• Return to Me by Strange Blaze

  A story centered on Legolas' wife, Sorayaiel, and her thoughts and actions before, during, and after Legolas becomes involved with the Fellowship. Also a lot about the Mirkwood royal family and what happens to them during the War of the Ring. Expect a lot of angst, some violence, and a good amount of romance. Also expect lots of dwarves and a big focus on female friendships. I try to adhere to canon as much as possible, though I do have some small variances.

• In the Garden by Strange Blaze

  Complete for now. A small snippet from a prequel to my story Return to Me. In this story we witness Legolas' and Sorayaiel's first kiss, a discussion, much angst, and brotherly advice from Arahil. Once this entire story is up this part will be taken down but I thought people who like the other story might like this little part.
