After a failed spider mission, Legolas is left injured beyond what the Greenwood healers can help. Thranduil, worried for his son's Fea, sends him to Imladris for help. But the unit escorting the prince is attacked on the way and Legolas, after barely escaping, then fleas to the most unlikely of places where he hides, refusing to tell anyone of his whereabouts, afraid to go to Imladris, afraid to go home. This story fills in some gaps from The Return and creates a few more that I may delve into in a later fic. Thanks to @GerithorDunedain and @Illeandir for the title! @GerithorDunedain also gave me the prompt for this story XD

Title self explanatory. Some of these are AUs. I am writing these for fun, but also because I want to become better in the art of creative writing. That being said, any constructive criticism is welcome and greatly appreciated! TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. To Fulfill a Promise. An AU where Legolas visits the Glittering Caves Alone. 2. A Letter Thranduil receives a letter sometime after Legolas departs to Imladris to inform them of Gollum's escape. 3. Whispers The ring calls to Boromir. 4. In a Foul Place (Part 1 and 2) After a skirmish with a pack of Orcs, Legolas and his unit are caught off guard and outnumbered. 5. Namárië After Aragorn's passing, there is still one other Legolas wants to say farewell to before he and Gimli depart across the sea. 6. Lost Soldiers and a Little Wine Thranduil and his wife help their son, Legolas, come to terms with those he has lost after a battle. 7. To the Sea When King Elessar receives a letter from Faramir, he must rush to the ocean in an attempt to wake the former Prince of Mirkwood from his Sea Longing. 8. Heart of a Soldier After an unexpected spider attack goes ill, Thaladir must do everything in his waning power to get the king's son back to the stronghold alive. (The story of how my OC and Legolas became friends) 9. A Mother's Burden When Estel comes home to visit, Gilraen ponders the dangers her son faces. 10. Through Windows to find Cradles A wood elf encounters Gollum. 11. Maybe They Had Won A year after the desolation of Smaug, Legolas has a hard time believing the shadow has truly lifted from the forest. 12. In the Aftermath Legolas must wait for aid in the aftermath of a battle. TBC Side note: I probably won't do any romance but if I do, there won't be any mature content. In other words, nothing beyond a kiss. Hope y'all enjoy! ----------------------------------------- Awesome cover by @Stars_Alight

Sail the high seas in search of riches beyond the imagination with Captain Oros and his crew of motley and dangerous corsairs from around the whole of Middle Earth. In search of a mythical shipwreck said to hold the untold riches of the long dead Arvedui, the last Arnorian King, Captain Oros and First Mate Fendwall scour the shores for the hardest and strongest sailors to join them. Who they find may very well be more than the two friends can handle alone, but such is the walk of their life. With a fresh crew in hand and vast seas to sail, Oros sets out in search of his greatest undertaking. With a crew as lawless and crafty as this, old grievances quickly rise among new quarrels and mutiny is never a far thought. Will Oros be able to keep command of The White Raider long enough to reach Arvedui's fabled treasure? Is there any treasure?

**Third Place Winner of Gandalf's Challenge** @CJ_Callahan Her eyes looked wonderingly at the small plant that has sprouted out of her small, child size garden. It was strange to her young and inexperienced hands, but naneth had told her not to touch it. To leave it be. "Trees are sacred," naneth had explained gently. "This one is no exception, for it has decided to spring up where you have watered the ground and grown your flowers. Trees do not make decisions lightly." And so she let the tree grow.

Forty years have gone by since the beginning of the Fourth Age. The time of peace is falling away as Orcs are attacking villages in Eryn Lasgalen and Gondor, killing aimlessly. Legolas receives a strange letter from Aragorn asking him to meet in Imladris. But something happens on the road and Legolas and his captain, Thaladir, discover something disturbing about the new enemy. Something that could take them, Aragorn, and others as far as the Mines of Moria. Please Note: This is an older work of mine and while I still love it dearly, the writing isn't the best, and it is slightly AU because I didn't know Tolkien lore when I started it. So please don't judge my writing on this fic. «»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» Disclaimer: I do not own any of Tolkien's characters or places. Rated: PG-13 For Violence. ------------------------------------------------------------- Wonderful cover by @Stars_Alight

Boom. Boom. Boom. The earth crackled and shook like the thunder in the heavens had pelted the earth with its voice. Doom. Doom. Doom. What if Samwise Gamgee never existed? Would the Fellowship still have triumphed? Undoubtably, not.
