Warnings: Angst with a happy end

Tale Teller´s 52 week writing challenge masterlist 

Anyway, enjoy^^ ~~~~~~~

The answer was written in your eyes. You knew what had to be done, you knew it was the only way for the others to escape. You couldn't and didn't want to risk the lives of the others. It was the only way. And he knew it. He saw it in your eyes clear as day, shaking his head in denial as a soft broken whisper left his lips, making the others turn their heads, wanting to know what's going on.

"No..."

Taking a step forward to get to you, he didn't notice when or how his uncle grabbed his shoulder, pulling him back. He reached out towards you in a desperate attempt to catch you and pull you into his embrace. And protect you from the undeniable fate that was about to engulf you in an abyss. An abyss of pain, horror and uncertainty.

Kili let out a scream, which was muted by a hand and a harsh shush from someone. He watched with tears in his eyes while you were abducted.  Taken away to who knows where and he couldn't do anything.

You were afraid, he saw it in your eyes, but you still put up a brave front. Perhaps to reassure everyone, everything will be fine. But Kili knows you put up a brave front to convince yourself everything will be okay, even though you know it's a lie.

He broke when you mouthed three little words to him with a quivering smile before you were knocked out. Three little words that would've brightened his entire day, made butterfly's flutter inside his stomach, made his heart do summersaults and burst from his chest, made his whole body feel flushed and loved, three little words he never heard from your mouth, yet craved for without knowing.

'I love you.'

Three little words that would've made him so happy, if...they weren't said in these conditions.

Fire surged through Kili's veins, fueling his blood with searing hot rage. He struggled against his uncle and brothers' hold on him, shouting and roaring against the hand, pushing against his mouth. Hands from different angles grabbed him as he thrashed in their hold. Hushed concerned commands were thrown about the cave.

Kili watched as the orcs fled into the forest, like cowards. From what exactly he didn't know, not that he cared anyway. His eyes never wavered from your limp body in the filthy hands - he so badly, wished to cut off, of an orc as it made you gradually vanish in the forest, away from him, ripped from a safe place full of camaraderie, you learned to call home, ever since the journey started.

The moment you disappeared from the brown-haired dwarf's view, was the exact same moment when Kili felt a sudden pain invading his body from within his heart. Spreading down his legs and up to his neck, shoulders and arms. The fire within his veins ceased to exist, leaving behind tired protesting limbs.

He broke out of the barricade of hands that held him in place, running out of the steep cave, scanning the area, trying to find a trace of you or the scum who caught you. Nothing but paw prints of the wargs and hoove prints of horses. Kili sunk to the ground, his legs giving in, unable to carry the sudden weight and pain within his chest A scream full of agony and fury cut through the air before he penetrated the dirt with his bare fists.

"Kili! Kee, stop! Stop, that's not going to bring Y/N back!" Fili grabbed his brothers' shoulder with a trembling hand. Kili glanced towards his brother, wanting to give him a piece of his mind, but the comments that were about to leave his lips were silenced when he saw the sorrowful pain in his brothers' eyes. His brother was hurting just as much as he did. Kili glanced behind him, everyone was staring at him or at the path the orcs took, with a distant look in their eyes.

Thorin studied the path with stern eyes for a moment before marching forwards, the others looked at him with bewildered looks. "Thorin, where are you going?" Bilbo asked, hesitantly going after him, "isn't it obvious? We're going!" Thorin replied, moving past a baffled Fili and Kili who looked like he was about to murder someone.

"You're going to leave Y/N behind!!? AFTER EVERYTHING!!??" Kili yelled, glaring at his uncle's back, not believing what Thorin said. Thorin turned with a frown on his face. "Who said anything about leaving her?"

*(*)*(*)*

The company had followed the tracks towards the orcs camp, Bilbo had scouted out the area, telling them that the wargs were nowhere to be seen. He guessed that some orcs took them to report what they found. Bilbo said you were held captive inside a deep hole with two orcs keeping guard.

"Alright, Bilbo said there are about twenty orcs around this camp. You all know the plan?" Thorin asked the others nodded. "Good, to your positions, Fili Kili with me." The brothers followed after Thorin, sneaking past the bushes as quietly as they could, Bilbo would distract the two orcs by the pit while Thorin, Fili and Kili got you out of the hole. The others would distract and kill the orcs by the fire.

Everything went how it was supposed to... until a loud roaring sound of a horn was heard. And hell broke loose. Kili rushed in between the fighting men and jumped over the falling corpses of orcs, trying to get to the pit where you were supposedly being held imprisoned, Fili followed close behind him.

"Y/N?" Kili called out as he peered into the pit covered with wooden bars. "Kili...?" You questioned, looking up to see the beautiful brown-haired prince above you. "And Fili!" The golden prince's head appeared above the bars, next to Kili.

"Y/N, stay there! We're going to get you out!"

"It's not like I can go anywhere, but okay." You muttered quietly, watching as the two brothers got rid of the thin wooden bars. Kili jumped into the pit as soon as the bars were removed. He rushed towards you and scooping you in his arms.

"Are you alright? Did they hurt you? I swear if they did!" Kili rambled, cradling your face in his hands with the uttermost delicacy, his brown eyes examined your face, looking for any kind of injuries. He paused when he found the badly looking cut right next to your right eye. You saw how Kili eyes became darker, full of guilt and anger, he softly stroked the skin next to your wound with his thumb, he looked sad.

Kili snatched you into a hug, pressing his head against your shoulder as he shook.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry you had to go through all this! This is my fault, I should've protected you better." He whispered, his voice cracking as he held you tighter. You wanted to tell him everything was fine he but cut you off.

"Y/N, by everything above, I swear I won't let anyone touch you or harm you in any way ever again! I promise with my entire being that I will protect you. Properly this time, I promise you, my ghisvashel."

you were stunned, eyes wide as you tried to make sense of what he just said. Kili. The adorable and sweet dwarven prince. The one who you got a big crush on for ages, called you his treasure...Surely you were dreaming. You let out an involuntary squeak.

"Even though I absolutely love that you finally proclaimed your undying love for each other, I really do, but could this I don't know,  wait a moment "after" we got out of here without orcs surrounding us!?" Fili shouted.

"And brother! I can see from here that Y/N is alright!! Don't tell me you're turning into Dori now."

You and Kili let out a snort, "ready kick some arse, my ghisvashel?" He reached out his hand for you to take, with a mischievous grin. You laughed, taking his hand. "Always, my dear prince under the mountain."

Fili lifted Kili and you out of the pit before giving you one of his daggers, "can't fight without a weapon now, can we?" He winked, before raising his hands up in a mock surrender when you gave him a playful glare.

The three of you rushed into the battle, slashing down the few remaining orcs with the others.

You stabbed the dagger into the head of an orc before turning around, watching as Kili took down an orc that was close by. He stayed close to you, striking down any orc that came too close for his liking. You gave him a quick smile before glancing behind him, an orc was sneaking up behind him without him knowing.

