Latest update:
"Trouble Follows" May 1, 2008
Cassia
and Siobhan are the creators of a series of Aragorn and Legolas
friendship stories, called The Mellon
Chronicles. Cassia made
photomanips and video trailers to go with the stories. A great many
writers enjoyed the series so much that they like to write and create art inside that
filled-in history, and continue to do so, and we hope to post some or
many of these stories as well.
The main AU in this series, an intentional one, is
that Gilraen dies
early, increasing Aragorn's dependence on Elrond who adopted him in
Tolkien's works, and on the twins as his sole family. Only the rangers
and travels to human areas teach him about being human. Growing up with
elves causes Aragorn's humility and extremely high abilities, much as
would have occurred even with Gilraen.
Other AU's:
"There is very little history given about
Mirkwood/Greenwood or about Thranduil and his father Oropher in
LOTR. Some of the information that is given occasionally seems
to contradict itself. Taking this all into account Siobhan and I
have chosen which parts we will use and which parts we will
ignore. The Mirkwood of this story is largely of our creation, as
are its customs, ways and politics, so if you see things differently,
that’s fine, know that it’s just our artistic take on things and we’re
not trying to say it’s canon fact, of course it isn’t.
Also, please note that we have once again opted to
use the more familiar Mirkwood name, instead of Greenwood as it would
actually have been called at this point in Middle Earth history.
Likewise, we are ignoring the fact that at the time this story [Tears
Like Rain] takes place the wood-elves would technically have been
dwelling far further south in Mirkwood, in the area later occupied by
Dol Guldur, nearer to Lórien. Please forgive us these
small liberties and do not flame us for them."
A number of stories are quite violent, and are
therefore not suitable for the young. Ratings and warnings will be
provided here. Ratings are given as for American movies. G is suitable
for anyone, PG has some warning, PG-13 is only for age 13 and up, R is
a stronger warning. NC-17 is only for age 17 and up, and is not on the
Valar Guild site. X is the most extreme warning, and not found on this
site. Neither of the last two ratings are found in the Mellon
Chronicles. The ratings are by the authors.
Cassia and Siobhan have moved to Tolkien fan fiction
after writing in the Star
Wars fandom. Their Mellon Chronicles site is currently not
taking new fiction. The Valar Guild is proud to begin the work
of preserving this fine series, with their permission.
The thirty-four stories are listed chronologically
according to their storyline, with links once the posting is available.
These have the author's summaries. Most of the comments are taken
directly from the authors, and "I" usually means Cassia, the usual
spokesperson for the pair. (We love you too, Siobhan!) All stories are
complete, and will be posted.

Like Rain by
Cassia and Siobhan R
R rating: Warning: Child abuse, violence, death
Mirkwood has suffered tragic losses in the Last
Great Alliance, including her King. With the very survival of the
kingdom at stake, Thranduil finds himself at deadly odds with his older
brother Doriflen. When young Legolas becomes a pawn in his uncle's
ruthless power games, the lies, deception and betrayal risk destroying
more than just the young prince's life.

Captive
of Darkness by Cassia R
(First story written for MC, setting up problems for our heroes later.)
R rating:
This story contains acts of violence, torture and
one instance of implied rape. Nothing is handled in a graphic manner,
but
if the idea of it bothers you at all,
PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS STORY!
Time Frame:
Somewhere near the beginning of the Third Age.
Legolas is about 100 years old (which is young yet for an elf. I don’t
really know how elf ages run, but I see him as being equivalent to
somewhere between 16-19 years old by human standards).
This story takes place in the beginning of the Third
Age not many hundreds of years after the Last Great Alliance of Men and
Elves. At this time the Silvan realm of Mirkwood was known as Greenwood
the Great because the creeping darkness of Sauron, under the guise of
the Necromancer, had not yet spread its foul stain upon that region.
Because Greenwood/Mirkwood is best remembered by its
later name that it held near the end of the Third Age and at the time
of the great War of the Ring, it shall hereafter be referred to as
Mirkwood, even though at the time this story took place it would have
still been known as Greenwood the Great.
Summary:
When young
prince Legolas is sent as an envoy to a neighboring kingdom,
things quickly go from bad to worse when treachery rears its ugly head.
There are dangerous and deadly things going on in the seemingly
innocent realm of Dorolyn and it is up to Legolas and a mysterious
stranger to sort things out before an evil more dark than they could
begin to imagine is unleashed upon an unsuspecting land.
Legolas, Thranduil, Elrond.

