18+ ⁞ some thoughts on legolas being inexperienced

tags. f!reader ◞ smut

an eruption of need to touch you everywhere, yet there’s a foreign kind of hesitancy that tingles in his fingers.

he handles you like glass at first, a quiet fear that shows in his movements and tense muscles. the timbre of his voice coated with an unnatural breathlessness as he meets your eyes, “may i touch you here?”

fingers ghosting your skin, intent to map every detail of your body to memory.

his emboldened smile when you bite your lip and buck your hips into his hand. a new shade of lust darkening his eyes upon the realization of how needy you can be for him. your pleading eyes asking for more, an eager nod when his hand dips lower, when he asks, “and may i touch you…here?”

he’s a quick learner. a testament to his heightened senses, he observes you with a keen intensity—the sounds of pleasure, an urgency in your breath, a constellation of goosebumps scattered across quivering thighs. he gains a fluency akin to second nature.

and then there’s the crumbling of his careful composure, like a snap of his bowstring, when you touch him . . .

the uptick in legolas content recently has got me feeling like this fr

i think the funniest thing that happened with my legolas writing so far is that scent, the omegaverse dynamics request from the 1k celebration, is doing absolute numbers on ao3. out of all my carefully curated thousands of words of legolas yearning, the tiny 800 word filthy ficlet is the one people are like yup. this is the one. ☝️

@lady-legolas-greenleaf what have you done to me (affectionate)

also real talk i adore the way you write legolas' dialogue. do you have any advice how to write the flowery way he speaks???

actually yeah!! thank you for the question!! 🌿 i’d love to ramble about this haha

for me, the trick with legolas isn’t “flowery language” so much as precision. he doesn’t ramble, he doesn’t modernize, and he doesn’t explain himself unless he has to. the silence of what he doesn’t say, what’s implied, does almost as much of the heavy lifting as what he does say.

i try to think of his dialogue as slightly ceremonial even when he’s being casual. he chooses words carefully and often says less than a human character would. if it sounds pretty, it’s because it’s restrained. if a line sounds too explanatory or too long, i usually cut it down and trust the implication instead.

tone-wise, i aim for something slightly ceremonial but still human in nature. his speech is older and more precise, but not stiff or archaic, and i avoid modern phrasing as much as possible. his grammar is clean, his contractions are rare but not forbidden: think “perhaps/yet/still/enough” that sort of beat.

i hope this helps a bit! let me know if you want examples or anything!! 🌿

Sorry I just think Legolas is an absolute munch and needs to eat it at least once a day

random but I love how Legolas spreads his legs east and west during the council of Elrond. Manspreading is ew but he’s serving babygirl husband realness
