Disclaimer: This is for fun! Don't hurt me!
Warning: slash, paganism, elves + revelry = sex and angst
Author's Note: This just randomly came to me... the basis for the events comes from celtic and nordic pagan traditions (such as the may-pole, ash branches, balefires/buiiken, etc)
"Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself...
I have known this much longer than I've known you"

There is Magic All Around You
Prologue
by Gilly-bean
Imladris had always held the finest Aldalemnar (midyear week) festivals and nearly all the elves in Middle Earth journeyed to the elven haven to participate. The revelries, it was said, were unmatched and this was to be the first time Prince Legolas of Mirkwood was getting to join in the fun. Long had the prince heard his brothers talk of the splendor of Lord Elrond's Midyear festivals, but never before had his father even considered allowing his youngest son to leave his home at Midyear to frolic in the debauchery that was sure to occur. But no longer.
No longer could Thranduil, King of Mirkwood, in good conscience hold his youngest and most precious son away from the magic that was Midyear at Imladris. For magic was what it was, as Thranduil himself had known it on several occasions over the course of his years. He distinctly remembered enjoying a couple of elf-maidens and the occasional and quite unforgettable times he spent in the arms of the Lord of Imladris and his lover, the Lord Glorfindel.
So it was that Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, called the Golden Prince of Elves and the Morning Star by some, road into Imladris the week before Midyear not knowing that the next few weeks would change his life forever.