Hope
by Siobhan G
Young Aragorn has a nightmare and Elrond comforts
him. Aragorn discovers that elves sleep with their eyes open.
Author's Note:
This story was inspired by Cassia and her wonderful
wonderings about elves. She discovered that elves sleep with their eyes
open and we wondered what that would be like the first time Aragorn
found that out. So this story is gratefully dedicated to Cassia, who
inspires me to write. Without her there would be no stories to tell.

Father's
Love by Siobhan with tiny touches by
Cassia. G/PG child angst
Hurt by the taunts of his young friends, little
Aragorn runs away and hides in the forest after breaking his arm,
convinced that being adopted means his elven father doesn't really want
him. Elrond and his sons must find the youngest member of their family
and set things straight.

Never Alone by Cassia
with tiny
touches by Siobhan. PG-13
Aragorn is 13.
Summary:
"When 13-year-old Estel is injured, the twins and
Elrond remember some other difficult times in their own respective
youths and a special gift is given across generations, reminding us
that none of us are ever truly alone."
"Please Note:
"Some of the situations relating to Elrond’s past
are taken from the accounts given in the Silmarillion, greatly detailed
and embellished by moí. :o) Information in the SIL
is very scetchy and it’s easy to fill in the gaps with all sorts of
supposition and ‘what if’, which is what I have done. Please
don’t roast me if you don’t like the changes and interpretations I’ve
put on things. They are just my point of view.
"Also, I really don’t mean to vilify the sons of
Fëanor, (although a few of them were absolute JERKS) especially
since Maedhros and Maglor were actually the more decent ones of them
all so hopefully no one will get too upset by my (very brief)
interpretation of them in chapter two."

First
Meetings by Siobhan, in collaboration with
Cassia.
PG-13 for some violence
"Aragorn and Legolas meet for the first time.
Aragorn is in his early
twenties and nearly gets killed when he ignores his adopted father's
good advice. Legolas finds him, but must fight the demons of his past
in order to help the young human."

Change
of Heart, Change of Mind by Siobhan and Cassia. PG or
PG-13, for minor violence and tense situations
"Aragorn and Legolas are beginning to become
friends, but not everyone in Mirkwood looks kindly on this, or upon
they young human ranger. When Legolas' life is threatened, Aragorn is
the one person available who knows how to save him, but will the others
listen to him before it is too late? "

Return
by Cassia and Siobhan. PG-13
"Sequel to Exile. Legolas and Aragorn
venture into the Mines of Moria to
help Balin, only to get more than they bargained for. Meanwhile,
Mirkwood is falling into darkness. Her only hope ends up resting in the
hands of the two people she has scorned, and Legolas & Aragorn will
risk more than their lives to save her."
"Part of this story is slightly un-canon because we
place the events of the dwarves’ attempted return to Moria some years
prior to when I think it would actually have happened if one tries to
follow a strict Tolkien time-line. For the sake of the story it could
not be helped. Please consider this a use of artistic license and do
not feel inclined to roast, boil or squash us into jelly over this
inaccuracy. :o) Thanks!"

Mistaken
Identity by Cassia and Siobhan.
PG-13
A dark elf with a burning hatred for men is
terrorizing the countryside around Rivendell. Unfortunately, that elf
bears a striking resemblance to Prince Legolas. An innocent visit from
Mirkwood to Rivendell lands Legolas in more trouble than he bargained
for, but he is not the only one, because when the dark elf's deadly
designs become focused on Aragorn, everyone is in danger.

