Summary
Thranduil’s realm has stood apart for centuries—silent, secretive, and sealed against the outside world. The aloof king trusts no one beyond his borders, least of all the grim and prideful Noldor.
When young Prince Legolas, playful and curious despite his father’s stern warnings, strays too close to Imladris, he is captured by the infamous twin sons of Elrond. Elladan and Elrohir—war-hardened, merciless, and known for hunting orcs with cold precision—are not prepared for the golden-haired wood elf who stirs more than just suspicion.
Bound by ancient grudges and deep scars, both realms stand on the edge of renewed conflict. But amid the tension, one of Elrond’s sons begins to see past the bloodlines and borders—to the light in Legolas that refuses to dim.
And light has always drawn shadow.

Summary
Hinnoreth has spent centuries on the run, hiding the fire in her veins and the truth of what she is. Branded a danger to elfkind, she has learned to survive in the shadows, slipping between villages like a ghost-until she is captured and thrown into the dungeons of Mirkwood.
Now bound to serve as a spy for the cold and calculating King Thranduil, she treads a perilous path between loyalty and deception, her secrets growing heavier with each passing day. But as forgotten memories claw their way to the surface and the fire within her threatens to consume everything, Hinnoreth begins to wonder:
Is she truly the master of her fate? Or is she the weapon she was always meant to be?
With war brewing and an ancient prophecy whispering of ruin, she must make a choice-one that could either save the Elven king she never meant to care for... or reduce his kingdom to ash.

Summary
"The Dúnedan stared at Legolas with that woefully assertive look.
One of warning; one of unspoken strength.
'Stand down, Legolas.'
The elf’s jaw clenched at the man’s command. Since when did mortals command HIM, Prince of Mirkwood?
Never.
Not in ALL his 2931 YEARS of life.
Not even broad-shouldered, wavy-haired, strong-armed soon-to-be kings!"

Summary
After centuries of enmity and misunderstanding, the fates of Thorin Oakenshield and Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm, become entwined in ways neither could have foreseen. What begins as resentment—Thorins' deep-seated anger toward Thranduil for not aiding his people when Smaug took Erebor—slowly shifts into something else entirely.
Through battles fought side by side, wounds tended, and unspoken truths revealed, Thorin comes to learn the depth of Thranduil’s burdens, the scars he has hidden, and the impossible patience he has held for over a century. Thranduil, in turn, watches Thorin battle his own demons, the gold sickness, and the weight of his crown.
A promise was made—if Thorin could free himself from his sickness and honour his debts, then Thranduil would hear him. And now, in the wake of war and hardship, with Erebor and Dale rebuilding, they find themselves standing at the precipice of something fragile and undeniable.
With dwarven braids woven by elven hands, whispered words in Khuzdul and Sindarin alike, and an intimacy neither of them ever expected, Thorin and Thranduil must navigate what it means to be bound—not by hatred, but by something far stronger.

Summary
Thranduil roared as he grabbed her by the collar, "You put my soldiers lives at risk!" He pulled her closer and looked down his nose at her, "Did I not tell you that wandering the forest would be too dangerous? You have wasted precious resources and caused injury to my soldiers. Their blood is on your hands!"
She winced at the harsh words but stood her ground against him and glared back.
"Then why did you fucking save me?!" Her eyes narrowed as she spat back, "Why not just leave me to your Valar-forsaken forest and be done with me?!"
-- -- -- -- -- --
Thranduil is annoyed.
Which, all things considered, isn't out of the norm for him. But the reason for this particularly frustrating annoyance is a female in his dungeon who refuses to answer his questions or even speak to him at all. With a delicate alliance hanging in the balance, he needs answers, but is he willing to do what it will take to get those answers? Or will he see everything he's worked so hard to rebuild crumble around him? -

Summary
"Not all songs end at sea. Some fade between the trees, in silence."
Not all have left — not yet.
And yet, a kind of farewell already lingers.
Something in his gestures, in his stillness, in the way he watches the days pass. And it is not the sea that calls to him.Can one truly choose where eternity ends? Can someone give up what they are, just to stay with those they love — until the end, and perhaps beyond?
A story that imagines a different ending for Legolas. A quiet one — but one he chose.

