Chapter VI: From Mirkwood to Eryn Lasgalen: Legolas’ Return (Pt. II)

“I mounted my horse and looked around to see elven soldiers proudly awaiting my command.  At my side waited Celeborn smiling serenely.

“Shall we,” he asked.

I smiled in return, motioned to move forward. As our procession began it’s slow move home, I looked back at the smoldering ruins of what was once Dol Guldur. Though it would be a long time before it would once again resemble Amon Lanc, the darkness was gone from my kingdom forever.

For a time, we traveled in silence—each of us savoring the victory filled the air and fell over the whole of Arda. As we made our way closer to the palace, a faint sound of cheers was heard.

“Word still travels quickly among our people,” Celeborn remarked.

“It is just as well,” I said. “We return victorious as I told Galadriel we would.”

“Seems Galadriel is not the only one with the gift of foresight,” he said.

“Not so much foreseen as promised, Celeborn.”

As we came to the path leading to the bridge, my kingdom welcomed us with glorious fanfare. Under a shower of flower petals. I could see my court waiting for us joyfully on the bridge. Galadriel stood before them with Nenduîl and Tárimë. As we stopped, I dismounted as they came running to me.

“Ada,” they squealed as I knelt down to embrace them.

“You are home,” Tárimë said.

“Yes, I am,” I answered, as I noticed they were dressed in their finest court attire. “And how did you manage to greet me dressed so elegantly?”

“Lady Galadriel,” Nenduîl said pouting. “She told us it would please you.”

“I am well pleased,” I said as I saw Galadriel approaching as Celeborn and the rest of the princes began to great their loved ones. I stood up and bowed to her.

“You must be weary,” she said embracing Celeborn. “Let our warriors take their rest before we return home, if they may, Thranduil.”

“Of course,” I said. “Fëaluin, prepare the court for celebration if you will.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” he said smiling, his wife Linurial in his arms. “It would be my pleasure.”

As everyone made their way into the palace, I remained behind with Nenduîl and Tárimë.

“Tell me, children,” I began. “Did you mind yourselves while I was away?” “I did,” Tárimë said. “I cannot say the same for my brother.”

“I was well-behaved,” Nenduîl said defensively. “Much more than my sister.”

“If I were to ask Galadriel, what would she say to me?”

There was a moment of silence and I could not help myself but to laugh. I took each by the hand and head inside the palace. I was happy and home again.

Inside, the twins went their way and I made my way into my study where waited the many faces of my lifetime. To thunderous applause I was received. I approached Celeborn as he stood beside Galathil, Eärmîr, Haldir, Rúmil and Orophin. We stood for a moment looking at one another as the praise subsided. It was then that we embraced one another. Cheers returned again—the sound rising louder than the falls behind us.

“Let no more time fall between us now that darkness has fallen from the rest of our days,” I said. “It is a day I never thought I would see but for my father I am his eyes from the grave. He would be proud.”

“Yes, he would, Thranduil,” Celeborn said. “Tonight we celebrate and tomorrow you will face the world as King of Eryn Lasgalen.”

“What,” I said taken aback. “What are you saying?”

Celeborn smiled as Galathil patted me on the shoulder.

“You were never one to take anything without bewilderment,” Galathil said. “Or so I have been told.”

“Yes, I am afraid my cousin is often taken aback,” I heard Elranduil say as he approached. “Good news or bad, it does take him a moment to find the words to say anything.”

“Well, then. He has the rest of the evening to find his words,” Celeborn said. “In the meantime, I believe your court is being prepared for celebration and I shall take my leave to do likewise.”

I never heard the study empty nor had I realized I had regained my kingdom. It was a moment I would never forget—after so long under the curse of Sauron, I had come full circle to see my kingdom through sorrow and pain to joy and peace.

For as long as there is a kingdom to rule, you will. My father’s words rang true—as I heard them spoken once more from my heart.

“Thranduil,” I heard my name called. I turned to see Nimlos. “Yes,” I asked. “What is it?”

“Time to get ready for the celebration,” he said. “You are not going like that, are you?”

I looked down at myself. I was still in my armor—stained with dirt and the dried blood of orcs.

