“And who might you be?” Thranduil asked, his hand cautiously balanced on the hilt of his sword.

Loki appraised the heavily-armed guards around him before rolling over and propping himself up on the last step. Broken glass and splinters of wood crunched beneath his body.

“I am Loki,” he said, still trying to catch his breath. “Of Asgard. And I am...” He raised his eyes to the jagged hole high above him. “...terribly sorry about your roof.”

“I find your company to be”—the smallest of smiles appears on the Elvenking’s lips—“most enchanting.”

Can you believe it's been one year and almost four months since the glorious Elvenfrost posts? I still come to your blog and gaze upon them from time to time, they're so amazing! ^_^

Only a year? It feels like six 😭

Temporal madness aside, thank you so much! I'm so happy those Elvenfrost posts continue to please (the amount of sass those two radiate is almost too much for any one universe to contain eheheh)

asgjfhvdu imagine loki needing to control himself now bc tolkien elves aren't as hardy as aesir/jotunn so he can't get away with stabbing thranduil when he's being a particularly insufferable diva

True. I can’t imagine that Elves, in spite of their immortal nature and knowledge of magical healing techniques, would take very kindly to a blade between the ribs. Least of all a brooding Elf-king. Stabbing is out, but hair pulling and cheek slapping is definitely in. Unfortunately these things are Thranduil’s biggest kinks

so Loki gets put in his place (roughly and thoroughly) whenever he’s being insufferable.

It works out for them both.

Do you have any favorite crossover ships? For me it's Thranduil/Loki 😳

“I’m not big into crossovers—” I begin to say, then I read the second part of this ask and

Holy ship yes, anon. You have fantastic (and very handsome) taste in pairings. I came very close to touching this ship once, but I missed it by mere inches. At least this gives me a reason to reuse this image:

Thranduil/Loki. Thrandroki? Thranki? Elvenfrost? I don’t know what this ship is named. But I do know that it absolutely slays.

It’s not even that far-fetched when you think about it. Like Middle Earth is just one of the outer realms in the MCU, not very advanced, home to men and elves and wizards and dragons, with their own pantheon and everything. Maybe Asgardians consider it a backwater realm or just pay it no mind.

Maybe Loki, Tesseract in hand, arrives on Middle Earth right before the War of the Ring and hears the biblically-long story of Eru and the Ainur and Morgoth and Sauron and the Silmarils, all the way down to the One Ring, and is just like

Another universe in peril because of madmen wielding glowing magic stones and forging lethal jewelry FML the Norns must hate me

Sidenote: This crossover is very flexible with/in the MCU. You could either follow canon and have Loki landing in Middle Earth when a) he originally fell into the wormhole in Thor, b) he escaped death at the end of Thor: The Dark World, c) he got knocked out of the Bifrost by Hela in Thor: Ragnarok and never landed on Sakaar, or d) he used the Tesseract to escape in Avengers: Endgame. Or anywhere in between these possibilities, really. Loki continually disappears and reappears in the MCU with little mention of what he’s been doing in the meantime, so this could simply be One Of Those Adventures he’s had.

Following Scenario A, maybe he crash-landed right in the middle of Mirkwood and was found by Legolas and Tauriel, who brought him all scratched and bleeding and traumatized (because you can never have too much hurt/comfort) to the caves of the Woodland King, who was instantly intrigued by this handsome young sorcerer from another world. Loki is invited to stay and heal, and he gratefully accepts. He’s bathed, his wounds are dressed (and so is he, in regal robes befitting a prince of the Woodland Realm), and he and Thranduil spend many hours in quiet counsel with one another, strolling the vast halls of the king’s domain, getting to know one another.

Loki is undoubtedly bewildered by the attention but pleased by Thranduil’s company. Perhaps he finds it easy to fall into the elven king’s bed. (Lonely Widower Thranduil romancing the vulnerable Asgardian sorcerer is a lovely image indeed.)

There’s so much room for serious Loki Feels, too.

