[The Hobbit + Harry Potter] Light and Shadow

I fought for him in a sea of blood, crawled out of a mountain of corpses, and returned wounded, only to receive the news that he had left without a trace. Lucius returned to where it all began, his feelings still unspoken. If people could live forever, who would want to die? If we could hold on to what we cherish, who would choose to let it go? In a familiar world, I met you again. Thranduil. Your soul is not unfamiliar to me. I am willing to fight with all I've got. A short story, free to read. Thranduil tops Lucius. Two strong characters, happy ending. This can be read as a companion piece or alternate ending to my completed story The Way of the Elves. You don't need to have read The Way to enjoy this one. The original inspiration for the story was the fan edit of the same name, set to Pear Blossom Wine, featuring the same pairing. Other works on my page: Completed long paid story Platinum and Violets, Clarence (original character) tops Lucius.

Theme: Whether or not loss is inevitable, at least making the effort means you won't have regrets
