Headcanons/Imagines for Elves Responses to a Reader Suffering Sensory Overload (from a person currently suffering sensory overload DX)
Tumblr media
Elrond: Kind. Warm. Steady.
Is an actual healer so he’ll immediately remove you as safely and swiftly from the situation as possible and get you to either your room, his office, or another lockable place away from the current stressors. On the way there, he’ll keep a hand steady on your back guiding you if you can tolerate touch so you don’t have to focus.
Once you’re in the place, he’ll sit you down either close to a fire and/or with your back against something like a wall or chair and drape a thick cloth over you.
If he’s your partner, he’ll pull you into his lap (if touch is alright) and press his hands to your ears to block out all sound as you decompress in his arms. If he’s your father, he’ll rock you in his arms until you can breathe again and then he’ll make sure to have a soothing tea prepped for you.
Tumblr media
Haldir: Soothing. Bread. Family.
Let’s be honest: Haldir is gone a lot. The first overload you had was after a festival and he was gone. You had gone back to the talan you shared, shaking and wrung out, and were quickly found by his brothers, Rumil and Orophin, who was thought it odd that the minstrel would leave during the other bardic performances.
You flinched at every touch, every sound, every light, so in a fit of desperation, Orophin panic-threw the thickest blanket they had on you while Rumil stoked the fire and painstakingly got you to sip water. It helped.
Now, anytime any 4 of you are stressed or overwrought, blankets get made into a fort, water is force fed to everyone, and Haldir makes his speciality dark rye. When your chest is tight and you can’t breathe, he kneels in front of you and pulls out the warm, soft inside of the oven-fresh bread so you don’t have to hear the crunch of the crust.
Tumblr media
Arwen: Stars. Hugs. Fresh Air.
Arwen’s known you long enough to recognize the signs: the way you start to pull closer to edge and fiddle with the book you always carry, the way your hands shake or when you start to flick the tips, and the way your eyes track the exit. At a moment when the noise crests in the Halls of Fire, she catches your hand and pulls you out of the stifling heat and out into the cool night air.
Once she finds the center of the maze with the benches sat below the fragrant jasmine vines, she wraps her arms around you, holding you close and whispering soft and simple tales she learned during her time in Lothlòrien until you can reach back for her and her words turn to soft kisses and sighs instead.

New To This - Haldir X GN Reader
Tumblr media
Title: New To This
Haldir X GN Reader
Additional Characters: Lórien elves (Mentioned)
Requested by Anon!
WC: 1,420
Warnings: Awkwardness, misunderstandings, anxiety, nervousness, slight angst, orcs mentioned, LOTR canon violence mentioned, Haldir is a quiet simp, confessions, childhood friends to lovers, and fluff
You smiled when you saw the entrance to Lórien, your home. You entered the land, bringing your horse to a stop before you hopped off your steed. You found some of the march wardens that guarded the northern border of the forest. They nodded when they saw you, watching as you smiled and ran off, in search of your childhood friend, Haldir. You had been friends with him for as long as you could remember. The two of you would spend hours together at the edge of the forest when he wasn't guarding it. You loved Haldir, that's what you knew. You loved him for such a long time, but you didn't want to say anything, you didn't want to possibly lose your friendship, and lose him forever.
You walked towards him as fast as your legs could take you, calling out his name as you did. "Haldir!" You exclaimed happily as you reached his side, instantly wrapping your arms around him. 
Haldir froze, his arms hesitantly wrapping around you in return. Clearing his throat awkwardly, he spoke, "You've returned safely I presume?" 
You stepped away, letting go and stepping back a bit. "Yes, I am fine. No bruises, cuts, or scratches. I didn't even run into any orcs." You smiled triumphantly. 
"Well, that is good then." Haldir looked at you, smiling a bit. "How was your stay in Rivendell?"
"It was wonderful." You replied quickly, shrugging. "I had a lovely time."
Haldir smiled slightly, "You are not going to leave Lórien for good, are you?" He asked, not so subtly hinting to his slight fears that you would leave Lórien, and him, for Rivendell.
You shook your head, "Forever? No, Haldir, my friend. I wouldn't leave you or Lórien. The people here are my family." You rolled your eyes, "And you can not get rid of me that easily." Haldir nodded, continuing to smile slightly as you let out a sigh, "Well, I am going to head to my room for the night, I'll see you at breakfast?"
"Of course," Haldir spoke before watching you head off to your room. He sighed, watching you go, his heart pounding as he thought about how much better he felt when you were near. A small part of him wished you stayed longer, oh, how he missed you.
