Glorfindel Headcanons Part 2

Joining the Guard

- Glorfindel- as stated in my last post- is an absolute hen

- So if you are someone who is an adrenaline junkie and loves pushing the limits, you will be pulling this ellon through the ringer

- Glorfindel just wants to make you happy and preferably as safe as possible, after going through the fall of Gondolin, he knows no peace is guaranteed now unless its back in Valinor.

- His patience is indeed unparalleled and seemingly limitless, but it doesn't mean that his anxiety won't go through the roof!

- He is used to insane and dangerous antics, all thanks to the twins and the hell they gave him, but not when it comes to you

- Glorfindel will teach you how to hunt, but any time you want to do it by yourself, he is extremely reluctant about letting you go.

- He drives Elrond insane asking how you fair the whole time you are gone, he just can't help it.

- The moment you bring up how you want to join the guard and hunt orcs, Glorfindel goes white at the thought!

- Very very very very reluctantly does he agree- because he can't say no to your big pleading eyes and your cute pout- and insists he trains you for a certain amount of time no questions asked.

- Glorfindel will teach you himself how to properly wield a weapon, how to out maneuver and kill an orc. He will not go easy on you in the slightest, so be prepared.

- He wants to make sure you understand that this is a very very serious task you have taken up, and once he feels that you are ready only then will he give you the okay.

- Every single time that you leave him to go out hunting orcs, Glorfindel is praying to everyone under the sun from all the Valar to Eru himself to make sure that you come back to him safely

- The first time you come back to him injured he keeps you home beyond the recommended time at the healers recommendation because he's not ready to send you back out.

- Glorfindel will also ask when the twins go out with you to keep an eye on you, Elladan will for sure give him a sarcastic remark while Elrohir will understand fully the concern.

- Regardless, after every single hunt Glorfindel takes time off from the work he's been drowning himself in to be alone with you.

- Glorfindel will pull you into your shared chambers, and either sit down or lay down with you, gathering you in his arms and holding you as close as he can that's comfortable.

- He can't help but be relieved in those moments to have you finally there and home again with him.
