Ooohhhh Request here! Can we get a Glorfindel, Thranduil and Legolas with a no-nonsense human ruler who'll be their future s/o?

(Say, their kingdom is from far away or across the sea even, and their people are very militaristic, they journey to middle earth to seek alliances against dark forces) a bunch of badasses basically. Thanks!

Oooo yes! This is so fun! Okay, here goes:

Glorfindel:

The two of you actually didn’t meet in Imladris. You met out in the wilds when Glorfindel was out on a scouting mission with a company of Imladris’ finest soldiers. Your two groups converged on the same group of Orcs from opposite ends, accidentally catching them in a pincher attack which absolutely destroyed them with no causalities for either party. Glorfindel was impressed with you and your people’s skill and wasn’t shy about saying so. He invited you to return with him to Imladris to rest and was absolutely delighted when you told him that was where you were already headed.
The two of you rode side-by-side at the front of the company on your way back and he asked you about your home, your culture, and why you had traveled so far. The second you told him that you had crossed the sea, he was hooked and wanted to know everything about you.
When you reached Imladris, he put in a good word for you to Elrond, telling him the story of the battle. It took a lot of restraint for him to keep his mouth shut and let you explain your purpose in Imladris, rather than excitedly telling Elrond himself.
Normally someone like Glorfindel would annoy you, but you can’t help but find him charming. It helps that he’s literally the most skilled warrior you’ve ever seen.
The two of you fell fast and hard for each other within your first visit to Imladris. Though neither of you said anything for a long time and it was Arwen, actually, who pushed Glorfindel to admit his feelings.
He was actually really shy about it, asking you to go for a ride with him after a long council session with Elrond. When you asked where he was planning on going, he just cracked a wide grin and said “No, mellon nin! If I told you, it would ruin the surprise!”
You totally knew he was up to something but you couldn’t, for the life of you, figure out what.
He took you through the woods and up a winding trail. The two of you burst into a clearing that overlooked the Bruinen cascade and the sight of it took your breath away. The falls were so close you could reach out and touch them. He couldn’t help but stand there and smile as he watched the look on your face as you slid out of your saddle and went to the edge of the overlook.
He absolutely packed snacks and a very small, very dumb, very practical part of you loved that.
The two of you sat in silence for a long time and watched the sunset and the stars come out. He talked in circles and you could sense that he was nervous. The two of you ended up horizontal in the grass with your heads nearly touching, pointing out constellations. He told you their Elvish names and you told him what your people called them. You slowly gravitated closer and closer together until, at one point, you turned to look at him and realized just how close you were.
His wide grin faded into something much softer and his ears flushed pink. “What?” you asked. He blushed an even deeper shade of red and laughed. “I am one of mightiest warriors in all of Middle Earth, and still you somehow manage to make me as nervous as an ellon barely past their majority.”
You’re so surprised. For some reason you just didn’t think you were his type. He explains that he really admires you, especially how practical you are and how you always seem to keep a level head.
He asks before kissing you. And it’s a really gentle, soft kiss, which you deepen into something much more passionate.
Once you’re in a relationship he is so attentive. He constantly brings you little snacks and gifts and tries to make you laugh when you’re being way too serious for your own good.
Glorfindel loves hearing about your home and your culture and could listen to you talk for hours and absolutely does.
The two of you are often traveling your separate ways. You’re pretty busy with the demands of ruling your kingdom and Glorfindel is responsible for Imladris’ safety, but neither of you mind. It just makes you cherish the time you have together all the more.

Thranduil:

When you first came to Mirkwood to treat with him, he found you intriguing. He doesn't accept many foreign emissaries, but your interests aligned and he granted you an audience and he was not disappointed. Thranduil is used to easily intimidating those around him. He has incredible presence and he knows it, and at first your refusal to be cowed annoyed him, but you held firm and that earned you his respect.
At first he was pretty disinterested in your culture. While he has an appreciation for the kind of deadly efficiency you and your people are known for, he assumed that came at the cost of interesting conversation. It came as a pleasant surprise when you were able to keep up with him both at the dinner table and in his council chamber. Plus, he's a pragmatist and he enjoys how you don't waste his time with idle pleasantries.
Oh, and you can't drink him under the table but you damn well try and he likes that about you.
This is a slow burn sort of situation. Over the next few years, while forging alliances, you return again and again to Mirkwood and each time Thranduil is just a bit friendlier than the time before.
First kiss happened after a rather heated argument which neither of you can really even remember very well. Eventually you challenged him to settle it the old-fashioned way in the training yard-- which he found hilarious-- until, of course, you actually were able to knock him off balance. Next thing you knew he slammed you up against a wall with an exclaimed: ‘you’re insufferable!’ quickly followed by ‘and you enchant me’ . His nose brushed yours. Your gaze fell to his mouth. The rest is history.
Can you say power couple?????

