Summary
When the grey ship carrying Legolas and Gimli is wrecked in a storm, they wake on an island with no name, no stars they recognise, no road they can find, no indication that the world they were sailing toward exists at all.
Legolas was certain about the destination. Gimli was certain about what he could endure. They were both wrong.
For everyone who has ever looked for a friend and found them standing in exactly the right place.

Summary
The feast after Helm's Deep is loud and alive and Eowyn is burning with no place to put it. Legolas is sitting on the wall, watching the plains, speaking her language badly and beautifully. One thing leads, as it tends to, to another. Explicit. No regrets. Nobody catches feelings.

Summary

To Find the Sun by celebros for AFullRiggedShip (afullriggedship)

Summary
Once they have traveled a half-dozen times across the reaches of the land—from the Blue Mountains to the Iron Hills, the tip of lonely Andrast to the border with Near Harad, and so near to Rhûn that Aragorn has to beg them not to go again—Gimli suggests that he and Legolas might settle down. Not stop traveling entirely, he says hastily. Just… settle into a routine.
AKA "Legolas and Gimli Grow Old Together". Starting with Gimli's 250th birthday, spanning 11 years as they travel from Algarond to Ithilien together (and back, and then do it all again)... and going all the way to the end. Featuring Elboron and Eldarion, man-crushes, Sea-longing, issues of Elven aging, Legolas family angst, shipbuilding, geography, and Lothlórien.

Summary
The War of the Ring is over, but new conflicts are quick to arise. Legolas must navigate injury, friendship and the call of the Sea whilst helping rebuild two war-ravaged Kingdoms. If only the aftermath of the battle were as straightforward as the battle itself.
[Illustrated]

Summary
“If you intend to stay in Minas Tirith as long as we might have you, then you shall not leave,” Arwen warned, and Gimli smiled fondly at them.
“We would both be buried with you,” Gimli replied, and Aragorn closed his eyes, trying to encase all that he felt. “Now, I have distracted you too long. Let me return to my book, and you may return to whatever strange nonsense you are doing to the poor elf.”
Gimli and Legolas return from travelling Middle Earth. Aragorn and Arwen give them a thorough welcome home.

Summary
Aragorn has led Gimli and Legolas into more terrifying places than this. And while Gimli is most displeased that they must face another tomb, Elves do not tremble at the shades of men, and Aragorn is ever fearless.
Well. Perhaps next time Aragorn and Legolas will listen to Gimli.
If any of them ever make it out of here alive.

Summary
The Thranduilion features were there: fine boned, aristocratic, unmistakable, but they sat strangely on him, as if someone had taken a prince and taught him to live like a weapon, and now the weapon was being asked to smile nicely and call it reintegration.
Years after being stolen and dragged into Dol Guldur, Legolas has clawed his way back to a home that now feels like a foreign land. He doesn’t want a throne, he wants the South Watch and the anonymity of the barracks.
But they all remember the child that was lost, and the shadows of the South are long.