"Kili! Duck!" you shouted Kili reacted immediately, ducking as you threw your dagger at the orc behind him. "Right in the eye!" You called out in victory as the dagger dug into the orc's left eye. Kili looked behind him with wide eyes.

"You sure know how to get yourself in sticky situations now, don't you, dear?" You said smugly.

"What can I say." Kili grinned, "I was never meant to fight on my own, amrâlimê~"

Prompt: The sea of emotion swelled, drowning him in the chaos of his thoughts.

Word count 1,211

Elves were running in and out of Mirkwood carrying  freshly traded goods, messengers were sent on horses to deliver letters and invitations, Mirkwood was in buzz the feast of starlight was nearing and everyone wanted it to be perfect, walking through the halls Thranduil was overseeing the preparations, while entertaining Mirkwoods new guest a young ranger from the north. 

Watching the elves going back and forth your eyes were fixed on everything they landed on, it was a sight to see, a large amount of food and drink was a surprise to you what the elves would consume in a night you would take up to 3 months to eat and drink, it was a shock to you but you did you best not to show it well not in front of the king anyway. 

"This is where the main feast will be held" Thranduil's voice echoed in the large empty room. 

Turning your head from his face you looked into the room where his hand was pointing to, and your mouth dropped open "it's beautiful" you said as you looked around taking a step closer to the room, it was a very large room almost the size of three great kings halls you thought as you placed your hand on the door, the floor was stone but coated in green to make the illusion of grass, running the whole length of the room were trees with red and orange leafs, hanging from the ceiling were large chandleries that looked like stars and twinkled like them, turning back to Thranduil who was studying your face with curiosity you smiled at him "your kingdom is beautiful, my lord" you said as you watched him smile. 

"Where would you like to see next?" Thranduil said. 

"The gardens?" You asked. 

Getting a nod and a smile Thranduil held out his hand and motioned you to follow him as he started walking, you had heard from your captain that elves loved nothing but to show off their plants so while you were here you definitely had to see the great gardens of Mirkwood. 

....

A few days had passed since you arrived in Mirkwood taking in all the sights, and tonight you were granted the permission from Thranduil to join the night patrol of the forest to put your ranger skills to the test of the elves, something your captain had asked Thranduil before you arrived.

Walking back to his chambers Thranduil was joined by Tauriel who was carrying a lot of paper. 

"Is that everything?" He asked. 

"Yes my lord, everything we can know about our guest (y/n), and the final plans for the feast" Tauriel spoke as she handed them over to Thranduil. 

"That will be everything, I will be in my chambers if there are any problems" taking the papers with him Thranduil walked to his chamber, as Tauriel bowed before turning back around and heading to the front gate to meet you and the rest of the night patrol, you had all meet and bonded really quickly, and if Tauriel was being honest it was nice to have another female around that she could talk to.  

....

Taking off his crown and cloak Thranduil placed them to the side as he walked into his main chambers, placing the papers down on his desk to read later as he entered his private kitchens for something to drink and eat.

Returning to his desk Thranduil picked up the file Tauriel had gathered about you and began to read it, finding out that you were fluent in elvish and dwarvish, you could read their language too and write it, you were one of the best rangers even at a young age, Thranduil was impressed when he would invite rangers to the feast he would normally get the older males, but this year was a first to get a young and highly skilled female. 

Placing your file down Thranduil picked up the rest of the paper worked and worked his way through the orders for the feast, signing the papers that needed to be sign and he would give them back to Tauriel in the morning, rising to his feet he dragged himself to his bed to try and sleep, but something in the pit of his stomach felt wrong.

....

Standing in the forest you were listening to all the sounds, trying to work out exactly what direction the night patrol had gone, you had the best tracking skills, but you found it hard to keep up with elves who could run in tress, and somehow you got turned around in the dark forest, you could feel the dark magic trying to creep into your mind. 

"I have to find them" you muttered as you looked from branch to branch trying to pinpoint any movement that wasn't made by the wind, lowing yourself to the ground you sat crossed legged focusing your breathing and trying to clear your mind of the darkness, slowly you started to hear voices coming from behind you but you couldn't understand them, taking a beath you listened as the voices started to get closer to you bring a foul scent with them, jumping to your feet at the branch snapping behind you, you turned and came face to face with a pack of giant spiders.

....

Tossing and turning Thranduil just couldn't get to sleep, the feeling he had was not going away, sitting up in his bed he rubbed his face, something was wrong but he just didn't know what, pulling the covers back Thranduil stretched his legs off the bed and reached for his robe when he heard a knock on his door, "who could that be in the middle of the night" Thranduil muttered as he rose to his feet tying his robe as he walked towards his door and opened it to see a bloody Tauriel standing there. 

"What in the name of Valar?" Thranduil said in confusion and shock.

"My lord, (y/n) is hurt a pack of spiders in the forest got to her before we did" Tauriel spoke as fast as she could. 

"Before you could? What happened? Where is she?" Thranduil asked as he stepped out off his chambers. 

"She's with the healers, we got separated in the dark, we heard her screams she wasn't far from us" 

"Is that her blood?" Thranduil asked looking at Tauriel's shirt, as they rushed towards the healers.

"A mixture of hers and the spiders, we killed the lot of them, my lord" Tauriel said as they turned the corner, and saw the healers rushing around you trying their best to save you. 

.... 

Watching you sleep after the healers had done all they could, Thranduil sat next to you, he had sent word to you captain about the accident, the healers had said the recover was down to you but Thranduil couldn't help but think it was all his fault, turning to the window Thranduil saw the sun rising over his kingdom but the sea of emotion swelled, drowning him in the chaos of his thoughts, he made a promise to you from now on he would do everything in his power to protect you and he prayed to the Valar in hopes that you would forgive him.

In Her Eyes

Author: @supernaturallymarvellous

Characters: Steve Rogers x Peggy Carter 

Summary: When Steve is faced with an impossible choice between his present and a final chance at love, what will his decision be?

Word Count: 500

Warnings: Spoilers for Endgame (but hopefully everyone has seen that by now!)

A/N: First entry into the 52 Week Writing Challenge being hosted by @sdavid09.  Tag Lists are open if anyone would like to be tagged for the rest of these fics.

Prompt: "The answer was written in her eyes”

***************************************************************************************

The decision has not been an easy one for Steve.  In fact, it had been one of the hardest he’d ever had to make.  He was a man torn between two worlds, engulfed by the crippling choice had had to make – did he stay in the present time, surrounded by his friends and trying to make the world a better place, or did he return to the past and finally get a chance to live out the life he had always envisaged with his one true love.

He’d been kept awake night after night trying to rationalise every single aspect of each scenario.  On one hand, he felt a sense of duty to the Avengers, felt as though he still had a part to play in trying to help those most in need.  But on the other hand, a deep seated longing continued to niggle at his heart.  He missed Peggy.  The time they had spent together hadn’t been perfect and was far too short for his liking.  Even the simple glance that he’d managed to get of her when he and Tony had travelled back to 1970 had been enough to pull at his heartstrings and make him yearn for the chance to hold her in his arms once again.  After that chance encounter, her face seemed to haunt his dreams, his every waking moment.

