Reunited - Finrod x Reader

I use the Quenya version of Finrod's name in this (Findaráto) so just a heads up before you get confused.

Warning: in this, you have to deal with the loss of a loved one, so if you really don't want to read about that, then I suggest that you skip this oneshot.

It had been so long since you last saw the love of your life. Many years have passed since you last saw him. He had left Valinor to go into Endórë, meaning that you would probably never be able to see him. The two of you would never see each other again.

Not very long ago, you had received news that broke your heart. The elf that you claimed to love was killed, and could be staying in the Halls of Mandos for all of eternity. Now you would never be able to see him. You were sure of it. As soon as you heard the news, you felt like dying.

"I'm afraid your lover has been killed." you were told. "And he now sits in the Halls of Mandos, waiting for judgement."

As he defied the word of the Valar by going down to Middle-earth, you knew that he would stay there. A knife cut through your heart when you were told that he had died. Right now, you felt like just screaming and crying in pain.

"I understand..." you replied, sinking into the land of heartbreak and sadness. "Well, I suppose that is all I will hear about him for a long time." Slowly, you dragged yourself away to your home and went into a depressive state.

Elves could die from the sorrow of getting their heart broken, so you worried for your life. Everything seemed to fall apart before your very eyes. He couldn't be dead. He had to be alive, and he was going to sail to Valinor. Soon you will be reunited.

Hopefully, this state will pass, and you will feel fine again. It will be exactly like the time when your lover had left Valinor. You were upset about it for a while, until you realized that you will be fine, and was healed from the negative emotion.

This situation was different, and so new to you. The more you grieved, the more confused you became. What exactly is death, and why does it do this to you? Elves were new to topics like that (at least in Valinor), so of course you became confused.

You took out a little portrait you had of your lover. Findaráto Ingoldo. He was one of the fairest elves that you have seen, and was eager to begin a relationship with you. It was unfortunate that things had to end this way.

Every night from the day you were told of his death, you recalled the days where you two lived peacefully in Valinor. The moments where you two would laugh together, while cuddling on a couch. The moments where you two would dance until you tripped and fell to the ground, laughing like nothing happened.

Those were the good old days that you longed for. They seemed to now be gone for good. It was a terror to go through this, and you would never wish this on anyone. Not even the person that you despise the most.

None of this would have happened if you had simply just went with Findaráto. You could have joined him, and you two would now be living together happily. All of these thoughts that rushed through your mind made your head spin and it made you feel worse. This whole thing made you feel terrible.

As time passed, you got worse and worse. You could swear that you were close to just fading away. Perhaps that was just you being overdramatic, but the sadness was so overwhelming. Friends and family were worried about your health. Some of them have actually told you that you were overreacting, though they never experienced this situation.

Many time passed, and you were still mourning the death of Findaráto. You walked around Valinor and wished that none of this had happened. It was tough, dealing with grief. Nothing new had really happened to you, and everything felt really dull.

You felt weaker as the days continued, but you carried on. Maybe you didn't need your lover for you to live. All you needed was yourself. Though, you were still very upset about his death. Of course you weren't over it. You had hoped to marry him, and now you can't.

But then, you were approached by one of the Maiar of Mandos. What was this for? Your heart was pounding. Seeing how it was a Maia of Mandos, you assumed that the news could be about Findaráto. You hoped that they brought good news. Please say that they had pleasant news to you.

"Good day." began the Maia. "I was told to announce that your lover has been reborn. He will shortly be returned to see you, and you two may celebrate as you wish." Your mouth was wide open. You could hardly believe your ears.

"I thought he would be doomed to stay in the Halls of Mandos for ever!" you exclaimed, shocked yet excited. "But now he is returning to me. I get to see Findaráto once more." Tears were forming in your eyes. Tears of joy. After a long time of thinking that you would never see him again, you were being told that Findaráto was coming back.

"It was decided that because of his noble actions, he deserves to be reborn." the Maia explained. You were so lucky to have had the chance to be with Findaráto. He was the kindest elf ever, and respected anyone who didn't have an evil heart. And you felt even luckier to have him back.

The Maia went back to Mandos and told you to wait for your lover where you were standing. So, you stood there and patiently waited for Findaráto to come to you. You had been hoping for this moment to come for a long time, and you were so glad that your wish was coming true.

Minutes passed, and you still waited for your lover. He was coming, and as soon as you see him you are definitely going in for a kiss, if he doesn't mind. Not seeing him in so long made you desire having him next to you and assuring you that everything was going to be fine.

Then, after some time, you noticed two figures coming to you in the distance. It had to be the Maia you talked to with Findaráto. And lucky for you, it was. You saw the tall, blond, blue eyed elf come near, and you instantly rushed to him in delight. As you ran to him, he ran to you, smiling because of how happy he was to see you.

Then, you two closed the distance between you and engaged in a long, sweet kiss. It was the type of kiss that you loved, and it was one that showed happiness. The scent of flowers that you smelled made you feel even more bliss and made you grab the hair of Findaráto. He then put a tight arm around your waist.

You never wanted this to end. This moment was the best one of your life. After so much time not seeing him, you were finally in his arms. He was with you. This had to be some kind of dream, but it wasn't. All of this was actually happening. He had sighed while his lips were on yours, and you let out a giggle that was muffled by his mouth.

Findaráto then pulled away and smiled. "Melmenya, 'ni méla tye." he whispered, his voice sending a small shiver down your spine.

"'Ni méla tye." you repeated. Valar, it felt wonderful to be reunited with your one true love.
