Legolas is the equivalent of a 15 year old human, making him around 100. His father, Thranduil, blames his son for the death of his wife (in this story she died in child birth) and beats his son every day in punishment. 

Aragorn (Estel) was raised by elves in Rivendell, where such cruelty would never be tolerated. He is currently aged 20. When he is sent to Mirkwood as a representative of Lord Elrond, he accidentally discovers the hardships of the prince's life. 

But will Estel be able to rescue Legolas? And if he does, will the elf ever be able to learn to trust?

Aragorn is trying to deal with the truth he has only just learned about his heritage. Can he save Legolas' life and bear the burden of a destiny he doesn't want? And what will happen if he fails?

Bound By Starlight ~ Thranduil x Reader by Horizon513

Hidden away in an ancient tower, Y/N has lived her entire life in solitude, her only companion a sassy little gecko named Lómin. Bound by duty and the whispered warnings of her guardian, she has never stepped beyond the walls that confine her. Her gift, the power to heal wounds and reverse decay, flows through the long silver strands of her hair, but it comes at a cost. To use it, she must recite an ancient Elven prayer, a song of starlight that could make her either a savior or a target. The outside world is dangerous. She has been told this all her life. Kings would seek to control her. Thieves would try to take what is not theirs. And once her secret is known, she will never be free. But when fate sends an unexpected visitor to her tower, Y/N must make a choice: remain a prisoner of safety or risk everything for a chance at freedom...perhaps, even love. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ⚠️ Warnings ⚠️ • Violent Scenes • Graphic Descriptions • Sexual Themes • Age Gap • Strong/ Offensive Language ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Status: Ongoing • Started: 07/03/25 • Finished: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Disclaimer • I don't own TLOTR/The Hobbit or its characters. • I do own Y/n + some extra added characters

She is reunited with Legolas of the Woodland Realm, and as they journey together to rebuild a deep friendship once lost...they realise that fate truly has brought them together once more. * This is a story of how hope and love can be rekindled, in even the darkest parts of Middle-Earth.

Stolen Moments by lifeofabloodyfangirl

A collection of all the times Aragorn & Legolas get a chance for some alone time away from the Fellowship Mostly in third person, occasionally in first person No smut, mostly just fluff and adorable Aralas moments (Arwen doesn't really exist, sorry) I will post trigger warnings at the beginning of each chapter if needed Can be read as a collection of one-shots Feel free to message me, I'm always down to talk about LOTR or any of my other fandoms :) The photos mostly have nothing to do with the chapters, I just think they are really cool. (All found on google) I do not own any of these characters, all of those rights go to the wonderful J.R.R. Tolkien. Posted on Ao3 as well •Complete•