Maybe (Scenario D) this is the Loki who escaped with the Tesseract in Endgame (or a slightly later version who just escaped from the brutal imprisonment of the Time Variance Authority) and he has no reason to want to return to his own realm/universe. Perhaps he looks at the elven king sleeping beside him, his long silver hair draped across his naked skin, and considers staying on Middle Earth for the rest of his life. Here no one knows him. Here he doesn’t have to face the consequences for his actions, even though he was under Thanos’s influence. Here he isn’t a villain, a jealous brother, a failure, or a runt. Here he is simply a mysterious sorcerer prince, beloved (and loved, very passionately so) by a regal Elf king. Perhaps he could even help the people of this world win their war, be the hero for a change, be admired and respected by all. Middle Earth is well-hidden from the other realms; even Heimdall had difficulty seeing what happened here. It’s possible Thanos and the Avengers will never find him. Loki has changed much in the year(s) since he arrived on Middle Earth, but he is not so reformed that he wouldn’t mind letting the rest of the universe burn to the ground while he finally achieves true happiness. He deserves it after all he’s been through, doesn’t he?

It’s too much to think about right now. Loki doesn’t want to spoil the lovely evening with his own unpleasant thoughts. He lays back down beside Thranduil, who sleepily reaches out his long, elegant arm and wraps it around Loki, pulling him gently to his chest. He presses a kiss to Loki’s forehead and strokes his dark hair, which has now grown out quite long, in typical Elf fashion.

“Meleth-nin,” the king murmurs against Loki’s skin. “My love. I am so grateful you fell into my life.”

And Loki just shuts his eyes, tucks his head beneath Thranduil’s chin, and pretends that this is the only life he’s ever known.

🥺💖😢💔😭

There are so many superb things that could be done with this crossover. Maybe Loki is dual-sexed in this AU and, at the end of the war and the razing of Dol Guldur, he weds Thranduil and becomes the Queen of the Woodland Realm and bears a child or children, adorable, beautiful little babies who are half Elf and half Jötunn, and Thranduil’s heart, which had been broken into pieces ever since he lost his beloved wife, finally begins to mend. (See how both Loki and Thranduil heal through their relationship with each other, it’s copacetic and perfect and wonderful and ;aslkdjfaslkdjf I swear I am going to write this fic one day if it kills me, anon. Thank you for opening my eyes to this awesome ship!)

omg Thranduil showing Loki his facial scars and Loki revealing his jotunn skin. Loki getting along with Legolas and earning Daddy's Seal of Approval. Thranduil and Loki both being little shits and ruining Thorin's day during his Very Important quest for Erebor

Yes YESSS. Scars and skin, that’s some good bonding and baring of feelings right there, anon. They would be so good for each other. Can’t you just see them exchanging devilish smirks and laughing with one another? I mean just look at these stupid handsome goofballs

👆 The Menaces of Middle Earth, Don’t Be Fooled 👆

Maybe Loki brings back Thranduil’s youth and impish nature—lmao as if the Elvenking’s been going through a midlife crisis for the last 2 millennia and now he’s got some Hot Young Thing revitalizing his fëa, boy this is just asking for some Daddy Kink—while Thranduil offers Loki the approval, attention, and affection Loki has been yearning for (did I mention Daddy Kink?)

And Legolas no longer fights with his father like he used to because they’re getting along better; Thranduil is less tense and bitter and that happiness filters down to his son, and he and Legolas learn to communicate better and show genuine, open affection again… and because of this, Legolas really likes and appreciates Loki. They bond over weaponry, trade knives and daggers, and teach each other new skills. Loki learns Elvish because Allspeak only works with Westron for some reason (no excuse for this, I just like to imagine Loki learning new words to moan in bed) and the family grow stronger and actually become merry Elves, like Tolkien Elves are supposed to be, not these cold, snobby, aloof assholes that just stand around and look pretty (although they’re good at that last bit in both the books and the films).

And oh dear, Thorin. THORIN. I’m sure Loki choked on his wine the moment he first heard that name, but once he realized there was no relation, it was open season on dwarves. If Thorin Oakenshield didn’t already have a short temper, he certainly would after dealing with the Woodland King and this... this... mischievous prince from a far-off realm who is neither Elf nor Man nor Wizard yet somehow embodies the worst parts of each, and he will throw himself into a raging river in front of a battalion of orcs if it means getting away from these beardless, wine-swilling lunatics

Note: I’m tagging all these Thranduil/Loki posts as #elvenfrost and I’m planning to make more, so... FYI 🤘
