    Summary

    Reworked prequel to Sons of Thunder.

    Above all else, Elves have a gift with song. And Legolas more than most. When Eomer meets with the Three Hunters, he is persuaded by Aragorn to take Legolas (who has been injured in the battle at the Rauros Falls) to Medusel, while Aragorn and Gimli find the hobbits. Legolas has an important task- to reach Théoden, to convince him to rouse the Riders and to lead them against Saruman. But Eomer is arrested immediately they arrive and it will not be long before Grima has Legolas similarly incarcerated.

    Note: this was my FIRST ever fic written in Dec 2008 as Deeper than Breathing on ffnet. That is also reposted her from HASA and is a less sexually violent and explicit version.
    I also had no idea what was going to happen between Elrohir and Legolas later. I did think about reworking this so fit in better but actually it will change it too much.

    Summary

    The road from the Glittering Caves is long, and dusty, and in truth Gimli’s new settlement cannot really spare him for the length of time he means to be gone, but he means not to dwell on that. It has been months in the crafting, his new realm, and a stress test is an important part of evaluating any new creation, as every Dwarf knows. He must allow the settlement to stand on its own, and see where it cracks, to know where it needs shoring up.

    It is not as though he has left for no purpose beyond testing his construction. Legolas’s letter inviting him to Ithilien sits folded in Gimli’s inner pocket, safe from the ravages of weather and travel. He has known the Elf for less than three years—a blink, in either of their life spans—and yet he finds he has grown accustomed to having Legolas at his side, even more so than Aragorn, though they were always three together during their quest.

    Summary

    The War of the Ring is over, but new conflicts are quick to arise. Legolas must navigate injury, friendship and the call of the Sea whilst helping rebuild two war-ravaged Kingdoms. If only the aftermath of the battle were as straightforward as the battle itself.

    Summary

    “I was sent on this journey to protect all of you.” Even as close as they were, Pippin could barely hear the elf. “I failed.”

    Legolas’ hand slipped out of his and found the bandages at his wrists, touching them with the tips of his fingers. “All of my training, all of the centuries I have spent fighting until my fingers split open and my palms became raw… it was all for nothing when it counted most.”

    “But–”

    “Please, Pippin. I do not wish to talk any more.”

    “Alright.” Pippin swallowed back the guilt rising in his throat. Pulling his wrist away from Legolas’ hand, he took it in his own once more, pressing it to his chest.

    “So you can feel I’m still here, even when you sleep,” he explained quietly.

    (Legolas and Pippin have been rescued by the Fellowship. As they continue their quest towards Mordor, they find that not every wound can be fixed with just medicine, and that more terrible ones may be forming just below the surface.)

    (Sequel to Fool of a Took so unless you like being confused you should probably take a gander at that one first.)

    Summary

    The Thranduilion features were there: fine boned, aristocratic, unmistakable, but they sat strangely on him, as if someone had taken a prince and taught him to live like a weapon, and now the weapon was being asked to smile nicely and call it reintegration.

    Years after being stolen and dragged into Dol Guldur, Legolas has clawed his way back to a home that now feels like a foreign land. He doesn’t want a throne, he wants the South Watch and the anonymity of the barracks.

    But they all remember the child that was lost, and the shadows of the South are long.
