Rating: Not sure how to rate these, but I'll say 13 - there may be some torture etc later, but I'm not sure...

Spoilers: None I think...

Disclaimer: You know this bit! I don't own Tolkien, Middle Earth or any of his characters (Including Aragorn/Legolas - although I wish I did!) I make no profit from any of this, so don't bother suing - you'll no get anything cos I've got nothing to give! And I don't mean to copy anyone else, so sorry if I do!

Plot: Legolas had an identical twin. They thought he was dead...he wasn't. Now he's back. And he's evil... Takes place when Aragorn is about 25ish... well before FOTR.
