Lost in Middle-Earth

Thranduil x reader

Request Anon

Summary: Y/n finds herself falling asleep after watching all the Lord of the rings movie on Friday night , tired after a week of studying and working. What will happen when she finds herself in the middle of a forest with orcs running after her.

Warnings: Little bit of blood, fluff, Thranduil being a sassy bitch, some curse words

Words: 2,096

Part 1/ Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6 / Part 7 / Part 8

Finally...Fucking finally I have a night for myself. Taking out the bag of popcorns from the microwave, putting them on a bowl. I walk to my small living room and jump to my comfy couch, surrounding me with soft pillows. After a week of final exams and attending rude people in the coffee shop where i work, I could finally have my movie night all by myself, it’s not that I don’t like my friends or anything but I want a night for me, a night where I don’t have to hear the others problems or seeing b/f/n shoving her tongue down her boyfriend mouth like she is feeding a baby bird.

Pressing play on the first movie of The Lord of the rings, I cuddle into my pillow to make me comfortable. I must have seeing the trilogy about 10 times, is one of my favorite's movies of all time, since I was a child I was in love with the books, always asking my mother to read to me as a bedtime story, she always laughs when I quoted the lines of Ring poem with her.

Was in the middle of the second movie that I start feeling my eyes getting heavy, I put my head on the soft pillow and let the sleep take over me, feeling my body like it was floating in the air making my head dizzy, the sounds of the Tv no longer sound around me.

Suddenly I hear something behind me, like a noise of scrambling bushes. I open my eyes and the first thing I notice was the tall trees around me, not letting the sunlight peek. I shot up as i notice that I'm in the middle of a forest, looking around me trying to think of what’s going on. Fear starts to run through my veins, I hear again the same noise from before and I look behind to see what is it. As I turn, I feel a could wet hand grabbing me roughly, making a scream escape from my mouth, i lift my elbow, punching who was grabbing me from behind. The person behind me cry from pain, shouting curses, I feel the cold hand letting go of my shoulder and i turn around to see who was it, as I get a better look to the person, my body freeze at the sight in front of me, the most ugly creature that I ever seen in my life was in one knee with his arms around his stomach where I punch. The bushes start moving and a giant wolf jump from there, growling to me, and with that I start running as fast I can. Screaming as I look behind me and saw that the creature was riding the beast, gaining more speed. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?? One moment I was asleep on my small couch and now I'm in the middle of nowhere running for my life, I begin run in zig zag among the trees, trying to make him fall from the beast or hit a tree but as a tree gets in the way of the beast making the monster fall, he managed to throw his dagger and hit my back, making me almost fall. Pain runs through my body causing me scream on top of my lungs, i limp to a tree, leaning against it, trying to take it out the dagger. I grab the handle of the dagger and pull with all the energy I had left, tears falling down my face, biting my lower lip to stop me from screaming, I throw the dagger to the floor and slowly sitting at the roots of a tree.

Taking a deep breath, I look down to my hands, seeing them full of my blood. My body begin to shake from the cold and fear as the adrenaline start to phase out. I stay quiet, for the horrible creature don’t know where am I.

Thoughts begin to invade, where am I? Am I still in earth? Or this is just a horrible joke. No...it couldn’t be a joke if no the creature wouldn’t harm me. Fuck, I'm in the middle of nowhere, bleeding out and no one to help me. Closing my eyes, I take a one last deep breath and stand up. bending my back a little and start walking, trying to find help or shelter.

Hours had passed and I still didn’t have found anything or anyone. My head feels dizzy from the blood lost and my body was starting run out of energy. Maybe this is how I die, alone in a forest, bleeding out from my back . I stumble on a rock, losing balance making me fall down on the floor. And that was it, I couldn’t get up, all my energy ended. My breath starts coming in little puffs and my skin feels like it was on fire , i hear the creature coming closer, his footsteps were loud as rocks falling on the ground. I close my eyes letting the black void take over me, not caring about anything around me, not even when a loud scream of pain that leaves the creatures mouth and the last thing i remember is a pair of soft hands grabbing my head, pulling me into a soft embrace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hear a melancholic voice talking beside me, it was feminine voice and the language was strange, like something from a fairytale. I try open my eyes but they feel heavy, like they were glued together. All my body was sore, like it was hit by a truck, the wound on my back was numb making my body much more heavy.

The soft voice stopped when I heard a door open, the sound of soft feet’s walking to where I am lying down makes fear rise inside me again, don’t knowing where am i and in my condition where i couldn’t protect myself, my anxiety shot up to the top making my heart beat going faster.

