~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- being a elf and dating Leggo boy definitely has its perks
- for one : his dad might approve of you
- and secondly you never have to have the mortal and immortal talk, so yay!
- growing up as the daughter of lord elrond meant you knew who Legolas was since you were born(if you dont look like Elrond's family just pretend ur adopted woop :] ).
- you and every eleth in middle earth fawned over him
- when you were younger you day dreamed of being a princess locked in a tower, one day he'll come and rescue you and take you away from the seemingly measly life you lived
- he paid visits to Rivendell quite often , enjoying the company of you and your siblings
- you had grown up with him around, always willing to teach you the art of archery or how to fend off any scary looking spiders.
- but after the battle of the five armies he stopped fisiting Rivendell, something about finding the Dunedain rangers.
- you grew up, and you missed him yes- but you convinced yourself that he was just a family friend- no one special.
- boy you were wrong because then you meet him again when the council of Elrond happens and its like a freight train of emotions hit you in the heart
- elves only fall in love once- its a very serious and dramatic ordeal, and you knew this was it.
- you also knew that you could possibly die of heartbreak if he didnt return your feelings.
- you assumed he saw you as a little sister, or had completely forgotten about you.
- but then both of you had a talk in Rivendell, the night before you planed to head off.
- he explained that he had fallen in love with you, he had always loved you but when he saw you again he knew it was romantic.
- but he knew that the chances of either of you dying on this journey were very real and very possible
- and although it would be very hard for the both of you, you decided to stay friends until the fight was over. it would save you a lot of pain and suffer if one of you did die though
- but even just being really really friendly was not helping either, you still had a very strong connection.
- he'll always make sure you keep up your health when on the road
- "the key to staying healthy is to drink lots of water dear one"
- "surely thats not enough food for you mellon"
- always covering for you when its your turn to keep watch so you can get better sleep
- and that all seems like very normal friend stuff but then...
- the hair braiding
- he will insist to braid your hair so you dont have to waist time doing it
- he'll learn how you do your style and might even try some new designs he think would look pretty on you
- you dont even know what to say, because elvish hair braiding is a sacred thing, usually you only braid the hair of your significant other or family members.
- but legolas can be a bit dense at times, maybe he doesnt realize hes making this harder than it needs to be
- you two always end up together , walking, rowing, wherever you are you two usually stray from the fellowship to have some alone time
- you often find it hard to relate to the rest of the fellowship, being so diferent from them
- but Legolas was the same as you, sometimes you feel like your the same person. so connected to eachother , finding such a peacful familiarity when your with him
- gandalf thinks your friendship is absolute bs and he sees right through the both of you, hes practically your matchmaker always trying to get you together.
- when you reach Lothlorian your grandmother, Galadriel knocks some sense into you
- she tells you that your future will be bright and full of happiness if you can just get over your stupid friend-zone rule, but she does agree that the futre is uncertain and that you would probably die if he gets killed and vice versa.
- the battles are rough but you never falter, you and leggy enjoy showing off your elven strength and beauty to the humans
- you get hit on about a million times in Rohan and you can see its driving the elven prince bonkers.
- if Legolas is ever injured which rarely ever happens, you are there to tend to the wounds
- if he is restless you'll read or sing some elvish hymns for him to fall asleep to.
- there's is nothing that can dampen your spirits when the two of you are together, even without the romantic side your happy just to be near him as often as you are.
- you spend you wandering days discussing elven philosophers, teaching gimli elvish or connecting to the forests together.
- when the final battle comes, you are plauged with fear
- you pray and pray and pray that both of you stay safe.
- legolas is the best warrior in middle earth , but you were not.
- not to say you werent a skilled warrior, you were better than any man, hobbit or dwarf- but you were not Legolas.
- what if something were to happen and he was left alone?
- well you didnt have much time to dwell on that fact because you had won the battle and both of you must imidiatley return home to your fathers.
- it wasnt fair, you were finally able to be together but noooooooooooo you just had to be separated until Aragorns corination
- when you got home your father knew about you and Legolas, he said he had already had a vision of of your future together and he gave you his blessing
- Arwen and your brothers were very very happy for you. arwen told you about her own romantic struggles and you bonded over the fact that you had been separated by your loves.
- arwen said that the four of you should get married together, while unorthodox it sounds very exiting
- you spend the few months at home planing to see Legolas again, weaving a new dress to impress him, finding a new hair braiding technique, picking apart yourself and making sure your perfect for your reunion.
- you and Arwen are so nervous at Aragorns corination you can barley stand.
- seeing Aragorn and your sister ruinite made you almost as happy as reuniting with Legolas
- you cried, you hugged, you kissed
- you met his dad and that was a traumatic experience in itself
- but he seemed to like you, he respected your father and therefore he must respect you.
Even though he thinks Elrond is senile. - getting married in Lothlorien, surrounded by the beautiful lights and trees, married by your grandmother and officially named the princess of Eryn Lasgalen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- you leave your family with sadness but your beyond exited to see the greenwood
- Legolas' kingdom welcomes you as one of their own and they are thrilled about having a princess
- you spend a lot of time with Legolas but you also make sure to get to know your new home and its peoples
- Legolas took you on a grand tour of the palace and the woods
- you were amazed by the grand architecture, thinking you could spend eternity in Eryn Lasgalen, and you would.
- you read up on the history of the Greenwood, learning about their customs and traditions.
- you also make sure to visit the smaller less grand part of the kingdoms, visiting schools and hospitals.
- to say Legolas is proud of you is an understatement
- Legolas has to go to a lot of meetings and is busy a lot of the time, he feels so bad and the apologies never stop
- but no matter how long he is gone he always makes it up to you
- hell take you horseback riding and pack a picnic lunch to make it up to you
- his father is honestly surprised at how in love the two of you are, you have been married for decades and still act as though you are in your honeymoon phase
- when the two of you have your first child, a boy named Oropher[named after legolas' grandfather], Thranduil cant help but get reminded of him and his wife[and baby leggo too ofc]
- Thanduil enjoys your conversations, thinking of you as a daughter he never had, and a good friend
- he also lets you in on all the embarrassing baby Legolas stories he never got to tell anyone.
- you end up having 5 children in all your years, three girls and two boys
- some take after you more, others Legolas
- you make excellent parents, teaching them the arts, sciences and ways of battle.
- Legolas spends time with his children as often as he possibly can and is an amazing father
- you love your life in the greenwood, its your home
- but eventually the time of the elves is over and you and your family sail for Valinor, to be together forever<3
