Ship headcanons Legolas x OFC/YN/reader

I saw this ship meme thing and wanted to do it with Legolas x Elin, my human OFC, but I kinda like it with any combo.

Gives nose/forehead kisses: Legolas

Gets jealous the most: Legolas, and he thinks he hides it better than he does

Picks the other up from the bar when they’re too drunk to drive: Legolas again, basically cos he almost never gets drunk

Takes care of on sick days: both would do, but Legolas never gets sick so...

Drags the other person out into the water on beach day: Elin

Gives unprompted massages: Legolas

Drives/rides shotgun: Legolas rides the horse, Elin goes behind (unless she's riding herself, which she likes to do occasionally)

Brings the other lunch at work: Elin

Has the better parental relationship: Elin. We all know Thranduil isn't the best role model around lol

Tries to start role-playing in bed: Elin, much to Legolas' shock and subsequent delight

Embarrassingly drunk dancer: Elin of course

Still cries watching Titanic doesn't really apply lol

Firmly believes in couples costumes: Elin tries to dress him up for Halloween, it doesn't go well but they have a lot of fun

Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas: both, they're the worst

Makes the other eat breakfast: both to each other really

Remembers anniversaries: Legolas

Brings up having kids: no one

Tagging @lordbhreanna for whatever ship she wants to do!

Home is behind | Prologue | Lord of the Rings - Legolas/OFC | Tenth walker, Modern girl in Middle Earth, Slow burn

Elin Priddy only wanted to go for a walk in the morning. Just some good ol' healthy hiking, having finished a job and needing some fresh air. She planned to be home by supper - but, sometimes, destiny has other plans. Such as for you to end up in the most unlikely of places: Middle Earth. Once she realizes she's not in Wales anymore, Elin will have to decide what to do with her knowledge of this world. Will she help the Fellowship and try to make everything better, or will she step aside and watch as the events unfold in front of her?

My take on the known trope: girl falls into Middle Earth, follows the Fellowship around, gets the hots for the pretty elf.

Legolas and Elin by Night Consilio.

I love this scene! Elin Priddy is my dear OC, a Welsh girl with a dwarven soul who fell in Middle Earth to shatter Legolas’ world - and his patience, apparently. You can read more about these two in my fic Desde aquí hasta mi hogar. It’s in Spanish, though!

So, top three songs that remind you of Elin & Legolas? ❤️

Thanks for the ask! I love it. So, first of all, a bit of explanation as to wtf Elin & Legolas is for those of you who don’t know. I’m writing a very lengthy, very slowburn fic Legolas x human OFC - yes, it’s got everything, it’s got “girl falls in Middle Earth”, it’s got “Tenth Walker”, it’s got dwarven culture and slowbuild and a lot of mutual pinning. So for this fic I have a Spotify playlist with, as of today, 40 songs on it that remind me of Elin and her relationship with Legolas, her journey through Middle Earth and her searching for home. But now, to the question in case: my top three songs for these two lovebirds. I have considered things carefully and, right now -this could change in the future as I expand the playlist- these are my fave songs, and I’ll explain WHY cause we’re here for the rant. 1. Young and beautiful - Lana del Rey Will you still love me When I’m no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me When I’ve got nothing but my aching soul? I know you will, I know you will I know that you will Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful? Dear lord, when I get to heaven Please let me bring my man When he comes tell me that you’ll let him in Father tell me if you can All that grace, all that body All that face, makes me wanna party He’s my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds So, I know this one is the most obvious for an elven/human couple, but it just fits so well. I can totally see Elin asking herself these same questions, having so many doubts about engaging in a relationship with Legolas ‘cause she knows she is gonna age and die in front of his eyes and he will remain young, beautiful… and heartbroken. The verse where she’s addressing God I think is specially heartbreaking, because in Tolkien legendarium elven and human souls don’t go to the same place. Elin and Legolas will never have the comfort of knowing that they will see each other again. In case you don’t know, the elvish fëa, their soul, goes to the Halls of Mandos when an elf dies and it rests there until the soul is healed and ready to be reborn. Then the elf will be born again (the canon differs between being reborn as a child that will gain their memories with time or just come back as the elf as they were before). Elves really don’t die unless they choose not to leave the Hall of Mandos or, in rare cases such as Arwen or Luthien, trade their inmortality completely. But it’s different with humans. Humans in Middle Earth die just as we do, and nobody knows where do their souls go or if they go somewhere. That is something only Eru Illúvatar knows and not even Mandos or any of the Valar have any clue. That is the Gift of Men. And Legolas and Elin are very aware of this. They know that the brief time of Elin’s life is ALL they have, and it breaks my heart just imagining Elin praying to Eru to let her be with him one more time, after her death. ‘Cause she forsook her time and her home to save Middle Earth and be with him, and she knows that she’ll die and that will leave a hole in Legolas’ heart taht will never heal. (I’ve made myself really sad writing this and I HAVE to add that since mortal people on Valinor do die, there will come a day when Legolas will also lose Gimli and I’m note sure that the poor thing will be able to recover. I can totally see Legolas choosing to die in Valinor and just staying in the Halls of Mandos, never returning to his hröa, his body, until the Dagor Dagorath, the Battle of all Battles. Imma gonna cry for a bit now, brb). 2. Home – Phillip Phillips Hold on, to me as we go As we roll down this unfamiliar road And although this wave is stringing us along Just know you're not alone 'Cause I'm going to make this place your home This second song is more about the theme of the whole fic than just their relationship, but I see it as Legolas talking to Elin. Elin comes from our world, but she doesn’t really leave anything behind – anything but her uncle and her job. She’s always lived in the same house, even after her parents passed away, and she’s always been kind of a loner. She’s got friends, sure, but she kind of lives her life just passing by, not really taking risks or doing the things she really longs for. She loves her home, but when she was younger she dreamt of living in the city. She just never left when her parents died, cause the house was all she had left from them. She loves to travel and dreamt of seeing the whole world, but then she was an orphan and had to manage college and work at the same time, so she chose to study from home. She just accepted what life threw at her and never tried to fight her fate. She complied, and was contented. But then she was pushed into Middle Earth, on a journey she didn’t want to take, and everything changed for her. She had no home. She had no way of knowing if she could ever go back to her world. Where does she really fit in Middle Earth? Where does she really fit in her life? Her disappearence barely had any effect on her time. Where is home for her? So, throughout the story she will struggle with these questions, this searching for belonging, and to her surprise she will find it in Legolas. His hand will be the hand showing her home, and he will try his best to make her feel like she belongs. Cause she does. 3. Stand by you – Rachel Platten. Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you Yeah, you're all I never knew I needed And the heart, sometimes it's unclear why it's beating And love, if your wings are broken We can brave through those emotions too 'Cause I'm gonna stand by you Oh, truth, I guess truth is what you believe in And faith, I think faith is helping to reason No, no, no, love, if your wings are broken Borrow mine so yours can open too 'Cause I'm gonna stand by you This last song kind of comprises the themes I’ve talked about in the others: death and belonging. It can be seen from both points of view, though I usually imagine is Elin who sings it (maybe ‘cause the singer is a woman). The War of the Ring is the hell they have to brave through and leaves them tired, broken and hurt – but they’re are gonna be there for each other, even when they know that, at the end of everything, Heaven is not something they can reach. They will power through the war, fight alongside one another, be each other wings and hands and eyes and, when it all ends, that’s all they will have left. Each other. Elin knows there’s no Valinor for her. Legolas knows it too. But their love will be their Heaven, if nothing else can be. They will stand by each other through hell, through heaven, through life and through death. If you're still reading after this long AF post and would like to check the playlist, here's a link! And, in case the fic caught someone's attention, here it is. This looong post talks about things that hasn't happened yet - but it's a Tenth Walker Legolas x OFC fic, so you could see them coming! Also, the fic is written in Spanish, sorry folks! Although I'm not completely against the idea of translating it to English someday, if there's demand.