The soft feet's stopped at the end of the bed where I was on, then a grave voice spoke in the same language of the other person, they start talking, I don’t know what they are talking about maybe about me. The feminine voice stops and walk out of the room, leaving me alone with the other person. I hear them move softly, sitting beside me on the bed, feeling it move with his weight. A delicate warm hand touches my cheek, making a shiver run down my spine, “Wake up, child.” with that my eyes shot open, making me regret to do it as the bright light makes pain shot through me. A groan falls from my lips as I put my hand on my face, rubbing the tips of fingers on my eyes, a chuckle was sound beside me, looking up I saw the most beautiful blue eyes in my life. The man in front of me was flawless, long beautiful almost silver hair, that give me a desire to bury my hands, his face was like feline, with sharp features. He was wearing some kind of silver robe and on his head was a crown, made of sticks with some red berries.

My mouth should be open because his hand that was on my cheek move to my chin and close my mouth, I feel my face become red from embarrass. I move my gaze to the room I was in, there isn’t nothing especial, just a wardrobe with some strange symbols, a table with some herbs and bottles, and the bed I was in. This must be some kind of hospital room, I move my hands on the bed to help me stay on a sitting position but the strange man was faster than me and put his arms around my middle and pull me up. “T..Thank you...” I said with a weak voice, he nods and return to his place where he was sitting. With his moves, his hair moves and I notice his pointy ears, a small gasp escape from me, he looks at me with a confused look “What it is?” he asks, I just point to his ears and the to mine, making me look like a confused child. He touches his ears and then smiles to me, making me my knees weak, if I wasn’t on the bed I would fall. “Yes. I’m an elf. Which human village do you live?” with his words my mouth hags open again. DID HE SAID THAT HE’S AN ELF??? AN FUCKING ELF?!? My head was so full on thoughts that I didn’t notice him speaking to me “Hey, it’s okay... you must be traumatized. Did your village was attack by orcs? Your wound was with orc poison, you were lucky that my guards have find you on time. But I must ask you something... what kind of clothes is you are wearing? I never saw those type of clothes in my life?” my head must be fuming with all that information, I look down and remember that I was wearing a black tank top with some cozy green pajama pants. Shit...elves, orcs, humans village. Don’t tell that I'm in Middle-Earth?! This is not possible! I take a deep breath, thinking how in the hell I'm going to say to this elf I'm from another world. “Ahhh...Where am I?...and what is your name if I may ask?” I ask with a timid voice, “Oh Forgive me for my rudeness, My Lady. I’m King Thranduil and you are in my kingdom, Mirkwood. And what’s your name, My Lady?” wait, what?! He is Thranduil??? The Elvenking?! But he seems to be such a sassy bitch in the movies. “Ahh..My name is Y/n... Well what I'm going to say may looks crazy or stupid but...i’m from another world...” there is a long silence in the room, Thranduil face looks emotionless but his eyes stare to mine as if it’s looking for some lie. After a while I begin to feel nervous, rubbing my sweaty hands on my legs. “The poison must have done something to your head.” he says as he starts to walk to the door “Wait! I’m telling the true. Please!!” he stops and look to me with a serious face “You look well enough to go to the dungeons. I can’t have a crazy human, telling that she is from another world.” aaaannnd here is the sassy Thranduil I know, he calls the guards. They enter the room, ready to do what the king want, “Go get the healer to see if this human it’s well. Then take her to the dungeons.” I feel my heart in my mouth, tears falling down my cheeks “Please, you must believe me!” he looks to me with his nose high in the air “I only free you when you say the truth. Until then you will stay in the dungeons.” with that he leaves the room, leaving me crying and begging.

After the healer check on me, the guards grab me roughly and lead me down to the dungeons. One of them let go of my arms to go open the door of my dungeon and then they throw me inside, I fall on the floor, pain runs through me as I touch the cold floor. I drag myself to the iron bars, imploring them to free me but they just look to me with a cold gaze and leave me alone in the dark cell.

I cry myself to sleep, thinking what I did to deserve this. Thinking that this is what my live will be, rotting in a cold dark cell but little did I know that a certain wizard has enter the palace, demanding a meeting with the king, talking about some special human that had arrive to Middle-Earth.

Hey!!!! Hope you like it. This was a request from an anon and I like it so much the idea to do a modern reader in middle earth that I might do a small series. Let me know if you want it or not. Feel free to criticize and English is not my first language so be kind.

