Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

99. Going to a Party with Elves - Imladris Headcanons

Elrond:

When going to a party with Elrond, anticipate for things to be done on a very formal and respectable manner. Everything is done with care and poise, from drinking in strict moderation, to dancing which is done with incredible grace and along with plenty of socializing in between.

Be it between yourselves or with the other elves around Elrond, like Erestor or Lindir. Affections will be kept to a minimum as Elrond is very reserved, though he will happily hold your hand and will often leave you with comments about how lovely you look. Elrond will also be sure to check in on you every so often, asking if you are enjoying yourself and will engage with you in great intellectually stimulating conversation.

Glorfindel:

Glorfindel is undoubtedly the life of the party, so anticipate your night to be full of fun and lighthearted experiences as it's really hard to put a damper on this ball of sunshine's mood. Anticipate him to drink quite heartily, not enough to get drunk but to certainly feel a buzz and keep him a little tipsy

Glorfindel will spend most of his night attached at your hip, a hand just on your hip as he wraps it around your waist and keeps you pulled close to him. Top of the head kisses and cheek smooches will be a common occurrence, even in the middle over a conversation and publicly you are met with such praise about how beautiful you look no matter who is before you. Glorfindel is happy to show you off and sing great praise to whoever asks about how wonderful you are.

Erestor:

Erestor really isn't a fan of going to parties, but he will go if you request it and you both will be spending most of your time in the presence of Elrond. Aside from you, that's the only other elf that is tolerable company during the whole event.

While Erestor is more conservative, if he drinks enough - which is guaranteed at a party he doesn't want to be at- expect for the affections to be a little bit more amped up even if it's just under the table. Though Erestor won't say it so publicly, he finds himself often dragging his eyes back to stare at you completely enamored with how lovely you look. You make the whole event far more enjoyable, and he is quick to inform you of that the moment you two are alone.

Lindir:

Lindir is more in his element when at a party and is more than happy to ave you accompany him on such an endeavor. Though he will be completely flustered by having you on his arm, blushing most of the night and feeling so lucky to have you with him.

Lindir is more than happy to participate in tame party events, socializing warmly, participating in any dancing and doing so very gracefully. Lindir will also happily sing or play a song and he's most certainly doing it with you in mind. Lindir definitely prefers being able to sweep you off and away to the balconies or terraces to have moments alone with you. Especially to share affections with you.

Elrohir:

Elrohir isn't big on socialization or on parties but like Erestor, he will suffer through it if that is what you wish. Your night is spent with him being particularly quiet unless you speak with him or Elladan does, but don't expect it to last long once he starts drinking.

Once Elrohir gets plenty of alcohol in his system, anticipate for him to open up considerably and be fairly more affectionate. Even under the watchful eyes of Ada and Erestor, Elrohir will spare you plenty of kisses, keep his arms around you to hold you close. He'll bring you along to chase after Elladan as they participate in more wild party festivities such as drinking competitions or racing. And while drunk like this, if you ask him to regale you with a story, he will do so with grandiose.

Elladan:

When it comes to a party Elladan is overjoyed to be able to attend one, and bringing you with him is just as joyful! Elladan is a social butterfly, so your night will be filled with over the top festivities.

Like his brother the more he drinks, the more over the top he becomes. Anticipate any and all affection to be done the same way as he doesn't care who is around to see it. His hand will be glued to yours the whole night to make sure he doesn't lose track of you in his stupor. Every game he participates in, from drinking to any roughhousing or racing will most certainly all be done in your honor he claims. It will certainly be a fun and wild night.

Bonus:

Haldir:

Haldir when going to a party is as formal as ever, so your night will be filled with relative amount of formality. Though once the drinking starts Haldir will begin to loosen up some, emphasis on some.

Though it may not seem like much, Haldir will prefer if you both kept closer. A hand lingering on the small of your back or your waist as chastely as possible to keep you with him. He stares at you with more adoration in his eyes, and seems far more interested in you than the socializing that is happening around you both. Haldir is certainly one to steal you away for walks for fresh air, even if it is just a few moments of peace. Wanting to be able to hold your hand or embrace you in private.
