A Dwarf and an Elf King Walk into a Bar by livinginthetheater

Summary
An army of orcs with their vicious wargs descend upon the Firien Wood in Gondor. An unfortunate battle leaves Gimli captured, lost in unfamiliar trees--yet not alone.
Reluctantly teamed up with King Thranduil, the currently injured and practically helpless dwarf-hater, Gimli must make the difficult decision to help him. After all, the enemy of my enemy is the father of the elf I'm helplessly in love with--right?

Summary
Inspired by this heart-stopping piece of fanart that reimagines the end of The Battle of the Five Armies with Legolas finding a badly wounded Thranduil on the slopes of Raven Hill. As Thranduil lies on the border of death, Legolas must come to terms with the strained nature of their relationship and his own guilt.

Summary
When Helm's Deep falls to the forces of Isengard before Gandalf can return, Legolas thinks he knows what to expect of the orcs' victorious tortures; he is an Elf of Mirkwood, after all. But neither he, nor Saruman's forces, were prepared for his reaction when they turn their whips on Gimli in his stead.

Summary
Stories featuring Legolas and Gimli, set within the bounds and confines of canon. They have been assembled here in chronological order although they do not necessarily all exist within the same continuity or abide by the same internal canon or sequence of events; but they are all stories that could, and might, take place within the canonical Legendarium. Because I think we can all agree that it is indeed time to say more on this matter.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Summary
The story of how Legolas leaves, comes back, does a little bit of more or less accidental fading, and finds forgiveness.
Thranduil is a good dad and Tolkien is probably screaming in his grave.Bookmarked by Klyaksa

Summary
It is the first year of the Fourth Age of Gondor and the new reign of King Aragorn is going well. Boromir is in fact alive, rebuilding is underway, two children are soon to be born, and then the topic of Lady Galadriel visiting her granddaughter comes up.
It causes more issues than it should - for the fact that Boromir really, really does not want to see her again.Bookmarked by Klyaksa

Summary
Poe's eyes are clear, wild, furious. The look is like nothing FN-2187 has ever seen. His gaze bores into FN-2187, as if Poe could see everything, straight into the vault he keeps at the deepest part of himself. The pure fire of will that courses through Poe's gaze hits FN-2187 like a gutpunch.

Summary
That night on the parapet, Valjean forces Javert to live. Some time later, Javert finds himself returning the favor.
"Do you think," Javert said slowly, in a tone that perhaps meant to mock but trembled with another emotion entirely, "that once you have saved a life, you must also save that man's soul?"
"I know nothing of saving souls," Valjean said. "My soul was bought for God, not saved. But it is my belief that you are better than the fate to which you have consigned yourself."

Summary
Instead of committing suicide, Javert goes on a three-day bender. When Valjean finds him, Javert assumes he's a hallucination. Things proceed awkwardly from there.
--
“Where are you going?” the hallucination asked, which was foolish. Surely his brain knew what Javert planned.
“To the nearest--” Javert paused, looked at the recently vacated wine-ship, and amended what he had been about to say. “To the next wine-shop. Obviously I am not drunk enough if you are here.”
The apparition got to its feet with a wince, as though his mind had ridiculously conjured aches and pains with which to torment Valjean’s specter. “Javert, your words make no sense,” it said, and Javert laughed again.
“I am making perfect sense.” He touched his pocket where he kept his money, frowned. “I hope you are only a drink or two from going away. I do not know how much more beer I can afford.”
