Tolkien quote of the day:

'What shall I do, what shall I do? ' he said. `Did I come all this way with him for nothing? ' And then he remembered his own voice speaking words that at the time he did not understand himself, at the beginning of their journey: I have something to do before the end. I must see it through, sir, if you understand. ’But what can I do? Not leave Mr. Frodo dead, unburied on the top of the mountains, and go home? Or go on? Go on?' he repeated, and for a moment doubt and fear shook him. `Go on? Is that what I've got to do? And leave him?'

bullet Return to Me by Strange Blaze Last Updated: 7/29/2003
A story centered on Legolas' wife, Sorayaiel, and her thoughts and actions before, during, and after Legolas becomes involved with the Fellowship. Also a lot about the Mirkwood royal family and what happens to them during the War of the Ring. Expect a lot of angst, some violence, and a good amount of romance. Also expect lots of dwarves and a big focus on female friendships. I try to adhere to canon as much as possible, though I do have some small variances.

bullet In the Garden by Strange Blaze Last Updated: 7/27/2003
Complete for now. A small snippet from a prequel to my story Return to Me. In this story we witness Legolas' and Sorayaiel's first kiss, a discussion, much angst, and brotherly advice from Arahil. Once this entire story is up this part will be taken down but I thought people who like the other story might like this little part.