Family Trouble by Cassia and Siobhan. PG-13
No art made at this time.
"A disastrous run-in with some villagers leaves
Aragorn and Legolas trapped and in a bad way. To keep despair and
claustrophobia at bay, Aragorn coaxes Legolas into telling him a story
about the elf prince's past when Legolas spent some time in his
father's dungeons. Legolas relates why his mother left for the havens
and Aragorn finds out that there are still a few things about his
friend he did not know. Meanwhile, time for them is running short."
"The story takes place in two time lines. One timeline is set about two years after Mistaken Identity and the other is about 30-50 years after Captive of Darkness. "

Vilya
by Cassia and Siobhan. PG-13 for violence and tense
situations.
"A devastating earthquake rocks Rivendell and the
surrounding areas, leaving chaos and heartbreak in its wake. With
Elrond on the brink of death, Aragorn runs away, convinced that he is
responsible. Legolas must try to find him before the disaster can claim
his life as well. Angry townspeople, a flooding river and the forces of
nature conspire against them all, leaving no one unscathed. The waters
are rising, Rivendell is about to be washed away, and the one person
who could save her lies dying..."

wants to do is leave
Rivendell and his friends... but when he does, what will he encounter?
And will Aragorn be able to save him from it before the elf prince
loses more than just his life?"

The
Seventh Stone by Cassia and Siobhan. PG-13
"When Aragorn and Legolas come into the possession
of an ancient map that tell where one of the lost Palantiri is hidden
they end up in more trouble than they bargained for, as it seems that
everyone wants to get their hands on the stone, no matter the cost. But
a more sinister force is at work than even the elf and the ranger
realize."
"You may or may not concur with some points of this
story since it ties forward to the LOTR in some pretty distinct ways
and deals with some things that directly affect that story. Of
course we don’t insist this is how it actually happened, but it makes
for a good story so we claim artistic license. :o) You
don’t have to agree, but hopefully you will enjoy!"

"After a long absence, Legolas is finally
returning home to Mirkwood.
But what will he and Aragorn find when they get there? Trouble more
severe than either of them could have ever guessed is stirring in the
Wood-elves realm and treachery beyond imagining. The resulting struggle
may be more than either the elf or the ranger can handle... and if they
can't, then not only they, but all of Mirkwood is doomed."

"Siobhan wrote this story for me when I was having

The
Stars of Harad by Cassia & Siobhan. PG-13
(more editing later, leaving in block format)
"When Aragorn falls in love with Arwen, it seems
that he has done the one thing that could ever divide he and his elven
family. Certain that his home is his no longer, Aragorn leaves with the
rangers, attempting to forget the heartache of all he has lost... What
he did not count on was losing his memory and forgetting everything.
"Now, to find him, Legolas must join the very men
who have captured and enslaved his friend, he must be one of them...
and he must pay the dreadful penalty when their confidence is broken.
"But if Aragorn cannot remember, cannot trust the
elf he no longer knows... will it all have been in vain?"

Mind's Eye by Siobhan with tiny touches by Cassia. PG
No art yet.
"Aragorn lost his memory in Harad. It
returned, but not all of it returned at once. The healing mind is
a funny thing. So when he finds himself somewhere strange, in an
unthinkable situation, what is he supposed to think? Where is
he? What’s happening? How can he set it right?"
"This little story was actually the result of a
dream, and is supposed to echo that odd, surreal quality that dreams
tend to possess, so don’t worry if it doesn’t make a lot of sense right
away... just keep reading. :) "

Dark
Visions by Cassia & Siobhan. PG-13
"Aragorn is having disturbing dreams about his
friend Legolas. When he sees the prince's death in the Mirror of
Galadriel he sets out to try to change the future. Yet it seems that
the fates, a ring of horse thieves and a deadly venom are determined to
conspire against Legolas before his friend can even reach him. Even
with Elrond's help, will Aragorn be able to keep his visions from
coming true?"
A/N: "As
sometimes is necessary we may take a few years liberty with some of the
events in these stories. For example, Aragorn’s right about
thirty so technically Théoden would be around 13 and heaven only
knows old Éomund would be, but both of them appear or are
mentioned as being a little older in this story. 18 at least, so
nobody have a heart attack over the few discrepancies like that
please. Thanks. "
Aragorn's foresight ability begins to show, and he
tries to prevent
Legolas' death. Elrond knows that he will not see much of Aragorn any
longer and travels with him. Aragorn becomes "Thorongil".