Eventually he made his choice.  When the question was raised as to who would return each infinity stone to its rightful place in time, Steve was the first to volunteer.  He had a plan in mind and although he couldn’t claim to understand the complex science behind time travel, he knew that whilst his absence would only seem like seconds to those around him, he could spend as long as he wanted, living his new life.  Steve spoke at length with Bucky, gained his approval and understanding as to why he had to do what he had in mind.  He said his goodbyes, albeit silent ones, to his friends, even taking the time to visit the small garden they had created as a tribute to their fallen comrades, Natasha and Tony.  Then, with no more effort than a blink – and a slight feeling of nausea that lasted longer than was ideal – Steve was there, standing on the porch of a house that he hoped beyond hope would provide a warm and loving welcome.

As he held his hand up to knock on Peggy’s front door, there was a moment of doubt.  Had he done the right thing?  Had Peggy moved on with her life after he had left her so abruptly?  Would she even be happy to see him?  He barely felt his hand moving and tapping gently against the solid wood. But when it finally opened and he saw the woman standing in front of him, he knew that he had made the right decision. Any doubts, concerns or questions he had were gone….after all, the answer was written in her eyes.

Some other nights

Chapter/Promt 2 for @sdavid09 52 week’s -writing challenge.

Pairing: Dain Ironfot x Rionna

Words: 1174

All the chapter's of Some other nights

Dain Ironfoot woke early in the morning, well, earlier than he normally did. He lay alone in a bit too big bed for him, staring at the ceiling for good ten minutes, frowning, thinking.

He had woken up for a strange feeling in his chest. And the moment he opened his eyes, he knew it wasn't something he should talk with a healer. It wasn't that bad and it didn't hurt, Dain told himself. So, calling over Póri would be pointless. Dain only felt slight pull somewhere around his heart, chest and back. It had started somewhere around the morning, just before he had woken.

Without trying to get some more sleep for the rest hour or so, Dain got up and walked to the parlour. The fire in fireplace had died long ago, so the first thing Dain did was to get a new fire going. It was April, almost May, but it was still chilly in the halls of Iron Hill's. It was a bit chilly the whole year. And it wasn't the warm Dain seeked out from the fire, but the cozy feeling it brought. It remided him of so many, yet now lost things. Funnily, it almost brought confort for him. Not that Dain would tell this to his cousin or anyone else really.

As the fire started to rattle, Dain got up and went to get some of the perchament's for the meeting later on the week and sat over the armchair to read them. The nibbling pull in his chest disturbed him more than Dain wanted to admit, and Dain soon found out that it was hard to focus on his work. And finally he sighed and threw the perchament over the floor.

Maybe he should go see Póri after all? No, absolutly not! The feeling would go away soon enough, if he would just find something to put his mind to. Dain was about to get up from the armchair when his son, Thorin third Stonhelm opened the door of his bedchamber and stepped out. His red, long hair was a mess and was coming out from the braid's he had been wearing over the night.

Dain watched his son, grinning a little.

"Mornin' there, laddie" Dain says, grinning to himself. Thorin stops and stares for his father for a minute, before he grunts his 'Good morning´s' and continues to the bathroom. Dain smiles after his son, feeling the thankfullness of still having his son in his life. Then his face sobers and turns to a grim. The feling in his chest... It... Dain remembered a few perchament's he had been reading while he was around his son's age about a "Pull to your One true love". But it had been only a perchament, telling what One true love was, how one could substantially recognize it. But the text had been a bit of a 'should be something like this' amd 'you´ll know it when you´ll feel it' kind of a thing. It probably had been written by those, who never actually had found their One.

But could it be? Could this feeling be? Was this pull Dain's One?

He had no idea, and he felt it to be far to personal to even ask about it from his adviser´s. And it had been so sudden, coming from nowhere, that Dain suspected that his One was a mere babe, someone he probably should not pay any mind. So what should he do? That was a problem he had to get used to living with.

The whole day went on in a haze for Dain. The pull stayed in his chest, taking his mind off things and no matter what Dain did, he could not think anything else but the strange feeling. And the more he thought about it, the more confused and worried he became, and with the all worry he had had mixed up. The sea of emotion swelled, drowning him in the chaos of his thoughts. And he didn't know, what to do with anything.

Maybe a good session with sparring would settle his mind.

As Dain was about to get up and head for the training halls, Thorin laid a gentle hand over Dain's shoulder.

"Ada, what's wrong?" he asked, looking worriedly down at Dain, who frowned and looked back at his son. The lad had already noticed his disconfort and how his mind was somewhere else.

"It's nothing, lad. Just worrying too much about things" he answers, not trying to smile. It would've been too forsed, and Thorin would have noticed this, worrying about Dain even more than he already was.

"Well... You know you can talk to me, or anyone really, about it. And if there's anything I can do to help ye, just let me know" Thorin says, clasping Dain's shoulder. Now Dain smiles and nods. He gets up and before Thorin could run out of the meeting room, he calls after him.

"Actually, I was thinking... If ye don't have anything to do now, would ye spar with me?" Dain asks. Thorin stops and turns to his father, smiling. He nods and so the two leave to the training halls.

On the late evening Dain felt a bit better. The pull was still there, but sparring with his son had somewhat helped Dain to take his mind off it. He felt a bit more calm, and could focus on reading the final document's of the up-coming meeting.Finally after finishing the last perchament, Dain sighed and leaned his head to the back of the armchair, closing his eyes. And before he knew it, he fell asleep.

Dain opened his eyes and instead of seeing his chamber's, he found himself in a city of a kind. He stood over a terrace, looking over big garden with a small fountain in center of it. And over the fountain was young woman, sitting on the light grey stone of the fountain and staring down at the water. She had light blue dress, her light honey blond hair was on a single braid, that much Dain could tell about her. And then Dain frowned, the pull in his chest got stronger as he gazed down at the woman.

Slowly Dain turned and started to look a way down, cautionsly looking around for another living person. But he saw no-one, he and the strange woman being the only ones in the area. Dain found the entrace to the garden easily, entering there slowly. He gazed around to make sure there really wasn't anyone else there, before he approached the woman.

"'scusme, but who are ye?" Dain asked and the woman jumped lightly, turning to him. Her brown eyes landed on Dain, and she looked alarmed. Dain took a step towards her and she shot up, alerted of Dain.

"I asked, who are ye?" Dain decided to repeat his question. He didn't approach the woman, in fear that she would bolt off.

"And why should I tell my name to the one I do not know?" she answered.

Oh, dear Lord, I’ve opted to join @sdavid09‘s Tale Teller’s 52 Week Writing Challenge. Wish me luck. Hahaha! I’m still a little unsure how it’s all working, so any guidance from all of you involved would be wonderful. 

Any writers on here, I strongly recommend you go and check it out. It’s only one piece per week, which isn’t too hard to achieve, I don’t think.

