Legolas longs to be with the man he cares for, the man he trusts, but that is not easily done. Aragorn, the new King of Gondor, has more on his mind than an elf who cares deeply for him. Legolas flees Gondor, to get away from his pain. What he does not realize is that his heart is slowly failing because of his sadness. What will happen between the two men? Will they ever have the love that is only talked about in stories?

(Aragorn x Legolas) I'm bad at descriptions but I guess I will give it a go: Aragorn finds Legolas injured years before the war of the ring. He refuses to be healed but Aragorn does so after he faints. When he leaves, he thought that that would be the end of it...he thought he would never see him again. Years pass and Aragorn sees him again when he arrives at Rivendell, looking nothing like the day that he left him. Aragorn is glad that their paths cross again but Legolas is hiding something from him. Can he find out the truth and save Legolas before it is too late? ⚠️ Warnings are at the beginning of chapters ⚠️ -The cover picture isn't mine |COMPLETED|

𝗔𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝘅 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘀 "Blood and lives were getting lost but none lost their courage. Despite the violent atrocity that had unfolded months earlier, beautiful moments emerged, and some would argue that they made the struggle worthwhile. Despite how Saruman's powers currently used it, the forest remained graceful. Sun shone through the leaves and lightened a specific spot of the battlefield. There stood Aragorn and Legolas. They both fought with great reasons haunting their minds. Over the ages, the cruelty of their surroundings eroded many people's faith. However, as Aragorn and Legolas fought side by side, something greater rekindled their trust in destiny." Chapter XVII *** King Aragorn and Prince Legolas haven't spoken to each other since their last encounter went wrong. But a new great evil threatens Middle Earth and they find themselves in the same team again. Together they have a power that no other equals but what they fight happens to be bigger than expected and keeps challenging their love. *AU

This is slightly different from the original movies because I am too scared to follow the rules because these movies have complicated lore. Legolas is the main character because he's practically invincible in the movies. Well, I'm changing that. Sauron forms a new tactic. Transforming himself into his once beautiful form. He's not physical form yet... it's more like a ghost like the dead army in return of the king. He's kind of like a beautiful illusion. He can touch others and others can touch him but he's a ghost. So... he turns his eye to Legolas and starts tricking him. He has an eye for Legolas body to make his own.

Aeolin of Lothlorien has been traveling across Middle Earth for a little over a hundred years. After a loss struck her heart, Lothlorien was more of a reminder of it than a home.

Intrigued by how such a hard man could raise such a kind son, she tends to push her luck with the king and may enjoy it just a bit too much.

Legolas and Aragorn are friends, but it is pretty clear that Legolas caught feelings for the ranger- not for the ranger himself though-Between terrible heartbreaks, a rollercoaster of emotions and burping dwarfs and men, there also is a troublemaker in Gondor, of whom they have to take care of or else, a war between elves and men will break out.

The story will take place in the period before the beginning of the community of rings until the return of the king and beyond. This story is fictional don't take it seriously. Some characters are from a movie / book but some characters are fictional. And the inspiration of the characters is from J. R. R. Tolkien. None of the pictures are mine, they are all downloaded from the internet. I also recommend not skipping chapters, as it might not make sense to you. Written: 18.5-8.6. 2021 Legolas finds Aragorn in Hůrka, after two weeks he realizes that he is feeling something. So when they leave Hůrka, Legolas tells Aragorn how he feels about him. Even though Aragorn heard him, he didn't do anything about it. In the Gorge, Aragorn kisses Legolas and feels beautiful. And you already know that. I wish you a nice reading.😘
