You've undoubtedly heard the tale of Robin Hood, but what if I was to tell you they got it all wrong? First of all, Robin is female. {All characters other than my own belong to J. R. R. Tolkien}

Cyndaris is traveling with the company of Thorin Oakenshield. She swore that she would help him get his throne back no matter what. But she comes into a bump in the road, with a certain other King.

Thranduil is often seen as a cold, hard, uncaring elf who is incapable of feeling love. In reality, he is broken inside from the loss of his wife, and never learned to deal with it properly, burying his emotions deep within himself and not allowing himself to feel anything at all. When he finds a girl with remarkable abilities, will she be able to heal his wounds? Will he learn to have faith in others again? I do not lay claim to any of J.R.R Tolkien or Peter Jackson's work, the only things I own are the parts of the storyline that I created and the characters I created.

^^The cover picture is from weheartit.com This is a story based on a Tumblr request I received asking if I would write a Thranduil story based on "Beauty and the Beast." It is a reader insert! It deviates a bit from the original story. I do not own any Hobbit characters. They belong to J.R.R Tolkien. Characters I do own: Genyc Cellyn Calilmal Elebridith (I will be updating this list as I write) I use http://www.arwen-undomiel.com/elvish/phrases.html for the Elvish translations.

[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!)

(Legolas x male oc ) Elinaruil, son of the legendary Gil-Galad, has kept himself in hiding for most of his life, afraid of the darkness of Sauron that still lurks throughout Middle Earth. When the fellowship is formed, he joins under the false name Selvin in hopes of being free from living in secret and to avenge the death of his parents. Yet with the fellowship he gets far more than he bargains for in meeting the elf that is Legolas Greenleaf and the secret that forms between them. *** This story contains a good amount of references to lore from the Silmarillion and other works by Tolkien. You don't need to know any of it understand the story. It will all be explained throughout it. Enjoy!

'Doomed sleep until the time When it is right to awaken Unaware of the mountain she must climb Her past, present, and future forced to be forsaken, The maiden sleeps, unwilling to stir Until the loud, blaring horn, causing the ground to be shaken, Raises her from the dead, and into action she is spurred.' When a young girl wakes up in the middle of a forest in the company of a strange, hooded figure who claims to be her guide, she is unaware of what to do. She cannot recall how she got there, why she might be there, or even what her own name is. Unsure and afraid, she must force herself to trust the unusual man to lead her across Middle Earth to Lothlórien, where it is said that the lady Galadriel can give her answers about her identity and her purpose, which could very well change the course of her world's history.

Cursed elleth. Dragon. Thranduil. You finish the puzzle. residenthobbit49 :) Note: I am in the midst of editing the final couple of chapters - just in case the writing style suddenly seems different! Bear with me - but I still hope you enjoy it :)

AFTER the Battle of Five Armies, an elf prince journeys to the north of Middle Earth in search of the mysterious Strider. But to also escape the grief of a 'love unspoken' as well as the oppressive regime of his father, King Thranduil. There among the Dúnedain, Legolas finds friendship, adventure, a sense of humor and a female ranger who is not quite what she seems. Is he fated to forever love another unrequited? And what of the broken relationship with his father, will the prince's choices drive a deeper wedge between them? A classic love story, filled with adventure and intrigue, but ALSO a journey into the unwritten years of the beginning of an epic friendship with Aragorn; all set prior to 'The Lord of the Rings'. *Feb 2018: 2nd in The Middle Earth Awards* *June 2018: 2nd in Arkenstone (The Hobbit) category, The Tolkien Awards* *July 2018: Official Featured Wattpad Fanfiction* *Jan 2019: #3 in Romance Hotlist (181k stories) -0-0-0-0-0- I may have nicknamed this story 'Pride and Prejudice for Elves', our silver-haired princeling has several centuries of repression he needs to work through, as well lighten up - before he can become the elf that we know and love in LOTR! The story is COMPLETE! All votes and comments greatly appreciated. I'd be absolutely thrilled to have you join me on this journey of self-discovery in Middle Earth. The best writing in this story belongs to @GreenScholarTales, who kindly allowed me to weave my romance into her story, 'Starting Anew.' Please go and see her other works and her original series on Wattpad, The Book of Terrus.