“I could use a change of wardrobe,” I answered. “And a bath.”

I went to my bath and noticed I was alone. I looked forward to having a moment to myself. After my armor was removed, my dressers left to prepare my wardrobe for the evening. Once in the bath, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and felt myself release all the tension of the day.

“You never cease to amaze me,” I heard a voice say to me.

“Elranduil,” I answered. “Who allowed you in here?”

“Amusing, Thranduil,” he answered. I opened one eye to see him sitting nearby in his robe and fresh from his bath. “I wanted to see to your well-being.”

“What do you want,” I asked.

“Not a thing,” he answered. “Though father wanted to know how you were. You seemed beyond his reach for a moment What is on your mind?”

“I am in need of rest is all,” I answered as I closed my eye. “Nothing more. Uncle mustn’t worry himself although I am quite sure it is you that would like to know more.”

“No,” he said. “Though your son wishes to speak with you before tonight’s celebration.”

I opened my eyes and sat up.

“Tarthôn,” I asked. “Is something the matter?”

“Not at all,” Elranduil answered. “He is quite well. There is no hurry. He is with Ëariâth just now. He has something he wishes to tell you. He refuses to tell anyone but you.”

“I have raised him well, then,” I said reclining once more. “He knows you can never keep a secret.”

“I can so,” he said rising. “I kept many of your secrets. Is it my fault Ardúin could get them from me? She can be quite persuasive.”

“She is not persuasive, Elranduil. You are afraid of her.”

“I am not,” he began as a servant entered and bowed.

“Yes,” I asked.

“I was sent by Her Highness, Princess Ardúin,” he said quietly. “She wishes for His Highness Prince Elranduil to join her immediately.” “Tell her I shall be with her in a moment,” Elranduil said. “Now, Elranduil,” a voice came from across the room. It was Ardúin. I could not help but laugh.

“If you will excuse me,” Elranduil said. “My wife requires my presence.”

He hurried away with the servant. I took another moment to enjoy my solitude until I rang for servants to come. I stepped out of my bath and was dried and dressed in a robe and I made my way to my room. The guards opened my door and I entered. A moment later, my dressers entered and began to prepare me for the night. I was placed in the colors of spring—rich greens with silver embroidered leaves on my coat. A knock came to my door.

“Enter,” I said as one servant began combing my hair. It was Tarthôn with Aranduil close behind.

“You have a shadow with you, son,” I said.

Tarthôn turned and picked up his grandson.

“Well what do you know,” he said. “How did you come upon me, Aranduil?”

“I followed you,” he said. “I wanted to come.”

“I think he wanted to see you as much as I did,” Tarthôn said. “You look fine this evening, Ada.”

“As do you,” I said noticing he was already dressed for the evening. “Elranduil said you wished to tell me something.”

“Yes,” he began. “There was word from Gondor.”

“Gondor,” I asked. “What of it?”

“Legolas has survived the war,” he said. “He is there with Aragorn. I was told of it before we left Dol Guldur. It would appear Legolas sent a messenger ahead of the news.”

I turned slowly toward Tarthôn—who was straightening Aranduil’s little buttons on his robe. When he looked up, his face was smiling as brightly as my own must have been.

“This is wonderful news,” I said. “Wonderful. I have both of my sons and I could not ask for more.”

“Me,” Aranduil said angrily. “I am here too.”

“Yes,” I said. “You are here as well, Aranduil. How could I have forgotten?”

In overwhelming joy, I embraced them both. I knew I would see my sons together again some day soon.”--Excerpt from TKWR Book III: To Eryn Lasgalen by J.M.Miller 04-26-17

thorin/bilbo: 

Sansûkh by determamfidd The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

Comes Around Again by scarletjedi Gimli closes his eyes, an old Dwarf on the brink of death in the home he had built with his husband in the Undying Lands, and opens them again as a young Dwarf in his childhood home in Ered Luin. He's returned to the tumultuous week before The Company set out to recruit their Burglar from his cosy hobbit hole. Gimli, once again a impetuous teen in the eyes of his family, must get into that Company--the lives of his loved ones, and the very fate of Middle Earth--depends on it.