You thought to yourself as you made your way through the kingdom leaving small droplets of water trailing behind you, “fucking dwarves, fucking orcs always something with them lot”  you muttered to yourself as you looked up and saw you were approaching the throne room, passing the two guards you gave them a look letting them know you were in no mood for snippy comments on your appearance as you pushed the door open, stepped in and closed it behind you doing so you could feel the kings icy eyes on you as you stepped forward and stood at the bottom of the stairs, making a small puddle around yourself. 

“What news do you bring me?” Thranduil asked looking down at you. 

“My lord the dwarves escaped down the river, they were being trailed by a pack of orcs, we dealt with the orcs and Prince Legolas and Captain Tauriel are on the trail of the remaining orcs” you answered, not looking up at your king. 

Hearing footsteps you knew the king had descended the stairs and soon enough you felt his presence behind you, as the hair on the back of your neck stood up and you glued your eyes to the floor, fighting the feeling to look up. 

“Is there a reason why you are dripping water all over the floor?” Thranduil asked in an icy tone, telling you the king was not impressed.

“Yes and no my lord” you answered, seeing the king's shoes as he stood in front of you.

“Well what is it? How come you are standing in my throne room soaking wet?” Thranduil asked again. 

“I fell in the river alright” You admitted.

“You fell into the river?” Thranduil repeated your words and you could sense the sarcasm in his voice.

Feeling your anger build you looked up at the king “I DIDN’T ASK FOR THIS! SO WHY ARE YOU TREATING ME LIKE I DID?!” You shouted and then regretted your actions, as you turned your eyes back to the floor.

Watching Thranduil’s hand you felt it under your chin as he lifted your head so your eyes could meet, you knew the other elves were jealous as he seemed to have a soft spot for you, and you could always get his favour in matters, you had always said it was down to the fact you did your job, connecting your eyes with his you saw the spark of mischief in his eyes.

“A skilled warrior like you, falling into the river, I would pay to see that” Thranduil said as his lips twisted into a smile. 

“Don’t you dare laugh” you hissed at him. 

Letting out a loud laugh Thranduil stepped back from you smirking pulling your hair from your back you collected some of the water in your hand and flicked it towards him as your own lips twisted into a smirk wetting them you cooling asked “would my king like a cuddle?” as you extended your arms out wide and saw him drop the smirk on his lips. 

“You wouldn’t dare” Thranduil said as he watched you approaching.

“Oh I would, my lord” you said as you stepped closer and closer to him and soon enough you were chasing the king around the throne room, waiting for Thranduil to turn you turned your body around and managed to catch him off guard and sent the pair of you to the ground in a giggling mess, getting to his feet Thranduil extended his hand to help you up “lets go get you dried” he said as you took his hand and he pulled you to your feet. 

“I have a better idea” you smirked making the king lift an eyebrow as you leaned in closer and whispered it into his ear making him step back and pick you up throwing you over his shoulder as you let out a giggle, you had been in a secret relationship with the king for almost a year now, and you always got your way.

Prompt 3: Love could be beautiful or monstrous. But, she hadn’t yet figured out which this would be.

Word count 488

Your Mother use to tell you as a small elfling that elves only ever love one whole person in their lives, and that person would be their soulmate from that moment onwards, and if it was true love when one should die the other could not live without them so the would fade away. 

Years had passed and you watched your friends find their soulmate and their soulmates would have the same feelings for them, but yet you still remained soulmate less. 

....

Making your way into the great gates of Mirkwood you and some of the other elves from Lothlórien we’re carrying presents, to celebrate the coming of age of the young prince Legolas, being pointed into the direction of the grand ballroom by one of the guards you nodded your head and followed the direction after the others elves handed over the presents to you.

Turning down the hallway your ears picked up the sound of the soft music playing, your curiosity getting the better of you, you followed the path as the music started to get louder the closer you got, peaking your head around the door you saw it was the grand ballroom, sliding yourself around the door you walked into the room, readjusting the presents in your arms as you listened to the music scanning the room you felt like you were being watched but you could not see another soul, turning in a circle you found the table where all the presents were placed, walking towards it you added the presents from Lothlórien and the card, turning on your heels to the clearing of a throat your eyes landed on the ice blue ones of King Thranduil. 

Your whole body felt like it had caught fire, you breath got caught in your throat as you tried to inhale some air to slow your beating heart, your stomach felt like it was in knots, wetting your lips you opened your mouth and closed it again, the feelings you were feeling were strange to you, looking back up in the kings direction you saw his eyes had softened and it looked like he was having a battle with his own emotions. 

Taken a sharky breath you wet your lips "Excuse me my lord" you muttered turning on your heels and running out of the door and towards the gate in hopes of rejoining your people, to get ready for the dinner tonight, leaving Thranduil blinking at your sudden leaving, before he shook his head and left to get ready for the dinner and he hoped to get to know you better.

Standing at the back of your group being lead to your rooms, you smiled to yourself at the thought you had finally found your soulmate until the dark thought of Thranduil's first wife came into your mind, Love could be beautiful or monstrous. But, she hadn’t yet figured out which this would be.

Word count 612

Walking back and forth you felt eyes on you, but you were in a hurry, and you needed to do many trips as your arms were not bigger enough to carry all the equipment you needed for today's session, you were heading back to the room where all you equipment was when you passed the same two elves, who shared a confused look, but soon enough you were passing them again and again, finally you were carrying the last of your equipment as you turned the corner and headed down to the room where you had set up. 

Sitting in front of your easel you placed the new canvas on it and started to pull your paint out when you heard the door slowly open and Thranduil walked in. 

"I hope I'm not late" Thranduil said as he made his way to the chair you had set up. 

"Not all my lord, please take a seat" you responded while still taking your paint and brushes out. 

You were a human girl living in Laketown, in fact, you were born and raised there, but you had a burning passion for painting and your father saved for years to buy you the brushes you needed, and soon enough you were running around the town painting, anyone and everything that caught your eye, you had painted Bard and his family for a favour, a lift over the river towards the kingdom of Mirkwood, as you wanted to paint the forest and that was when you had actually first seen Thranduil, and he first laid eyes on you. 

"How would you like me to sit?" Thranduil's voice broke the silence in the room and dragged you from your memory, looking up you studied the way he was sitting, straight back and legs flat on the floor, smiling to yourself you shock your head. 

"Get comfortable it's going to be a long session" you said as you watched him wriggle around on the chair "oh and I know how you sit on your throne" you added and saw the small smirk grace his lips, sketching it on the paper. 

....  

The sun had risen to it's the highest point in the sky, dipping your brush into the water you wiped it on the edge of the glass and dipped it into the silver paint raising it to the paper, you started to paint Thranduil's cloak, turning your eyes to him and back to the painting you were almost done, returning to the brush to the paint you jumped at the sound of the door being forced open. 

"My lord, (Y/n),  I am sorry for the interruption" the guards said as he bowed low towards the pair of you. 

"What is it?" Thranduil said with a small growl. 

