Do we have to?
Officially, it's titled "legolas." But this legendary badfic has become inextricably linked with its author in the minds of the [[The Lord of the Rings]] fandom, with good reason, and it is now generally known as "legolas by laura", complete with lack of capitalisation.
The story can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20120615115007/http://www.freewebs.com/me_gaya/legolas.html here], courtesy of the [[Protectors of the Plot Continuum]]. All The Tropes will take no responsibility for brain damage suffered should you choose to read it.<ref>

Compare with ''[[My Immortal]]'' and ''[[My Inner Life]]''.

Line 45 ⟶ 29:
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: So much. For starters, Legolas doesn't have a castle. He and his father King Thranduil live in a ''fortified cave'', in the Mountains of Mirkwood.
* [[Dramatic Reading]]: Lots of them. It's really short, so can usually fit in a single [[YouTube]] video.

* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy|The Gards Must be Crazy]]: They completely fail to stop laura from being kidnapped, and barely even react to it
Line 72 ⟶ 56:
'''Laura:''' how did you know that
'''Legolas:''' when I was your age they did the same thing to me }}
** This fic being... this fic, it's [[
* [[Wife Husbandry]]
* [[You Fail Geography Forever]]: Mirkwood is ''not'' five minutes' walk away from Mordor, and Rivendell is on the ''opposite'' side of Mirkwood behind a mountain range. Then again, as far as we know, "Mondor" might be quite close to "Milkwood".