Traitor
by Cassia & Siobhan. PG-13
"Fifteen years is a long time... a long time in
which Aragorn and Legolas have not seen one another. When Legolas is
accused of being a traitor to Gondor there are some who would like
Aragorn to think that things have changed more than he realizes.
Embroiled in a strange mesh of deception and intrigue Legolas' one
chance may rest with his old friend... but will Denethor's dislike of
Aragorn turn the elf into a pawn in more than one game? And can any of
them figure out how they are really being betrayed before Legolas and
Gondor both pay the price?"
Author's notes:
"We are writing this on book information alone mostly, since the parts
of the movie that will deal with Gondor and Denethor are not out yet,
so it may or may not conflict with the movie-verse universe when they
come out, but at least, we feel, it works with the book.
"The Gondorians in this story, such as Alcarin, have
no relation to any persons of the same names in the LOTR decipher
trading card games. LOL it seems that we just all got our names
from the same place. :o)
Also, please note that we know *nothing* about
military ranking and all that, so it’s very probably the at many times
we totally messed up the chain of command, but it is highly unlikely
that Gondor’s army followed the same ranking system that ours does
anyway, and since Tolkien never saw fit to tell us exactly how it did
work (or if he did I completely glossed over it and don’t even
remember) we have created our own ranking system for them that goes as
follows:
(top is the highest position and bottom is the
lowest)
--Captain (sort of like Generals)
--Commander (Commander is often used simply to
denote someone who is above someone else as well though)
--Lieutenant
--Sergeant
--general soldiers
"Obviously, there are probably other ranks, but none
that are necessary for this story.
"Oh, and we gave Denethor green eyes for no
particularly good reason except that we couldn’t find a color in the
book and the movie isn’t out yet. :o) Forgive us if we
messed up. (LOL yes, considering who created him he probably had
GREY eyes, but you know, that gets so boring after a while...)
Also other details in the appendixes regarding some of the events in
this story may or may not have been changed or tweaked slightly for the
purposes of the plot. Please accept the changes, as always, as
artistic license on our part and do not flame us for them. Thank
you!
"Please note and HEAR YE ALL: I am going to explain
this once and hope it makes sense ever after. Aragorn is a man of
many names, including Estel, Strider and Aragorn, he has now added
another, Thorongil."

Escape
from Mordor by Cassia & Siobhan. PG-13
"Legolas has been sold into slavery in Mordor, but
after everything he has been through, his wounded spirit no longer has
the strength to endure.
By venturing into the heart of Sauron's realm, Aragorn puts at risk the
thus far carefully guarded and deadly secret of his identity. But if
Aragorn does not find Legolas soon, the prince will die; one way or
another. Yet even when he is found... can the two friends, alone
against all of Mordor, ever manage to escape the death trap of the dark
lands?"
"You can note that although we had Legolas being
carted around on ships, they were all on rivers and the only times he
may have even been remotely near enough to the sea for there to have
been any gulls or anything else, he was too drugged to even know what
was happening. We tried very hard to make sure that bit stayed
canon."

Curse
of Angmar by Cassia & Siobhan. PG-13
"Aragorn and Legolas wanted only to rest and heal
after their harrowing experiences in the south. But fate has other
plans. Evil has always haunted the Barrow-downs near the Shire, but now
strange things have begun happening and many are saying that the wights
have awoken to haunt the countryside. Aragorn and Legolas, along with
Aragorn's brothers and fellow rangers, must ascertain the truth of what
is going on, but will what they find be more than they can deal with?"
Language Note:
"We use two different forms of the elvish word for
‘brother’ in this story. Muindor
which simply means brother, and Gwador
which implies a sworn-associates as-close-as-brothers kind of
relationship not bound by actual familial ties."

Siege of Dread by Cassia & Siobhan. PG-13
"Rivendell has always been a place of peace. When
that tranquility is threatened it leads to a cascade of events that
seek to destroy Aragorn's adopted family. Two mysterious figures from
the past become suddenly important and in a bizarre turn of events,
Aragorn and Legolas find themselves faced with trying to save not only
the future of Rivendell, but Mirkwood as well... if they can save
themselves, first."

