Thranduil can be developed by showing his vulnerability. With the OC being pregnant, he might worry about losing her or the unborn child. This could make him more relatable. For example, he might show a side of himself that is less regal and more human - like in his concerns. Another way is through his interactions with the OC. He could be more affectionate, like gently touching her belly and sharing his hopes for the future with her.
The theme of self - discovery is also prevalent. The OC, being in a new and magical world, often has to learn about their own strengths and weaknesses. In a story where an OC is a human in Thranduil's realm, they might discover a new side of themselves as they interact with the elves and face the challenges of the elven world.
One common theme is adventure. OCs often embark on quests or face challenges in Thranduil's realm. For example, they might go on a journey to find a lost elven artifact.
One common theme is the 'outsider' aspect. Since the OC is not part of the original lore, they are often an outsider coming into Thranduil's world, like a human or an elf from a different region. Another is the theme of discovery. The OC and Thranduil discover each other's personalities, secrets, and values as their relationship progresses.
There's also 'Thranduil and the Lost Soul'. In this fanfiction, an OC who is a lost soul finds their way into Thranduil's domain. The story delves deep into the lore of the elves and how Thranduil deals with this unexpected visitor. It's a great read if you like stories that explore different cultures within Middle - earth.
Well, start with a great setting. Since it's about Thranduil, the Elvenkingdom is a perfect backdrop. Describe it vividly to set the mood. For the OC, make sure they have a believable reason to be in Thranduil's world. In terms of the romance, use dialogue effectively. Their conversations should reveal their growing feelings. Don't rush it. Maybe have them start as acquaintances, then friends, and slowly let the romantic tension build. And don't forget about the other characters in Thranduil's court. They can either support or oppose the relationship, which adds more drama to the story.
One common trope is the 'forbidden love' angle. Since Thranduil is a king, there could be rules or social hierarchies that make a relationship with an OC difficult. Another is the 'outsider' trope, where the OC is not an Elf and has to navigate the Elven world while falling for Thranduil. The 'saving each other' trope is also popular. Maybe the OC saves Thranduil from a dangerous situation, or vice versa, which then sparks the romance. And there's often the 'slow - burn' romance, where their feelings develop gradually over time.
Sure. There are numerous fanfictions that focus on different aspects such as the OC being a healer who tends to Thranduil's wounded soldiers. Or the OC could be an artist who is inspired by Thranduil's beauty and creates works of art, and the story revolves around their interactions, creativity, and the cultural exchange between them, all without any sexual undertones.
Compassion is an important quality as well. An OC with a big heart can show Thranduil a different perspective on things. For instance, when it comes to dealing with the less fortunate in the elven society or showing mercy to captured enemies. This can create an interesting dynamic in the fanfiction as Thranduil might be initially more stoic and the OC can soften his edges.
One great Elvenking Thranduil OC fanfiction is 'The Lost Heir of Mirkwood'. It has a well - developed original character who becomes intertwined with Thranduil's court. The story is full of adventure and mystery as the OC tries to prove their worth in the elven realm.
