AN: I woke up yesterday to find out that a good chunk of my stories have been removed from this site (and that I'd been blocked for a day), most likely due to a certain flamer not so long ago. A few of them violated no rules whatsoever, so it's great to see the admins here really look into things. Apparently kissing is considered 'explicit content' now. I urge anyone who follows me on this site to move over to AO3. I'm there under the same name! I'm toying with the idea of reposting the stories again here, or at least some of them, opinions? Mostly I'm saddened that I've lost some cherished reviews.

Anyway, here's a place for the drabbles I post up on tumblr. Illustrated versions can be found on A03.

Pairing: Fili/Kili

Glow

Fili stopped at the edge of the clearing at the sight of his little brother. Kili was bent over the water rinsing mud from his shirt. The younger dwarf was humming cheerily with a grin on his face and a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Have you been up to no good again Kili?" Fili asked, drawing his brother's attention behind him. Kili turned and smiled impossibly wide, the late afternoon sunlight lighting up his eyes. He bit his lip and looked down bashfully before turning and pulling his shirt from the water.

"How did you know?" Kili asked, and Fili approached him, bending to kneel beside the other dwarf.

"When aren't you?" Fili questioned and nudged his brother playfully. Kili chuckled and twisted his shirt, the excess water dripping to the ground below.

"Going to reprimand me?" The younger asked with a sigh as he shook the shirt out and held it up to examine. Fili studied his brother's form, the line of his neck, and the warm colour of the skin on his back. Even his hair was glowing where it fell in soft waves around his chin.

"Not today," Fili spoke gently, moving to grip his brother's chin. Kili's eyes widened slightly as Fili turned the other dwarf's face and touched their noses together, but they quickly softened at the older dwarf's expression.

"Not while your lips look so inviting," Fili said slyly, grinning as he studied his brother's face. He tightened his grip on Kili's chin, tilting it up just a tad, before leaning in and pressing their lips together in a tender kiss. It lasted only a few seconds, but when Fili pulled away, his brother was flushed, and his eyes drooped with lust.

"Nadad," Kili whispered, pushing their noses together again. The two sat together, breathing heavily and stealing the occasional kiss as the sun began to set. And when the last rays disappeared from the sky and Kili's lips began to tremble from the evening chill, Fili pushed his brother to the ground to warm him under the cover of darkness.