"You are needed in the throne room, my lord"

Letting out a long sigh Thranduil rose to his feet and walked over to you "I am sorry about this (y/n) can we reschedule for next week?" He asked before turning to the painting. 

Watching his mouth drop open you wet your lips "of course my lord, do you like it?" you asked as you saw him still staring at it. 

Wetting his own lips he nodded "It's... it's... You're amazing" Thranduil finally said and saw the blush appearing on your face. 

"Thank you my lord" you whispered looking down at the floor, before turning your eyes back up at him and saw the soft smile on his face, before he turned and left the room heading towards the throne room.

Cleaning your brushes you looked at the painting and smiled It was just one layer on a grander masterpiece.

Word count 1,314

Walking through the castle your mind was turning on the many tasks you had to complete before the visiting lords arrived in two days everyone in Mirkwood was doing overtime, cooking food, cleaning the kingdom, collecting wines from Laketown this meeting has been months in the making and it was going to be one of the biggest meeting of elven lords in history, and Thranduil was the elf to do it, of course you knew Thranduil wasn’t happy about it, normally Lord Elrond would host such a meeting and one where he could send Legolas to, but this time it was Thranduil who had to host it, and you were on your way to give him an unexpected problem.  

Sitting in his study Thranduil was reading the speech you had helped him write for this meeting, turning the paper over and over again in his hands,  he started to get lost in his thoughts, for years he watched you grow, watched how you had to overcome the challenges of being a half human, half elf in his kingdom, you had became one of his closest friends and you were more trustworthy than his generals, Thranduil cared about your opinion, and if he was being honest with himself he was glad you got lost in his woods all those years ago and it happened to be on a night where he was only in the woods looking for Legolas after an argument broke out between them, one small question had started a shouting match, and hours searching for his son, but finding you.

….

A travelling wizard had visited the kingdom and asked permission from Thranduil to have the old fortress as his own, Thranduil did not trust this wizard, so permission wasn’t granted and he was told to leave immediately, passing Legolas Thranduil watched as the wizard bent down to his son whispered a few words and rose with a smirk, as Legolas looked up at him like he was just told ancient secrets, but in fact he had told the young prince about the other side and how some people can talk to others who were no longer there, then later that night Thranduil had passed his son room and heard him talking, slowly pushing the door open Thranduil saw Legolas sitting inside a circle of candles talking out loud, fully entering the room Thranduil opened his mouth to ask what was going on, but stopped when he heard Legolas ask “MOMMY? HOW DID YOU AND DADDY MEET?”  That was the question that had started the fight and sent Legolas jumping out of his window onto the trees and into the forest at night making Thranduil roll his eyes as he had to follow his son.

….

A knock on the door pulled him from his memory, letting out a sigh Thranduil placed his speech on the desk and rose to his feet, walking towards the door he reached out with his hand and took a hold of the handle pulling the door open.

“Yes?” Thranduil murmured as he opened the door.

“My lord, I bring you an update on the process of the kingdom” you spoke nervously as you knew Thranduil would hate what you needed to show and tell him. 

Seeing it was you Thranduil’s lips twisted into a small smile before he wet his lips and asked “Are we on time for the meeting?”

“We are my lord, but there is a problem” You said as you lowered your eyes to the ground in hopes Thranduil would not let his anger out on you.  

Raising his eyebrow Thranduil asked “Problem?”

“It would be best if you saw it with your own eyes, my lord” You spoke turning your eyes back up to his and saw as he nodded, stepping back a few paces you waited for him to exit his room before he looked at you again and you had realised you hadn’t told him where this problem was, wetting your lips you spoke “we are going to the kitchens” before you lowered your eyes again and followed Thranduil. 

….

Glancing down at you Thranduil started to wonder why you seemed to be tense, you had never really been tense in his presents before hand, and you certainly liked to get your opinions across often talking back to him on matters you believed in, qualities a future queen should have Thranduil thought to himself, ”is everything ok?” Thranduil heard himself asking. 

Lost in your own thoughts you were twisting the small necklace around in your fingers, the only thing you had of your family, your half elf side granted you immorality but you had lost your family many years ago, It was old, a token from a life that seemed to be ages ago, but it didn’t matter. They would carry it until their death, Thranduil cleared his throat as you looked to the King.

“(Y/n) is everything ok?” He asked again.

“Yes my lord, everything is fine, thank you” You answered a little too fast for Thranduil’s liking, now sensing something was seriously wrong. 

Before Thranduil had a chance to ask again you both had rounded the corner and his eyes saw what the problem was, the whole of the kitchen was black and it looked like the ovens had exploded, turning his eyes over the mess Thranduil felt his blood starting to boil with anger, the cooks had said to him they would be able to cook all the food in a matter of days, not the weeks he had planned out, and he stupidly believed them, and now it would take months to get the ovens fixed and this place cleaned up and the meeting was happening in the next two. 

“What happened?” Thranduil barked towards the two cooks who slowly started to hide themselves behind you. 

“The ovens just exploded my lord, there was nothing we could do, my lord” one of the cooks muttered, clinging onto you like a scared child, as the other cook nodded her head. 

“My lord, I was….” You had started before you jumped in shock at Thranduil’s outburst. 

“TELL ME AGAIN, WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THIS TIME LEAVE OUT THE LIES” Thranduil had shouted making the two cooks scream in fear and explaining how the ovens just exploded, and there was nothing they could do, sending them away you said you would talking to the King and calm him down.

Walking back and forth Thranduil’s face showed what mood he was in “Thranduil, they speak the truth, I was here when it happened the ovens just caught fire” you said as you watched him.

“The meeting is in two days, the lords will be touring my kingdom, and what can I show them? A KITCHEN THAT DOESN’T EVEN WORK!” Thranduil shouted at you. 

“THEN CLEAN IT!” You shouted back, holding your ground.

“I AM A KING” Thranduil barked at you staring you down. 

“Oh I am sorry, THEN CLEAN IT, YOUR MAJESTY” you shouted again before turning on your heels flicking your hair as you left Thranduil standing there, starting after you wondering what the hell just happened.

….

Emptying the last of the dirty water in the bucket Thranduil looked at the kitchen seeing it looking brand new as he just spent the whole night cleaning it, after your outburst at him, he would have gotten the cooks to do it, but he knew you would have sent them to the back up kitchen to finish the food for the meeting, and he knew you would not let this drop, leaving the bucket at the side of the sink Thranduil turned and headed to his chambers to get some sleep as the lords would be arriving tomorrow and he hopped he could clear the air with you beforehand but his exhaustion over took him as he realized, it was finally done.

Hobbit/LOTR tag list @Slither-in-a-half Prompt 5: A seed of doubt was planted. Would it grow or would it be weeded out?

Word count 644 

Pushing boxes around the house you placed them in the rooms where the words on the boxes matched, to say you were excited to have your own home was an understatement, it was even more exciting moving in with the man of your dreams.

