In a quiet town on the edge on Mirkwood, an elf child named Thaila was found with striking white hair, unique blue and amber eyes, and a gentle soul. As she grew into a young woman, puberty unleashed a surge of hidden powers within her. She grew majestic dragon horns, an enchanting tail, and impressive wings. The villagers, initially accepting, turned against her in fear, claiming that she was cursed.
Haunted by grief and regret, Thaila distanced herself, rejecting people altogether and sinking into deep despair. She turned to self-harm as a coping mechanism, cutting herself as penance for her perceived curse.
Then, news emerged of a potential cure in the mysterious land of Mirkwood, but fear engulfed Thaila. However, Legolas, captivated by her tale, offered his companionship and promised protection along the journey.
Initially reluctant, Thaila eventually agreed to leave the only home she had ever known. As they traversed through the dense, enchanted forests of Mirkwood, she discovered newfound strength and resilience in the company of her unlikely ally.
Upon reaching their destination, Thaila and Legolas knelt before the wise King Thranduil of Mirkwood, Legolas' father. They beseeched his wisdom, seeking the cure that lingered on the edge of their dreams.
As the story unfolds, Thaila learns to embrace her inner power and beauty, realizing that she has been blessed with unique, extraordinary gifts rather than curses. In the heart of Mirkwood, she confronts her fears and blossoms into the dazzling and powerful creature she was always meant to be. Love, forgiveness, and self-compassion unfold as Thaila journeys towards her destiny, learning that enchanting truths can emerge from the darkest corners of our lives.

Bound By Starlight ~ Thranduil x Reader
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
Shadow of Mirkwood
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?Complete

Dragons Pride [Lotr]✔
How she still looked majestic, despite the scars on her face and hands was questionable. Why the elleth was in Rohan and where she disappeared to from time to time was a mystery. I do not have any copy right claims regarding the original books or movies this fanfiction is based on and I do not make any money from this content. It is simply meant as entertainment for the fanbase of middleearth and Tolkien's work. Still I do take immense pride in my hard work and would therefore prefer to have it only be called MY WORK and not stolen by other artists and republished on this or other fanbase websites without my consent or knowledge. Therefore I ask of you, dear reader, to please inform me if this or any other of my pieces have appeared on other websites you may have visited since I exclusively provide my content on Wattpad and have yet to allow anybody to copy my stories and repost them elsewhere. Thank you for your help in advance. The pictures I provide you with to underline the story are either fantastic pieces by talented artists, snippets from the movies or drawn by myself. Only the hand drawn pictures, 2 of them, are my own work and I do not take any credit for the other pieces. If you want to find pictures such as those I used, you can find them best under fantasy photography on Google. Yours truly, Miss_Little_Fool Edited to erase any grammar mishaps: 23.Dec.2019 Also: The elvish translations are provided through me with the help of the 'Elvish dictionary' by W. Krege, Klett-cotta. If you are interested in learning elvish I'd much recomend this books as it not only contains vocabulary content in both Sindarin and Quenya (Old and new elvish) but also great guidelines and helpers about Grammar. I shall put the ISBN here as well, but just so you know, it is the german version, meaning I make it 10 times worse for myself by translating my sentences from German to english to German to Elvish.

The Lady of the Earth
The youngest of Lord Elrond's children has always been different from her siblings. A part of her seemed to be locked away, waiting for the right moment to burst forth. Despite this, she was loved, she was treasured and she was protected... until she wasn't. The day she unlocked her true self is a day that haunts her. Instead of the assured protection of her family, she became the protector. That day lingers. It scars. The traumatic event not only affected her but her family. As time moves forward the scar remains, not loudly or visible but it remains. Until an event occurs and that nightmare was said to slink back into darkness, providing a semblance of peace. A small fire, a source of heat for her but a beacon for unsavoury characters. That is all took for the nightmare to come back. That once locked part now pulsates. A warning perhaps or a sign of evolving. She seeks out a wizard for her answers and instead she leaves with more questions and uncertainties. She offers her help when asked, a small thing for a dear friend... Oh how she regrets that. Dwarves! Dragons! Wargs! She did not agree with this. She did not agree with it at all! Amongst, verbally combating with dwarves, playing therapist to an emotionally compromised hobbit, refraining from pushing an annoyingly vague wizard; she finds the past does not remain there.

A Lasting Legacy [ Thranduil X OC ]
COMPLETED story with a COMPLETED SEQUEL; "A Permanent Lineage" *40 chapters overall! '...She had dreamt of what his lips would feel and taste like for literally centuries and they didn't disappoint. The first touch of her lips on his was like a taste of water after years in the desert...' The war of the ring is over. Lady Arden of Ardor belongs to an ancient line of powerful half-breed Elves. Rumors hint at what their powers could possibly entail but no one knows for sure. Some say they are clairvoyant and others proclaim them to be shapeshifters. Many say both. One thing is for sure; all of Middle Earth fears them. But the war could not have been won without their aid and now the cursed line is asking for acceptance. No longer do they want to wander the forests endlessly, moving from kingdom to kingdom as permanent nomads. Now they call for a meeting between the fellowships' 5 bloodlines, requesting a permanent lineage and kingdom. There are just 2 problems that hinder lady Arden from finally receiving the honor her and her kin deserve. 1. The kingdom they wish to call theirs borders Mirkwood forest. 2. The king of Mirkwood is not so inclined on being neighbors with cursed creatures, especially their queen. Raised to look down upon anything not of full elvish form, Thranduil is enraged by the audacity of the creature and her people who have plagued his borders for centuries. However many do not know that the 2 were once inseparable. Long ago the 2 elvish races lived in peace until tragedy struck. Ever since then, Thranduil has hated Arden and her people with a passion. When it comes down to the last vote, it is none other than Thranduil who holds their future in his hands. Will he take advantage of Arden in the process of deciding? Will Arden finally be able to change his mind and in the end gain something more eternal than a legacy?

Echoes in the Greenwood // ThranduilxOC
Nerwen is no ordinary daughter of the Eldar. Touched by the blood of the ancient ones and gifted with elemental magic long forgotten, she is summoned to the Greenwood on the eve of war. Sent by Galadriel, bound by purpose, and haunted by a past of loss and silence, Nerwen carries a power the Enemy has already begun to hunt. There she meets Thranduil-king of starlight and ice, carved by grief, crowned in thorns of pride. What begins as wary distance deepens into something neither can name. As the darkness spreads from Dol Guldur and the dwarves of Erebor awaken a fire beneath the mountain, fate draws them closer, even as old wounds threaten to tear them apart. From the shadowed halls of Mirkwood to the burning skies over Dale, Echoes in the Greenwood weaves a tale of war, sacrifice, and slow-burning love. It is the story of a warrior who carries too much, a king who dares to hope again, and a bond powerful enough to bend even the will of the Valar. And when all light seems lost... the Greenwood sings her name. All of the original characters from Tolkien are not mine. All of the others are of my own creative power.Complete
