hi i absolutely adore your fics!! i was wondering if you have any fic recs, particularly ones about thranduil or thranduil and legolas? i am fairly new to the fandom and i struggle to navigate ffnet, but recs from any platform would be so so appreciated!! tysm <3
YES!! I'm so glad you asked! I am what you would consider a Legolas' expert (muses mustache in an intellectual way).
First, thank you SO much for reaching out and letting me know you like my stories. It means the world to me. Now, as for your request:
For the Brother Dynamic
If you like Legolas with brothers, you should check out dawtheminstrel on FF.net. I don't usually enjoy that trope, but this author does it beautifully. It is true that, sometimes, Legolas' brothers get a liiiiittle too much "screen time" at the expense of our dear elf, but the OCs are excellent.

The "Absolute Must-Reads"
The following authors are, in my opinion, mandatory reading:
Mirrordance: This author writes in a way I can't even begin to describe. They use words so poetically and create such tender moments while exploring the psychological aspects of Legolas and Thranduil. You just can’t stop reading. I haven’t read their AUs because I don't like that genre, but the rest? Absolute masterpieces, especially "The Halls of My Home."

CheveronChick: Another absolutely incredible author. The relationships between Legolas, Thranduil, and Galion (among other OCs) are spectacular. This author balances tenderness with dark moments with such ease that it feels as if you were right there. They are also quite active here on Tumblr and are extremely kind! I highly recommend their headcanons.

JediSapphire: The original author through whom I first discovered fanfiction. They have a series of related stories that are absolutely magnificent. They are incredibly well-thought-out, though I recommend reading them in chronological order. The author always includes a warning at the beginning of the fic, so you'll know which ones belong to the series and which can be read independently.

These three authors (plus dawtheminstrel) are the best at writing Legolas and Thranduil. You will not be disappointed! I 100% recommend every and each story they have published.
Also, If I am any kind of humble author today, it is thanks to them.
If you want more recs, you can check out my "Favorite Stories" on FF.net. But trust me, these will keep you busy for a couple of weeks at the very least!
