Legolas

Page history last edited by PBworks 18 years, 2 months ago

Legolas is a Lord of the Rings fanfic written by Laura in either 2001 or 2002. It is considered to be the most famous fanfic in the legomance genre due to its numerous spelling, grammar, and continuity errors as well as its humorous characterization of Sauron. However, it is interesting to point out that, although the story is technically a legomance due to a plot point introduced at the end, it does not use many of the usual clichés that are often found in regular legomance fanfics.

 

Summary

 

The story begins with Legolas riding through an unnamed forest (presumably Mirkwood or “Milkwood” as it is called in the story) on horseback. Shortly after, he finds an abandoned baby girl wrapped in cloth. He decides to name her Laura and takes her home to his castle where King Thranduil (here referred to only as “father”) and Legolas’ mother decide that they should raise her as his sister.

 

The story picks up 10 years later with Legolas and Laura saying “good moring” to each other. Laura tells him that she wants to learn how to ride a horse. Legolas agrees to give her a lesson after she gets dressed and has breakfast. Meanwhile, Gandalf and Aragorn (who is referred to only as “Strider”) ride towards Legolas’ home to pay him a visit and briefly mention that neither of them knew that he had a sister while Sauron (referred to only as “the dark lord”) sends a group of orcs to kidnap Laura.

 

Gandalf and Aragorn meet up with Legolas and Laura during her horseriding lesson and Legolas introduces her to them. Aragorn remarks about how cute Laura is while she replies that it is because Legolas protects her. The two decide to stay the night at the castle. During the night, the group of orcs climb in through Laura’s window and kidnap her. After witnessing the entire event, the guards that were posted by her room tell Legolas what happened when he arrives shortly after.

 

When she arrives in Mordor (or "Mondor"), the orcs place Laura in a cell under Sauron’s orders and are instructed to beat her and do whatever they want with her except kill her. She is then raped, whipped, and poisoned by them. When she wakes up later, she is cold, cannot move her left arm, and cannot see “very well”.

 

After Sauron refuses to let Laura go, Legolas decides to climb up the side of the castle to the cell where she is being held. Gandalf tells Aragorn to go and help Legolas while he goes and kills Sauron. When Legolas gets to Laura, he observes her condition and tells her that the orcs did the same thing to him when he was her age. After ramming down the cell door with his body, he asks the orcs why they tortured her and not him. The orcs explain that it is because she has “a power” and that she is capable of destroying them. Then, Aragorn arrives and the two begin to fight off the orcs.

 

While Gandalf is fighting Sauron, he wishes that Frodo, Sam, “Pippen”, and Merry were there to help him. The four hobbits appear and tell Gandalf that they are there to help him and that they got rid of the ring.

 

Later, the group decides to head to Rivendell so that Laura can heal from her wounds. Once they are there, Legolas stays by Laura’s side everyday until she wakes up (which happens only a few hours after the battle). After the two kiss, Laura asks Legolas if he wants to be her boyfriend. He agrees, the two kiss again, and Legolas tells Laura what happened to her while she was being held captive in "Mondor". The story cuts off in mid-sentence shortly after Aragorn enters the room to check up on Laura.
