Table of Contents
In this story I will follow Thranduil from a young, rather insecure elf until he becomes a cold and majestic Elvenking in the Hobbit. Revolving around how he met his wife – Legolas' mother – and their relationship, I will also describe many of the more important events in Tolkien's book Silmarillion through his eyes, beginning in the First Age and continuing through the history of Middle-earth.
Rated for (tasteful) mature scenes in later chapters.
Translations: Ellon=male elf, ellyn is the plural form. Elleth=female elf, ellith is the plural form. Nana=mum, Ada=dad.
Young Thranduil has an annoying shadow, and important guests visit his home. Oropher is not very patient with his shy son's behaviour...
Aerneth tries to forget her unrequited love but when someone thinks about her she gets a new chance.