My thoughts on Fëanor-

-and false claims that piss me off

See, I have been wanting to just sit down and write things about Fëanor for so long now but I’ve never gotten around to actually doing it. What is the purpose of this? Well mainly as entertainment for my followers, but also to clear up some things that I keep seeing repeated over and over again, and oh how many posts I would reblog on here if only they didn’t take a cheap, unfunny jab at Fëanor - The character I love more than any other in any form of media ever.

I will unfortunately be unable to share actual quotes in this piece. I let my friend borrow my english copy of the Silmarillion and so I only have the swedish version here, which is admittedly HILARIOUS occassionally, but it means that if I have a quote - I will have to translate it for you, so it won’t be exact word for word.

I won’t be talking about the different texts and exact words, but rather misconceptions I’ve seen prodding around about him, and direct arguments I’ve seen come from different parts of the fandom. I see the majority of the Tolkien fandom as the gosh darn best people I’ve ever had the joy of stumbling upon - endless amounts of fan-pieces, whether it’s art, music or writing that never seem to go away. They just get better and better and I love you.

But like I said there are SEVERAL things that are always brought up falsely about Fëanor that I just can’t stand for, sort of like the criticism against Thranduil that ‘OH HE’S JUST A RACIST SHITHEAD AND HE’S WRONG’, when in truth he’s the only actually rational and sane character in the movies.

THAT is the type of things I will bring up here. Read on further if you think it might me amusing. If you decide not to I wish you a pleasant evening/morning/day :D

There are many things one might dislike about Fëanor - Hell one might simply not be interested in him? I have several characters that I couldn’t care less about for no better reason than ‘Meh I guess I just don’t?’.

One might dislike his arrogance - he’s the very definition of ‘Holier-than-thou’ in many ways, and his passion can be off-putting for many. Maybe the whole concept of ‘GREATEST OF THE ELDAR WAS HE’ pisses you off on a sheer principle? That’s all well and good - I dislike Galadriel for the same reason (though I would argue there is no basis to claiming that she’s the GREATEST in any way as she hasn’t really done anything worthy of mentioning, but I digress - that is not what I’m here for, and the malcontent I have with her is mainly because of petty arguments on tumblr).

HOWEVER.

When people lie about Fëanor to support their own dislike of him - I get downright pissed off.

To be more direct - Here are the things I will be discussing in this piece:

He was a bad Father / He ruined his children / He forced his children to swear the oath with him

He left His people to the Helcaraxë

He was to blame for all the kinslayings

There was nothing but fire and greed inside him

All of these are so-called critisisms I’ve seen directed towards him during my years on here. I have not seen many of them on here lately, but it is likely that that’s because I’ve made a point to unfollow and potentially block those who spew nonsense like this.

BUT LET’S ADRESS ALL OF THIS SHALL WE? STRAP IN Y’ALL AND GRAB A SNACK - I’M GOING IN DEEP

He was a bad Father / He ruined his children / He forced his children to swear the oath with him

Mostly inspired by things I keep hearing as well as an anonymous ask I recieved this morning

I love feanor too but he sort of brought tragedy on his children

*the heaviest sigh*

Okay. Just. Gimme a moment.

Okay no.

Here’s the thing: The Silmarillion is filled with questionable forms of parenting. There’s Finwë not understanding what had to be done to deal with Fëanor as a child, there’s Indis also lacking in that understanding, there’s parents that seem to give no shits about their children, hell I love Curufin and I do think he adored Celebrimbor more than anything, but he was a little too damaged to know how to handle him, not to mention the fact that a pair of Kinslayers were better parents than Elwing and Eärendil ever were.

But Fëanor wasn’t one of them. How do I know?

His sons would not have done everything they did unless they loved their father with every fibre of their being. They were not copies of him (aside from Curufin) and to me it seems clear that they were encouraged to follow their heart’s desires rather than strictly follow in his footsteps.

When Nerdanel left - or however that went over - ALL SEVEN OF THEM CHOSE THEIR FATHER. ALL OF THEM. ALL SEVEN.

When Fëanor was distraught and coing crazy with agony over losing his father and the Silmarilli - When he swore that oath - his sons wasted NO TIME in getting up to stand there with him.

They stuck with him through thick and thin, they didn’t hesitate to stand there with him and support him fully. They were a family - a close-knitted one at that - and they adored him. That much is clear.