Vale, pregunta al canto: en Desde aquí hasta mi hogar lo vemos todo desde punto de vista de Elin, así que ¿qué fue lo primero que le llamó la atención a Legolas de ella? ¿Qué es lo que hace que se sienta atraído?

¡Siento haber tardado tanto en responder! Le he dado muchas vueltas, pero creo que lo primero que le llama la atención de Elin es su pelo, simple y llanamente porque destaca como una hoguera en la oscuridad. La primera vez que la ve, ella está sentada junto a un grupo de enanos al otro lado de la mesa observándole a él, y se queda muy confundido. ¿Qué hace una humana, vestida como una elfa, junto a los enanos, en Rivendel? Es todo muy confuso, pero Legolas tampoco le da más vueltas.

Lo que hace que no pueda sacársela de la cabeza es, de hecho, su siguiente encuentro, cuando se chocan y ella es bastante borde con él. Legolas no es alguien engreído, pero es un príncipe y es ;elfo. Eso ya le pone por encima de los humanos y de muchos otros elfos, y aunque no espera servidumbre de nadie está acostumbrado a que se le trate con una deferencia que Elin no tiene. No le molesta que no le traten como si fuera superior, porque no se siente superior a nadie, pero le sorprende porque no está acostumbrado. En Eryn Galen es el hijo del rey y el capitán de la guardia (al menos en mi headcanon) así que hay más gente bajo su mando que sobre él. Fuera de Eryn Galen, cualquier humano que encuentre va a actuar siempre cohibido ante un elfo.

Pero Elin no. 

Y luego aparece en el concilio. El problema para Legolas es que Elin es todo preguntas y ninguna respuesta, y no está acostumbrado a no saber. Además de que su presencia le confunde, todo en ella es un misterio. ¿De dónde es? ¿Por qué habla tan raro? ¿Nadie le ha enseñado modales? No puede evitar fijarse en ella y las preguntas sin respuesta le vuelven loco.

Y claro, una vez que se fija en ella, se fija mucho en ella. Reconozcámoslo: Legolas no está muy en contacto con sus sentimientos, al menos no con esta clase, así que tiene un crush con ella y no lo sabe, y no sabe gestionarlo. Todo lo que sabe hacer es seguir vigilándola, aprender más de ella, y reaccionar mal cada vez que siente una unidad de sentimiento. Y Elin le va a dar muchos de esos.

Home is behind | Chapter 1 | Lord of the Rings - Legolas/OFC | Tenth walker, Modern girl in Middle Earth, Slow burn

Lost in the mountains and surprisingly alive, Elin wonders where the hell she’s at and how long will it take for a bear to eat her alive. It shouldn’t be so hard to find civilization, but everywhere she looks there’s only trees, bushes and more trees. One thing is clear - if she’s dead, Heaven sucks.