It was a tragedy of deep import."Gimli grew serious; he sat up and looked at Elrond for a long moment with grave, dark eyes. “Forgive me, Lord Elrond, but I don’t think you would. Be happy, I mean, when you heard our account of the thing."

Victory Braids by smilebackwards When Gimli brings home an elf with dwarven promise braids in his hair, Glóin is forced to come to the painful conclusion that his beloved son took one too many blows to the head during the many illustrious battles he’d fought in the war.

The Hobbit: DOS: The Appendices, Part 10 (3/4)

It’s Friday so it’s time for our watch party again!

The Hobbit group (aka the Dwarf Lovers aka The Cult of Saint Bofur) is back with The Hobbit Behind the Scenes rewatch!

Tolkien was fascinated by dragons and the old dragon tales. Tolkien was a fanfic writer - discuss. He started the Smaug smut fanfic tropes tolkien was canonically a furry Tolkien would play Dragon Age tolkien would also play Skyrim

Some early Smaug designs were weird...

“What do u want? I’m on my smoke break”

“am a sneaky boi”

Not sure why, but we also discussed PJ’s minimalistic style PJ has only three shirts And two cardigans One mug And no hair brush Marie Kondo would have been proud of him

Fake Smaug = a dragon-shaped kite in the beginning of AUJ he attacked Dale and Erebor because he was offended by that kite the gold was an excuse to make him look more badass and so other dragons wouldn't make fun of him He's that guy who is like 'Y'all made fun of me. Well, guess who's rich now!' on homecoming party

Benedict Cumberbatch is acting the hell out of Smaug. That’s how Sherlock looks like when he takes the heroin.

Some Smaug designs were based on bats and... well, chickens. Smaug being a giant chicken, hmmm chickens: are we a joke to you? Well birds are descended from dinosaurs xD Like, imagine that. Bilbo expects something scary. And then there's a chicken. And he looks at Thorin like THIS IS YOUR NEMEZIS?!

John Howe used his hands to model Smaug’s “hand” gestures So Smaug could do finger guns!

but how does smaug know thorin? Dragon gossip "Did you hear about Oakenshield? Let me tell you about Thorin Oakenshield. He stabbed me in the chest once. It was awesome." "He does the shampoo commercials. In Shire" "Thats why his hair is so big its full of secrets" "And Thranduil is in his Burn Book"

OH MAHAL Thorin appears on screen! 0.5 seconds of Thorin, I'm happy now. I SAW THORIN *faints*

The sound specialist's 7-yo daughter is the person who gave Smaug his roar Smaug confirmed as female It’s official canon now Imagine writing "Smaug dubbing" in your CV

Horny crocodile sounds = Smaug sounds no wonder he was so mad That's why he's so grumpy. He just needs to get laid The whole villain origin story all the gold was to impress females Go on Bilbo. Take one for the team

Time for a ship hell: Smaug x Bilbo or Smaug x Thorin?  who was he horny for? That's smaug x bard erasure! ship name: Smard

Time for some Beorn makeup. Beorn's beard is basically Dwalin's beard so that's what happpened to Dwalins head hair!

dream jobs: dwarf waterer and beorn scrubber Lemme get that for you Mr O’Gorman Pls pls lemme wipe that up Mr Armitage Your muscles look really sore Mr Turner... Do you mind? Nono no need Mr Turner I can clean that up right away 🧽

Laketown. What is the first thing we notice?

THORIN!!! His hair. wet!Thorin! I love how the majority of this server are Thorin stans <3

Just look at Bilbo’s face. The grossest ship in the whole trilogy: Laketown Master x Alfrid (ew) Pheew! There no fics on AO3 with this pairing!

Bard's clothes were supposed to be inspired by the eastern/ Tibetan clothing Bard - Aragorn made in China

Sigrid and Tilda are played by James Nesbitt's daughters. Behold, Saint Bofur cuteness!!!