You had only been gone a couple of moons, but Haldir felt like you had been gone for decades. He couldn't stand it. It was driving him crazy. When you came back, he could hardly contain himself, he wanted to tell you how much you lit up his world. How he thought you were the reason the stars above shined. He wanted you to know just how much he loved you. And that he would do everything to keep you by his side. He sighed deeply, shaking his head. It was too soon for that. And you only saw him as your friend, he was sure of it. 
He could still feel your arms wrapped around him, how warm you were, and the feeling of your clothing underneath his fingertips. Haldir was usually very uncomfortable with physical touch, though with you... Well, he didn't mind. The feeling that ran through him when you hugged him was exhilarating and he felt as if he could fly. Haldir smiled to himself, remembering how your face seemed to light up upon seeing him. He didn't know how to deal with his feelings.
~~~
For the next couple of days, you'd meet with Haldir, greeting him with a hug every time. He always seemed to be a bit surprised when you did that, but it made him smile nonetheless. Every time you hugged him, he felt something inside him flutter, something new. And that made him happy. Though as his heart fluttered, you felt more and more that Haldir disliked the hugs that you gave him. He would always freeze up, seeming to tense whenever you held onto him. Haldir seemed to have a bad habit of being stiff whenever you touched him. Slowly, you stopped hugging Haldir when you greeted him, and Haldir immediately noticed. 
He was confused by your sudden change in habits, you hadn't hugged him for a few weeks now, and he wondered if he did something wrong. Did he upset you in any way? Had he said something to hurt you? Was your friendship with him ruined? Haldir was anxious and he didn't know how to handle it. But he was determined to solve this issue, to find out what was going on with you. He hoped you weren't mad at him, because he would do anything to make things right between you. 
"Y/N," He began as you stood on one of the many wooden bridges of Lórien. "Have I done anything to offend you?" He abruptly asked, making you turn your head to look at him with wide eyes.
"No, Haldir. Why do you ask?" You spoke, confused and curious as Haldir looked off into the distance.
"You... Haven't hugged me in a long time." He began, feeling his face flush as he continued, "You usually greet me in such a way, but you haven't as of recently."
You turned to look off into the distance, "Oh."
Haldir let out a small breath before he continued to speak, "I... I will admit that I have been missing your... Touch." Haldir muttered nervously out.
You raised an eyebrow, turning back to look at his side profile, "You... Do you?" You asked, sounding shocked.
Haldir nodded, "Yes, I do." He admitted sheepishly.
You frowned lightly, looking away again. "Then why do you freeze up, like you are uncomfortable?"
"I am... Just new to this. New to the feelings that I have for you."
"Feelings?" You looked back up at him, "What feelings?"
Haldir turned to face you, "I... I am in love with you." Haldir blurted out, looking away again from your gaze. The words slipped out of his mouth without thinking. His face flushed as he waited, hoping that he hadn't ruined his friendship with you. He didn't regret telling you, but he definitely regretted telling you so suddenly. He was worried that you would leave after hearing him confess.
You blinked slowly, trying to process what Haldir had told you. "Love...?" You breathed out finally. "But... You... What?"
"I have loved you for a long time since we were still learning the scrolls together." Haldir said softly, trying to ignore his racing heart and beating heart.
"Why have you never... Said anything?" You asked, not understanding.
"Because..." Haldir hesitated, "I was afraid of rejection. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you."
"Haldir, no, I am glad you told me!" You exclaimed, taking his hand in yours abruptly. "Please don't be embarrassed or scared of rejection. I am honored to hear you say these words."
"You are?" He asked anxiously, squeezing your hands tightly.
You nodded, "Positive. I love you, Haldir." Your voice was soft yet filled with excitement.
Haldir looked down to where your hand was connected, blushing heavily as he watched you intertwine your fingers with his. "I'm so relieved, Y/N." He mumbled quietly. He squeezed your hands tightly once more, smiling widely at you as his smile spread across his entire face.
You smiled brightly, laughing quietly as Haldir grinned down softly at you. Your heart was racing as you looked up at Haldir with bright eyes. This was all you ever dreamed about; a boy who loved you, and whom you were in love with. You had always dreamt of something like this happening. Now that it was actually happening, you couldn't help but burst into giggles. Haldir smiled down at you, chuckling lightly as well. You pulled your hand away from Haldir's grasp, bringing it up to cup his cheek gently before leaning up to kiss him. Haldir tensed, a blush forming on his cheeks once more. Before he relaxed, returning the kiss. You smiled against his lips, enjoying his warmth, tasting the sweetness of the wine that he always drank during meals. It was intoxicating. Haldir pulled away slightly, a grin spreading across his face. He kissed your forehead, wrapping his arm around your waist and pulling you closer to him.
"I love you, Y/N." He whispered lovingly, placing another gentle kiss on your forehead.
