Author has written 45 stories for Lord of the Rings. I've been writing young Legolas stories for some time now, so maybe it's helpful to readers if I list them in chronological order by Legolas's age and show how old he is in them in both elf years and human equivalent. 1.

They are both at www.storiesofarda.com. I have also written a single-chapter fic about young Celuwen. It's here at ff.net and is called "Celuwen's Begetting Day." Finally, I have a two chapter fic called "Path of Memories," another single chapter story both with Thranduil as the main character, called "The Decision." If you're looking for more good stories, Wendwriter has put together a collection of stories she recommends.