@runaljod ASKED: i'd move all the stars in the sky if i thought it would ever make you happy. " ( for thranduil from his nature husband 🥺 )

‘ IS THAT SO ?? I’d quite like to see that . . . ’ He knows the other JESTS , though perhaps there was the hint of curiosity in Thranduil’s tone. He remained ever in awe of the other’s abilities. And at times , breathtakingly so. Perhaps it was not so staggering to imagine Magni reaching up and plucking stars from the sky just for him. ( He can almost imagine it . . . ). 

‘ It indeed would be quite the fitting homecoming gift. Though at the risk of disrupting the resting souls who lay among them , I must insist you leave the stars in their place . . . ’ Sparkling blue eyes glitter with amusement as he draws closer to the other. An ever present mischievous grin.

‘ . . . bring me the sun , and I’ll reinstate our betrothal . . . ’

Day One: Family

A fic for Tolkien Gen Week about Thranduil seeing his father in Valinor :)

Homecoming

His excitement and his dread increased in tandem as Middle Earth fell behind and the Bay of Eldamar came within his sights. Legolas gasped and the other elves on the boat began to whisper excitedly among themselves but Thranduil stayed silent, his fingernails making small scratches in the smooth railing of the ship. 

Some, like Arwen, Elladan, and Elrohir knew what to expect when they docked in the bay, as Lady Celebrían had sailed hundreds of years beforehand and their adar Elrond left Middle Earth after Sauron’s ring was destroyed. Others had family long departed whom they hoped to see among the small crowd amassed on the docks and nearby land. Thranduil? Thranduil did not know what would be waiting for him, or rather, who would be waiting, if anyone. Years of disappointment and loss had made him cynical and bitter to outsiders, though he loved his son and his own people openly. 

The temptation for him to retreat into his cold facade to protect himself from the inevitable sadness he would feel was nearly irresistible, that was, until he felt a gentle hand rest on his arm. Thranduil looked over to see his son staring at him, concern shining in his onyx eyes. The long days on the boat under the hot summer sun had tanned Legolas’ tawny beige skin while his own sandy complexion was tinged with pink and tingled. He felt a twinge in his heart at the sight of him, as he was reminded of Legolas’ naneth and his beloved wife Amdirchan. His loose blonde hair fluttered in the wind and tickled his cheeks. He sighed and half-heartedly pushed it out of his face only for it to fall in front of his eyes once more. Thranduil growled in frustration and reached up to grab the stray locks only to feel his son’s nimble fingers threading themselves through his hair and pulling it back into what felt like a long braid. Once done, Legolas stepped back by his side, his own inky black hair tied back in the simple warrior braids he had worn for thousands of years. 

“What is bothering you, ada? Every other elf is celebrating but you have been lost in thought for a great deal of this journey,” Legolas said, his voice was light and his lips curled into a small smile as he finished speaking. “It is too late to jump off the boat and swim back. I believe Ulmo would deposit you back here, albeit you would be soaked and it would be unpleasant for everyone involved.” 

“That is true, though I could always simply ask him for a ride to shore and avoid the pomp and circumstance sure to come with our arrival,” Thranduil replied. His son’s teasing remark was not a half-bad idea now that he thought about it, though he was sure that Celeblasdes and Galdis would kill him for it. 

“Is that what this is about? Or is it about something else entirely?” Legolas asked as his voice dropped to a whisper.

He was grateful for his son’s concern but Thranduil did not want to drag him into his own problems, especially ones that spanned back so far. 

“Is it about haru?” Thranduil could not help but look at his son in surprise after that response, confirming the elf’s suspicions. “What about haru, ada?” 

Thranduil had told his son many things about his late haru and haruni, though every story seemed to be tainted with his father’s sadness over their deaths. It was impossible to know if they had been reborn, and even then, it was said that many elves were never the same and the idea was widely believed despite the lack of evidence corroborating this claim. Haruni had died in the early First Age in an orc attack while his own ada was very young, while haru had been killed during the War of the Last Alliance. His ada had seemed at peace with haruni’s death, though haru’s death was one that he was never able to bring himself to discuss. When Legolas became curious about his family history, he went to Celeblasdes and Galdis for answers about his late haru, as it was hard for his ada to talk about him without tears spilling from his eyes. 

“Where is Gimli?” His father changed the subject with little to no tact, though he wished to take his mind off of his father and saw it as his best option. 