"I love you too, Haldir." You replied, snuggling closer to him, breathing in his scent. You closed your eyes, inhaling deeply, relishing in the feeling of his arms around you.

Hi, can you write a one shot for Haldir? He's saving reader for orck attack! I love your blog
Hello!! I'm so glad you enjoy my blog and I hope you enjoy this!
The fast thudding in your eardrums- you couldn’t decipher whether it was the sound of your feet slamming against the forest floor or if it was your heartbeat in your ears.
Mentally cursing when you stumbled over a vine, you glimpsed behind you. They were gaining on you. Three orcs with thick blades and wicked grins, chasing you through the woodland. You were out collecting berries, wanting to make you and Haldir a treat for whenever he got home, only to be ambushed.
“Calm down, (Y/n),” You could practically hear your beloved’s voice in your head and so you forced yourself to take deep breaths through your nose before bolting to the side, throwing them temporarily off your trail.
You knew these lands like the back of your hand, it was time you used this information to your advantage.
‘The training grounds aren’t too far from here,’ You noted mentally, bolting with all you had towards the area.
Soon the gates were in sight as the trees and rocks faded into a blur around you.
“Haldir!!” You screeched out, knowing the orcs were getting closer and closer-
You yelled out as an arrow impacted your shoulder, sending you flying to the ground. Gasping from pain, you told yourself to get up and keep running, but your body wouldn’t agree.
“Haldir,” You choked out, tears blurring your vision.
Orc laughter filled your ears and for a moment, you thought all hope was lost.
Until you heard a familiar call to attack signal from Haldir.
Relief filled your lungs as you rested your head back to stare at the sky.
The sounds of blades swishing as your partner flew past you to face the trio were like a peaceful melody because you knew, at this moment, you were safe from all who wished you harm. Haldir was here.

Here at home (Haldir x reader)
author's note: i never thought i'd be writing for haldir, but here we are! :D i'm so soft for this elf & cannot wait to share this softness. i'm a bit out of practice & as always: english isn't my first language, bear with me <3 gn!reader, but reader has hair that's being brushed; no other descriptions of looks
warnings: none that i'm aware of, just fluff!
word count: 1k
edit is my own :)
Tumblr media
“You know, I prefer my nights when you are here at home with me”, you whispered as you leaned back against your husband’s shins.
Haldir was sitting on your bed with a brush in his hand, carefully parting your hair while you were kneeling in front of him, your back to the elf.
“And why is that, meleth?”
After centuries of being together, you could make out the teasing tone in his question and a smile spread over your face.
“Hal”, you whined. “Don’t make me say it out loud.”
He didn’t reply – not yet, at least, but you knew he was smiling.
Carefully, he grabbed a strand of your hair and began to remove the knots from your ends, slowly working his way up until he reached the roots.
The fact that he took the time to sit down and care for a part of you that you neglected far too easily – and way too often – made your heart flutter in your chest. Goosebumps spread over your skin at his gentle actions and you shivered.
“It seems like someone still isn’t used to my displays of affection”, the marchwarden mused and you smiled yet again.
“Maybe someone isn’t home often enough for me to get used to them.”
There was no harshness in your words. You knew Haldir loved you and the time you did have together, you used wisely. Plus, you’d still have many centuries left with each other.
However, that didn’t change the fact that you were absolutely enjoying these quiet moments with your love.
And so did the elf himself. He had turned his attention to your head again and was repeating his actions until he could brush his fingers through your hair without meeting any resistance. Only then did he grab a small bottle of oil, poured a tiny amount into his hands and warmed it up before applying it to your hair.
“All done, my love”, he murmured once he was done with everything and leaned down to press a kiss to the crown of your head.
Before he could sit up again, you turned around and brought a hand to the nape of his neck, meeting his eyes.
“May I kiss you, melethron nîn?”
You had to hide your amused grin as the tips of Haldir’s ears turned pink. Softly, you let your fingertips ghost over them and giggled at the sharp inhale of your husband.
Even after so many years together, he still felt like this – you – couldn’t be real. You looked like an angel, sitting there in front of him like it was the most natural thing in middle earth, asking him of all people for a kiss.
He was convinced that he didn’t need a relationship, didn’t need to be touched and loved and cared for – until you came into his life.
Since then, he never wanted to go without any of these things ever again. He’d never deny you an act of affection, no, he was craving whatever you were willing to give him.
And right now, you wanted to kiss him, he reminded himself as he took in your flushed cheeks and big eyes. He leaned down for a kiss without even answering your question.
Haldir swallowed the sweet sigh that left your lips as he pressed his own against them and he swore to whomever was listening that he’d always return home to you. He wouldn’t – couldn’t – let you go. You were one of the few good things in his life, someone he never had to doubt. You were there and you were his and he’d spend the rest of eternity trying to make you happy.
