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.

The Exile's Daughter by SleepySindar

After surviving a terrible attack, Nesseldë finds herself alone in a world ensnared by an ever-growing darkness. She is close to forsaking Middle-earth. As Sauron's hold over Middle-earth grows and the Dúnedain rangers struggle to hold back the tide from their beloved Eriador, a chance encounter takes the choice away from Nesseldë. Aragorn and Legolas, her fierce protectors, heal her wounds and take her to safety. However, when she is told something of her heritage, something which had been kept from her all her life, everything changes. Plunged into a world which is so unlike home, Nesseldë must rise above those who came before her and fight for what is right, no matter the consequences. As she begins her long walk along the harsh paths of fate, how is she to feel about the compassionate woodland prince who is always by her side?

The King's Heart (Thranduil Fanfiction) by thranduilsguardian

Being a king is hard. Raising a son is hard. Living with eternal grief is hard. King Thranduil is just trying to keep his kingdom running and his son safe when an elf is found with orcs at the border of Greenwood. Who could this mysterious elf truly be? But then the elf he rescued in the forest grows closer to Legolas, and Thranduil can not help but enjoy her company as well. Darkness descends over the forest, all because of this one elf. When lives are threatened, Thranduil must make a choice: his kingdom or his heart. 12/14/21- y'all I wrote this in high school and I kinda want to go through it again and do a bunch of editing. Some of my writing makes me cringe and what are we here for if not improvement. That being said, this story will change starting today probably and if you're in the middle of it, hopefully I don't confuse details or timelines for you. If you've already read it once and just felt like you had to read it again, maybe it will provide some new enjoyment. Who knows? Maybe I'll actually finish some other stuff I have on here.

The hurt Thranduil and Legolas endure during their imprisonment tear apart their souls. Who will save them? And, if they are saved, how will they recover from their experiences? Can father and son learn to trust and love each other ever or will there always be a void between them? WARNINGS: Torture inflicted on adults and elflings. Second in the Nin Chronicles.

The Return by Silvan_Elleth

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.

$The Last Queen {Thranduil FanFiction} by CJ_Callahan$

An account of the last days of the ElvenQueen. Lairiel of Lorien was a Telerian elleth, and guardian of the Valar's creation. A chance encounter, on a political exchange to Greenwood, has her fate entwined with that of the Great Forest - she chose Oropher's son. She is Thranduil's most beloved treasure, and the light of the people she so readily embraced. But, as Greenwood falls into darkness even the King and his Queen are not immune to the evil of Sauron. ***Note: I wrote this story ten years ago, and I'm keeping it very much to its original form and plot. Therefore this is not a Gundabad story, nor a dragon fire plot. It is not influenced by the hobbit movies. It was how I imagined the tragedy of the ElvenKing, and was my very first fanfiction*** ***Disclaimer: All recognisable characters belong to the master Tolkien. Without him we would never have had such wonderful freedom of imagination. Lairiel and Ellenya are my own beloved OCs, their stories do belong entirely to me.***

Long Walk Home by MiddleEarthPixie

After being seriously wounded by the Uruk-hai and unwilling to slow the Fellowship down, Boromir has convinced the others to let him try to make his way back home to Minas Tirith to recuperate. But then he passes out from the severity of his wounds, only to roused by his boat running aground in unfamiliar territory. And when the Uruk-Hai come back to finish him off, they might very well have succeeded, were it not for the young boy who comes to his aid. Imagine his surprise when he learns his savior is a woman... Eleri has lived a solitary existence ever since a pack of orcs roared through her village several years earlier and destroyed almost everything in their path. She prefers solitude, for it's safer. If she remains alone, she can't ever suffer losing another soul. But, when she happens upon orcs attacking an already-severely wounded man, she can't in good conscience, turn away without helping. She had no way of knowing how a simple act of kindness could change her entire life....

༶•┈┈⛧┈♛Foxgloves and Greenleaves ♛┈⛧┈┈•༶ by gwen_ever3

Thirty years after the events of The Hobbit, Legolas heeds his father's words to go north and find a wanderer named Strider. However, his search for Strider comes with danger: orcs. So when he is saved from a deadly ambush by a mysterious, yet cunning she-elf, Legolas does all he can to unmask her true identity while staying focused on his mission. Miranna Foxglove's Elven parents were slain by orcs when she was just an elfling; she has a scar -an emotional and physical one- to remember that night. When hordes of orcs start roaming Middle Earth once more, Miranna, along with her mare, tracks them and exterminates them along the way while finding the orc who killed her parents. She does not expect to find two things during her hunt: the Elven prince of Mirkwood and a place that has always waited for her to call home.