“Erestor is telling him about the times he visited Belegost while Glorfindel braids Gimli’s hair. He has not killed him yet, so I assume that he does not mind the elven braids being woven into his hair as we speak.” Legolas lowered his voice for a moment, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “He wants to look nice for Lady Galadriel,” his son whispered, grinning. 

The dwarf had been infatuated with the Lady since he met her in Lothlórien over a hundred years before. The mention of her name was enough to make him blush while he fixed the beads in his beard regardless of what company was already in his presence. It was rather entertaining. Thranduil shook his head and laughed at the memory of his antics, though he quieted quickly when the elves on the ship began to whisper excitedly once more as the ship rocked and the shore came closer. Legolas frowned at the sight of his father so disturbed, as while he had his suspicions about the source of his sadness his father would not tell him what it was. 

Another moment passed before Thranduil sighed and bowed his head, catching his son’s attention. “It is about your haru, ion nin,” he murmured. “I cannot help but wonder if he will be among the elves there to greet us upon arrival.” He had prayed for his father to be released from the Halls of Mandos in a timely fashion, though he did not know if said prayers were answered. Faith in the Valar besides Yavanna had always been in short-supply for him. 

Still, a part of him could not help but hope that his father had returned from the Halls and was waiting for him like Thranduil had waited for his father to come home despite knowing that it would never happen. 

He was shaken out of his musings by a pair of arms wrapping around his waist and Legolas resting his chin on his shoulder. “I believe he will be there, ada. If not, haru shall be there eventually and we will be there to support him,” his son said. 

Perhaps Legolas was right. They would find out soon enough, as the ship had just pulled into the bay and the harbor was within their sights. It was impossible to tell if his father was there, as the crowd on the docks and the surrounding shore was massive and he could only pick out a few familiar faces in the crowd. Gil-Galad stood on the shore with Vórime as well as Elrond, Celebrían, Galadriel, Celeborn,  and-

Thranduil’s heart leapt into his throat and he choked back a sob at the sight of his father’s long silver hair.

“Is that haru?” Legolas asked, his eyes also fixated on the figure making his way through the crowd of elves to the edge of the docks. 

“Yes, that is your haru and my adar, Las,” Thranduil responded with a smile. The ship docked and elves rushed off and into the embrace of family and friends. Gimli walked in the direction of Galadriel while Erestor was swept into a teary-eyed embrace by his sister and the children of Elrond were reunited with their adar and naneth. 

Once the exodus of elves from the ship had slowed, Thranduil and Legolas departed the vessel and stood on the dock, unsure of how to approach Oropher until the elf took the first step. He walked up to Thranduil but remained silent, a blank expression on his face as he examined the two elves before him. Tears welled up in his eyes as he took in the sight of his son and grandson standing before him and he shook his head before tearfully whispering “ion nin.” 

Thranduil let out a sob and ran into his father’s arms, fully breaking down when Oropher carded his fingers through the long silky hair and undid the braid from before. “Ada, you’re here. You’re alive,” he cried, barely aware of his son joining the embrace and rubbing his free hand on his father’s back. 

“I am so sorry, ion nin. You and our people paid for my mistake in the war and I cannot begin to apologize. I did not want to leave you, but-” 

“I know, ada. I know,” Thranduil responded. When his tears dried, he pulled away from his father and wrapped an arm around his son who moved closer to him. “I want to introduce you to Legolas, your grandson.” 

 Oropher smiled at Legolas who quickly reciprocated, clearly excited to meet his haru. “I am honored to meet you, Legolas. The tales of your valor reached Valinor soon after the end of the War of the Ring, and I was beyond proud to hear that my grandson was helping save the world,” he said smoothly, though his eyes reflected the mixture of nervousness and excitement he felt. 

Thranduil watched his son smooth out his braids and brush invisible dust off of his clothes before finally summoning the courage to respond. “Thank you, haru. It was the culmination of the effort of all elves, men, dwarves, and other beings that made it possible for us to finally bring Mordor to its knees.” 

