Ah, Gandalf is just too clever for everyone.
In the book both Gandalf and Legolas seem asexual, though. Stupid movie! There is slash fanfiction about the actors, you know...

About those two specifically, or actors overall?
Yes, someone told me about RPS.

I think Legolas was more glad than Gimli and Aragorn that Mithrandir came back, because he knew Olorin's true nature, and what it would mean for Gandalf to die.

Actually, I believe very few knew his true nature. I think it was pretty well limited to the Wise, one of whom a Wood-elf wannabe is certainly not.

Aragorn guessed Gandalf's true nature, after he had become Gandalf the White.
Legolas might have known who Gandalf really was also. He was a after all a Sinda.

It is true that Thranduil and his people took up the culture of the Silvan Elves, but they did not altogether forget their Sindarin lore. Legolas knew what the Balrog was. In Moria he saw that Gandalf was able to fight it, he saw that they were equal in power. If he hadn't known the nature of Gandalf before, it's more than likely he guessed then.

In the LOTR books, the Ainur are barely mentioned. When they are, they're referred to as "Powers". So I'm not sure that the Sindar would know what they were (having forsaken the journey to Aman early doors). They are still Moriquendi, after all, and certainly wouldn't have read the Silmarillion! Most of the Noldor had departed long before Legolas was born.
I think it's misleading to read too much of the simple Maiar/Valar typology into the context of LOTR. One of the whole things about them is that their respective powers are tied to their essential natures. The LOTR characters who encountered them would see their unique nature, not their "class" or "type". So, someone like Gandalf would be seen as someone who has unique powers, not as someone who's "equal to, or of the same kind as a balrog, or Sauron for that matter. cheers d. |

Uggh you guys. They are in character. Though in the book nothing really goes on between Gandalf and Legolas...I don't think. Lemme refresh my memory and get back to ya'll on that. If there were any pairings to be made then it would Aragorn and Gandalf, though I don't really think LoTR is slash.