You opened the kitchen the box and pulled out the kettle and cups walking to the kitchen you filled the kettle and plugged it in waiting on it boiling so you could make yourself some tea, opening your phone you saw a message, opening it you felt your heart sink a little, it was from Thranduil and of course he had to work late, meaning you were left to organise the whole house by yourself. 

A few hours later you heard a car driving up the driveway, turning your head to the window you watched as Thranduil got out holding a bunch of flowers and some take away, making you smile at the sight of him, turning back you focused on your book and waited for him to entre. 

The sound of the door closing and his soft footsteps approaching you made you smile again, lifting your teacup to your lips you took a slip as you heard him take in a breath. 

"You finished the whole house?" Thranduil said in shock as he placed the takeaway down on the coffee table and turned to you handing over the flowers. 

Raising to your feet you took the flowers and planted a kiss on Thranduil's cheek as you walked to the kitchen for a vase "Your study is unfinished, I thought I would leave that to you" you said as you left the room, before returning with plates and cutlery for the takeaway, enjoying your first night in your new house. 

....

A few months had passed by and you and Thranduil had settled in, he had become the best lawyer in the city, and everyone wanted him to defend them, while you could focus on the small bookshop within the small village that had now become your home, Thranduil's work kept him out late most nights, and his briefcase started to become heavy with the all the case files. 

It was a cold morning when you woke up, rolling over to snuggling into Thranduil you found his side empty, opening your eyes you blinked a few times as they roamed around the room in search for the man you loved, you could hear his voice coming from another room, raising to your feet you followed his voice as you checked the clock and see it was 5 am.

"I'm at home right now.... No, she is still sleeping" Thranduil was speaking to someone.

Scratching your head you were confused as to who he was talking to, walking to the door your hand was placed on its frame when you stopped yourself pushing it open, as you saw him on the phone. 

"No, of course, you can't come here when she is here.... because she also lives here, we will meet at my office tonight like we normally do" Thranduil's voice echoed from behind the door. 

Stepping back from the door you felt you stomach-turning, returning to the bedroom your mind was going at 100 miles per hour at what you just heard, and who could be on the other end of the phone. 

Hearing footsteps you jumped back into bed and heard Thranduil entre the room, soon you felt the bed dip as he got into it, letting out a small hum you felt Thranduil's arm over you as he pulled you towards him and let out a small happy hum and he quickly fell asleep, but you, you couldn't sleep because a seed of doubt was planted. Would it grow or would it be weeded out? Rolling away from Thranduil you closed your eyes as a single tear escaped.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 

Prompt “You’re a hot ticket, my friend.”

Word count 1,240

A week had passed since the night you and Thranduil had sobbed in each other's arms, and you were slowly getting back on track with each other, but you still didn’t like Thranduil being close to his ex. Sitting at the kitchen table you were sipping your tea while looking at booking a break for you and Thranduil away from certain distractions, and also a place where your phones wouldn't get any signal and you could focus on working on the relationship.

Moving your fingers on the laptops mouse pad you heard the sound of a silent buzzing, tearing your eyes away from the screen you searched for the source and found it at the end of the table, it was Thranduil’s phone, standing you walked over and looked at the screen seeing David’s name flashing, picking up the phone you took a breath to call out to Thranduil but stopped yourself wetting your lips your fingers tapped the green button as you slowly raised it to your ear. 

“Hey Thranduil, I’ve booked us a table at that restaurant to meet Alvena again, 8pm tonight, I’ve done some digging and she has a good case” 

Trying not to make a sound you stared at the door listening to David and hoping Thranduil didn’t enter the room. 

“Thranduil? Can you hear me?” You heard David ask on the other end of the phone. 

“Thran…. I’ll text you the details” David said as the line went dead. 

Removing the phone from your ear, you placed it back on the table and took your own phone out, as the message flashed on the screen you took a photo of it, it had the restaurant address and you would be there tonight, without Thranduil knowing, hearing footsteps on the stairs, you sat back in front of the laptop sliding your phone into your pocket and picked up your tea as Thranduil walked through the door. 

“Darling, have you seen my phone?” 

“It’s at the end of the table” You answered turning to him holding a small smile, “I’m looking at booking us a trip away do you want sunny or wintery weather?”  you added. 

“Whatever you want daring” Thranduil answered as you watched his eyes roam across the message David had sent him. 

“Something the matter?” You asked sweetly. 

“No, I just need to meet David tonight, you don’t mind do you?” Thranduil asked turning to you. 

“Of course not, it's to do with your work” you said turning your head back to the laptop, “I am going out with Sue from the bookshop later anyway, we’re heading to a library up north it is having a book sale and we’re hoping to get the best ones” you said with an excited voice, turning back to Thranduil to see a smile on his face, and you knew that smile was for you, he always smiled like that when you got excited over books. 

“Pick the best ones, and don’t bring too many home like last time” Thranduil laughed. 

“I won’t” you said sending him a wink, knowing full well that you were not going in the first place. 

….

Sending a text to Sue you asked her for a lift into town as you knew she had to pass it to get to the library, and you needed to be at the restaurant before Thranduil and David got there, taking some clothes with you, you waited outside for Sue. 

Thanking Sue for the lift you arranged with her to pick you back up, on her return from the library, waving her off you made your way to the restaurant, checking the time you saw it was only 4pm, you still had a good four hours to wait and you hoped your plan would work. 

Pulling the door to the restaurant you entered it and smiled at the waiter standing behind the desk “good evening, I am here confirming a reservation for my boss” you said and watched as the waiter nodded. 

“Name?” he asked. 

“Thranduil, or it might be under his business partner name David, David Langsdale” you said as you watched the waiter's eyes scan the paper on the desk. 

“Yes we have a table for three, at 8 pm tonight is that correct?” the waiter asked. 

“Yes that’s correct, but could you show me where they will be sitting, my boss is very palticlit” you spoke holding your held up high. 

“Of course madam” the waiter said as he extended his hand towards the dining room and started walking towards it with you following. 

The table was in the corner of the restaurant, away from the others with only a table for two behind it, chancing your luck you asked the waiter “the table behind this one is anyone sitting there tonight?” 

“No madam, there is no booking for this yet” 

“I will book it then, I am meeting a friend tonight, half seven please” you lied but the waiter didn’t seem to mind, giving him a fake name you left the restaurant, to do some shopping. 

….

Sitting at the table you picked up your wine glass as you heard footsteps approaching the table behind you “Sir’s, madam, your table” a voice of the waiter told you that Thranduil, David, and Alvena were now at the table, sipping your wine you nodded a thanks to the waiter that bought you your food as you listened to the conversation behind you. 

“Like I told you before the modeling contacts were not up to scratch and they are refusing to pay me because I miss one catwalk show I didn’t even know about” Alvena whined. 

“We have copies of your contact and we can see nowhere in there about you having to attend any catwalk shows” David responded to her. 

For a while the conversation was just between David and Alvena, you weren’t even sure Thranduil was there until you heard his velvet voice ask a question. 

“Alvena, your case will be a long and costly one, you are wanting us to take on 10 different modeling agencies, can you even afford it?” You heard the annoyance in his voice. 

