    Summary

    Galion knew all the almost imperceptible ways joy, anguish, and hate could change his King’s face. He also knew-- Thranduil’s denial be damned-- exactly how he looked when he was pining.

    Summary

    Thranduil is a brooding lone killer. Bard, on the other hand, radiates golden-retriever energy, though he’s just as deadly. They’re meant to be mortal enemies. Naturally, they fall in love.

    Summary

    Based off the prompt of a hurt Bard, continuing to help his people.

    'Imagine Bard wounded during battle of five armies but is still running negotiations for his people to the point of nearly collapsing on one of the meetings. Imagine Thranduil sliding on his knees near pale Bard and starting to chant healing spells. Imagine faces of others, from utter shock to quiet understanding.'

    Summary

    “Maybe I wanted an excuse to keep you here.” Thranduil said it like a challenge, a slight glint in his eyes.

    “Do kings need an excuse? I thought they just ordered.” Thranduil’s eyes were ghosting over his face, neither of them worrying about not staring anymore – not that Thranduil had ever seemed worried about that.

     

    OR: Thranduil and Bard continue their discussions long after Bilbo and Gandalf leave the Elvenking's tent. Bard begins to find the elf more and more interesting and enticing.

    Summary

    “King Thranduil, have you seen him?” Bard asked frantically to an elf perched on a ruin, helmet in his arms.

    “No?” He replied, clearly confused by his obvious worry – after all, why should a man be so worried about the Elvenking. Bard really didn’t want to analyse that right now. Especially as he didn’t know where Thranduil was.

    He’d seen Thranduil fight, it was a thing of beauty. Bard hadn’t known anyone, even an elf, could be so gracefully deadly on the battlefield, surely no one had managed best the lethal Elvenking. But they had been so outnumbered. He could’ve been surrounded.

    Summary

    It had been fairly obvious, at least to Bard and the other elves (luckily the other men hadn’t realised) that Thranduil had been delaying his departure as much as possible.

    In theory, Bard was the only one who knew exactly why Thranduil was still there, and it was not so the king could ‘continue negotiations and help the people of Laketown rebuild Dale’.

    Bard knew it had far more to do with the ‘official business’ he had to carry out with the 'king' of Dale; almost every night.

    Summary

    “Where?” Bard asked, he had never seen a single mark on the elf, and he had probably put his lips on every inch of that skin by now. Thranduil gestured warily at the left side of his face.

    Bard ghosted his fingers over it, careful not to actually touch.

    “Has it long since healed on the surface?” Bard wondered, combing his fingers through Thranduil’s silky hair in the way he knew he liked, he was surprised when Thranduil carefully shook his head.

    “It will never heal.” Thranduil answered sadly.

    Summary

    Thranduil was melancholy in a way he had never been before, at least with him. He took less delight in the things that they did. Last week Bard had taken him to a little pool he had found in the trees at the bottom of the mountain, it was beautiful, but Thranduil had seemed almost absent.

    Bard was trying everything to make Thranduil happy, doing all of the things he knew Thranduil loved, all the things that made him laugh, taking him to the places that were theirs. But nothing worked, if anything it was just making Thranduil sadder. His laugh was broken and small, not musical and loud as it once was. He looked at their places ruefully and Bard could see he was filled with sorrow.

    Bard didn’t know what was wrong.

    He didn’t know how to fix it.

    He desperately needed to fix it.

    Summary

    “Fine.” Bard sighed, getting ready to outline his rules, but before he could a drowsy voice spoke.

    “Courting a king’s daughter without permission, terrible. He can’t have you, he’s not good enough.” Thranduil protested.

    “You’ve not even met him.”

    “Doesn’t matter, he’s still not good enough. Couldn’t possibly be.”

    Sigrid beamed at the Elvenking’s affection, Bard knew he held her with as much love as if she were his own. He did for all Bard’s children. But watching the way Sigrid smiled at his kind words made his heart squeeze.

    “No unchaperoned dates. No outings after eight. No sneaking out. And absolutely no husband for at least five years.” Bard reeled off.

    “Twenty.” Thranduil grumbled against Bard’s chest, making them both grin.

    Summary

    Bard could have reeled off all the sensible diplomatic reasons that Thranduil really should attend the banquet in Erebor. That is not what he said.

    “If you come, I will do that thing you’ve been asking me for for weeks.” Is what he said instead.

    Bard watched as Thranduil went from confusion to understanding, eyes going dark as Bard raised an eyebrow mischievously.

    It was hilarious to watch Thranduil suddenly start packing with fervour.

    Summary

    Bard could not bear it. To see his love so sad, to know that he was the cause, but also knowing that there was nothing he could do to help. He could not slow the sands of time. And leaving was not an option even if he could stomach the thought. Thranduil was going to lose him, no matter what, and it was killing them both.

    So Bard pushed himself. He did not allow himself to seem tired, he tried not to need his cane, he refused to so much as cough around Thranduil. He pushed himself. And he pushed himself straight into illness.

    Worn down and worn out Bard had gotten sick, more susceptible to it now anyway in his winter years, and less likely to recover.

    Summary

    Ten years after the Battle of the Five Armies, the forces of the enemy returned to Dol Guldur and threatened the new-found peace of the peoples of Rhovannion. In the chaos of battle, Bard, King of Dale and dearest friend of the Elvenking, was lost. Since then, Thranduil has watched the world change around him. He witnessed the final defeat of the Sauron, watched Bard's children grow and fade, and said goodbye to his only son as he sailed away to the Undying Lands.

    A rumour grows of a great red serpent, come down from the North and the Fourth Age, with the destruction of the One Ring, has begun. It is an age of men; men who have grown over-confident and too accustomed to living without threat of darkness, men who do not remember what it is to be frightened of anything but their own shadow. They have forgotten what can grow in the darkness, so used to the light. They have forgotten evil. But evil has not forgotten them.

    Summary

    From the Tumblr Prompt: "Oh no, our two dogs shagged so we might as well know each other's names!"

    After the death of his wife, Thranduil has found it hard to move on. He's distanced himself away from his son, Legolas, and focussed solely on his work- pretending like nothing ever happened because then it might hurt less. However, after Legolas went off to uni, he's left in care of Legolas' faithful and loving Belgian Shepard, Tauriel. Under orders to protect and care for her at all costs, he sends her to Gandalf the Grey's Hound Sitting Service.

    Widower Bard's entire life revolves around his 5 kids, 3 human and 2 canine. Sigrid's 18 and doing her ALevels alongside a part time job, Bain is 14 and acting like it and Tilda is 6 and full of just as much energy as their Norwegian Elk Hounds - Fíli and Kíli. However, with so many mouths to feed he's always working- and when he's not working he's always running around after everyone, taking them all to school/Grey's Hounds, football practice, ballet, rainbows.... It all means he's got no time for himself.

    However, with the aid of two dogs, and the will of some meddling kids, these two unlikely men might find exactly what they need.
