Legolas and Thranduil watched as the Dark Aster disappeared into the sky.
"Well, this past month was quite enjoyable," the younger commented.
Thranduil smiled.
"I'm glad the two of you were able to make amends."
"As am I."
"Do you think he will return?"
"He said he hoped to."
Legolas was quiet for a moment. "I've been thinking."
"Never a good sign."
"You're much more comfortable with… well, yourself, so in the long-upheld traditions of the Sindar Elves-"
"Not this again…."
"You need a new name! I was thinking Luinrandir."
"I have enough names, thank you." Thranduil raised an eyebrow. "And for the love of Elbereth, 'the blue wanderer'?"
Legolas grinned. "I was more thinking 'the blue roamer', but yes. And you only have five names, Ada, not counting Ron-Marr among them. 'Thranduil Celebmir Orodlos Lasdaer Oropherion'. What's the harm in having one more?"
Thranduil rolled his eyes. "Come, Legolas, Elrond is waiting for me. I have orcs to kill." He shepherded his son back to the forest, then paused at the treeline and brought his thumb and first two fingers to his temple in the Kree salute.

In the privacy of his quarters, Ronan returned the salute, before turning off the monitor. He had just settled into his meditation when an urgent rapping sounded on his door. "What is it now, Kothar?"
"We have been ordered back to the Kree homeworld. The emperor has signed a peace treaty with Nova Prime. Do we obey?"
Ronan snarled and lashed out at a nearby vase, shattering it.
"Master?"
"Set course for Sanctuary. Let us see if the Mad Titan is in a bargaining mood."

Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel or Tolkien, though the ideas for the Kree traditions are largely my own ideas. The breakdown of Ronan into Ron-An came from Captain Mar-Vell being Captain Marvel. The tradition of Sindar having multiple names is purely Tolkien. The Kree naming tradition and the war history was my own invention, as well as Thranduil's three epesse, and the Kree salute.
For those of you who were wondering, this story takes place (on Middle-Earth) in a mashup of the events in T.A. 1050 and 2460.
