Shines Like Hope by Celli Lane (PG)

Hi, I'm [livejournal.com profile] freedomfry, and I'll be your driver through the Lord of the Rings fandom this month. I tend to read mostly in the World of Men, heavy on the Rohirrim, but for you I'll also be exploring hobbits, elves, and, most importantly, Warrior Bonding Through Slash.

Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Legolas/Aragorn
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] celli
Author Website: Fanfic 101
Why this must be read:

When my computer died a few months back, taking with it the dozens of stories I had bookmarked in my web browser (*sob*), this fic was one of the first I looked for again. I've read it a dozen times and love it more each time.

Celli described the fic as the "missing scenes from the first two films: Legolas learns about death, and hope, and his heart's desire." She doesn't mention her wonderful way with words, or the beautiful flow the story has, so I'll do it for her.
