To Have and To Hold, by Lady Rheena (R)
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Legolas/OFC
Author on LJ: none
Author Website: Elven Dreams
Why this must be read:
Wait! Don’t leave! Don’t let the Legolas/OFC title scare you. I know the LOTR fandom is infested with Mary Sue’s, and that most of them have the hots of Legolas—this is not the case. OK, so Nessa (our OFC) does find Legolas attractive (and who wouldn’t?) but she does not make it easy for the Elven Prince to romance her.
Author’s Summary: “Set in Greenwood the Great several decades before the LOTR trilogy begins, this fic tells the tale of a sweetly annoying Elf prince and the fiery lady he unfortunately chooses to bestow his affections upon one Spring Festival. Certainly not the usual Legolas romance-type, mainly as it’s told from the point of view of the heroine, a deeply sarcastic and rather wicked she-Elf named Nessa. There are intersections with The Hobbit as well as a guest appearance from everyone’s favourite filthy ranger. Don’t bother if sarcasm is only a seven-letter word to you.”
This fic is novel-length: it also has a sequel and two interludes, in case reading it in its entirety is not enough for you. Lady Rheena offers us as an original female character that might or might not be a Mary Sue, but manages to be loveable and interesting at the same time. This is the story of Legolas and Mirkwood pre-FOTR, told through the eyes of Nessa. Give it a try: I promise you will not regret it!