Summary
It had been many years since the King had thought about taking another to his bed. He suffered many long, lonely nights without his beloved Queen until, after his son leaves him, he cannot handle the silence and he finds himself seeking something in the arms of another.
When Eirien finds herself summoned to the King’s chambers out of the blue, she is more than a little confused, but finds herself more than happy to serve her King despite the cost to herself. The biggest rule the King has for this arrangement is to not fall in love with him and it seems such an easy thing to just agree. The Queen may be dead and gone but they are still married and he will always love her, always be bound to her and Eirien knows this... but the more time she spends in his company, the more she gets to actually know him, the more she begins to realise that she has already fallen too deep.
As time continues to pass and Mirkwood continues to darken, the threat of Mordor creeping ever closer, Eirien finds herself at a complete loss. If she confesses, she will lose him for good, but if she keeps quiet, she will only further torment her already broken heart.

Summary
Burned and scorned, you escape from your refuge turned captor of a village after your father’s death. Deciding to venture across the Mirkwood to find your estranged mortal uncle, you yearn in elven melodies for answers along the treacherous road- listening to the whispers and clamorous chorus of the trees as your guide.
Hoping that your blasphemous heritage and youth remains secret, sworn silent by the heaviness of your hood over your pointed ears, by the mud browning your hair, you instead have your guise ripped from you by an injured elf you nurse back to health in the deep recesses of the forest- an elf named Legolas.

Bearing her sister's face but carrying her own scars, Elara finds reluctant sanctuary in a kingdom where the king can barely look at her without seeing the ghost of his beloved queen.But when her vengeful husband arrives demanding their return, Thranduil makes a shocking proposal: a marriage of protection and convenience that would shield Elara and her children forever.

Summary
Leyla Silverstar has never truly belonged-not to the world of humans, nor to the realm of elves. A half-blood caught between two identities, she finds herself summoned to the Woodland Realm, where wary gazes and unspoken suspicions follow her every step. And no one is colder toward her than Thranduil, the formidable elven king whose heart has long since turned to ice.
She dislikes him. He barely tolerates her. But as fate entwines their paths, Leyla begins to see beyond the crown-beyond the sharp words, the quiet sorrows, and the walls he has built around himself. And Thranduil, against all reason, finds himself drawn to the fire within her.
When an ancient relic forces them on a perilous journey into the depths of the forest, their reluctant alliance shifts into something far more dangerous. Enemies lurk in the shadows, magic whispers through the trees, and truths neither of them are ready to face threaten to unravel everything.
Can a frozen heart be thawed? Or will the forces seeking to keep them apart succeed before their bond has a chance to take root? -

Summary
'Legolas son of the great Elven King Thranduil and heir to the throne of the woodland realm, seemed to have everything that any sane elf, human or even dwarf would wish for: He had strength that captivated and inspired those around him, a personality that drove people towards him with intelligence that could outsmart any foe and beauty that entranced both men and women.
But they, the elves, humans and dwarfs only saw that. They did not pay attention to the way he struggled to keep up this false facade for his father's selfish dream of an ideal son, for Legolas Greenleaf was not whom the elves made him out to be'
OR
After Aragorn's sudden betrayal and an attack by a mysterious figure, Legolas is left confused and hurt, struggling with old wounds and unanswered questions. When he’s summoned to a celebration hosted by King Aragorn, the two are given a chance to face the past and possibly start again.

Summary
**To New Beginnings**
Friendship is an unbreakable bond that lasts forever. At least, that’s what Thranduil thought—until his best friend disappeared from the palace in the middle of the night without any explanation. Back then, he was the prince of Mirkwood. Now, he is the king.
When Naira knocks on the palace gates once more, everything has changed. She doesn’t seem to recognize Thranduil, recoils from him, hides, and, in general, no longer appears to be the elf he once knew so well. The stories she has heard about him over the years have only instilled fear in her heart, leaving her terrified whenever she stands before the king. Thranduil, on the other hand, has spent all these years longing for nothing more than to have her back.
Now that she is finally in front of him again, he swears to himself that he will never let her go. No matter the cost! He is determined to restore their friendship and find out if she has missed him as much as he has missed her. That his feelings for Naira go far beyond mere friendship is something he chooses to ignore—only making everything even worse.

One day they decide to take a trip out of the Mountain. Little do they know that at the very place where they will set up camp, they will have an encounter that will change their lives, and perhaps even the life of a notorious ally/enemy.
Whether this change will be a blessing or a downfall for the House of Durin (and for the OFC) only their choices will tell.I am Italian and my English is a bit rusty so I apologise in advance for any wonky grammar you will find 🫠
Enjoy!