Legolas:

Total enemies to lovers situation. When the two of you met when you came to Mirkwood on a diplomatic mission, there were sparks-- and not necessarily in a good way. Legolas was skeptical of your people’s intentions and viewed you as a possible threat. Plus, the two of you are both sassy as hell and at first that rubbed him the wrong way. The two of you constantly pushed each other’s buttons and that resulted in wounded egos and more than a few intense arguments.
Especially when it came to the dark forces gathering throughout Middle Earth. The two of you had a hard time finding common ground about strategies for dealing with them.
Drinking games! You beat him once and you’ve never let him live it down.
Eventually that bickering and teasing turned more and more good-natured as the two of you got used to each other and realized your senses of humor aligned.
He began to fall for you when he saw how precise and skilled you were during sparring matches in the training yard, and started to find increasingly ridiculous reasons to be there at the same time as you so he could watch you train.
You, likewise, kept finding increasingly ridiculous reasons to watch him train. His skill with a bow absolutely floored you the first time he demonstrated it (but of course you maintained a perfectly neutral expression the whole time and said, begrudgingly: “not bad”-- and he gave you the most offended look because he knows he’s hot stuff with a bow).
The first kiss happened just after a battle. While you were visiting Mirkwood, an Orcish host attacked one of the outposts near the caverns. Legolas gathered up some reinforcements to aid the garrison and you insisted on coming along, and he wasn’t about to refuse help. You took your crew to join his and the two of you fought side-by-side and made short work of the attacking force-- and that was really when both of you realized just how much you admired and cared for the other person. When Legolas’ marchwarden sounded the victory, you grabbed him and kissed him soundly. He was shocked for a second, and then immediately melted into it.
so much sass. so much bickering. now that the two of you are in a relationship you still argue like an old married couple. the servants and soldiers under your command know to stay out of it. Every time one of you tries to get somebody else to back you up, they’re just like ‘no thanks i choose life!’
Thranduil was skeptical of your relationship at first but he came around when he saw how happy you make his son.

tolkien elves and hair braiding

(legolas, haldir, elrond, thranduil, lindir)

(not my gifs)

a.n: this is literally so self indulgent i don't even care. also i wanted to include thranduil and lindir so bonus round (kind of considering doing a silm edition finally because i haven't written anything for it yet)

legolas

GIF by captainmalina

legolas was very much one for having braids in his hair, though always done tastefully; he had grown up braiding his own hair, and was rather skilled in doing so. he had no problem doing it himself, but when you offered your talents up, he was quick to oblige. legolas loved nothing more than the gentle feeling of you drawing the sides of his hair into intricate plaits, and even more so when your hands would accidentally brush against his ear. after years of being with him, you had come to realise that the tips were one of the most sensitive parts on his body, and every time you would come into contact there, a great shiver would run down his spine. from then on, you would always take time out of your mornings to put in his hair for the day, and always at least an hour at night to remove it. though sleep was not much of a concern for legolas, laying in bed with you on an evening was just another opportunity for you to run your hands through his platinum locks.

haldir

GIF by bilbosbcggins

being a marchwarden often meant that haldir was away from you for prolonged periods of time, and consequently - when he finally returned to you - was rather touch starved. after the obvious greetings when arriving back at lothlorien, you both would retire to your chambers in order for you to run your hands through his hair. you would give him a gentle head massage, eliciting an endless string of soft groans of relief. amidst this, you would begin to braid his hair, and given the amount available, a good few hours would you spend doing this. haldir would often tell you stories of what he saw at the borders of mirkwood, of how he and his brothers would tease each other, of all the strange folk he came in contact with. though you knew your days weren't spent doing such exciting things as his, he would always love to hear your tales anyway, no matter how menial they may seem to you (especially since it lengthened the amount of time you had your hands in his hair).

