I am the Fire: Thranduil and Elleth reader fanfiction
"Clouds of fear were quickly covering the once cheerful blue sky. You knew then how unprepared for battle the people of Lake-town were. As you looked out to your left, you could see both dwarves, humans and elves facing one another, ready to rip the enemy of their glory and to claim all the mountain riches to themselves. It was then that the Earth started to shake. It was then the once stable ground became a quaking riot. It was then that Earthworms surged forward, from under the ground and into the light. This was now the Battle of the Five Armies." Opening paragraph of Chapter One You are a fierce elleth that is fighting in the Battle of the Five Armies. Since your father was killed by spiders on guard duty, both you and your mother left Mirkwood so you would not share your father's fate. You expected to see many Mirkwood elves that day, but you certainly did not expect to be fighting side by side with King Thranduil.Complete
The Eye of Zabini
Duncan Ashe died young. Everyone thinks that it was just a potions accident because they think whatever Dumbledore tells them to. But Theodore Nott won't stop pestering Blaise about Duncan, the legendary (and definitely made up) Cursed Vaults and the Ministry cover-up of the story. Despite his reluctance, Blaise finds himself pushed by circumstance to investigate a mystery lying at the heart of Hogwarts Castle. But one annoying ginger keeps getting in his way. Ron should be busy with whatever Hermione and Harry are up to, but someone's tipped him off, and now he thinks another Slytherin is trying to open a forbidden Chamber. Blaise quickly finds himself caught up in a mystery that has the potential to blow everything they know about Hogwarts and You Know Who out of the water. It turns out, there's much more to Duncan's death, the school and idiot Gryffindors, than he could have bargained. It's a race between the boys and (potentially) the Death Eaters themselves; and if they don't uncover the answers soon, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry won't stand a chance on the day of reckoning.
