    Summary

    The elves of Rivendell murmured among themselves, disbelief rippling through their ranks. How could the youngest elf in all of Middle-earth, the littlest prince of Mirkwood, Thranduil’s youngest son, be chosen to represent the entire elven race on a quest to save the world? An elf from one of the darkest, most mysterious realm, clueless about the wider world and its workings, and unmistakably strange. Why him?

     

    TL;DR: How Legolas survived his childhood and went on to become the most infuriatingly weird elf in history.

    Summary

    His son bounds up to him in his study one afternoon, grinning as always, a single messy braid down his left temple as if Legolas attempted to plait it himself.

    "Ada!" Legolas exclaims when he spots him. "Ada!"

    "Ion nîn," Thranduil says sweetly, hoisting Legolas off the ground and into his lap. "What is it?"

    "My eyes changed color! I saw it in the mirror!"

    or: a series of people noticing Legolas's eyes

    title from In His Eyes from Jekyll & Hyde (1995)

    Summary

    This takes place in Hobbit 3 (Battle of the five armies) though there are parts from the book as well. The ending isn't quite as it was in the movies though and some stuff the characters do will be a bit ooc but I will try to keep them as true as possible to their personalities. Mentioning or short appearances of Elrond, Bilbo and Gandalf and perhaps a few more, the healer is my own creation. Rated E for later chapters.

    Legolas has fallen in battle and Thranduil comes rushing to his side. He is in such a bad shape that he's barely conscious when he's carried down from Raven hill. Thranduil looses his composure and only thinks of his son, refusing to sleep or eat until he's forced to do so in a very interesting . Galion is ever watchful of his king, perhaps a little more than he should but some fantasies just can't be denied when certain moments appear. Some dreams might even come true in ways he didn't think possible. There are a lot of ways to comfort a king.

    Summary

    Tauriel considers it an act of love - Thranduil is less inclined to do so: all he sees is a neglect of duty, a missing prince, and a heavy price to pay.

    Picks up where "The Desolation of Smaug" has left us, and follows different people as they serve the way they think best.

    "He is ready to explode at any second, but—as Thranduil is very well aware—his legendary temper is much more intimidating if visibly constrained; the quiet before the storm usually more effective than the gale unleashed. "
