Fic: The Journey (1/7)
My story for Aralas Week 2024 will use all seven prompts and will post daily. You can read the story on AO3 and on DW. On the last day, there will be a bonus post - a "Making of" on DW. I hope you'll like what I've come up with, feel free to leave feedback either on AO3 or on DW (guest comments are always on in both places).
The creative juices are flowing this year and I'm so pleased to have something new to show you all. At the same time I'm looking forward to what everyone else is coming up for A/L this year.

Beta: WGR, thank you for your help! All remaining mistakes are my own. Summary: Legolas agrees to be part of the fellowship as a favour to the Evenstar. He gets more than he bargained for.
Pairing: Aragorn/Legolas, background Aragorn/Arwen, past Legolas/Arwen Genre: Slash, (Movie)Gapfiller
Rating: NC17
Disclaimer: Nothing in Middle Earth is mine, but the world is too tempting to be left alone.
Author’s Note I: How Aragorn and Legolas met - the millionth reiteration of that trope. I alone have written at least three different versions so far. Since I was too lazy to research any of this (apart from checking the appendices for dates) and knowing full well that I’m contradicting the book in certain places (but not caring in the least), I call this movieverse (with my usual sprinkles of bookverse).
Author’s Note II: This was written for Aralas Week 2024, a week-long event for all sorts of fanworks providing seven prompts. I decided to use all seven prompts - meaning that this will be one continuous story in seven parts. The prompt words are: Before the fellowship, Between Anduin and Rohan, To Lothlórien, Siege of Gondor, Coronation, After Journey, The Final.
