    Summary

    "Out of everything I had ever seen alongside those garbage cans, the glowing, sky-fallen figure was by far the strangest. My heart pounded as I bent over his body. I had never seen something so bright in all of Nidavellir."

    OR: A prequel novel from Blitzen's POV featuring the death of his father, his first meeting with Hearthstone, and their decision to travel through one of the Nine Worlds to find the god Mimir.

    OR: Blitzen is alone. All of Nidavellir, the underground world of dwarves, laughs at him as he grieves the death of his father. On the night of his lowest moment the cavern ceiling slices open and spits out a being of light -- a deaf and dying elf who dabbles in rune magic. The two of them are haunted by their pasts. Their only hope of moving forward lies with finding the severed head of Mimir, the god of wisdom and knowledge. But the path to reach him will be dangerous and inhospitable. Can an eye-rolling elf and an irritable dwarf work together to reach what they most desire? Or will they fall short of realizing what matters most in the end?

    An army of orcs descend upon the Firien Wood in Gondor soon after the ring has been cast into Mordor. An unfortunate battle leaves Gimli captured, lost in unfamiliar trees—yet he is not alone.

    Reluctantly teamed up with King Thranduil, the currently injured dwarf-hater, Gimli must make the difficult decision to help him. After all, the enemy of my enemy is the father of the elf I'm helplessly in love with—right?

    Summary

    While everyone in the Fellowship is having a pretty horrible time, Legolas is mostly trying to have his romcom moment, find his soulmate, see the world, all that stuff the romantics dream about. He's serious about the mission too, of course. But he's spent too long listening to all the stories about love and daydreaming about finding his own to just stop, now that he's finally gotten out of Mirkwood!
    -
    This is basically a rehash of Lord of the Rings, except its from Legolas's POV, so it follows book canon pretty closely except that everything is heavily tinged by the sort of person I characterize Legolas as. Gimli/Legolas is Endgame, of course. Otherwise all canon typical ships and events happen, though I could make a good argument that Gimli/Legolas is canon in its own, private way.
