Title: Quicksilver
Rating: NC-17
Summary: There's a threat to Estel's life, and Erestor is lost in the general confusion as he tries to work out where, or who, it comes from.
Disclaimer: 'Lord of the Rings' and all associated characters, events, and random references came from JRR Tolkien, and belong to his estate. I receive no money from writing this, and I don't claim this as truthverse in any way.
A/N: Written as part of
slashy_santa 2006, for request "Erestor/Elladan - i want the story to be about a conspiracy, and a poison murder." Az, I hope this works for you. Merry Christmas.
The Encyclopedia of Arda saved my butt on this one, as well as LotR: Appendix A part v. Anything that confuses you, look there. Mithril is also called 'truesilver', and therefore I have used mercury, also known as 'quicksilver', as a liquid and possibly weaker variant. I definitely don't recommend ingesting it, though it was prescribed as a medication as recently as the early twentieth century.
( Erestor woke; his eyes gradually drawing the room into focus... )
