For @thomasmxller, who asked me for Legolas returning to Mirkwood for the first time after the Ring War. :) This is one of my fave imagined scenarios for the Mirkboys ‘cause in my humble headcanon Thranduil is a sometimes-emotionally difficult but otherwise pretty good and supportive dad.
If Legolas, say, makes a trip to Imladris to run basically a quick errand…………and ends up being MIA for a year while there is a very scary war on…………I think perhaps that’s the exact moment a father might realize he definitely hasn’t told his son that he loves him nearly enough.

Anyway - this topic is very dear to me – thank you for your support!! 😊💕
Legolas permanently babygirlified Gimli when he made him sit behind him on their horse. Gimli wrapped his arms around that elf’s waist and became a changed man.