 Oropher moved closer to Legolas and tentatively wrapped an arm around his shoulder, smiling in happiness when the other elf moved closer. “Tell me all about yourself, young one. It is a long walk back to my talan,” he said. Needing no further encouragement, the elf launched into one of his favorite stories about his childhood while his haru listened attentively, occasionally looking back at his own son. Thranduil found himself unable to wipe the smile off of his face. For the first time in his life, he felt completely at peace. 

@tolkiengenweek

[warrioreowynofrohan]

I recently found your blog, and I absolutely adore your takes on Tolkien's themes and characters! May I ask Thranduil for character thoughts?

Thank you so much! It’s been a joy to have a chance to engage with the wider Tolkien fandom.

Fair notice - I haven’t read most of the HoME material that deals with the Second Age, so my opinions here are mainly based on The Hobbit.

My opinions on Thranduil: Thranduil’s a fairly complex character. At heart he’s a good person, as we see from him making a priority out of assisting the men on Esgaroth when he learns that they’re in need after the town’s destruction. And he’s less inclined than either Thorin or Bard to fight over Smaug’s hoard (though he also has no valid claim to it, unlike them; but once he learns Thorin is alive, he doesn’t make any claim, either; from that point he’s just there as support for Bard).

On the other hand, it doesn’t say a great deal for Thranduil that he sent his army after the dragon-treasure in the first place without having any kind of valid claim on it. (As opposed to Bard, who even Thorin acknowledges as having some valid claim both as dragon-slayer and as heir to the throne of Dale, even if Thorin doesn’t have any regard for the - in my view very valid - claim that the lake-men are destitute as a result of the dwarves provoking the dragon in the first place.) Nor does Thranduil appear to have any apparent use for the treasure besides, well, having it (whereas for the Dwarves its their heritage and the means to resstablish their kingdom, and for the Men it’s the means to reestablish Dale and their means to rebuild Esgaroth and, in the short term, their means of not starving over the winter.)

But I would need to know more about ancient mythology to have a clearer sense of the degree to which a dragon hoard is regarded as stolen property vs being regarded as, basically, free loot.

Thranduil’s most obvious negative quality is that he’s very clearly bigoted against dwarves. Use of the Forest Road isn’t trespassing (Gandalf knows enough about the various realms of Middle-earth to know, if it was, and try to make some arrangements), and there’s little to no case to imprison the dwarves simply for being lost, when it would be easy enough to just send them out of his realm and on to Esgaroth. He’s treating Thorin & Company harshly based on previous grievances against different and entirely unrelated dwarves, which is pretty much the definition of bigotry. It’s interesting because he actually has a fair bit in common with them - compare the transition from Greenwood to Mirkwood with the transition from Khazad-dum to Moria, as a once-beautiful realm becomes known as a place of darkness and fear.

The later friendship between Legolas and Gimli is exactly what he deserves (and might do him some good, in the long run).

Thranduil’s (and his peoples’) dislike of the Noldor is far more justifiable, as the surviving Noldor are close kin to the people he has grievances against. And it stands out (in Unfinished Tales’ History of Galadriel and Celeborn Appendix B) that he and his people acculturate to the Avarin silvan elves’ style of life, rather than vice versa, and are much more closely tied to Middle-earth than the other Elves of Beleriand are. It’s interesting to think about the elves for whom Valinor feels more like an exile than a homecoming, and makes me rather sad. I think it’s something Thranduil had in common with Celeborn.

(On a lighter note, he’s evidently fond of strong wines. Entertaining side theory on the movies: when Legolas wins Gimli’s drinking contest, it’s not because elves can’t get drunk. [We know from The Hobbit that they can!] It’s just that the wine Legolas grew up drinking was so strong that the Rohirrims’ beer might as well be water as far as he’s concerned.)

Ships: I don’t have any; we’re given no detail on his wife and I don’t have any skill at imagining OCs.

Platonic relationship: No strong feelings on this, but I would be interested in the relationship between him and Thingol once Thranduil finally arrived in Valinor. I imagine Thranduil would be rather less than pleased about his son’s choice of companions, and that Thingol would have some hard-learned advice about the unwisdom of dictating who your children can care about.