“Of course I can, Thranny” Alvena said with a little laughing making Thranduil huff. 

“Your Daddy’s money won’t cover it all” Thranduil hissed at her. 

“No, but my boyfriends will” Alvena answered sarcastically. 

“Right anyway, we also contacted the photographers and….” David was in the middle of giving more updates when Thranduil cut it. 

“And when his money runs dry?” Thranduil sarcastically asked. 

Sitting back in her chair she smiled a knowing smile at Thranduil, and he knew exactly what she meant, she would try and use his money for it, turning to David Thranduil pushed his chair out and stood up “David, I will work on the paperwork with you for this case, but nothing more, our past will be dragged up and I am not putting (y/n) through that, I am going home now goodnight” Thranduil placed his share for the dinner down and turned to walk out of the restaurant.  

“You’re a hot ticket, my friend” Alvena said after him, knowing it would annoy him more.

Waiting about 20 minutes you stood up and paid for your food leaving the restaurant with a smile on your face that Thranduil did indeed care for you, but you didn’t know that Alvena was hatching her own plan in trying to win Thranduil back.

Prompt: The answer was written in her eyes.

Word count 919

Mirkwood was silent, eerily silent and cold no fires were burning and the candles were all almost burnt out, the fog from the bottom of the waterfall slowly rose up drowning anything on the ground in its path.

Standing at the gate Pyria's eyes peered into the forest as she watched for the return of the night patrol, the night was silent as her home, the sky was dark and starless, no moon shone tonight filling her heart with even more sadness, listening to the sounds of the forest Pyria could hear the trickling of the stream, the branches moving in the wind, raising her eyes to the nearest tree she watched as an Owl left its den and stretched its wings before flying down to the mouth of the river on its hunt for food. 

The soft footsteps approaching her turned her eyes back to the opening of the forest as she saw the night patrol returning, losing the grip off her bow, she placed her hand over her heart as the standard greeting, holding a small smile Pyria watched the patrol returning the greeting as the passed her and entered Mirkwood while she counted them silently making sure all had returned Pyria had her orders to seal the gate shut, no one could leave and no one could enter without the King's permission and in his state she was sure this would last for years to come. 

....

Walking down the dim-lit hallway Pyria mind raced back to a time where these halls echoed with laughter from newlywed young couples to children, the candles always burned brightly and everyone was in a good mood. 

But that all changed the young couples left, the children grew and left, Mirkwood slowly emptied some traveled to join their kin in Rivendell and Lothlórien, some even boarded a boat and sailed to the undying lands, all out of grief for the loss of their beloved Queen and the fear of the now unstable and drunk King. 

Pyria was born and raised in Mirkwood it was the only home she had ever known, and her best friend just happened to be Thranduil, Pyria had fought at the side of her parents in the Great War and lost them to it, her people also lost their king that day leaving a young and scared Thranduil to deal with his new kingdom, she slowly made her way through the ranks and now she was captain of the guard, and the kings most trusted friend. 

Pyria and Thranduil had shared nearly everything together and when he found his wife she couldn’t have been happier, and when Legolas came Thranduil declared Pyria as his aunt, which we filled her with joy “Aunt Pyria” a soft-voiced pulled her from her memories as she turned and saw Legolas returning from the training ground. 

“Yes my little leaf” Pyria answered with a small smile. 

“I'm taller then you” Legolas laughed before speaking again "Why has my father ordered the gates to be shut?" 

"Because he is king and he can do what he likes" Pyria answered. 

"Aunt Pyria, please just tell the truth I am not a child anymore, I hear his screams in the dead of night" Legolas pleaded. 

Looking to the ground Pyria thought to herself before turning her eyes back to him "Legolas it is the anniversary of your Mothers death, your Father fears the nights where he dreams of her" she whispered. 

Lowing his head Legolas nodded "of course" he said before placing his hand over his heart and walking down the hallway, making Pyria wish she didn't tell him, after seeing the pain in his eyes, turning to call out to him she was about to say something when another set of footsteps alerted her attention behind her. Footsteps echoed through the dark empty halls as the healer carried the tray, "Captain Pyria its time" the healer said as she walked towards her, nodding her head they both turned and walked towards the king's chambers.

Knocking on the door Pyria called out to Thranduil, as she opened it and walked in with the healer behind her, the room was dark and cold, looking to the fireplace Pyria could see it had not been lit tonight turning to the healer "my king?" Pyria called out.

"Captain Pyria, healer" Thranduil's horsed voice answered. Pyria saw the figure of the King sitting on the edge of his bed as she made her way over to him, she lowered herself to her knees and saw his eyes were puffed and red, wetting her lips she pointed towards the healer "my lord, we have something to help you sleep."

Watching Thranduil look towards the healer with the glass of sleeping potion on the tray, he turned back to Pyria and wet his lips "will it make me dream?" Thranduil asked.

Shaking her head Pyria rose to her feet and collected the glass "no it won't" she said as she handed it to Thranduil and watched as he drank from it and handed it back to her before climbing into his bed. 

"Can you stay for a while?" Thranduil asked looking at her, the answer was written in her eyes with a nod Pyria pulled a chair closer to the bed as she dismissed the healer, hearing the door closed she turned her attention back to the king who was muttering "it was meant to be forever" Pyria knew she would watch over until morning came or sleep took him.

Prompt 51 - “SUNDAYS ARE FOR SLEEP!”

Word count 564

 It had been a long day, meeting and after meeting, and unopened files pilling up on the desk, all Thranduil wanted to do was go home and get out of the suit had been wearing all day, and the pinchy shoes, picking up his briefcase he made his way to the stairs to avoid any and all awkward lift conversations and pushed the door open descending the stairs to the lower garage, digging for his car keys in his jacket pocket. 

Hearing engines in the distant Thranduil knew his car would be the last in the lot, it took the lift 5 minutes to get there but 10 by descending the stairs, pushing the door open Thranduil looked around the lot and he saw just his car, walking slowly to it he lifted his keys and unlocked the car door with a push of a button, pulling the door open he slid himself into the car and placed the briefcase on the passenger seat, placing the keys into the ignition Thranduil started the car and headed home.

….

Humming to yourself, you walked around the kitchen pulling the cutlery from the draw and placing it on the table as you turned to pull the glasses down from the shelves and placed them on the table too, before returning to the oven and pulling out the cooked chicken, placing it on top of the oven you heard the door go and you softly smile as you turned and looked up the hallway seeing Thranduil hanging up his coat and placing his keys on the side table, before he headed down the hallway towards you with a soft smile on his face once your eyes connected.

Plating up that night's dinner you looked over at Thranduil sitting at the table reading the paper work in his hand, as you placed his plate in front of him “How was work?” You asked as turned and reached for the wine before filling up Thranduil’s glass. 

“Annoying like normal, Pat makes the same jokes over and over, Bill runs late everyday and the meetings are getting longer and longer” Thranduil said as he picked up his glass and downed it one, placing it back on the table for you to refill it as you placed your own plate on the table. 

