***Book III of the 'To Live Again' Series*** It is the year 3441 of the Second Age of Arda, it has been seven years since the Siege began on Barad-Dur, and now in the ruined ashes of the blood soaked plains of Mordor, the Alliance claim a narrow victory....but at what cost? Thranduil's legacy remains safely tucked away in the great eaves of Greenwood - his forest realm - that he has sacrificed all of himself to defend. His true mate, and bonded love, Clara, and his two beautiful children are left in a state of limbo, their futures entirely uncertain. But Clara, a Vivified immortal with a spirit that shines brightest into the darkest of places, will not let go of her husband so easily. Determined to resurrect the hope of a nation, and restore a broken warrior to a legendary ElvenKing - she fights in every way she knows how. It is all a waiting game now...waiting between worlds. ***WINNER of the Inkitt TOP TEN IN FANDOM AWARD 2015*** ***Note - I would strongly recommend reading previous books I & II of the series, to familiarise yourself with the legacy story arc*** Disclaimer: All recognisable characters names and places belong to the esteemed Professor JRR Tolkien.

I am merely borrowing them to satisfy my selfish cravings.

An origin tale that takes place before the events of the main story "To Live Again." It returns to Oropher's youth in Doriath, to a time before he was nothing more than a young lord in Thingol's court. It explores the love between he and his wife, the birth of his legendary son "Thranduil" their escape from Doriath, and the eventual coming to Greenwood. This is how a King is made. ***Not necessary to read the original "To Live Again" fanfiction. This is an ode to Oropher - after so many readers asked for more. DISCLAIMER: I do not own the amazing literature work of the master Tolkien. Only my own OC's and plots. Cover Design by SineadRobyn

Inspired by the ending of the movie The Battle of the Five Armies, this short story tells what happens after Legolas set off to find a mysterious man named Strider in the North. When the elf joins in a Yuletide celebration with a company of Rangers, he may just find something of his own that "is real." This story is a fun little one-shot in which I try to align Peter Jackson's movieverse to true book canon from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbbit.

Eda is a flight-risk mercenary with a bad track record. Living on half-payments from uncompleted jobs, she hopes that her luck will change. And it does. When Eda meets Gandalf, he tells her that being reluctant to kill - valuing life - is not a weakness. And seeing Eda's true colors beneath her tough and careless facade, he hires her to protect his favorite Hobbit as Bilbo takes an unexpected holiday. But even that doesn't quite go according to plan... *cover art created by @elvenmystery.* **All credit goes to J.R.R. Tolkien for everything except the character(s) I created.** Rated PG-13 for action violence, intense battle sequences, and mild suggestive reference.
