(green // blue means two main options, red means i need to think about it more)
The main details I'm figuring out right now are
does Celebrimbor still die at Eregion - I don't think he's getting captured/tortured, but he could still die in the battle. On the other hand, he could probably survive by using Narya & Lomion using Nenya, but that would definitely have repercussions further down the line
how does Idril's deal work - I'm currently thinking of Idril exchanging the location of Gondolin for her family's guaranteed safety, because it seems in character for Reverse Idril? But on the other hand, even if I limit it to immediate family at the time of the oath (tuor, turgon, earendil) then idk where turgon dies? Maybe Maglor can kill him but that seems kind of random
where and how does Turgon die
how does Prince Elrond's character even work
how does Numenor still fall when factoring in Prince Elrond - I'm thinking that the morgoth death cult gained enough traction during the time sauron was there that even after Elrond kicks him out, the cult still sticks around and reemerges later? The Fall still happens, but they never go to attack valinor and there's a good deal more Faithful (maybe 40-60%?)

May i request a legolas x reader where they both annoy each other, but are trapped in a situation where they realize what true fondness they share?? thank you very much, have a fantastic day!
Annoying Fondness
A/n: Of course Anon, I hope you enjoy, also kinda think I made Legolas look like an asshole at the start.
Summary: (the Request)
Pairing: Legolas X Reader
Ft: Reader is Feren's sibling.
Legolas was annoying, he had no respect for you or what you do, why couldn't he be like Thranduil, the King had respect for you, mostly because you were the only good forgemaster around, Legolas came in saying is weapons were broken when you were working on fixing your Brothers armor and expected you to do it right away, because he was busy and needed it for Patrol, you just handed him another weapon and told him to use that for now.
Or all the times he went to the forge to talk his head off to you about how great and wonderful Tauriel was, you fill well know Tauriel didn't like Legolas back so you kept your mouth shut about it, and that prince was so over energetic.
So you hated the situation you had become trapped in, hiding from spiders because they surrounded you and there were to many to take out on your own, you had somewhat pinned the prince to the floor and kept your hand over his mouth, you waited but the sounds of the spiders never faded enough so you could get out, you pulled Legolas to your hiding place in the woods, Feren never let you go out to hunt so you slipped out, the passage lead to the kings throne, you weren't sure how Thranduil had not found it yet, you removed the bark and put it to one side, you at Legolas, slipped in and you closed it behind you.
This certainly wasn't built for two people, Legolas glared at you as you passed him, the tunnel had been collapsed you cursed yourself and turned back to legolas.
"What the hell is this place, do you have secret hide outs all threw these woods and no one knew about them" Legolas hissed at you in anger, You annoyed Legolas mostly because you didn't care for a lot of things and you had always been shifty and shady, you were like a snake to him, one he could catch or find proof of.
"No the King knows dumbass, well he knows most of them, he uses one to get away from his people with when they are all being stupid, your ada let me keep them after he found out as long as he could use them" You shot, the room was very cramped as the tree wasn't big, so you and Legolas were right on top of each other.
"The reason we are in this mess is because of you" Legolas shot at you.
"No it is not my fault, it's yours, if you didn't go bursting into that nest alone, then we wouldn't be trapped in this mess, Feren and Tauriel are already back by now, they probably noticed we didn't go with them, they'll send a search party soon enough, we just have to sit still until then" You said
"How are they meant to find us if this is a secret to all but my father" Legolas said
"Actually this one is a secret to your father, the tunnel led under his throne and you open the back peice and then your in the halls, unfortunetly for us, it collapsed 5-6's days maybe weeks ago by the looks of it" You said seconds turned to minutes which turned into hours of silent, you cursed not being able to tell what the prince was thinking it was annoying.
