- From Through Another's Eyes
(be prepared to cry)
Imagine if you were floating alone in space for nearly 50 years after all your friends went to sleep and never woke up, and just when all hope seems to be lost another ship appears this weird-ass alien pops out with all this tech, somehow starts TALKING to you with said tech, and promises to help you - DOES help you, and even sacrifices his chance to go home to save you and your people - and then you find out that his name means āmercyā in his home language ???
Shit, dude, Iād have assumed God himself was sending me a message.
āJ.R.R. Tolkien has become a sort of mountain, appearing in all subsequent fantasy in the way that Mt Fuji appears so often in Japanese prints. Sometimes itās big and up close. Sometimes itās a shape on the horizon. Sometimes itās not there at all, which means that the artist either has made a deliberate decision against the mountain, which is interesting in itself, or is in fact standing on Mt Fuji.ā
ā āMagic Kingdomsā (1999), Terry Pratchett.
how do you imagine the first time mereneth saw thranduils scars? did she know beforehand they were there or was it a surprise? and what about legolas same question?
Tbh I am not sure if youāre referring to the first time she EVER saw any of his scars, or if youāre asking about seeing them in Valinor specifically. So Iāll do my best to answer both.Ā
By the time that Thranduil and Mereneth met, heād already survived the attacks on Doraith twice, the War of Wrath, plus lord knows how many smaller battles over his lifetime. Mereneth knew about all of that; Thranduil had told her about it. Maybe not in great detail ā¦ but he'd told her. The thing is, most of the Silvans didn't really experience or participate in āOrganized Warā the way the other elves did with eachother & with the forces of darkness. So it was difficult for her to really comprehend the scope of what he had already stubbornly survived through. Mereneth KNEW about the scars, but they were still a surprise.Ā
Ā The first time she saw most of Thranduils scars wasā¦. Very emotional. For both of them.Ā
For Mereneth her poor brain basically short circuited. To know and love Thranduil in one of the most lighthearted periods of his life, and then to see the evidence of what it had taken for him to get there was extremely difficult to fit together into one cohesive image. Especially because she worked with the Healers as a scribe and had a better idea than the average population about what kind of wounds would leave each type of scar.Ā
He didn't need to tell her that he had been stabbed so deeply in the side, the hilt had almost been flush with his skin. He didn't need to explain the horrible infection he had gotten on his leg that could only be treated by cutting away the affected tissue. Or the slash wounds to his stomach that made it impossible to sit up on his own for weeks.Ā
He didn't need to tell her because she could read it in the scars. It was (understandably) A LOT to take in all at once.Ā
For Thranduil, Mereneth seeing his scars felt extremely vulnerable in a way it usually didn't. Usually, scars were scars. Things happened; warriors got hurt. The good or the lucky ones lived to get hurt another day & kept the evidence to remind them not to be stupid that way again. They were a sign that he had protected those he loved and stood up for things he believed in.Ā
But when Mereneth looked upon them, he was not a warrior with scars. He was just Thranduil, with every worst day of his life written out on his skin for her to examine. He worried that it would be evidence of too much cruelty for Mereneth to still love him, because how could anybody live through such cruel things without being equally horrific? He worried that she would finally realize how broken he still was. That she would finally understand and come to agree that he was not worth her time.Ā
It took a LOT of convincing on Merenethās behalf for Thranduil to beleive that if anyting, it only made her love him more.Ā
The first time that she saw all of Legolasā scars was (initially and externally) less emotional than when she saw Thranduil's. She had a MUCH better idea of what to expect and had done her best to brace herself to not react in any way that might make Legoals feel subconscious or judged or prevent him from sharing things with her in the future.
