Saw your Thranduil defense posts, and I hope you don't mind me asking for fics that centered on or spoke of Thranduil with respect? Especially when it tackles his relationship with his son or with his other kins.

I am ALWAYS happy to give recs!! []~(￣▽￣)~*

I’ve written a couple of Thranduil fics myself, so I have to mention those, but aside from that, here’s what I have immediately on hand:

Elvenkings by @meadowlarkx - This covers viewpoints of several Doriathrim, but it is so beautifully and lovingly done, and so well captures the potential history behind Thranduil’s attitudes as a ruler.

A Gift by serenityabrin - Adorable re-imagining of the scene where Bilbo gives Thranduil the necklace he took from Erebor, which makes his crush on Thranduil official ;)

Devices of the Heart by stewardess - A really very fun fic where Thorin runs into a mysterious stag while lost in the forest and must learn to break a spell…Excellent fairy tale energy in this AU!

A Light Burns in the Forest by tinnurin - Wrenching depiction of Thranduil and Oropher fleeing the Second Kinslaying with beautiful accompanying art.

Of Roots and Where They Lie by humancorn - A great look at Thranduil’s upbringing in Doriath, in a scenario where he learns magic from Melian.

The Fathers of Fools by carlandrea - Gloin and Thranduil discuss their sons joining the Fellowship. Really captures Thranduil’s grief over the danger Legolas is in :(

Ear to the Ground, Eye to the Sky by allthegoodnamesaretakendammit - This is a more Thorin-centric fic, but Thranduil does feature heavily, and I really enjoyed the AU. Here, Thorin dreams the events of The Hobbit and when he wakes up, tries to avoid that outcome.

Since I’ve already listed them all out, I’ll also just link to my Thorinduil rec list, all of which I would say treat Thranduil well as a character.

If anyone else has others, please feel free to add!