elrond

GIF by lightly-lumiere

elrond was surprised to learn of your skill in braiding, even though you perhaps hadn't as much practise as he had. whatever intricate creation you would conjure up never failed to impress him, and he would wear it proudly to council meetings, seeing it as an extension of yourself he was able to have at all times. not to mention how much he enjoyed the feeling of your hands against his scalp. days were long and often he would have to attend more than one meeting - even on quieter days - so to have no responsibility with you, and to just be completely relaxed was truly a blessing. as almost a means of payment, elrond would tell you old tales that he had picked up across the years. you would carefully take out the braids before you laid down to rest, even then running your hand through his soft hair until you finally drifted off to sleep.

thranduil

GIF by moonxswitchsworld

thranduil would never have admitted it, but the first time you absentmindely brushed your hand through his hair had given him a great sense of pleasure, so much so that it lingered long in his mind. his hair was always down and bare of braiding, but soon he began to entertain the possibility of you doing so. though of course never to wear in public, the thought of you gently pulling at his hair, drawing it into a great number of braids seemed like a delightful idea. eventually, he broke and asked you rather sheepishly to play with his hair, a little worried that it may affect your opinion of him; of course you obliged, any excuse to run your hands through his silken elvish locks. it became a nightly routine, and despite how many braids you put in, luckily his hair would return to its ever perfectly straight disposition by morning.

lindir

GIF by helmaninquiel

lindir would absolutely love you playing with his hair, though only when he knew you had complete privacy. whenever he would feel anxious or stressed, coming back to you on a night always managed to calm him down. you would spend hours like this, sitting behind him, running your hands through his dark hair. sometimes he would relate to you all of his worries, knowing he could be wholly open with you; others he would merely sit in silence at the end of he bed whilst you knelt behind him, simply delighting in the soft sensation of your braiding. whether it be intricate or just a multitude of simple plaits, you would take your time, gently tugging at the strands to form them.

If you could do it I really want headcanons of Thranduil and Legolas with a elf s/o with curly hair

red-riding answered:

Of course! Thanks for the requests!

Ⓖⓡⓔⓔⓝ Ⓛⓔⓐⓕ Ⓑⓞⓨ

Amazed would be the main way to describe Legolas’s feelings about your wonderful curly hair.
It was one of the things he first noticed about you.
This elf loves playing with the curls in your hair while you guys cuddle and spend time together. He finds it calming.
Braiding each others hair is a massive part of elven courting and romance and Legolas was exited to have you teach him how to twist your curly locks into beautiful braids.
Sometimes he will lightly tease you about the struggle you go through due to your curly hair, but all in good fun.
One time he bursted out laughing when he found you fighting to retrieve a brush from your curly hair that got caught. (based of a true event that has happened with my hair)
“is this a new elven style trend I am seeing? How come no one told me?” - Legolas
He soon stopped laughing and teasing and was there to gently detangle the brush from your hair.

Thranduil finds your curly locks absolutely enchanting. They are unlike any elves hair he has ever seen in his many years of living and he loves that!
Much like his son, Thranduil also enjoys fiddling with your curly hair as you guys cuddle. Maybe even on his throne when no one is around.
Unlike his son Thranduil hates asking for help, and this includes with braiding. after all what kinda king would he be if he could not simply braid some hair?
Even when you offered to teach him, Thranduil was adamant he did not need help to braid your hair.
However he was wrong. His hands got caught in your curly hair and he turned everything into a tangled confusing mess.
After this he finally let go of his pride and accepted your help which you gladly gave.
if you are ever feeling insecure about your curly hair Thranduil will make sure to change your mindset.
Thranduil love giving you hair jewelry such as diamond chains, tiaras, etc to decorate your lovely curly hair and make you feel like the queen you are.

Also If you are confused by the random names Green leaf boy, and vigorous Spring that is what their names translate to in Sindarin.

~Being Thranduil’s queen~

@moony-artnstuff : I would love to see some headcannons on what it would be like to be Thranduil’s wife and Legolas’ mother! Something with domestic fluff and lots of love would be amazing. I just really love the idea of a happy Mirkwood family, and what it would be like to be Thranduil’s wife and little Legolas’ mother (let’s imagine him around 4 to 7 human years for these headcanons)😊
