It will cost me very much, O Elvenking, to lay down my pride and be satisfied in your flesh, the flesh of my enemy, and I will take every coin of that cost from your body before I am through." The sequel to Honored Guest is here at last!

Thranduil will do anything to protect his own. Even submit to Thorin's punishment for his misdeeds. AU, Thorin & his kin survive the Battle of Five Armies. Dubious consent.