The relationship’s also interesting in a literary sense because when Tolkien was writing The Hobbit it seems like he basically inserted little bits of the Silmarillion into it with less attention to historical continuuty than he used in later works like LOTR (since The Hobbit was a much lighter work and not fully integrated into his universe), with the effect that the text in some places essentially conflates Thranduil with Thingol. (“In ancient days they had had wars with some of the dwarves, whom they accused of stealing their treasure. It is only fair to say that the dwarves gave a different account, and said that they only took what was their due, for the elf-king had bargained with them to shape his raw gold and silver, and had afterward refused to give them their pay.” It’s easy to read this as an early version of the Fall of Doriath.) This is helped along by the fact that Thranduil is never named in The Hobbit. So we get a Thranduil whose personality, and realm, and dwelling recall Thingol, Doriath, and Menegroth. (In-universe, thus can be read as a deliberate homage to their lost realm, and two people with similar personalities.)

Unpopular opinion: I really, deeply dislike the Thranduil-is-Maglor crack theory (along with its companion, the Arkenstone-is-a-Silmaril crack theory), especially since we have actual canon on the character.

Something I wish had/did happen with them in canon: I do hope he eventually found somewhere in Valinor that could feel like home.

a fic i won’t write

thranduil is jus trying to be supportive bc he hasn’t heard from legolas in a hot minute and now suddenly legolas wants to come visit again? obvs thranduil is trying to play it cool (nobody knows how to tell him that “playing it cool” usually just comes across as being a distant and disapproving father) and he sends a letter that’s like “that will be fine” and he erases the exclamation points he wants to add

he also starts fixing up the place a little bit (more horse shoe decals on the walls) and starts trying to get more deets on legolas’s bf, who legolas is bringing along with him. how can nobody know who this dude is?? “elf natalie do you know who the fuck legolas’s love is?” “no mr. your elf highness. heard he was in the fellowship tho??”

thranduil is now 100% convinced that legolas is shacking up with aragorn. he’s not about to discourage homewrecking (he is not a hypocrite usually) but he also doesn’t know how to publically support legolas’s relationship w/o starting a full on war with the reunited kingdom (and arwen always seemed like such a nice girl?? who thranduil doesn’t want to be enemies with??). he’s a little stressed out abt it 

the day arrives. thranduil is sitting like a respectable power gay at his throne w one leg thrown up over the side, holding a glass of nice wine for his nerves. he’s going over some last minute prep for the homecoming feast and then the throne room door is kicked open. legolas is standing there holding a dwarf’s hand.

legolas: you thought i was fucking aragorn??

thranduil: drops his crystalline wine glass

On Adventures and Other Forms of Conduct Unbecoming of a Wizard by manic_intent (universe alteration, everyone lives, bagginshield; drama, friendship, action/adventure, supernatural, romance) in which the wizard kemendil, also known as bilbo, of bag end, in hobbiton, is enticed coerced out of the staid comfortable life he’s made for himself in the shire

Again by alkjira (universe alteration, time travel, fix-it, bagginshield; humour, drama, angst) there’s fuckery afoot (fili and kili, however, would prefer to observe it from a safe distance, in this case)

I don’t think I’m missing anybody! 

Also considering something fun and kinky with Erestor. I have a distinct lack of Thranduil requests which is a surprise so if somebody has a craving let me know. Also constantly obsessed with Elrond, naturally. 

Current ideas spinning on a roasting pan in my brain:

dom!Erestor giving the reader as many orgasms as they can take and making the reader count

Elrond/Lindir/Reader (but no specific thoughts so if somebody is interested hmu with a prompt. I read Lindir as being very subby). 

Thranduil. Just, Thranduil. 

There’s also the Maedhros anon! If you still want something hmu. 

[blairsanne]

Answering honestly, what do you really think of your writing? I think it's serviceable for fanfiction but I don't think it would fit the publishing world's needs. I try really hard, and I think it's okay. Not the worst, but not the greatest.

What made you want to start writing fanfiction? When I started as a kid, it was just to sort of live in that world, do self-insert to escape my reality a little more. When I started up again last year it was the crushing disappointment of the end of the third Hobbit movie (which I had watched for the very first time ever). I wanted to write to "fix" this, lmao.

