Chapter Text
I cant believe I am typing this but I somehow in my search for Bilbo/Thorin fan vids on you tube I stumbled onto a Thorin/Thranduil video and this one scene made this pop into my head. When Thorin is running from Erebor he looks up and exchanges a look with Thranduil.
When Thranduil first visits Erebor after the death of his wife Thorin is sitting close to the king such that he can learn his future duties. Thranduil is instantly taken by how handsome he looks, so very different from the elves at home, nothing to remind him of that which he has lost. Over the coming months he watches but does not approach the prince fearing the response from the prince and those close to him.Then at a Durins day feast Thorin gets drunk and kisses Thranduil, he had been harboring the same feelings. For some months they developed their relationship in private. Then a week or so before Smaugs attack Thranduils heart is shattered when he sees Thorin in Dale rubbing all over a Dwarf woman. He thinks Torin has been playing with him from the start and so when Smaug attacks he turns his back on Thorin and the dwarves in their time of need. What Thranduil does not know is that Thorin is also heartbroken. The wench in town had been hired by his father to drug him then rape him in the hopes of her becoming pregnant as he had become aware that Thorin was gay and therefore not likely to produce an heir. He does not know Thranduil had seen this interaction and cannot understand why Thranduil has abandoned him and his people in their time of need.
After many years apart Thranduils betrayal is a deep and festering wound upon Thorins heart leaving him cold aggressive and hating all elves. Thranduil also feels the same about dwarves due to the incident. When Thorin is brought before King Thranduil he sees red and does not look closely enough to relise they both harbor the same feelings of betrayal. Thranduil in a fit of rage shows the scars on his soul hoping to get Thorin to confess the game he was playing all those years ago when he gets no reply he thinks it is confirmation there was no true love between them.
When Thranduil arrives with his army he has decided that if he cannot have the dwarf he loves then that same dwarf cannot have the home he loves more than him back. So blinded by this thought he does not recognize the signs of dragon fever. When the orcs attack Tranduil tracks Thorin and when he heads of to face Azog he follows discreetly. Only he has any right to kill Thorin Oakensheild. Just as Azogs blade begins to pierce Thorins chest Thranduil jumps in and slices the beasts head from his body. As both lay there recovering their energy after the long battle Thorin gains the courage and strength to ask why Thranduil turned his back on their relationship. As soon as the words pass his lips Thranduil lets slip a bellow of rage and surges up to place his hands around Throrins neck "me turn my back! What about you and your dwarven slut, was she a part of your game, did you plan this with her." Thorin is shocked "what dwarven slut, you were and still are the only one I have ever had relations with." Thranduil shakes Thorin grip still tight on his throat "Don't lie to me I saw you in Dale pawing all over her." with this Thorin stops resisting and begins to sob. " You saw that, no one was supposed to see that, my father only wanted to ensure the continuation of our bloodline ." Thranduil is confused, " What the hell has your father got to do with this." Thorin breaks down and begins to cry "Everything it would seem. That night you saw me in town he had ..had paid the slut to get herself pregnant with my child no matter what" Thorins anger flees him and they collapse together sobbing. Grief at what they have lost consuming them.

So what do you think? The good the bad and the ugly let me know. If you want to expand on this idea let me know. I find my writing skills are not always the best.
