Perhaps the best of tales are the ones that might have been. The ones that delve into the depths of lore and grasp something unexpected, something that should've remained hidden for all time. Perhaps the tales left unexplored are the ones that need to be told the most. "I'm enchanted! I don't think I have read another story quite like this that is this authentically elvish... It is a true treasure on here!" ~Aiwren "I'm enjoying this! Your style is very fitting. Well done!" ~ EpicRedpenn "Wonderfully penned. I cannot express how much I love your work, it's like reading an undiscovered chapter of Tolkien, even. I can't wait for more!" ~Dreamescape07 "Indeed, most tales of Middle Earth do not come from an Elf's eyes. Yes, they do see all, and that is the pity of it. If you look into an elf's eyes, you will see Time itself. Pools of memory, lakes of sorrow and springs of joy. The elves are where sorrow and joy meet. Perhaps that is why they are so intriguing.

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!

I thought I could live the rest of my life alone and in the sadness and despair. I was truly broken. I lost someone who I cared too deeply for and then I ran away from the one I love the most. Now almost 70 years later we are to reunite. The dangerous quest I am to go on could either kill me, or him, or even both of us. But I know one thing and one thing only, I still love him. But I feel deep in my heart that, that is not enough. (Sequel to An Arranged Marriage) *This is Book 2 of 3*

She has been on the run for 984 years-just to stay safe and keep her secret hidden. What happens when Arryin's past catches up to her and a certain blond elf comes into her life? ----- "With a stern tone, Legolas spoke. "That was an order, not a suggestion." Arryin retorted his comment roughly, "I don't have to listen to you or your damn orders." ---- WARNINGS: violence, mentions of death, descriptions of death, angst, a little spice, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, fluff, pinning slowburn, ect.
