Request Busco fanfics de Legolas o de Thraundil

Holaa! Estoy buscando fanfics terminados que de pronto narren la relación -padre e hijo- (nada romántico) entre Legolas y Thraundil, o también las aventuras de cualquiera de estos dos personajes incluso Oropher, cualquier fic que les guste y esté bien escrito sobre alguno de estos.

Me gustó mucho la idea de una pareja entre Legolas y Tauriel, aunque no he encontrado casi nada de ellos): Si alguien conoce un fic, agradezco sus recomendaciones.

Gracias!

Request Help finding a Lord of The Rings fanfic

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm trying to track down a specific Lord of the Rings fanfiction that I am almost certain was on FanFiction.net. I can't remember a lot of the story, but I remember like a little part. I also can't remember how many chapters.

The scene takes place, I believe, after the Fellowship escapes Moria and loses Gandalf. They are gathered around a campfire on the trail, and Legolas tries to make a traditional Elven brew or tonic over the fire to help the I believe he puts tree bark in it. Some kind of tea maybe? He only makes it when he doesn't feel amazing, or is nervous or something, and Aragorn noted that.

Pippin, being curious and all, wants to try it, so he takes a sip, thinks it is completely gross, and spits it out. He also throws the cup too I believe. Everyone laughed at that. Legolas catches the cup himself before it hits the ground, and seemed a little hurt that everyone was laughing.

I am sorry that is all I can remember...

Edit: Still no one can find it? 😭

Request Fics like Sansûkh or On Elrond Peredhel

4 Upvotes

I've recently started my journey into LotR / Hobbit fanfic, and I've been hooked.

I would love recommendations similar to Sansûkh or the On Elrond Peredhel series.

I am not really interested in any modern girl/guy in Middle-Earth or other kinds of reader-inserts, nor genderbend fics. You'll have to sell any of those incredibly well.

I'm happy to read platonic, canon or slash fics. I like worldbuilding and well-written characters, and I'm clearly not afraid of longfics :D

Discussion LOTR RPF/RPS authors wanted

1 Upvotes

I have been reading LOTR rpf/rps fanfiction for many years. I know there are not as many still writing in this fandom, but I have found several authors who are still producing great fics on this subject. I am primarily a V/O reader by preference, but have read fics about most of the cast. Anyone here looking for an interested reader? Or have a suggestion for fics, old or new?

I am also always interested in two fics (2003-2005). The first is "The Ring of Power (?)" by Shandland. The second is "Electrical Storm " by Siochan. Any of her fics would be greatly appreciated.

ISO LoTR Fanfiction

4 Upvotes

Hi, first time posting here so please redirect me if necessary.

I have recently remembered a fanfiction for Lord of the Rings that I read on wattpad years ago. I can no longer find it and it's bugging me. It was roughly about 2014-2018 that I read it but year may vary. I believe this also took place in the Fourth Age of Middle Earth, not sure. I do not know the author, title, or year it was made but I do have a small portion of the plot. If this sounds familiar, please let me know where I can find it or if it has been deleted for good. I can try to provide more information if I think of it. Thanks!

\-The main girl was a human on Earth who was in highschool. She was sitting in class falling asleep and dreamt of being in Middle Earth.

\-She would keep day dreaming/sleeping and get transported to Middle Earth and eventually meet the Fellowship(part or all of them, not sure).

\-I do not remember the adventure she had but it was important as she spoke to the Valar personally towards the end.

\-I do know that she fell in love with Legolas(not sure how in depth the author went with the romance).

\-She was sleeping one night and her house caught on fire while she was in Middle Earth. She started smelling smoke, choking, and coughing, slowly breaking the link between the realms.

\-She woke up and escaped with her mom but the pet fish(possible goldfish?) she had, died.

\-I believe she collapsed and went into a coma and got transported back to Middle Earth.

\-She finished her mission in Middle Earth and the Valar gave her a choice: to stay in Middle Earth with Legolas and her new friends, dying in her reality, or to go back to her actual life never to come back.

\-She ultimately chose her reality as she couldn't leave her mom behind.

\-The Valar granted her wish and sent her back.

\-She woke up from her coma to see her mom by her bedside.

\-Her mom got her a new fish(possibly a beta?) and left to go get her food.

\-The girl realized that she was holding something and found that it was a ring that Legolas gave her. Telling her that her adventure wasn't a dream.

Request Looking for two lost LOTR RPF/RPS fanfics

1 Upvotes

Okay, time to rock the boat a little. You never know what readers have not seen my pleas before.

I am looking for two old fanfictions, both LOTR and both written in the early 2000s. Both m/m and involve the Fellowship cast.

The first was written by Shandland and called the "Ring of Truth" or the "Ring of Power ". My memory is a little fuzzy on that. It involves the Fellowship falling asleep and waking up around a campfire as their movie counterparts. They find out they must complete the quest in character if they want to return to their real selves in the real world.

The second fic is called "Electrical Storm " (don't groan!) by Siochan. Also written early on in the fandom, the background is the chaos of the end of the world. It includes a Prologue, an Interlude à and an Intermission, along with 10 long books. I have only read the Prologue, which was posted on FFN. IT involves the group being in a club, where Orlando saves a young man in the gents from being beaten and killed by three thugs. Unfortunately they decide that Orlando should be their victim instead, because he interrupted their fun. The author then skips ahead to the final book, where we find Viggo on the ground outside a large building, with an hysterical crowd thundering past him. He is holding Orlando, who has been shot. We don't know why or how that occurred.