Ā However, the longer she knew about them, the more she learned about some of the stuff that Legolas had lived through, the more it āhauntedā her in a way. She started having nightmares where she was forced to witness horrible things being done to Legolas but was unable to help or otherwise intervene in any way. Mereneth already felt guilty for dying and āabandoningā her family, but that guilt would sometimes become almost crushing. The elfling she had been forced to leave behind had been so tiny and perfect and innocentā¦ The elf before her now was a War Hero in a way even legends struggled to convey.Ā
The scars were reminders of the thousands of things in his life she had missed. The thousands of times he could have used the comfort of his mother, and did not have it. The thousands of things she would never know about him. It was so ā¦. Lonely.
Ā While Thranduil, Ferdan, and Galion did their best to understand and help her through all her feelings, it was hard for them to really āgetā waht she was feeling since they were there the entire time. They got to witness Legolas slowly transfomr into the Elf that appeared on the shores of Valinor. I headcanon that Thranduils mother died when the dwarves attacked Thingol over the jewels, and so she also missed ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦. A Lot when it came to Thranduilās life. The two of them I think would bond very deeply over this, and be important sources of support and comfort for eachother.
Legolas may have been absolutely spoiled rotten but that does not mean he wasn't raised to be a very responsible person
Thranduil: Of course you can have every single second of my love and attention whenever you want it but also let's sing your cleanup song for all 900 of your toys littered over every inch of my life.
Thranduil: I will 100% buy or make you anything your heartĀ desires but only after you've done the dishes ššĀ
Thranduil: I would kill Morgoth with my bare hands if that was the only way for you to smile again but so help me ERU if there are clothes all over your floor when I walk in there not even Galion can save you.Ā
Thranduil: I will kick anyone's ass that even looks at my son the wrong way. I'll kick Galadriel's ass. I'll kick Erus ass. But I will also point and laugh when Ferdan makes him run laps before sunrise when he knows his warriors were drinking when they shouldn't have been.Ā
Thranduil: You are the must precious creature that could have ever been created & I am blessed everyday to have you as my son and in my life at all. But that absolutely does not mean I will not tie you to that chair until you finish all of your assigned readings.Ā
Gimli, in the mountain meeting the ghost army: We shouldnāt have come. I knew it, we shouldnāt have come. Legolas: We had to, thereās strength in numbers. Gimli: Well, thereās also death in numbers, pointy- Itās called a massacre.
me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesnāt even know I exist: I am obsessed with you
me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who hasnāt updated anything in four years: I think about you often and I hope youāre alright
me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who wrote one life altering banger and nothing else: I hope your pillow is cool and your skin is clear and you find money in a forgotten jeans pocket
me, whispering to every single person on this post: please leave one singular comment saying literally any of that
Thranduil and Elrond to the Twins and Legolas: Why is it when something happens, itās always you three?
(Two thousand years later when Aragorn is living in Rivendell)
Thranduil and Elrond to the Twins, Legolas and Aragorn: Why is it when something goes wrong, itās always you four?
Sometimes Im reminded about the difference in how Thranduil and Oropher started their Kingships and suddeny im sobbing on the floor

Either at 3am in the morning or when I've completely zoned out while doing something and this idea just hits me
Yes, quite a few @growingingreenwood @elaratheguardian @lusseeldalion just to name a couple :)
Depends. If it's a drabble or like 600 words, never. If it is a chapter of an ongoing fic or a longer one-shot, about a week.
I have not idea what that is hahah
At my dining table at 1 am in the morning or in my bed.
Shattered Wings. I just wanted to give something new a go so I wrote a fic for a new fandom and it is probably my most popular one.
Chapter 5 of Aftermath. I'm suuuuuper excited to share it and it will hopefully be ready in a couple of weeks.
I normally write the climax first or the original piece of dialogue I thought of that inspired the fic or the setting that inspired the fic or the moment that inspired the fic (I think you get the point) first then write the rest around it
Nope
Erm... I don't research. I probably should but oh well.
