The relationship between Thranduil and Tauriel after the Battle of the 5 Armies.
How Tauriel is dealing with the aftermath of the battle as she goes back to Mirkwood and realizes that she has always wanted Thranduil's love and affection in her life. It turns out there has been more behind their turbulent relationship than they let themselves believe. The story follows their relationship from the days and weeks after the battle to many years later, during the events from LOTR and after.

I absolutely loved their chemistry in the Hobbit and this is my first fanfic. I tried to keep the characters as close to the movie versions as I could (since Tauriel only appears in the movies and Thranduil's personality is only vaguely presented in the books).

I am also including info about what happened to Thranduil's realm after the Hobbit from the LOTR book appendices... There will also be feasts and celebrations along the way! #partykingthranduil 

Rated mature for some chapters. #thrandiel

Light and Shadows (Thranduil's story post BOTFA) by Cineva999
53 parts Complete Mature
The Elvenking is like a very strong, old tree, deeply rooted in the kingdom he pledged himself to protect. He also pledged himself to protect his heart from love, out of fear that it might weaken him, but that proved to be disastrous. Love... what daunting word rubbed in his face by that fearless redhead elleth during the battle in Dale. Is there any love left in him? Follows what happens with Thranduil and Tauriel after BOTFA, during the War of the Ring and further into the 4th Age. Mainly from Thranduil's POV and including canon events that are only briefly mentioned in the books. I try to respect the lore as much as I can. Apart from the romance, I wanted to explore Thranduil's character based on what we know about his life. Feedback and comments are much appreciated :) "His words were unforgiving again, hiding under the same cold tone he had for centuries, yet he could not believe them himself anymore. Tauriel was looking at him, her gaze seemingly piercing through his soul. His dream to restore Mirkwood to Greenwood and his thoughts of avenging his beloved wife were contradicting everything he said. He did not want to care yet every fibre of his being cared too much." "There was something else that Thranduil noticed in Celeborn's eyes: a combination of respect and admiration. 'You are strong, Thranduil. You are like one of the old Mirkwood trees, deeply rooted in the earth, that the centuries cannot wither. I always thought that, no matter what evil lies upon Arda, you will endure.'

This tale unfolds against the backdrop of the War of the Ring, spanning from the era preceding the Battle of the Five Armies to the dawn of the Fourth Age. It starts on a journey to establish the setting, introduce the characters, and delve into the central narrative that revolves around the untimely demise of the Elven Queen and the menacing curse that ensnares the Prince of Mirkwood, along with an unwitting mortal who becomes entangled in this web of intrigue. However, this is merely the inception of our tale. Brace yourself for an enduring adventure filled with interwoven conflicts, the insidious allure of the Ring, and the ever-shifting dynamics among our compelling cast of characters. At its core, this narrative cherishes the essence of adventure shared by the Fellowship of the Ring, emphasizing the bonds of friendship and the depth of love amidst tumultuous times. Central to this saga are Legolas, Xena, Thranduil, Aragorn, Gimli, and Tauriel whose destinies are interwoven with the fate of Middle-earth. Yet, every character plays a pivotal role in this epic journey, contributing shades of complexity to the overarching narrative. While the story initially orbits around these stalwart heroes, it also beckons the presence of pivotal female characters, notably Arwen, whose significance in the grand of events unfolds with grace and power. The narrative remains poised to introduce another essential female figure, whose role is yet to be revealed, enriching the evolving dynamics and depths of the storyline.

The story is COMPLETE! All votes and comments greatly appreciated. I'd be absolutely thrilled to have you join me on this journey of self-discovery in Middle Earth. The best writing in this story belongs to @GreenScholarTales, who kindly allowed me to weave my romance into her story, 'Starting Anew.' Please go and see her other works and her original series on Wattpad, The Book of Terrus. The beautiful painting on the cover was kindly loaned by the highly talented Irishmellow, see her awesome work at https://irishmellow.deviantart.com/ Copyright: Tolkien owns all the familiar characters, Jackson & Co. own Tauriel and the starting premise, Green Scholar owns several significant events and almost all of the rangers ... but one, Wren, she is all mine!
