Title: The Watcher
Author: Tuxedo Elf
Pairing: Glorfindel/Ecthelion
Rating: PG

*************

Ecthelion loved to watch Glorfindel.

When he sparred, the light sheen of sweat on his chest making his skin
gleam in the morning sun.

When he rode out on patrol, tall, noble and resplendent in armour.

When he took time for himself and sprawled lazily under his favourite
tree.

Yet when he slept - that was when Ecthelion loved to watch him most.
When his body and mind were both at peace and his usually
carefully-tied hair spread out over the pillow and his breathing was
soft and even.

Every night Ecthelion watched him, in an unceasing vigil.

For this he had forsaken Mandos' Halls, caring little for the risk
that he may never be re-embodied. He had been certain that once
Glorfindel had left, there would be no healing for his spirit in the
Grey Halls.

He was right.