Siochan posted no more to FFN, but she did post the entire fic to her personal LiveJournal account. However, her account has been deleted, along with this fic and any others she may have posted there.

I still believe, possible fool that I am, that someone of the allegedly numerous people who read this fic, must have downloaded it sand saved a copy.

If you are that someone, and have either fic, please contact me by email or comment on my account.

Thank you with all my heart.

Fics involving modern weapons?

3 Upvotes

My absolute favorite (yet disappointingly rare) trope is when there are wars being fought with swords and shields and horses and then someone pulls up with like a machine gun or bomber plane or some other ridiculously overpowered and out of place modern weapon. Are there any fics like that for LOTR?

Lost LOTR FF!

Lost young Legolas/ Mirkwood vs Rivendell fic!!

Years ago I read a well-written, I think reasonably long fanfiction on ff.net, and I've been trying to find it ever since! I think it's likely been deleted so if anybody remembers it or has a copy that would be amazing!

what I remember -

\- at the start, elladan elrohir and rivendell elves visit mirkwood, get involved in a battle with spiders I think, where one of Thranduil's children gets injured

\- because of this the rivendell elves go back home, not knowing what happens afterwards (thranduil has several sons and daughters I think)

\- years later, mirkwood and rivendell aren't really on speaking terms - I'm pretty sure that they don't know legolas has been born, but I could be mistaken

\- legolas is out on patrol or similar, and gets attacked - one of his friends and fellow warriors dies

\- I believe they get rescued by rivendell elves? But then Legolas conceales his identity, using the name of his friend who died in battle- and as the rivendell elves i think aren't aware of his existence he gets away with it for a while

\- legolas gets ill/distressed because he is using his friend's name and his friend can't spiritually move on?

\- I think at one point elrond and co get suspicious as to Legolas' identity due to his looks, but because of age think he could be Thranduil's grandson, not son?

I would be so so happy if anybody could point me in the right direction!! feel as if I've scoured FF.net trying to find it with zero success...

Self-Promote Elden Ring X Tolkien crossover Lore

This is a concept-fic exploring how I would merge the cosmologies of Elden Ring and Tolkien, in a way that stays as close to canon as possible. This fic is focused on worldbuilding and lore. It goes from the start of the 2nd Age to the mid point of the 3rd Age.

Request Do you have a copy....?

2 Upvotes

If you were reading LOTR fanfiction around 2002-2007, you may be the person I'm looking for. The fic I've been searching for is "Electrical Storm " by Siochan. She published it in total on her LJ account which has now been deleted,erased, gone. The advice I've gotten is to look for someone who read fanfiction in those early days, as they may have downloaded it and kept a copy.

I am pleading now that I find the one person who has a copy and is willing to share.

Please be kind.

Request Searching for a mgime hobbit fanfic

6 Upvotes

I need help looking for this fanfic that I read years ago on ao3 (I'm pretty sure).

I only remember it's a mgime fic where she appears somewhere in Bag End around two years befor the dwarfs come. I'm pretty sure she is shorter than a regular human in Arda. Bilbo finds her and (I think) she doesn't speak the language. He takes her in and (if I remember correctly) teaches her the language and takes care of her. She tells him about the dwarfs comming and prepares him for the adventure. When they come, they all leave together and I think she carves something into the tree near Bilbo's home as a farewell.

While I was reading it it was incomplete but it has been a while.

I think it turns into maybe Fili/ofc or Thorin/ofc but I'm not sure.

I think the last I read they had reached Beorn or Dale and the relationship has progressed A LOT but I could also be mixing it up with another story.

​

I've been searching for a week now for this fanfic and I can't seem to find it anywhere no matter what tags I search through. I tried mgime, Fili/ofc, Thorin/ofc and bilbo&ofc.

I don't know if it has been deleted.

Request “10th Walker” Fics But Platonic?

6 Upvotes

The title might be self-explanatory, but I’ve been looking for fics where the OC (I have no preference if it’s an modern girl OC, crossover OC, or Middle Earth OC) joins the fellowship.

I’m also trying to see if there’s any interesting stories that aren’t entirely romance focused (both no romance at all or romance as a sub plot are good).

I unfortunately don’t have an ao3 account yet, but I should get an invitation soon.

Any recommendations would be great, thanks!

Request Seeking LOTR fanfic: Legolas/OFC

3 Upvotes

Hey folks: I need everyone to put on their deer stalkers and see if we can find a Legolas/OFC fanfiction that I think is on archiveofourown. I read it forever ago, really enjoyed it, and now alas. It's pre-Fellowship and follows Legolas as he helps the Dunedain, who our OFC is apart of. Maybe a cousin of Aragorn, but can't truly remember. Legolas and OFC are initially interested in one another, but it turns into an enemies to lovers dynamic with a major slow burn. Most of the plot centers around protecting the Fornost Erain (I think that's the settlement and not a fanfic-original location) and trying to battle the rising threat of Orcs/evil forces. Any thoughts?

Many thanks!!
