Title: The Scepter and the Serpent, A Gondolin Mystery in Three Parts.
Author: Gloromeien

Email: swishbucklers@hotmail.com
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Glorfindel/Ecthelion
Warning: Characters belong to that wily old wizard himself, Tolkien the Wise, the granddad of all 20th century fantasy lit. I serve at the pleasure of his estate and aim not for profit.
Request/plot: Established relationship but no character death (either first age or after their returns).
Do not include: No rape, no parody, no noncom, NO MPREG, a little humor is ok but not extreme.
Summary: The King enlists Glorfindel and Ecthelion’s help in unmasking a palace thief. Tracy/Hepburn-like antics ensue (or so a humble author hopes).

Written for Aussie Lass

A/N: This plot bunny was begging to be written, though I hope it doesn’t fall too short of your parameters. There is, however, romance aplenty to be had, as well as an indecent amount of flirtation, so I hope you and everyone enjoys!

A/N 2: Some liberties are taken in this with the story of Aredhel and Eol. I am pretending that Eol did not immediately reject the notion of remaining in Gondolin, but, at Turgon’s invitation, resided there awhile to test out his liking of the place, with the same tragedy occurring after the conclusion of this tale.
