    Summary

    “The Eldar would beget children only in days of happiness and peace if they could."
    JRR Tolkien

    Mirkwood is fraught with war when its Queen falls pregnant; its citizens are too busy on the frontline to raise a child, and so the elfling grows up to become untamed. Unsuited for Mirkwood society, Legolas is sent on patrol to the edge of the Kingdom, isolated and fated to live out his years alone.

    A chance meeting with a ranger may change that fate.

    Summary

    Safe. Home. At last. Legolas knew that the nightmares would come again, that some part of him had been lost between his father’s halls and the flames of Mordor. But here… here he was safe. Safe with his Ada holding together all of Legolas’ shattered pieces until Legolas could hold himself together again. However long that may take.

    Summary

    Aragorn finds himself uneasy, traveling with Legolas in the world of Men.

    The elf has plenty of experience, of course, handling those greedy stares in poorly-lit taverns. More than once, he’s told Aragorn so—keep your senses, he’ll whisper in that sing-song Sindarin which is so out of place surrounded by raucous laughter and the overpowering stench of ale. I’ve done this for a thousand more years than you have.

    It’s different, though. After all, Strider has no issue blending into shadowy corners when he wishes to be unseen. Legolas rarely has the same option, for even under a dark cloak, with his golden hair tied up as to be unseen, there’s a certain air about an elf that mortals hardly ever miss.

    ~~~

    A close call in a seedy tavern seems enough to confirm Aragorn’s worst convictions about the cruelty of man.
