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?

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!

Shadow of Mirkwood by elven-archer
34 parts Complete
In the heart of the cursed Mirkwood Forest, Legolas, the prince of the woodland realm, is haunted by an inexplicable feeling of being watched. Unbeknownst to him, his every move is shadowed by a female elf (I am not going to reveal the name), the enigmatic and fiercely skilled general of the Mirkwood army, who has vowed to protect her prince and her king - Thranduil. Legolas, however, remains unaware of her presence. Every midnight, she cloaks herself in secrecy and ventures out to meet him, masking her identity. Under the cover of darkness, she observes him carefully. Amidst the looming threats of darkness creeping into Mirkwood, the unlikely bond between Legolas and the general becomes both a source of strength and vulnerability. When news of the One Ring's existence and its devastating power reaches the woodland realm, Legolas, along with a fellowship of brave companions, embarks on a perilous quest to destroy the Ring and save Middle-earth from the clutches of darkness. In a tale of hidden identities, midnight meetings, and unspoken emotions, "Shadows of Mirkwood" explores the profound connection between two souls destined to protect their realm and, in the process, find solace in each other's arms. As they face the ultimate quest to destroy the Ring, their love becomes a beacon of hope in the face of overwhelming darkness. Will their love withstand the challenges of secrecy, duty, and the temptation of the Ring, or will the shadows that brought them together also tear them apart?

"If the world sees me only as a beast destined to bring about their demise, what purpose is there in trying to be anything more?" With her choice, a new age can begin, And the Dragonborn's power can be used to win. But beware, all who hear this prophecy's call, For the Dragonborn's rise will bring the world's fall. [BOOK 2] : In a world teetering on the brink of darkness, Anaynah steps into a new chapter of her journey as she joins the Fellowship of the Ring. Haunted by grief and the shadows of her past, she must navigate the treacherous paths of love and loss while confronting the legacy of her predecessor. With every choice she makes, Anaynah inches closer to fulfilling her prophecy that looms over her like a shadow. What will happen when she confronts the spectre of her past? As the pain of loss weighs heavily on her, will she embrace the darkness or find the strength to resist it? In the heart of the fellowship, where loyalty is tested and sacrifices are demanded, what will happen when her predecessor's torment pushes her to the brink? In this epic tale of loyalty and sacrifice, Anaynah must fight not only for Middle-earth but for the purity of her own soul. Will she embrace her true self or surrender to the encroaching darkness? Will she ultimately succumb to the shadows, or can she carve out a destiny free from despair? A choice to be made; to put aside the ranger and Acsend to the Dragonborn she was destined to be.
