Summary
“I was sent on this journey to protect all of you.” Even as close as they were, Pippin could barely hear the elf. “I failed.”
Legolas’ hand slipped out of his and found the bandages at his wrists, touching them with the tips of his fingers. “All of my training, all of the centuries I have spent fighting until my fingers split open and my palms became raw… it was all for nothing when it counted most.”
“But–”
“Please, Pippin. I do not wish to talk any more.”
“Alright.” Pippin swallowed back the guilt rising in his throat. Pulling his wrist away from Legolas’ hand, he took it in his own once more, pressing it to his chest.
“So you can feel I’m still here, even when you sleep,” he explained quietly.
(Legolas and Pippin have been rescued by the Fellowship. As they continue their quest towards Mordor, they find that not every wound can be fixed with just medicine, and that more terrible ones may be forming just below the surface.)
(Sequel to Fool of a Took so unless you like being confused you should probably take a gander at that one first.)

Summary
Bard Bowman is struggling. With three kids, two jobs, and little help besides the few friendly faces in Laketown, life is a daily battle to keep his family's head above the water. All of that changes when a new family comes into town, hailing from the darkening Eryn Galen, which has been taken by an incurable rot that brings unknown monsters along with it.
Thranduil Oropherion is struggling on the heels of a relationship gone wrong, hoping that the anonymity of Esgaroth will be just what he and his son need. His plans for a quiet life are interrupted by Bard and his family, who bring a joy that was long missing from his day to day. He finds himself growing comfortable with them: yet, he cannot forget why he came to Laketown in the first place
At first, the going is slow. But as Bard and his children grow closer to Thranduil and Legolas, he learns that there is more to both of them them that meets the eye, and that they might be on the run from something- or someone- far more terrible than what lurks in Mirkwood.

Summary
Fool of a Took seemed to be the enduring muttered mantra of the Fellowship, at least where Gandalf was concerned. It was entirely possible that the others thought it in their hearts– certainly not his fellow hobbits, but perhaps the Men that were sworn to follow Frodo into fire and flames, the grumbling dwarf, and the strange elf who spoke rarely and blinked even less. Pippin tried not to let it prick his heart: he knew this quest was something far beyond his understanding of the world, knew that truly realizing it would warp his brain in ways that could not be undone, knew that, after all, he was just a simple hobbit who had quite literally stumbled into saving the world. He could quell the pinpricks with those thoughts.
Before Moria, of course. Before knocking the helmet down the well. Before the balrog.
(In which Legolas has a bad time, Pippin has even worse time, and the Fellowship finally gets around to talking about the balrog incident, though not before Legolas and Pippin run into trouble in the woods.)

Summary
“Ach, elf, you’re making it seem like he’s wearing some fancy unmentionables. As long as Frodo hasn’t been parading around in an indestructible negligee there is no shame in the truth. Out with it, you pointy-eared devil.”
“Bilbo said it belonged to an elven prince long ago,” Legolas sighed. He was certain he was flushed bright red as Gimli’s beard– he felt as if he were being set on fire from the inside.
“Yes, he did say that.” Frodo’s brows pressed together, now with confusion. “Am I supposed to know the names of all elven princes from ages past?”
“No,” Legolas said slowly. “But, I, ah, suppose on your journey you have met… one.”
(In which the Fellowship figures out, amongst other things, the origin of Frodo's mithril shirt.)
