An ill-fated rescue mission leaves a wounded Legolas in the hands of the enemy. Time is running out: can Aragorn save his best friend in his hour of need, or will the Prince of Mirkwood fall? Friendship and lots of angst - not a slash fic :)

First Legolas was captured, but Aragorn couldn’t remain behind. Both are eventually seized and tormented, blindsided by an unthinkable treachery, and doing their best to stave off death and not crack under the abuse. But things get even more complicated..