YES!!! Please please please send me requests!! I pinky swear I won't bite!! Not commissions though... sorry
Posting something on time or consistently. I could post three new chapters in a week then not update for 3 months
lotr, thranduil, legolas
Aftermath, Life Through The Ages and Shattered Wings
Yup. I have a writing playlist that I'll sometimes listen to and some lyric or a certain vibe will just cause an idea to strike me
Whump/angst
idk, haven't really thought about that
I'm torn between Aftermath and Through Another's Eyes. Without spoiling anything, Aftermath would be like an adventure/mystery/medical/whump show. Through Another's Eye would be a bit like a comedy/found family/drama/HEARTBREAKING
Nope. Only listen to music to get ideas.
Thank you for your time and attention and I hope you guys check out some of my stuff :)

I wish I could give myself reverse arachnophobia. Make all spiders irrationally terrified of me, even despite of being aware that I won't hurt them.
Hi!!! How are you? I hope you're well! I asked this a couple of weeks ago and idk if it got swallowed into the dark depths of your inbox or if you're still thinking and haven't gotten back yet (if you are then I am SO sorry for sending this twice!!!) but...
When do you think was the exact moment Thranduil realised Sauron was back and how do you think he reacted? Was it more of sitting in silence for a few centuries and contemplating all life decisions, or was it crashing out for five minutes followed by an exhausted sigh? (Sorry again if I'm spamming you)
Have an amazing day!! ššš
Helloooo!! Im doing well thank you š
I didnāt take Thranduil very long to suspect it was Sauron behind the sudden darkness in his forest for many reasonsā¦ the timing of the arrival, the inelegance behind it, the ruthlessness, the strength. No other answer really made any logical sense to him. He told the other Elven Realms about his worries that Sauron had not been fully destroyed and was already working on building his strength back up again.Ā But the other realms were too desperate to finally have some peace, and didn't believe him. Kept insisting it wasn't possible.Ā
After Sauron learns that the other realms don't believe Thranduil's warnings, he sent him some sort of sign or message that made it EXPLICITLY CLEAR Sauron was the one in Thranduils forest, but was careful not to do it in a way that Thranduil could use as proof for the others. Literally just because Sauron is an Asshole that likes to play with his food
(Same vibes as the joke-story that goes vaguely like: Ā āOne day your dog that youāve had for years and years turns to you, and begins a conversation with you in perfect English. After a while, you ask him why he decided to speak now after all of this time, and the dogs says āBecause nobody will ever believe you.ā and then never speaks again.āĀ )
Anyways. After it was officially confirmed it was Sauron, Thranduil crashed tf out (somewhat) privately for a few days and then was like āWell. Knowing for certain that its Sauron does not change the fact that we have already been locked in this stalemate war. It does not change the fact that we will not leave our forest. IT PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF, ESPECIALLY BECUASE NOW IĀ Ā K N O WĀ Ā IāM RIGHT BUT I WILL STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH EVERYONE ELSE NOT BELIEVING ME ABOUT IT but other than that it does not change anything. We have already been doing the impossible, and will simply have to continue.āĀ
To be honest, the rage of being 100000000000000000% CERTAIN that it was Sauron in his backyard was probably, like, half the reason Greenwood survived the Third Age. āIām right, and the rest of the world WILL KNOW, and I WILL LIVE SO THAT THEY HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO ME ABOUT IT.āĀ
Sorry it took so long to reply!! It was a mixture of pondering the response and seeing if i could finish the fic I started writing literally 6 months ago on this topic and the answer is: No - and I will continue to wrestle the Demons Inside Of Me that say I should just post it as two chapters.
(You arnt spamming, and even if you did I wouldn't care šššš)
Thank you! Stay safe š„°
iām really sorry about my behavior. you see, growing up, my family- *remembers blaming all my problems on other people is really annoying and unhealthy* i mean. i am responsible for all the evils of this world and i bear sins like the sky bears the stars
I'm accepting requests for lotr stories!
Feel free to send a plot you'd like to see or a one-line prompt!
