Summary
Early in the year 2941 of the Third Age, the world begins to stir.
Separated by duty for the second longest stretch of their lives, Legolas and Elrohir each feel the quiet unease of a turning age. In Greenwood, now called Mirkwood beyond its borders, Legolas is haunted by dreams of fire and shadow as the forest itself grows restless. In Imladris, Elrohir watches over a young fosterling whose lineage carries the weight of the past, while old instincts warn him that stillness is no longer an option.
As Dwarves depart in secret from Imladris and ancient powers begin to move, love and foresight draw two long-parted paths back toward one another. This is the moment before choices are made and destinies quietly begin to align.

Summary
Two hundred years of absence leave a mark. As Elrohir and Legolas return to Imladris together, old courtesies mask older judgments, and welcome does not mean forgetfulness. The valley remembers what stone and water have witnessed before, and not all silences are kind ones. Love has endured, shaped by long roads, chosen distance, and a marriage that asked for loyalty above comfort. Whether Imladris has learned to do the same, or whether it has merely learned to hide what it has never unlearned, remains to be seen.

Summary
Now that the Seregrog and the shadow in the North are behind them, Legolas and Elrohir turn west again, back to the road and to the quieter dangers of the world. Bree, the Shire, and the long miles between them hold new marvels for Legolas, new troubles for Elrohir, and new tests for a bond that has already survived blood, fear, and fire.

Summary
A year has passed since Legolas and Elrohir were wed beneath Greenwood’s leaves, their love steady as light through the trees. Peace has lingered, fragile and golden, but peace seldom lasts.
When autumn deepens, they journey west beyond the forest, seeking quiet roads and the simple beauty of the mortal world. Yet the land feels changed, heavy with silence. In a small village wrapped in mist, whispers rise of seregrog, blood spirits said to descend from Thuringwethil’s brood, thought long vanished from the world.
What begins as unease becomes fear, and fear becomes truth. Something walks by night, unseen but watching, drawn to light, and to love that burns too brightly.
Together, Elrohir and Legolas must face what lingers in the dark, where desire and death entwine, and the line between beauty and horror blurs. For where the light falters, shadows remember, and evil waits to be named again.

Summary
Sixty years have passed since Thranduil pronounced judgment, and now, on the eve of its end, Elrohir rides for Greenwood to keep the vow he made: to win the trust of the wood-elves and their king.
Within the forest’s embrace, he and Legolas are reunited at last—older, changed, but no less bound. Yet the path ahead is far from simple. The memory of old wounds lingers, not only between lovers, but between realms. In a court where Noldorin blood is met with wary eyes, and both Sindar and Silvan pride run deep, Elrohir must earn his place among those who have not forgotten the legacy he bears.
As the lovers navigate fragile politics, ancient prejudice, and the quiet trials set before them, another shadow stirs—deeper and older than mistrust. From Dol Guldur comes a darkness not yet named, threading through dream and root and song. Greenwood watches. And not all who walk beneath its leaves do so with kind intent.

Summary
After the Battle of the Five Armies, Thranduil sent Legolas north for a different reason.
"Find him. Teach him. Judge him. If the line of Isildur shall rise again, let it rise under the eyes of the Woodland Realm. See whether the young man seeks a crown, or whether he might make amends."Bookmarked by StarlitForests

Summary
Aragorn felt a stab in his chest, guilt and love intertwining painfully in his heart, claws digging in deep. Legolas looked positively beautiful, he thought, crowned in the golden rays of the early sun. A dream, something that he would always be to Aragorn. Never anything more.
The elf turned, his hair catching the sun like a net of the finest gold, eyes glittering like emeralds as he tilted his head downwards.
Title from Lauren Aquilina's song "King."