How many fandoms have you written for? Not all posted here but: Sailor Moon, Big Wolf on Campus, Miraculous Ladybug, Ouran High School Host Club, Almighty Johnsons, Rise of the Guardians, Encanto, The Hobbit, Critical Role, Pirates of the Caribbean, Legend of Zelda, Romeo & Juliet... That's all that actually got words to page, so: 12!

Comparing your first work to your current work, do you feel like you’ve improved any? Loads, but again I've been writing for decades, lol. Comparing even just last year's stuff I see improvement.

Which do you prefer writing: one/two-shots or multi-chapter fics? Uhhh... things that are intended to be short but end up long seems to be what keeps happening so that?

What’s the WIP/finished work you wish people would ask you about? Goddess of Sex. Not because I think what's up is particularly amazing, but because I have so much plot planned/partly-written through to post-S3 and if I can get it out maybe people will enjoy it.

What’s the WIP/finished work that you usually get asked about instead? Uhhh... Lofn I guess! ♥ People seem curious about that one. Which is good because it's the one consuming my brain right now. I love them.

Which character(s) is easiest to write about? Anders Johnson.

Which character(s) is hardest to write about? Thranduil. IDK how this is my most popular fic.

What’s your favorite scene you have written? Maybe the scene in An Unexpected Blue Wizard where Andréa gives Kili a massage using her magic.

What’s your favorite line you have written? I have no idea, my brain blanked out completely. I think I just forgot everything I've ever written.

Describe your writing process from the first moment you have an idea to the finished project. Something twigs an idea for a scene, sometimes just an emotional vibe, then I listen to music and putter around thinking about it. Then I open a Google Doc and make myself all sort of notes and write any snippets of scenes/dialogue I have come up with and try to make a chronological plan of the thoughts/ideas. Then I write the scenes in whatever order they will work with me in. Then when it's like 90% done I spend a week or eight agonizing about the little bits of sinew I still need to write to string it all together into a cohesive story.

What’s the weirdest fic idea you’ve ever come up with? For 24-hour Comic Day I tried to do a comic about Zelda, Ganon and Link as priests of the goddesses where Zelda and Ganon were siblings, and Ganon's grief over Link's death made him abuse his power and become the demon Ganon we're familiar with. Zelda sacrificed herself to stop him and wished that the three of them could be reborn to meet again. (This was before I knew the plot of Skyward Sword, it was like an alternate origin story of their cyclical reincarnations.)

What’s the most “out-of-the-box” fic idea you’ve ever come up with? I'm not sure what this means? I Googled it and the closest idea I have is that it means something that's just immediately ready to go? So... Maybe Warm? I got a request and immediately had a whole idea and then just wrote it and I've never had something come so easily to me.

If you were going to create a prequel/sequel/spin-off to one of your stories, for which fic and what would it be about? I'm stumped because most of mine are still ongoing right now. I think I'd do a sequel to Homecoming where Reader and Bofur just have fun smutty times now that the angst is done with.

What writing goals do you have for yourself this year? I want to put out as much of Goddess of Sex and An Unexpected Blue Wizard as I can, since there's so much written and not posted for both of them already. But generally just... write whatever I feel like and post it and have fun.

If a brand new writer came up to you, what advice would you have for them? Write as much as you can. Write before you think you're ready. You get better by writing, not by thinking about how great your writing might one day be. Don't worry too much about your writing being perfect, because it won't be - but keep writing anyway. When you meet a wall, go learn about the thing you're struggling with. Fandom is a great place to get support.

Ever Since Steve Rogers became Captain America, Hydra has been experimenting day and night to create the next miracle serum. They had almost given up hope when a pregnant woman, desperate for money, offered herself and her unborn child for the experimental treatments. The woman died but her child lived. They named her Rosaline Hawthorne and kept her in a separate facility until her powers an abilities could be determined. They didn't see any unusual developments until puberty, when she destroyed the entire building. She escaped during the chaos and has been living on the streets ever since. Her 15-year-old life is nothing more than omega suppressors and odd jobs, that is, until she's been invited to the Avenger's H.Q warming.
