Paradise by the

by telemachus

Legolas told us that in this modern AU, Thranduil "owns a sizeable amount of Scotland.....on the mainland......acres of wet and lovely trees...", yet he is very definitely a London-based businessman(elf). What happens in Scotland, stays in Scotland.

More than Enough

by telemachus

He walks in, and every eye in the room is drawn to him. He charms anyone, easily, with words, gestures, touches. But he talks to only one. And that might have to be enough.

The Day Before You Came

by telemachus

Snapshot moment of life before everything changed, sort of prequel to the zoo-verse. Or, a short exploration of unreliable narrating, which seems to be a feature of this AU.

moments that the words

by consumptive_sphinx

Caradhil is done trying to tiptoe around Aglarcu's name — so it's a good thing that Legolas doesn't try. (Most of the time, Caradhil cares for Legolas. It's Legolas's turn.)

House-sitting tells you a lot about someone. But not everything. A little piece in the Zoo-verse, just an extra really.

Though Every Thread Is

by telemachus

Quite possibly the final chapter in the Zoo-verse (though i think i said that before). Caradhil is home from the hospital, but there are more challenges ahead. And some unreliable narrative.

Walk on the Wild Side

by telemachus

Thranduil owns a "sizeable amount of Scotland". But he doesn't go there much, someone else runs it. Someone else who has his own ideas - and now, now Thranduil thinks it is time for Legolas to take some of the responsibility, some of the decisions.

Hearts Hope

by consumptive_sphinx

It starts when Legolas is seven. Nobody sees the assassin coming - not the scouts, not the guards, not Thranduil himself. There is nothing for anyone to do. But Legolas takes his affection for his father, the desperate protective love, and shoves it at the man with the bow - and the man drops his weapon. “I’m so sorry, Father,” he whispers, and drops dead, crushed under the weight of emotion not his own. Legolas just stares, wide-eyed, with everybody else. He had no more idea that he could do that than Thranduil had, than Thranduil or anyone else still does.

Elves in Kilts

by telemachus

Late-night conversations in Ithilien as the wine goes round can be - illuminating. Only all too often - elves don't understand mortals. Not that mortals understand elves, much of the time. At least, Gimli doesn't. (Rated for undercurrents to conversation.)
