Summary
To say Thranduil pined would be a conceit, a pretension to humility that he bore not, at least in the musings of his own mind. That his obsession disturbed him did little to quell his interest, if anything, it could be said that the wrongness of it only made the claws of longing dig deeper into his heart.
It was not unheard of among the annals of his people for two of the same line to find companionship in each other’s arms. For all the long years of the elves they were far-flung and the close bonds of kinship changed easily into the heat of romance, of love. So long as no children were bourne of such a union it was regarded as a dark fact of their lives. Yet the scandal of such a thing would be remembered above all else. He could rule fairly, with a good hand, and the only thing ever spoken when his time passed would be he loved his son too well.
Still, Thranduil knew he would bear it for a taste of silken flesh, for the right to touch and claim and love.
But, how could he taint the rule of his Legolas with his own aberrance?
