"What is this feeling?" Thranduil softly whispers, our lips inches apart from touching.

"Butterflies."

Elise, as a young child was discovered on the side of the road, alone, by Gandalf the Grey. He noticed that there was something very different about this young elf - her eyes. One was a piercing blue while the other a deep green. 

Elise is then placed into the care and protection of Lord Elrond, but not without a little cover magic for her eyes.

When arrangements are made for her to stay in the Woodland realm.
With her new sense of freedom she sets herself on a task - to discover herself, and the world around her, but what if a certain blonde haired King becomes a distraction.

Is all what it really seems? Or does something magical come to light?


"What you're feeling can either create you, or destroy you."

AFTER the Battle of Five Armies, an elf prince journeys to the north of Middle Earth in search of the mysterious Strider. 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?

The Mermaid's Forgotten Love (Legolas love story) by kyxgarra21
21 parts Complete
Artemis that's my name. A Long long time ago a young elf prince gave it to me. He was the crowned elf prince of Mirkwood. His name Legolas he was a very kind young elf. I had saved him from drowning when he was only 10, well looked 10 anyway. Since he is an elf they age very slowly just like my kind. After I saved his life that day he wouldd often come see me. Each day just to learn about me and my race. Since we'll, im a mermaid. I'm the last of my kind. He and I grew up together and my feelings for him became one of love over time. I loved him but it was dangerous for me because mermaids can only love once. If my heart breaks it will turn to stone and stop beating, it will grow old and cold and it will stop and never start again. My body will live but it would be a shell of a mer. One day Legolas had come to see me by the river, he told me about a young she-elf named Tauriel. He told me about how he had feelings for her and how amazing she was. My heart hurt at those words. He had fallen for another. That day I told him I loved him and that I would never forget him. Then I grabbed his face with my hands and kissed him. When I kissed him a tear slid down my cheek, when it hit the ground it turned into a white pearl. I kissed him because I loved him but when I kissed him I took away every memory of him and myself. I let go and put my necklace around his neck. It was a green stone with markings on it. We called it our hearts we would give it to the ones we love. I looked at him one last time before jumping back into the water leaving the one I love.

Bound By Starlight ~ Thranduil x Reader

14 parts Ongoing Mature

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
