 Sunlight
 Author: Trinity Helix
 Pairing: Haldir/Legolas

 Pairing: Haldir/Legolas
 Rating : G, fluff
 Comments: Pre-Slash, the continuation of Sunlight, which occurs around thirty years after.

==Recommendations==
the best of the best, the creme de la creme-- everything you wanted and so much more..
 Arrogant Assumption
 Author: Cheyenne Dancer
 Pairing: Haldir/Glorfindel
 Rating : NC-17, PWP (plot? what plot?)
 Comments: Quite possibly the best PWP concerning Haldir that I have *EVER* read. Sparks sizzle, spark, and leap in this one, and you really, really, REALLY shouldn't miss this one. Good grief... *fans self*.
 Blood, Moon, and Mithril : one / two / three
 Author: Camilla
 Pairing: Haldir/Legolas (a bit of Aragorn)
 Rating : NC-17
 Comments: One of the best Legolas/Haldir stories I've ever read. Camilla writes Haldir/Legolas the way I always thought they should be written... Definitely a must-read. (Please note that she manages to be true to the original series (Helm's Deep *does* happen), and that there *is* a happy ending.)
 Captains All
 (linked off-site at Emma's request)
 Author: Emma Keigh
 Pairing: Haldir/Faramir
 Rating : NC-17
 Comments: (Written for the Alliance of Men and Elves challenge.) This piece is simply lovely in that it makes the pairing seem entirely believable. Their coupling is both less and more than a mere dalliance, and while there is true feeling involved, there are no illusions as to the romantic nature of the situation. Definitely a must-read. :D
 Falling Silver
 Author: Noxy
 Pairing: Haldir/Legolas
 Rating : R
 Comments: Cool! The very first non-NC17 on the whole archive! :) Years before the fellowship arrives in Lorien, Legolas and Haldir meet. I won't say anymore, but this is a sweet fic that will definitely leave you smiling. :)
 Haldir in Love
 Author: TxQueen
 Pairing: Haldir/OC Female
 Rating : R (for non-graphic heterosexual intercourse)
 Comments: Believable, well-written, and grammatically sound. Haldir's unrequited love for the Lady of the Wood is splendidly subtle, and the new character introduced moves seemlessly into the plot. Haldir is wounded as he guards Lothlorien's borders, and a young woman nurses him to health.
 Hospitality
 Author: Halrloprillalar
 Pairing: Haldir/Legolas/Celeborn
 Rating : NC-17 (non-graphic non-consensual situations)
 Comments: One of the most interesting H/Ls I've read in quite a while. I don't want to give away too much of the story, but Hospitality is a perfect example of everything a Hurt/Comfort fic should be. Worship Hal. :)
 Lack of a Lady
 Author: Gedia Kacela
 Pairing: Haldir/Elrond
 Rating : PG (for suggestive situations)
 Comments: A gorgeous, snippy fic with Arrogant! Haldir. Featuring excellent prose and conversation to die for, this fic is a must-read for any Elrond/Haldir lover. Also a true testament to the fact that you don't need NC-17 to make a steamy fic. ;)
 Lay of Luthien
 Author: Gedia Kacela
 Pairing: Haldir/Arwen (but not really)
 Rating : G, heterosexual content
 Comments: Another beautifully written piece by the lovely Gedia. This piece tackles a friendship between the two elves, focusing on brief moments as they grow up, (or at least older). Everything manages to be in complete canon all the while, and for that reason alone it deserves a spot on any archive. :) Short and sweet and sad... without a doubt one of the best fics I have ever read.
 Sunset
 Author: Khylea
 Pairing: Haldir/Legolas (kind of...)
 Rating : G (nothing at all) :)
 Comments: A beautiful, sad ficlet based on the events of Helm's Deep. Legolas visits the grave of his old friend. Aragorn accompanies him.
 The Last Homely Host
 (linked off-site at Deanna's request)
 Author: Deanna
 Pairing: Haldir/Elrond
 Rating : NC-17
 Comments: (Written as a story swap for my Boromir/Faramir story, "Heart".) A lovely tale in which Haldir journeys to Rivendell at Celeborn's request. Very sweet, *very* fluffy... just the way I like it! :D
 The Long Walk to Caras Galadhon
 Author: Angie Saxton
 Pairing: Haldir/Legolas
 Rating : R
 Comments: A sweet, snippy shortfic that definitely holds its place in this archive. Legolas and Haldir talk on the way to, you guessed it, Caras Galadhon.
 The Unspoken Saga (separate page)
 Author: Runedancer
 Pairing: Elrond/Haldir, Elrond/Erestor, Elrond/Celeborn, Elrohir/Glorfindel, Haldir/Gildor, and some other pairings I might've missed.
 Rating : NC-17
 Comments: Gorgeous bit of work. It is funny in all the right places, and is one of the most refreshing pieces of work I've ever read. :D (The pairings may seem a bit strange, but it all makes marvelous sense when you read it-- and the great part is that the sex adds flavor to the story instead of being the entire point of it.) Haldir may not be the star, but he is still one of the main characters and that's plenty good enough for me. :)
 Wild Hunt
 Author: Cheyenne Dancer
 Pairing: Haldir/Elrond
 Rating : NC-17
 Comments: I thought my search for this pairing had been in vain, but I was extremely surprised to find this little gem buried in the Melethryn archive. :D Like all fics on this page, it should *NOT* be missed. Delightfully refreshing, and while the author does not stray from Tolkien's old-fashioned verse, she manages to inject much humor into it. Bordering on PWP, but not quite... :D
 Whispers in the Water
 (linked off-site at Deanna's request)
 Author: Deanna
 Pairing: Haldir/Legolas
 Rating : NC-17
 Comments: A gorgeous, sweet, Haldir/Legolas in Lorien. Has the potential to start off a *beautiful* series, but is also amazing on its own. *sighs* This is what *all* H/L should be... :D
 White Magick
 (linked off-site at Deanna's request)
 Author: Deanna
 Pairing: Haldir/Eomer
 Rating : NC-17
 Comments: Basically PWP, but SO well-written it's bordering on unreal. :) Lovely Eomer strays into the Golden Wood, Haldir finds him. What's an elf to do? ;)
 Unbecoming An Elf
 Author: Tricia
 Pairing: Haldir/Legolas, Legolas/Aragorn
 Rating : NC-17
 Comments: This is a classic. Haldir coerces Legolas into sex (but not really), knowing full well that he is in a relationship with Aragorn. I dislike this arrogant bastard version of Haldir, but the story is again, extremely well-written and I couldn't resist. Haldir is definitely the arsehole in this one. :)
