Legolas is frequently reimagined in fanfiction. His archery skills could be enhanced in different ways or his relationship with his father could be explored more deeply. Gandalf also gets a lot of reimaginings. Some might write about his time before coming to Middle - earth in more detail. And then there's Sauron. In some fanfictions, he has a more complex backstory or motives other than just pure evil.
Gandalf is surely popular. Writers might expand on his mysterious past and his great power. He can be a central figure in many fanfictions, guiding the story in different ways. Also, Frodo is popular. Fanfiction could focus on his internal struggles with the ring in more depth, or what his life could have been like if he hadn't been chosen as the ring - bearer.
Blake could be a bit of an enigma in Middle - earth. She might have some similarities to the Rangers, as she is used to being on her own and is very stealthy. Her faunus heritage could also add an interesting dynamic, as she could have some unique abilities that are different from the normal races in Middle - earth. Yang, with her strength and courage, would be a great addition to any battle. She could be like a female version of Gimli, always ready for a fight and not afraid to take on powerful enemies.
In 'Harry Potter Lord of the Rings' fanfiction, Harry Potter himself is often a popular character. He has a strong personality and his own set of powers, which can create interesting interactions in a crossover. Frodo is also popular as he is the central character in 'Lord of the Rings'. His journey with the One Ring can be intertwined with the events in 'Harry Potter'. And Hermione is well - liked too. Her intelligence can be used in different ways when combined with the elements of 'Lord of the Rings' like helping to decipher ancient texts.
Gandalf would also be a crucial character. His wisdom and magic could either be a threat or an asset to Vlad. If Vlad is seen as a potential danger, Gandalf would try to keep him in check. But if Vlad decides to side with the good, Gandalf could use his knowledge to help Vlad better understand Middle - earth and its ways. Another main character could be Legolas. His archery skills and elven grace would add an interesting dynamic to the group, especially when dealing with Vlad's otherworldly powers.
One great 'Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones Fanfiction' is 'The Convergence of Westeros and Middle - earth'. It combines the magic systems of both in an interesting way, like how the One Ring could interact with the magic in Westeros.
One great Legolas story could be 'The Greenleaf's Quest'. It delves deep into Legolas' relationship with nature and his skills as an archer. Another is 'Legolas and the Lost Fellowship' which shows his loyalty and how he copes when separated from his comrades. And 'Legolas: The Elven Prince' gives a detailed account of his upbringing and his place in the elven hierarchy.
One way is to find reliable fanfiction websites. For example, Archive of Our Own has a large collection. Just search for 'Lord of the Rings' in the search bar, and you can start exploring. Another option is to join fan communities on social media platforms like Reddit. There are often discussions about great fanfiction pieces and where to find them for watching.
A really cool 'Lord of the Rings' crossover fanfiction is when it crosses with the DC Universe. Superman or Wonder Woman in Middle - earth would be quite a sight. They could use their powers to fight the forces of Sauron. This kind of crossover often explores how the extraordinary powers from the DC side would impact the more medieval - style world of 'Lord of the Rings'.
There's also 'Back to the Ring: A Time Travel Adventure'. This story follows a group of adventurers who accidentally travel back in time to Middle - earth. They have to figure out how to get back while also getting involved in the events of the Lord of the Rings. It has a lot of action and the interactions between the time - traveling characters and the original ones are quite humorous at times.
I really like the fanfic 'A Song of Rings'. In this story, the One Ring somehow finds its way to Westeros. The author does an amazing job of integrating the different lore. For example, how the power of the ring affects the power - hungry characters in 'Game of Thrones' is fascinating. It also shows how the characters from Middle - earth would react to the more brutal world of Westeros.
