Summary
“Alas, Rivendell finds yet another Ranger blind to the attentions of an Elf,” sighed Arwen.
“A tale old as time itself,” you snarked. “I could not even place who you might be speaking of. We were surrounded by Elves.”
“He hides his station well.”
“If it was a riddle I wanted, I’d have sought out Gandalf.”
When Aragorn took you under his wing, you came from nothing and knew nothing. You could not look any more different from him, yet you still endeavored to follow in his footsteps. This was, perhaps to a fault, as you also caught the eye of an Elf despite your much shorter lifespan.
(or, the quest to destroy the Ring brings you and Legolas together, and the rest of the Fellowship is fed up with the slowburn that seems set on outlasting the War itself. Implied POC!reader, but no appearance descriptors. Takes place during the LOTR trilogy movies.)

Summary
“Fine,” you sighed, looking up and admiring the peach-colored clouds. “I suppose I can part ways with a pouch of Southern Star.”
“That was supposed to be my wager!” cried out Pippin, lying on his front, resting on his elbows.
“No, Peregrin Took, a pouch of leavings is what you’d have left,” scolded Gandalf, who sat on a taller boulder behind Pippin. He whacked the young Hobbit playfully on the head with his staff.
“Its contents smoked before even reaching its winner.” Then, he decided, “A finely-crafted pipe will be what I have to offer.”Arwen proposes a bet, wishing to know who, out of the Fellowship, was the first to become aware of when you and Legolas first, well, became aware of each other.
(or, the companion piece to to fall for the shadow of the king. your budding relationship seen through the eyes of the Fellowship. Female!POC!reader, no appearance descriptors.)