Just because someone is a biological parent doesn’t earn them any form of respect as a parent, nor any love from their children if they haven’t deserved it. Fëanor was loved by his sons and he loved them dearly - He is one of the few parents in these damn series that deserve the title of ‘Actually great and supportive dad’.

Fëanor did not bring tragedy on his children - let’s all be very clear on that. If anything - tragedy was brought unprovoked onto him and his children, who - by the by - were grown men by the time they left Valinor and swore the Oath

Eru was completely alright with all of this. The Valar were cruel, whether they meant to be or not, and Fëanor was used by Melkor. The fëanorions wanted what was rightfully theirs - what their father and grandfather died for - and the whole world suddenly decided to say ‘Hah fuck no finders keepers shitheads!’.

It can naturally be argued that his death fucked them up, and that he shouldn’t have barged forward to take on Balrogs on his own, but TBH if it fucked over them that bad it only further supports the argument that he was an amazing father that they loved so dearly that they would do literally ANYTHING to get back and honor. Furthermore one could naturally point out that burning ships was a Rude AF thing to do, but to be fair every single one of his sons was in on it aside from Maedhros who suffered the loss of Fingon, but perhaps Fingon would still at least be safe and out of harm’s way in Valinor. Burning the ships was arguably and admittedly very ‘rude’, but it was not an ill action directed towards his people or most importantly his son.

Which brings us beautifully to the second subject....:

He left his people to the Helcaraxë

Except he really didn’t.

He left FINGOLFIN’S people - not his own. Seems minor and pointless perhaps, but I assure you it’s of great importance.

After the kinslaying at Alqualondë it was only natural that tensions would grow unbearable. When people break - when people do terrible things - they often regret them afterwards, become angry and need to find someone to blame it on. Given how Fëanor was their king and that he was the one who encouraged them to leave the cage the Valar had put them in, it would be natural to blame Fëanor for the horrendous act they’d all just committed. Because let me remind you - The Nolofinwëans ALSO took part in the first kinslaying.

Fingolfin’s people had long been - for a lack of a better word - talked shit about Fëanor and his people. Ever since Finwë died and they left the safety of their cage, there had been constant nagging about how Fëanor shouldn’t be their king, how he didn’t deserve it, why did they have to do this, it was too far away, this was going too far by now, Fingolfin should lead instead. And Fëanor - Never having been one for taking anyone’s shit - basically said ‘Oh okay then you can WALK BACK HOME YOU PIECES OF SHIT WE’RE GOING TO MIDDLE-EARTH AND YOU CAN STAY BACK COMFORTABLY HERE’.

FINGOLFIN was the one to insist they cross the Helcaraxë, along with his people. There was the option of returning back to Valinor, which I assume Fëanor would assume that they would do, because after all that’s what they had been complaining about for weeks, wasn’t it? Believe me - I love Fingolfin - and it was an asshole move to burn the ships. But Fëanor didn’t leave his own people to the Helcaraxë - He left Fingolfin and his people to do whatever they wished (as long as it didn’t involved the ships they’d killed for), and they chose to walk along the Helcaraxë.

Did they have much of a choice? Could they return or was it more of a 50-shades kind of situation of ‘OH BUT SHE COULD LEAVE WHENEVER SHE WANTED but really she couldn’t’? Finarfin returned just fine, but then again he hadn’t killed any teleri.

That whole part can certainly be discussed and argued about, but the fact remains that Fëanor did NOT leave his own people to the Helcaraxë - He left Fingolfin’s. The dramatic noldor flare version of ‘IF YOU DON’T STOP COMPLAINING I’LL TURN THIS THING AROUND AND YOU ALL CAN WALK HOME’

He was to blame for all the kinslayings

This is - as we all can see - A clear and obvious fucking lie.

Fëanor died before the sun was created. Fëanor died at the very beginning of the First Age.

He was literally not alive long enough to be blamed for any of the other kinslayings.

He created the silmarillis - he and his sons had the only right to them.

The kinslayings post Alqualondë happened because of incompetent leadership, corruption and betrayals within the good ol’ people of Middle-Earth. Need I mention that the only Fëanorion killed by Melkor’s forces was Fëanor himself? The rest were killed by other elves. Not only that but the fëanorions were known to be diplomats - the strongest war-forces out there to be sure, and warlords for the legends - but the Union of Maedhros wasn’t their fault. The fact that Thingol fucked up and told a human to fetch a Silmaril because this human couldn’t understand a simple metaphor for ‘I will never let you marry my daughter’. Sort of ‘I will let you marry my daughter when Hell freezes over’, and he’d take that seriously? Not that I doubt it - Beren seems like the kind of fella who would barge into Hell with buckets of ice because ‘I WILL BE ALLOWED TO SHAG THE FEMALE ELF IF I DO THIS’.

