Summary
"The people are fools!" Denethor whirled around, his eyes bright with a frantic, desperate light. "You are my son. My heir. The blood of Westernesse is pure in you. You were taught that the word of the Steward is law. Do you deny your blood? Do you deny your father?"
Boromir flinched. The weight of his upbringing was a physical thing, a mountain of expectation he had climbed every day of his life. Denethor had shaped him, molded him into the shield of Gondor, and for forty years, Boromir had never known a world where his father’s word was not the absolute truth.
"I do not deny you, Father," Boromir whispered.
"Then prove it." Denethor stepped forward, placing a tray into Boromir’s shaking hands. On it sat a delicate porcelain pot and a single cup. The steam rising from it smelled faintly of mountain herbs and something sharper,something bitter. "The 'King' is weary from his paperwork. He sits in his solar, vulnerable. Bring him this tea. Let the line of Stewards be restored before the sun sets."

Fool of a Took by AnonymousBookshelf
Fandoms: The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types, The Lord of the Rings (Jackson Movies), The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
26 Apr 2026

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
Legolas the wood elf isn't terribly talkative and tends to hold himself aloof from the Fellowship for quite a bit of their journey. If only everyone knew that it was because he was guilty, anxious, lonely, and homesick. Since he doesn't tell them, though, they don't.
Or:
What really goes on in that pretty blond head, anyway? MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS?

Summary
In a bold move in the feud between Erebor and Mirkwood, King Thror orders the kidnapping of Thranduil’s son Legolas, a child too young to fight back and the most important thing in Middle Earth to the Elvenking.
Prince Thorin, not even of age himself, finds he cannot let this stand, even if the kidnapped child in question is an elf. With the aid of his closest friends, he defies his grandfather and commits to protecting the young elf prince, no matter what that means.

An Elf!?! by Insane_Lollypop

Summary
"He’s the finest specimen of a Longbeard I’ve seen in three centuries," Bifur grunted, signing the words with a look of genuine awe.
"It’s a problem, is what it is," Dwalin growled, crossing his massive arms as he watched the scene across the hall.
At least five Dwarves,sons and daughters of noble houses,were currently surrounding Gimli’s table. One was offering a finely wrought silver brooch; another was reciting a poem about the durability of granite; a third was trying to catch his eye with a display of masterfully tempered daggers.
By all accounts, Gimli should have been the proudest Dwarf in the Mountain. Instead, he looked as though he were chewing on a lemon.
....
........
..........
.....
there was a blur of movement,a whistle of wind and the distinct clack of a bow being drawn.The music died. The laughter cut out into a jagged silence.
Legolas was suddenly standing at Gimli’s side. His bow was up, the string pulled taut against his cheek, and the gleaming tip of a Mirkwood arrow was leveled directly at the center of the Dwarven lady’s forehead.

A localized rift of shimmering, iridescent light tore open just above the stone plateau. Gandalf stumbled back, his eyes wide. "That... was not the spell," he whispered.
With a sound like a thunderclap, four figures were unceremoniously dumped onto the stone.

Words Unspoken by Roselightfairy for pt_tucker
Fandoms: The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
14 Apr 2019
Tags
Summary
Based on a prompt by TAFKAB formerly in the 2000GigolasFics collection. Legolas and Gimli have secretly been in a relationship since a chance meeting in Mirkwood several years before, but don’t dare to let their families or companions know about it, for fear of being forced apart. After all this time, they’ve become very good actors – but maybe not good enough to last through a journey with seven companions who are quickly catching on – or their deepening fondness for one another.

all that it touches to wonder by cynassa

Summary
Life after war has much more politics than Gimli thought, and much less Legolas than he would like, but the latter he knows (or believes) he has to get used to. Or: Legolas leaps, occasionally stumbling, into a new age, while Gimli can't see the wood for the (green)leaf.
"How do your people court then?"
The question was not as abrupt as it would seem, firstly because the news that his brother was courting had clearly left Legolas in deep thought for a number of days, secondly because Legolas had long ago confessed his curiosity about the lives and customs of Gimli's kin, and thirdly because Legolas' grace was well-known to be in his light feet and not his manners.
However, Gimli saw no reason to let him have his own way entirely. "And by my people do you mean the Longbeards, or the Dwarves of Erebor, or the wandering mender that I now seem to be?"
"I meant," Legolas said, "wandering jesters."
