Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

28. Protective Celegorm

Part 1: Protecting you from an abusive ex spouse

Trigger warning: mentions of verbal and physical abuse

*  *  *

- Celegorm is undoubtedly possessive, especially when it comes to you, so in turn this means keeping you safe is of utmost importance

- Though when you are hunting with him you'd think otherwise since he is so quick to leave you behind. (He does wait for you eventually)

- When you got together, Celegorm was aware that your marriage ended and it was done on very bad terms. But he doesn't know the details.

- So he is very much under the assumption that it was mostly verbal abuse you suffered with, finding it appalling that someone can treat you in such a manner.

- As aloof as he can seem, with this insight he finds it in his best interest to keep an eye on your former offender if they live in the same place as you.

- He wants to make sure that they're steering clear of you, so you didn't have to relive any of what happened to you.

- But when you explain to him finally about the physical abuse, his blood runs hot with that legendary Fëanorian temper and wants to see them killed for it.

- It is Curufin who talks him out of it, even though he agrees with Celegorm

- He goes into protective overdrive, and at all times you are to be watched either by Celegorm or Curufin as he doesn't trust for you to be left alone.

- He will take time off from hunting, as much as he will miss it, knowing he can't risk the cretin getting their hands on you again.

- Though he knows he can't always be there to watch you- nor Curufin- he does his best to make sure that you are indeed safe.

- If and when something happens to you, because abusers are notorious for wiggling their way through rules and sneaking around, it doesn't go well for them.

- Celegorm is very quickly alerted to the situation at hand, and will drop everything to come handle it.

- He'll march in looking predatory, eyes dark, lips curled in disgust, body tense and a dark glare to match.

- He is quick to separate your abuser away from you, slinging them roughly. Not caring that they fall and stumble because of it.

- I've always pictured Celegorm being a little more sadistic and would much rather toy with them first, before beating them.

- He is quick to make sure that they're banished from his land, and that their reputation is unable to recover with Curufin's help. Not caring who hears about it the type of being they are.

- Celegorm very much makes the threat of he ever sees them again, that he will kill them making sure to drive his point home.

- Once the matter is settled, while Celegorm is not one to monologue his love for you, he will make sure to spend some time with you.

- Making sure that you are comforted and that you once again feel safe.
