Thranduil Fanfiction: A Thousand Years in a Single Thought

Thranduil: Why are you covering your face? You must be ugly. Liu Qin: I suspect your logic is flawed, but whatever makes you happy, Your Majesty. Thranduil: If seeing your face means I have to marry you, then I'll graciously let Galion take my place. Liu Qin: ... (raises her middle finger) But as they spent more time together, something began to quietly change in their hearts. They traded insults, kept each other company, and fought side by side. Thranduil looked at Liu Qin and chuckled. "Talking to you is so relaxing. It's strange, considering how different we are." Yes, Liu Qin thought, it was strange. This Elvenking had a terrible personality, so how had she fallen for him? Maybe it was his looks. Yeah, that might actually be it. How shameful. How had she become such a hopeless pretty-face addict? So Liu Qin wrote a diary entry and gave it an especially scholarly title: "A Study of How Differences in Aesthetic Standards Between Species Affect Mate Selection." Elrond: What do you think of them? Galion: Hard to say. Neither of them has much emotional intelligence. Life has its bitter and sweet moments, and so does this story. She isn't Cinderella, and he isn't exactly a prince. Things might move a little slowly, because they're both hopeless at romance. It's the twists and hardships along the way that let us see the most beautiful, enduring love. Note: The male lead is Thranduil, the Elvenking from The Hobbit. The female lead is Liu Qin, the daughter of a merchant caravan leader from the East. The characters are based primarily on the film versions. Please forgive any differences from the books.