….

A loud annoying beeping tone was rolling around Thranduil’s mind as the noise got louder and louder, opening his eyes saw your sleeping face, as he turned his head and saw it was the alarm clock beeping showing the time to be 4:45am, reaching out with his hand he silence the alarm and slowly lifted himself up into a sitting position yawning as he did so. 

Picking up his phone Thranduil unlocked it and let out a small sign at seeing how many emails he had gotten throughout the night, letting his eyes roam over the screen he saw the day of the week and let out a huff as he opened one of the urgent emails, reading it he sent a reply back “SUNDAYS ARE FOR SLEEP!”  before he locked his phone again and placed it down on the bedside table. 

Laying himself back down he wrapped one of his arms around your waist and pulled you closer getting a contented hum from your sleeping body as he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Prompt 9: "The screams echoed around the room creating a cacophony of emotion."

Word count 627

Staring at the screen you watched the blue dot flash up and down your puls started to race as the realisation started to sink in and soon enough you started to get angry you felt that they were laughing at you every night, he was round there trying to control your breathing you thought about the morning you had spent with Thranduil was he wishing he was back with her? Was he wishing you was her? The questions started to circle your mind and soon enough you stood and picked up the laptop throwing it across the room grabbing anything you could you started to throw things against the wall as your anger was building and build. 

Taking a breath you felt all your emotions at once and the only thing you could was scream and scream you did The screams echoed around the room creating a cacophony of emotion, falling to your knees you felt the tears falling from your eyes and soon enough you were sobbing all the anger away. 

Bring your hands to your eyes you wiped away the last tears, and slowly you opened you eyes and looked around the room, you had did a lot of damage in your rage, lots of things were broken books were laying on the floor, and there was a lot of broken glass, turning your head from side to side, your eyes landed on a broken picture frame, extended your shacking hand you picked it and studied the photo inside, it was of you and Thranduil holding the keys to this your dream home, in the picture you both were so happy and so in love you thought, was he still with her at this moment you asked yourself as you rose to your feet, dropping the frame you turned from the room with only one thing on your mind to pack your bags and leave. 

....

Accepting the coffee from Alvena Thranduil nodded as a thank you as she handed another coffee over to his partner David Langsdale "Thank you Ms Cropper, your case is inserting one, but why pick us?" David asked as Thranduil took a sip of his coffee. 

"Yes Alvena, why pick us? You could have picked any law firm from here to DC" Thranduil asked as he placed the cup on the table feeling a bit annoyed.

Sitting herself down Alvena looked between the two of them before wetting her lips and took a breath "I hope our past won't be a problem in this case Thranduil?" She asked. 

"It won't be, that ended a year ago and I've moved on" Thranduil answered, wondering where she was going with this.

"You are the best lawyers from here to DC, and I need the best for my case, and that is why I wanted to come over to your house the other night" she continued.

"We're here now" Thranduil answered flatly.

"Tell us more about your case" David spoke up feeling the tension between his partner and new client. 

Listening to Alvena talk about her case for an hour Thranduil and David had enough information to start building it as a case, standing they both left her home and headed for their cars, "this is probably going to end in countless court battles" David muttered. 

"With her, it will do" Thranduil said back with a huff. 

Letting out a sigh David nodded as he opened his car door "I'll see you at the office in the morning, goodnight"

"Goodnight David" Thranduil said as he got in his own car and started it, he was ready to head home and see you, being round Alvena again reminded Thranduil how much he loved you and how you made him happier than anything in the world.

  Prompt 6: Their Fingers Lace Together, A Perfect Fit.

Word count 824

Taking a breath you held up the bottom of your dress with one hand while you carried a small gift for the prince from the Lady of Lothlórien in the other one, slowly you walked into the large ballroom after one of the elves standing on the door called your name and the names of the other guests from Lothlórien, walking down the long path your eyes were fixed on the ground so you wouldn't fall flat on your face. 

"Lift your head up" 

Hearing the whisper you turned your head to the side and looked at Vianola, she was looking forward holding her head up high, with a bright smile on her face, "I feel like I'm going to fall, the dress is too long" you whispered back. 

"You shouldn't even be here, it's the lady wish we bought you" Vianola hissed.

Taking a breath you lifted your head and pushed back the tears that were threating to fall after the insult from Vianola, you and her never got on and you knew she wasn't happy that you were here. 

Blinking a few times to clear your eyes, you looked up towards the throne as the party in front of you had moved along, seeing the king sitting there your breath caught in your throat and your stomach started to tie itself in a knot again, watching the king hold a small smile to the leader of your party he turned to you as you walked up the stairs and his smile grew a little, bowing to him then to Legolas, you handed over the present before you walked away and towards your seats for the night. 

....

The whole evening you spent you time talking to the other guests on your table and keeping out of Vianola way, and soon enough you were sharing small glancing between you and the king, every time you found his eyes on you it was like your whole body was on fire, and it made you feel special, you would share a few seconds before turning and smiling at the person who was currently talking, making it look like you were interested in the conversation. 

Taking a sip of your wine, you watched as a guard approached the king whispering something in his ears, making him a nod and standing up. 

"May I have your attention" Thranduil's voice echoed through the ballroom sending a small shiver up your spin, as the room fell in silence, "please make your way out to the gardens, I have a surprise for my son" Thranduil finished and watched as all the guest rose to their feet and started to exit the ballroom, talking among themselves.

Following the crowd you couldn't help but look back and you saw Thranduil following talking to the same guard and Legolas, feeling your cheeks heat up you turned to face forward again and followed the path until you felt the cool night air circling your feet, as you walked out of the door and stepped into the gardens letting your mouth fall open at the sight of Gandalf and his fireworks. 

"Prince Legolas" Gandalf said once Legolas had exit just behind you, watching him run towards the wizard you turned and saw Thranduil smiling at his son, as he made his way over and stood next to you, granted it was the only space left but you felt a little shy next to the king. 

Watching Gandalf and Legolas talking the crowd cheered when he got the prince to uncover the cart full of his fireworks, of course, Gandalf was a great wizard, but his fireworks were the best in the whole of middle earth, something you remember your mother telling you as a small elfling and you had hoped you would get the chance to see them. 

"How are you enjoying the ball, my little runaway?" Thranduil asked in your ear making you jump at his closeness. 

"It's amazing, thank you for the invitation" you said but then panicked "My lord I...I...I did not mean to run away from you earlier if I have caused offense I am sorry" you added as quickly as you could while twisting your hands together to try and calm yourself.

Watching Thranduil shake his head and let out a little laugh "You didn't" he said as he looked towards Gandalf as he had just set a firework off, making everyone woo at the colours in the sky, turning your eyes up towards it, you mouth twisted into a smile as Thranduil turned his eyes to you and watched the colours reflect in your bright eyes, soon enough your hands dropped to your sides as you were admiring all the colours, Thranduil let his hands drop as well as he turned his eyes to the sky as well.

Legolas turned to see his father and you standing at the back their fingers lace together, a perfect fit, he thought.
