    Summary

    At the end of the Second Age, the Elven Houses struggle for unity, and love often becomes a casualty of duty. At a festival meant to bridge realms, old loyalties run deep: Círdan’s eldest daughter, Meríliel (main OC) is promised to Glorfindel in a political union between Mithlond (the Grey Havens) and Imladris, while her brother Calenion (also OC) is bound to wed Thranduil’s eldest daughter, Lóthien (also OC). Yet amidst oaths and obligations, Meríliel finds her soul drawn to Legolas, sparking tensions that threaten both families and alliances. When tragedy strikes, hearts falter, promises are broken, and the tides of fate begin to pull them all apart.

    This story usually updates weekly and aims to remain canon-friendly, mostly following The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. Several original characters fill in the blanks left by Tolkien, and each is woven carefully into the story, mentioned where relevant.

    Summary

    I have no idea why these two idiots keep popping up in my head. I recently read the novel Red, White & Royal Blue – the characters were great, the story captivating… but my brain immediately gave me the thought: what if Thorin and Thranduil were in their place?

    That's how this fanfiction was born. You'll find inspiration and passages similar in tone to Casey McQuiston's book, but in a world where royal crowns, proud glances, and the eternal rivalry between elves and dwarves take on a whole new dimension.

    This is, of course, just a play on the imagination – a kind of homage and a loose variation, not intended to copy or take away from the original. I hope the author will forgive me, and you will have fun discovering familiar tensions and entirely new emotions in Thorin and Thranduil's portrayal.

    And if anyone asks: why Thorin and Thranduil? – the short answer is: I don't know. These two kings are persistently injecting themselves into every story I write, and I don't think I have any control over it anymore. 😅

    And since my mood has been what it is lately, I often escape into writing, which is definitely the best medicine.

    Summary

    Her life was a rather large cage, yes, but a cage nonetheless. And every choice she made was another chip in its steel bars. She would bend them. Smash them. Shatter them into a million pieces, so they could never be rebuilt.

    Thranduil was waiting. And she had promised to see him again.

    x

    "There are neither enough droplets in the sea nor stars in the sky that could outnumber the days I would spend in wait for you, Aínwar Firekeeper. I will love you until the end of this world and those that shall come thereafter — in every life, throughout every Age — so that, no matter how many times we are destined to meet, I will love you in all of them…and you will know to look for me."

    Summary

    The Orcs had moved off, their noise and their stench following them. The beasts had given up their incessant growling to go sniff at a half-eaten carcass in the mud some yards away. Silence rolled in like fog, heavy and bleak.

    Had it not been so still, so quiet, Bilbo wouldn’t have heard the Elf’s breath catch in his throat. Had he not heard that, he also might’ve actually left him there.

    But Bilbo did hear it. He knew that noise, he knew it well. It’s what someone sounds like when they’re trying very, very hard not to cry.

    Set somewhere in the Battle of Five Armies, Bilbo makes a pit-stop (and a friend?) on his way to give the Arkenstone to Thranduil.

    Summary

    Selunya found a portal. Teal foliage and fluorescent mushrooms bloomed at its surroundings. It was enchanting view. After hours of hiding, fight and fearful prayers it seemed like salvation. The goddess Eilistraee shone upon this path with her unmistakable silvery glow so it must have been... right?

    Summary

    After centuries of enmity and misunderstanding, the fates of Thorin Oakenshield and Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm, become entwined in ways neither could have foreseen. What begins as resentment—Thorins' deep-seated anger toward Thranduil for not aiding his people when Smaug took Erebor—slowly shifts into something else entirely.

    Through battles fought side by side, wounds tended, and unspoken truths revealed, Thorin comes to learn the depth of Thranduil’s burdens, the scars he has hidden, and the impossible patience he has held for over a century. Thranduil, in turn, watches Thorin battle his own demons, the gold sickness, and the weight of his crown.

    A promise was made—if Thorin could free himself from his sickness and honour his debts, then Thranduil would hear him. And now, in the wake of war and hardship, with Erebor and Dale rebuilding, they find themselves standing at the precipice of something fragile and undeniable.

    With dwarven braids woven by elven hands, whispered words in Khuzdul and Sindarin alike, and an intimacy neither of them ever expected, Thorin and Thranduil must navigate what it means to be bound—not by hatred, but by something far stronger.

    Summary

    Before he can even attempt to form the words to ask whether or not Thranduil lives, a muffled broken cry cuts through the silence in the tent from nearby.

    Thorin is on his feet in seconds, eyes snapping to Legolas and frozen in place as the young prince does nothing but hang his head with a deeply pained look on his face.

    A second cry, more desperate and pained than the first, followed by a whimper, melts his hesitation in an instant and beckons Thorin to find the source of such pained sounds.

    Summary

    [DISCONTINUED AND BEING REWRITTEN AS 'THE THREADS THAT BINDS US' (2025)]

    " I am someone who wants you to have a happy ending."

    Jin Ae didn't believe in second chances, the word is nothing but a fragmented blur from the memories of her childhood, remnants of the bedtime stories her father would tell her about star crossed lovers stranded at sea.
    Until she had to attend the funeral of the man she loves and Jin Ae wanted nothing more than just that.By some miracle, a soft hearted deity must've heard her prayer because the woman finds herself trapped in a world of dwarves, swords and gold.
    There she meets a familiar pair of electric blue eyes, and she finds herself unable to leave him, specially if she knows how his story would end. Jin Ae couldn't save him in her world, but maybe in this one she can, even if he was far more stubborn in the world where vile dragons and crownless kings exist.

    They were two lost boats tied by a red string, destined to meet again.

    Summary

    For Narielle, a half-elven blacksmith with exceptional skill, one night of shared grief with the formidable Elvenking Thranduil sparked a rare and powerful bond—one he cruelly rejected upon learning of her pregnancy.

    Five years later, Narielle's health deteriorates as the broken elven bond slowly claims her life. When Thranduil's estranged son Legolas discovers her forge and meets young Leander —a boy with unmistakable royal features—he's determined to force his father to face the consequences of his denial.

    As Narielle weakens with each passing day, Thranduil must confront the truth: only by opening his heart and acknowledging what began that moonlit night can he save the mother of his child. But after years of rejection, will Narielle allow the bond to reform, or is it too late for healing what was broken?

    A tale of grief, redemption, and second chances set in the magical Woodland Realm, where ancient elven magic proves that sometimes the most powerful bonds are forged in our most vulnerable moments