Legolas hadn't even thought how beautiful you were, he was always more concerned with Tauriel, he couldn't see what was right in front of him as he found you so annoying, the way your ears were pointier than his or the way your eyes seemed to shift threw the shades of Y/E/C depending on the lighting, or how soft your hands were given you were a forge master it was impressive, your face was made as it was sculpted by the Valar themselves or how your braids looked simple and yet were very intricately done with skill like it was it's own air piece or how you seemed to weave the way your brother did his into almost every one.
You glanced to Legolas as he was staring at you, it was hard not to stare at each other as the space was so cramp, you half cursed yourself for looking, you didn't even realize how little you thought of Legolas you only thought of him when he annoyed you, he was kind of cute for someone so annoying, how is brows were furrowed together in concentration to not fall on top of you, fuck were you really falling for the prince now.
You realized you should probably stop the continued silence you moved over and pulled him down to sit next to you, it was a cramped fit but the prince welcomed it, when you got talking you realized you had more in common than you realized with the prince.
"So, how is Feren in a family sense he's always so focused by duty" Legolas questioned
"The same, but the duty is directed at being a good elder brother, given our father lives in Lothlórien and our mother passed when we were Elflings we never got to know her" You said
"why did you move to the Greenwood then" Legolas questioned
"Wasn't our choice, our mother passed because she was ambushed by orcs much like Elrond's wife, it was a convoy going from Lothlórien to the Greenwood, your father found us, hidden under some blankets, the rest of the elves that were with us was slain, he told Lady Galadriel about it, who told our father, but he never came, so Elros parents offered to raise us, we never went back because we have no life there" You told Legolas
"Oh I'm sorry for asking" Legolas said
"Don't be, I don't need your pity nor your sympathy, how did your mother" You trailed off
"During the war with Angmar, she was one of the fallen" Legolas said, the silence from before returned before it was quickly lost again about Legolas talking about how skilled an archer he was.
"A skill archer, you may be the best in the greenwood, but i bet you, i can beat you" You said
"And what do I get if i beat you" Legolas said.
"I am trading with the Dwarves of Erebor next week, they say i am allowed the dead corpse of the dragon as well as some Black Iron and Mithril, Dragon scale and hide are nearly impossible to break and if you were mithril under it, I will make you a new set of armor and arrows with the tips of Black Iron" you said
"And if you win" Legolas said
"You annoy Lord Elrond out of my Forge if he comes to it, the next 30 visits, as wise as that Lord is, i don't need criticism from him, it's my forge not his" You returned
"Actually it's my fathers forge but you are his forge master" Legolas said
"Oh shut up the details are not necessary" you said you put your hand on Legolas mouth
"shh, someones out side" you whispered into his ear.
"They couldn't hid in very many places here do you think" Came Feren's voice
"Your sibling has hiding places and hidden weapons all around this forest Feren, i know less then half of them" Thranduil's voice came, Legolas looked besides you and his eyes widened.
"Found you" The spider hissed at you, Legolas shot out of the tree you however grabbed a sword and stumbled out the spider on top of you, you shoved the sword into it's face you kicked it off you, you stood and brushed yourself off.
"Turns out those places aren't safe any more" you shrugged you turned to legolas
"Is that bet on or not" You questioned him, he nodded as you threw the sword to Thranduil
"That is yours" you said as he caught it, what happened after that day was far from what anyone expected
"All we needed to do was lock you in a tight enclosed space" Feren said looking at you and Legolas
"i guess" You shrugged as you pressed a kiss to Legolas' temple,
"i should of shoved you in that broom closet" Feren said
"If you did that I would of Killed you" Legolas let out a chuckle as his arms wrapped around your back and his head rested on your chest as you straddled him.
"Don't kill your brother" Legolas hmmed.
"What are we just going to hang out in the forge now, instead of trying to avoid Legolas, I have to admit it was fun" Elros said Melduir nodded in agreement
"Hey, that was not fun, you talked to me on Patrol, but as soon as we got back you bolted" Legolas said
"Hey that's what you get if you annoy Y/n, we did it to Feren once" Melduir said
"Oh and You hurt them, we will kill you, we don't care if it's treason" Feren said.
