Thranduil's Shadow

In this story I attempt to explain how the Elvenking became so cold and angry, and why he seems to completely lack social skills. 

I plan to follow Thranduil from his youth until his son Legolas is born, and since he was born in the First Age there will be many thousands of years to cover... Some time jumps will happen. :)

“You make it sound so easy.” He sighed.

“It is easy. We undress. We pray to Eru. We do it.”

Thranduil's Shadow

Young and naive, Thranduil meets his future wife, Legolas’ mother. Follow his complicated relationship through the ages, shadowed by an abusive father and a troubled world, and experience the long lost Beleriand through his eyes.

We know him as the Elvenking, cold and guarded - this is the story of how he became that elf.

The story is set Pre-Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (1st Age to 3rd Age).

Pairings: Thranduil x Aerneth