Between Darkness and Dawn by Cassia & Siobhan. PG-13 [being formatted]
Pre-LotR, after "Siege of Dread".
"Thus far, Aragorn and Legolas have managed to
repeatedly cross the path of an ancient evil and escape with little
notice taken... but that luck has just run out. The Witch King is very
curious about the beings who have twice evaded and thwarted him. He
wants to know who they are... especially the human. When he is
deliberately poisoned, Aragorn's only hope of survival is to follow the
Wraith's summons to Angmar, where lies the antidote. To stay with him
now, Legolas must choose to walk willingly into the arms of the
darkness that has once enslaved, and once broken his spirit. Imprisoned
by a brutal host, the flame of the ranger's hope begins to dim, even as
Legolas struggles to keep it alive."
Additional Notes and Disclaimers:
We’ll try to keep this section short this time, I
promise. I’ll just give you a few little disclaimers I want to
get out of the way up front. *smile*
We are not herbalists.
We use many references to herbs and primitive or
natural medicines in this story. While a few are real, most are
completely fictional. Do not try these things at home, they
probably don’t work! LOL
We are not Volcanologists.
We do some things in this story with magma and
volcanic activity that we are not entirely sure is completely
possible. We did look it up and got some interesting answers from
a gentleman who *is* a Volcanologist, but take it all with a grain of
salt anyway and realize when one is dealing with evil, undead spirits
and body-less eyes, there is hopefully room for a few other phenomena.
:o)
We are not sane...
OOPS!!! *quickly hits delete key* how did THAT get in there?... *smile*

Never Cold in Your Shadow by
Siobhan & Cassia. G
"Vignette. Aragorn and Legolas discuss destiny
and why Aragorn let the elf beat him in a sparring match."
Includes an original poem by Cassia.
"There isn’t a plot to this story; it’s merely a
vignette – a short conversation between two friends. This little
piece was the result of a discussion between Siobhan and Cassia about
why it seems that Aragorn sometimes shuns the limelight in our stories
and in LOTR before the forming of the Fellowship. This is just a
little bit of our take on his character. If you have a different
view of him, that’s absolutely fine, please don’t flame us for ours.
:o)"

"Vignette. My slightly extended and appended version
of part of the Coronation scene near the end of ROTK. Decidedly Aragorn
& Legolas centric."
Fourth Age (After Elrond leaves
Middle-earth)
Cell Number Eight by Cassia & Siobhan. PG-13
Post RotK
"Legolas is taken from Ithilien by slavers and
forced to become an arena fighter. King Elessar, wrapped up in peace
negotiations with Harad, doesn't even know he's missing. In a dark and
brutal world Legolas finds one small spot of hope when he befriends a
little human slave child. But nothing is what it seems..."
Remember How to Smile by: Cassia & Siobhan. PG-13
Post RotK
"Aragorn takes Legolas to Rivendell hoping that the
warmth of friends and memories can help the prince balance the
sea-longing that's tearing him apart. While they gather with family and
friends they share stories of the past and try to figure out the
future. But can you only appreciate what you had when it's gone?"

Priceless
Treasure by Cassia & Siobhan. PG-13
(Edited, leaving in block.)
"A generation apart, two adventures become one.
"While wintering in Mirkwood, Aragorn is taken
captive by a bounty hunter with a mysterious objective, leaving
Legolas, Elrond, Elladan and Elrohir in a desperate struggle to save
the young human before it is too late.
"80 years later, Aragorn is King of Gondor, but the
shadows of the past do not lie quietly and he, Legolas and Gimli find
themselves in their own frightening quest to save Aragorn's young son
Eldarion from someone who wants to see the King dead. Past, present and
future converge in a swirling blizzard of events when Legolas makes the
ultimate sacrifice for his best friend and a father's worst nightmare
comes true... twice."

"We all know how the fellowship ends... or do we?
Legolas takes Aragorn to see the ship he and Gimli have built to leave
for the havens... but he's got a happy secret that Aragorn is about to
discover, something the King had thought impossible.
"For anyone who has ever cried their eyes out over
the way the appendixes ended the fellowship. :o) "
