[A Wattpad FEATURED story!] She's been King Thranduil's close friend for a long time. But when a shocking rumor about his past comes to light, it shakes her entire world. How well does she really know him? With the threat of war and an uncertain future for the Woodland Realm, her comfortable life is changing forever, and so are her feelings for her friend. A story about second chances with eventual romance. Set during the events of the Lord of the Rings. Thranduil/OC Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Tolkien except for my characters. A/N: It was before Christmas 2014 when I first watched BBC's Emma with Romola Garai (wonderful, by the way - watch it if you haven't). A few days later I went to see The Hobbit BOTFA on its opening night. It was during a car trip from a family Christmas party when I came up with idea for this story. And while it doesn't follow the Jane Austen classic completely (Thranduil is no Mr. Knightley!), it was certainly inspired by it. I enjoyed the challenge. Check out the FB page for the story: facebook.com/StarsofVardafanpage/ (thanks to @MaggieShivers for creating it and running it!)

While at his cousin Dains, Thorin finds a Broken witch in his dungeons. She tells him that he needs her for his journey to be successful. She joins the company, adding perils and defeating some, all while trying to cling to her own sanity.

Melody Claw is the last remaining member of the Faerie race. They have been wiped out so long they are nothing but a myth to the people of middle-earth. Fairies are smaller than hobbits, but gain height back by flying and floating constantly. They are extremely powerful beings, much more than wizards. They have hidden powers and talents, though Melody's small and fragile appearance causes Thorins doubts...and interest.

In the most unlikely of places love begins to blossom... The calloused man and the rebellious young girl. Could this be any more cliché? Perhaps if you throw a few dwarves, a hobbit, and a wizard into the mix you might find yourself in the middle of an epic romance.

Selene escaped from Azog's hold, but with little memory of who or what she is. When by chance (or not at all) she comes across the path of Gandalf the Grey, her life is changed forever. What will a quest with thirteen dwarves and a hobbit reveal about her past and possibly her future?

Brynja is half skin-changer and half elf, she looks like any ordinary girl except she has pointy ears and can turn into a snow leopard. She was tortured as a young child and lost her family. Gandalf found her and took her in, now she is on a journey with 13 dwarves and a hobbit. On the way she learns many things and discovers things about others and herself she never knew before.

With exile and loss engraved deeply in his soul, Thorin Oakenshield has turned into a bitter and cantankerous fellow. Anger being his constant companion, he travels through Middle Earth with the weight of responsibility crushing him. As he and his Company go on a quest to save Erebor, will he find redemption in the form of Laurel Took or is he destined to wallow in solitude and misery?
