Lord of the Rings...man just thinking about that
fandom brings good and bad memories of crazy people
ranting over the use of certain Elvish, how Hobbits
doing it is just wrong, and what size an Orc really
is. lol Man great times indeed! And from that some
of the best fics have come out. These are fics that
*I* feel should be remembered.
Aduial Peredhel's Fics: Aduial has been a very
good friend of mine for years now. She has a
habit of producing incredibly detailed fics that
draw you in easily! She's also just a hoot to be
around! She's got an original fic called
'Endless' that, if you love angels and demons
getting it on through reincarnation, this is one to
have!
'The Flower and the Fountain' series -> ongoing series by Aduial Peredhel.
Starting from Aman, Ecthelion and Glorfindel become fast friends, then lovers
until death parts them. Ecthelion/Glorfindel, Rog/Egalmoth PG to NC-17.
Absolutely astounding. READ!
'Shattered Light'
->another fic by Aduial Peredhel. Is unfinished, but help me 'encourage' her
to post more!! *laughs* When Celebrian sails West after her assault by
the Orcs, Thranduil pays Elrond a visit in Imladris to pay his condolences. Old
memories and emotions resurface as relationships, new and old, are forged.
NC-17, Thranduil/Elrond,
Elladan/Legolas, Orophin/Elrohir, Lindir/Rumil,
Glorfindel/Ecthelion and possibly Gil-galad/Elrond. You can
find the rest of the fic on her
website
'Wanderlust'
-> and yet another ongoing fic series by Aduial Peredhel!
Gildor is
visiting Imladris in order to allow him and his Wandering Company some time for
rest from their endless journeying. Over the years, he meets and comes to know
the young Anárion quite well; their relationship goes from that of mentor and
pupil to friends, and then eventually into lovers. NC-17,
Gildor/Figwit (Anárion), Lindir/Rúmil
Eresse's fics: Eresse is an author who is not only an extraordinary writer,
but also a phenomenal person! I blame her (somewhat) for getting me hooked
on Elrohir/Legolas and keeping me hooked! She also has
an LJ where
she's been mostly posting her fics recently. So if you want to keep up to date,
that's the best place!
'Greenleaf and Imladris' series -> Fic series by Eresse. Starting from
the beginning, Elrohir and Legolas always a firm and loving regard for the
other. But Legolas' denials of such love between males brings more harm than
good. Through all they go through, will their unparalleled love withstand the
tests of their souls? PG-> NC-17 mpreg at the end chapter. Elrohir/Legolas,
Elladan/OFC, Glorfindel/Erestor and other pairings. Absolutely breath taking and
a must read at all times!
'Twilight Tales Anthology'
-> Another epic series by Eresse. When the
paths of an Elvenlord and a Prince of Men cross, not only their lives are
changed but their destinies as well. Elladan/Imrahil, Legolas/Elrohir. NC-17
'Sons of Elrond' series -> This is an ongoing
series of shorts dealing with the twins based on the
fanfic100 challenge! Pairings are Legolas/Elrohir
and Glorfindel/Elladan plus various others!
'An Ounce of Kindness' series -> One never knows
where an act of kindness will lead you. When
visiting Imladris, Legolas becomes friends with
Elrohir and that leads to so much more. It's such a
good story!
'Chance Met' and 'The Captain's Guerdon' series
-> In 'Chance Met' Legolas and Elrohir meet and
change their fates and hearts. In 'The Captain's
Guerdon' we're shown the relationship between
Glorfindel and Elladan that was briefly shown in
'Chance Met'.
'Sacred Bond' series and
'Hallowed Fate' series -> The first deals with
the bond between Legolas and Elrohir started from
birth and the second deals with the relationship
when a Prince of Elves meets with a Prince of Men. A
very touching series for sure ^^
'Stolen Moments' series -> A really cute short
series that involves some mpreg. Erestor is
neglecting Glorfindel after they become parents and
he seeks to make up for it ^___^
'Sweetness and
Gall',
'Read
To Me',
'While
You Sleep',
'Secondhand
Happiness' -> fic series by Maggie Honeybite. An incredibly
touching series where Elrond falls in love with Melpomaen and Erestor and
Glorfindel expand on their relationship. Through all the hardships and turmoil,
will they find happiness? Elrond/Melpomaen, Erestor/Glorfindel, hinted
Elrond/Celebrian, Gildor/Erestor.
