    Very good little story. There's a whole series of these. Eldritch cowboys and friends.

    Summary

    What if everyone in the Silmarillion made slightly better decisions and didn't hate each other so much? Probably this.

    Featuring: Feanor, who just Keeps Bursting Into Flame!
    Sauron, who somehow hasn't noticed the giant "Welcome to Gondolin" sign!
    Thingol, who actually has not changed from canon at all!
    and many more!

    Just a little bullet point fic in which I attempt to retell the Silm as close to canon as possible but not sad!

    Title: Bind Them
    Status: Complete
    Pages: 335 (7 Chapters)
    Characters: Thranduil Oropherion; Legolas Thranduilion; Elrond; Galadriel; Lindir; Glorfindel; OCs.
    Warnings: None.

    This book follows Book 1 - The Cord. It is a complete story in 7 Chapters (~ 40 - 50 pages per Ch).

    Summary: Some people are built for esoteric training, and some are Ranger Chiefs. So Chief Buckmaster finds herself in the Northern ranges again. A solemn purpose has separated her from her friends and chosen home in the Halls of the Elvenking. But soon the cries of wargs split the night air, silent strangers glide into Buckmaster Keep, and the famed Messenger-Men of the North come under attack -- the results of an imbroglio between Men and elves, and a contrivance to lay low an inconvenient King. And wargs are only the beginning.

    If you choose to read 'Chapter by Chapter' longer chapters may be cropped!

    Third in the series that starts with The Cord

    Summary

    Title: The Cord
    Status: Complete
    Pages: 184 (2 parts)
    Characters: Thranduil Oropherion; Legolas Thranduilion; Elrond; OCs.
    Warnings: None.

    This Mystery is a complete standalone story.

    Summary: This is a complete fan-fiction set in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings universe. When a troop of Northern Rangers arrive at the Great Gates of Mirkwood they reinforce what the Elfking there already suspects: Destroying the Dark Enemy and The One Ring did not wipe all Sauron's strife from Middle Earth. Rather, the vacuum has created a renaissance of darkness. Other powers afoot in the land are locked in competition for mastery over the Children of Iluvatar (Elves and Men), and a series of events on the Forest River, Long Lake, and Erebor slowly reveal that the Kingdom is falling under the shadow of a new threat. The Northern Rangers have also come to warn of a strange attack. In fact, their leader remains ensnared in the sway of dark forces and cannot speak of the event. Can the elves of Mirkwood and their great King, along with a handful of Northern Rangers and a rising city of Men, untangle the mystery of the cord?

    Please enjoy!

    My favorite Thranduil fic. Elves are very different from mortals here.