Wars and conflicts such as the ones that raged through the First Age are NEVER black and white. Never. There is no good guy and there is no bad guy (aside from Melkor, but he wasn’t the ONLY bad guy). There were the Fëanorions and their property, and people who thought that they had the right to them.

Overall bad leadership and simple stupidity as well as over-dramatic elves and kings and humans were to blame for the Kinslayings: Not Fëanor.

That would be like blaming the one who made my phone in case it’d get stolen. “OH IF ONLY YOU HADN’T MADE THIS PHONE THIS WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED”

There was nothing but fire and greed inside him

I saw this written in that one post about why Galadriel giving Gimli three strands of her hair was an amazing scene (which it was because that move was SAVAGE).

This is the only place in which I will quote something word for word in this:

“Even when she was young, Galadriel’s ability to see into other’s hearts was very strong, and she knew that Fëanor was filled with nothing but fire and greed”

*muffled shrieking*

ALRIGHT SO LET’S HAVE A LOOK SHALL WE

To be fair - Galadriel is a child of Indis. That is not to say that Indis herself was bad (even though I literally hold no love for her whatsoever, aside from the fact that she gave us great characters through that womb of hers - good job), but rather that Finwë’s family was very heavily divided and separated by an understandable conflict.

Fëanor - understandably - hates that side of the family. Because of that, because they’ve never been given a chance because they aren’t worth his time - it’s natural that they dislike him in turn.

Galadriel is Finarfin’s child, but acts more like a Noldo than he does. It would be LOGICAL for her to be biased against him. Because of that it wouldn’t be surprising if she saw the passion in him and interpreted it as Fire and Greed because of bias - whether she was aware of it or not.

Fëanor was indeed the greatest elf that has ever existed and ever will exist - greatest in both beauty, mind and strength. He did ask for her hair three times because he wanted to capture it's beauty in gems, but that they inspired the silmarilli? Really? Nah. It might have driven him to create them out of spite, but we have a pretty clear case of stroking Galadriel's ego to deal with here if we are to assume that the SILMARILLI - the very gems that caused most of the tragedy during the First Age - were crafted in her image.

But more than that the phrase "she saw that in his heart there was only fire and greed" pisses me off.

No. There was not. There was passion in his heart. Fëanor lived to create - especially things of beauty. Everything - literally everything about this cocky little shit was about passion and creation. He cared for his people - he wanted to share wonders with the world freely and out of the rule of the Valar/Gods. He wanted freedom and he wanted to create, he has three times too much energy in his soul.

If that is what they mean by "only fire and greed", then yes.

All in all this has been amusing and interesting to write and I hope I’ve made at least some lick of sense to you - the reader.

This was really just a long and complicated way of saying that it is OKAY to dislike a character. Not every character appeals to everyone. There is legit nothing wrong with that.

But I lose respect for people - grownups - who can’t even admit that their reason for disliking someone or something is petty. I cannot respect people who go far enough that they end up lying and making things up just to make themselves seem more sensible and mature, when in all seriousness all it tells me is that someone lacks the self-confidence to admit that ‘Yeah. I like this thing but not that. There’s no reason really, I just thing this thing is neat and that one isn’t because I’m a petty asshat’.

No character - Especially not in a masterpiece like The Silmarillion has perfect characters, only ones with different grey areas in what’s okay and what isn’t. There is nothing wrong in liking some and disliking some. But OWN that. if the reason is petty OWN it. Try to have at least some semblence of confidence and insight to know when you’re being petty and when you aren’t.

We’re a great fandom - I truly and utterly believe that.

I love you

Thranduil rides a stag: Is this Peter Jackson’s or lore?

Today I met this rude boy on LOTRO who insisted that elk mount should be a thing because it’s “lore”. I believe this “elves ride elk” idea is totally make up by Peter Jackson. This boy said it’s in “The Hobbit” (which he “apperently” read 100 times along with 8 other Tolkien’s books) but I do read it too and I only remember a white stag that is like the “spirit” of the wood that the dwarves shot at. Nothing about Thranduil or any elves, ride a stag, or elk, or moose, or anything but horse.

I told him give me a quote, but the boy hissed and ignored me.

So I BEG someone please point me to an actually QUOTE in the BOOKS, any book by Tolkiens that said elf ride elk or moose. Thank you!