Gloromeien's fics: Gloromeien is, like Eresse,
one of those who hooked me on a pairing and kept me
chained there! She is a wonderful author and friend
and I literally squee whenever I see a post of hers!
She also has
an LJ where she has been posting her recent
stuff.
'In Earëndil's
Light' series -> Absolutely stunning
series that tells an incredible tale. Starting at birth, Elladan has had a
special connection with Glorfindel. Meanwhile, later on, Legolas and
Elrohir share a similar bond. Leading into Aman after perils, changes, and
betrayals, will their love and the love their children share survive what is
foretold? NC-17, Elladan/Glorfindel, Legolas/Elrohir, others present.
'In Earëndil's
Light',
'Under
the Elen',
'Of
Elbereth's Bounty',
'Further Tales of Elbereth's Bounty'
'Idylls of a King Forlorn' -> A messenger brings
bad news to King Elessar and his guards,
particularly a certain golden haired archer. I
really loved this fic cuz I think it was the second
fic I ever read in LOTR. LOL oh my I just dated
myself...
Quietude series: This is a very touching and
interesting tale where Erestor is maimed and finds a
new way to live as well as new love. 'Quietude'
tells that story,
'Requience' is the Elrohir/Legolas story
occurring behind Quietude, and
'Darkest Day' is a little side story.
'Songs of Fate and the Forsaken' series: This is
one of Gloromeien's most recent series that
definitely kept you on the edge of your seats! She
starts you off in
'Song of Fate and the Forsaken' with the twins
of Imladris dealing with love, then we bop over to
'A Paean to Destiny' and
'Of Dreams and Discord' to deal with a few of
her OCs that are introduced and loved!
'The Scepter and the Serpent': A turn from her
usual pairings, she brings us into Ecthelion and
Glorfindel's world and makes us beg for more! HAHA
anyways, awesomely cute story!
'A Slaying in Scarlet': On the eve of Aragorn’s
coronation, our golden pair are charged with
investigating a brutal murder at the Citadel. A
great read of Legolas/Elrohir!
Morgana's
Fics: Morgana is one of my dearest friends. She is kind, no-nonsense and
incredibly talented. She also has WAY too many fics to list, so this seriously
is a short list of my faves by her! And while you're at it, check out her other
stuff cuz they are so good!
'Switch' -> An incredibly hilarious and touching fic by dear Lady
Morgana. Lórien decides that he has had enough of this one Elf who doesn’t dare
admit his attraction to the Lord of Imladris, and chaos ensues. PG-13 -> NC-17
Glorfindel/Legolas, Glorfindel/Elrond, Erestor/Legolas, Erestor/Elrond
'Heart In Chains'
-> One of the most heartbreaking, at the edge of your seat, nail biting fics I
have ever read!! By Morgana. Who is Erestor and what happened to him in his long
life? What caused him to save Elrond's life when the High-King died, leaving his
lover alone and hurting? Mpreg, very cruel Galadriel, NC-17.
Haldir/Glorfindel, Haldir/Erestor, Erestor/Elrond, Orophin/Celeborn
'Flight' and its sequel
'Dinîf en Qualen'
-> Another epic by Morgana! Learn Erestor's background and what made him turn to
Imladris when he was only a youngster. Erestor and Glorfindel are sent to
Lothlorien to assist Celeborn now that Galadriel is sailing for Valinor. On
their way from 'Lorien, they are surprised by a violent storm in which
Glorfindel is injured. It is now up to Erestor to take them into safety and
Glorfindel sees beneath the face of neutrality Erestor usually wears. NC-17
Erestor/Glorfindel, Elrond/Thranduil, Elrohir/Legolas. One of the first I read
of hers and it is still spell binding and heart wrenching to this day.
