    Summary

    This story was inspired by an episode of the SF TV series called 'Babylon5', which features two very minor characters and follows them around the station during a tense conflict. The major characters are featured as incidents or 'meetings' in their daily work. I have transferred it to Rivendell, at the time of 'Many Meetings' and 'The Council of Elrond' (FOTR), and my elves have made it slashy.

     

    BTW, The B5 episode is 'A View from the Gallery', series 5, and the characters were Mack and Bo.

    Summary

    It begins as a joke. Emma promises to paint him a wedding portrait and draws back, laughing, when she sees the ill-concealed look of horror on his face.

    “What!” she cries, “are you afraid I’ll make you too tall?”

    “Nothing of the sort,” replies Mr. Knightley -- her Mr. Knightley, as she has begun designating him in letters to her sister, though Isabella simply calls her husband John. “I simply fear you may be trying to marry me off. And I had thought we’d settled that matter to the contentment of both parties.”