'Glorfindel's Darkest
Hour' -> Another incredible fic by Morgana! Saruman plans to breed a
new, even stronger race of Uruk-Hai and wants Glorfindel, the Balrog Slayer for
this experiment. When Glorfindel is taken by the Wizard's creatures, Erestor is
determined to rescue his friend. NC-17 rape and mpreg. Glorfindel/Elrond,
Glorfindel/Erestor, Elrond/Haldir, Saruman/Glorfindel, Lurtz/Glorfindel
'Folly of
Starlight' -> Probably the FIRST EVER fic I read in LOTR and it was
written by the indomitable AC. Ongoing (help me prod her, people!) it is an
incredibly spell binding epic that starts with a bittersweet joining of Elrond
with Erenion before death separates them. Then, allowing for fate, Elrond
marries Celebrian. After she leaves, fate plays her hand once more and brings in
a fair haired Elf Prince, Legolas, and the joining is instantaneous. Side
stories include a heart wrenching plotline involving Glorfindel and Elrohir.
NC-17, Erenion/Elrond, Elrond/Legolas, Glorfindel/Elrohir, Elrond/Celebrian.
'Coranar' Series:
The Cleft
in the Curve,
A
Good Thing,
Shooting Stars,
Days of Harvest and Pain,
The Abyss,
A Perfect Day,
Winter
Joinings,
Gifts from
the South,
Rings
of Power,
Distant Evenings,
Friends and
Lovers, and
Fiery Circles
-> An excellent series that gives an interesting look into life in Imladris by
The Tired Scribe. While I wish it would get betaed, it is an extremely
provocative and fulfilling piece of fiction. PG-13 -> NC-17, Elrond/lots of
people, Erenion/Elrond.
Laurelin's Fics: Laurelin played to my Haldir/Legolas
desire and keeps on doing that with everything she
writes. She surprised me though with a het fic that
I seriously can't get enough of!! haha anyways, love
her!
'Pilgrim of the Stars' series:
'The Weeping
of the Trees',
'Wish Upon The
Stars',
'Where the Roads Go',
'The Wanderers
We Are', and the companion side story
'In the Making' ->An arc by Laurelin. Starting from before Legolas'
majority and continuing on through the 'Lord of the Rings' series, we are given
a view of a heartbreakingly real trial of growth, love, and dedication as we
watch Legolas and Haldir learn from the other and join one another in passion
and a bond that forsakes all other trials. *sighs* In one word 'WOW'. *grins*
PG-13 ->NC-17. Legolas/Haldir, Elladan/Elrohir side pairing, Thranduil/OMC.
'Growing Pains'
-> A Het ongoing fic by Laurelin. Filanna is not at all happy when she has
to leave her beloved Mirkwood and visit Lothlórien with her father and brother,
but she soon realizes that her meeting with the Galadhrim will have a greater
impact on her life than she had bargained for. Absolutely touching in how she
makes the girl strive to be herself, and yet so clueless! I love it!! PG-13 ->R
so far, but knowing Laurelin, it will go naughty! AND HOPEFULLY SOON!! *laughs*
Haldir/OFC
'A River's Tale' -> Summary: It is the year 13 of
the Fourth Age. Legolas is well settled in Ithilien,
but the sad secret he has carried with him for years
is taking its toll, and when King Elessar arrives to
attend the festival hosted by Legolas's home town,
things take a dramatic turn for the worse. Haldir
reaches out in an attempt to help his friend
overcome the haunting memories of his past. Will he
succeed? Rating: NC-17. Pairings:
Legolas/Aragorn, Legolas/Haldir,
Legolas/OC, Legolas/Haldir/Aragorn. Aragorn/Arwen
and Elladan/Elrohir/Glorfindel implied. This story
caught me for a dozen reasons and kept me because it
was very well written. While the darling author
thinks that it sucks, I feel it was very well done.
She went about the issue of near rape and the
feelings behind both Legolas and Aragorn in regards
to their relationship and how the relationship
between Haldir and Legolas went slowly in instead of
just JUMP AND WHEE was well done.
'Whispers on the Wind'