“You think too much”, you breathed out in-between kisses and cupped his jaw, caressing his cheekbones.
“Only about you”, he answered and it was the truth.
The smile that graced your features in return would get him through his next patrol, he was sure of that.
When you woke up the next morning, Haldir was still fast asleep next to you.
It was one of his rare days off and you wanted to make sure he could soak up all the love you wanted to give him. Turning onto your side, you watched his blond hair flowing down his shoulders while the blanket was pooling around his waist.
The first rays of sun in the morning were shining down onto his bare back and you carefully lifted your fingers to gently touch the exposed skin.
He was warm, he was always warm and as on instinct, you shifted closer into his side.
Even in his sleep, your husband leaned into your touch and you smiled, leaning down to press your lips against his shoulder blade after brushing some of his hair out of the way. Slowly, you let your lips trail down his spine.
It wasn’t your goal to wake him up. It took many years, but by now, Haldir didn’t even stir anymore when it was you who touched him in his sleep. Yet, you were so in tune with one another that you immediately noticed when his breathing changed as he woke up.
“Good morning, my beloved”, you whispered which turned into a squeal as the elf was pulling you on top of him, wrapping his arms around your waist.
“I believe it is not yet time to start the day”, the marchwarden mumbled before he buried his face in the crook of your neck, brushing his lips against the junction where it met your shoulder.
“Hal, hat tickles”, you giggled at the sensation and tried to wiggle free, but that only resulted in him tightening his grip around you.
“You don’t say”, he mused and you could hear the smile in his voice.
After a while, you gave up and simply accepted the small kisses, relaxing in Haldir’s arms and melting into his touch. Being with him was easy, you realised once again, like breathing.
The two of you were basking in happiness until your husband broke the silence while his fingers were dancing up and down your back.
“You know”, he spoke in a soft voice, “I prefer my mornings when I am here at home with you.”
meleth = love
melethron nîn = my beloved

Smile
Tumblr media
A/N: the love that I have for this man is 10x as many fics as he has, so I decided to start fixing that :)
Pairing: Haldir x GN!Reader
Summary: "How can I make you smile?"
Warnings: none, this is so sweet
Word Count: 417, short and sweet
Minors DNI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laying beside Haldir in the early morning sun was a feeling you would never get tired of. The gentle warmth breezing in through the window, the firm feeling of his chest under your head, the musk he always had on him - it was truly something to behold. 
You tilted your head up to look at him. He was awake, you knew, but had his eyes closed, soaking up the feeling the same way you were. He looked peaceful like this - the worry lines on his forehead for once smooth, the seemingly permanent downturn of his lips non-existent. Oh, how you wished to turn them upwards. 
Voicing your thoughts aloud, you gently asked him, “How can I make you smile?”
He hummed, unsure if he had heard you correctly, prompting you to repeat your question. 
When he was sure that he understood, his eyes opened, turning his head down to look at you. His hand held the side of your face, thumb gently grazing across your cheekbone. 
“You do, meleth. By being with me; loving me for who I am. Where is this coming from? Am I not making you smile?” The worry seeped into his voice, lacing every word that fell from his pink lips. 
Panic filled your chest, air dispelling from your lungs in a quick exhale. “What? No! Nothing of the sort.” You reassured him. “I simply long to see you happy. I feel it has been quite long since I last had. Perhaps you need to… take some time-off from your never ending marchwarden duties. It would do you some good.”
He smiled at the thought. A few days of uninterrupted peace with you, gazing at you across the table as you had dinner together, holding you in his arms like he was now as you drifted to sleep - he could see it. And, oh did he long for it. 
Resigned, he answered, “I will speak with the Lady. Perhaps you are right, meleth. A few days wouldn’t hurt.” He told you, turning his body to yours and gently pressing your lips together, his lips turning upward into a smile so tangible you could feel it searing through your own. 
You pulled back to watch it; the elation on his face at the mere thought of being with you sending a burst of joy into your own body. 
The feeling was too much, taking over all of your senses as you pulled him back into you, not ready to let him go just yet. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tell me your thoughts! Thank you for reading :)

Fic Recs: A World in a Grain of Sand Edition.
I love epic tales in which authors slowly build up their worlds and characters. I love losing myself in works slowly outgrowing canon word count to the point of forgetting to go to bed at reasonable hours. However, I am in absolute awe of writers who manage the rare feat of conjuring the same level of immersion with just a short story or even a one shot.
This totally incomplete list of my all-time favorite short(-ish) stories is a tribute to all intrepid souls out there tackling this challenge.
If you aren't familiar with the fandoms yet I still recommend diving straight in. They can be read and enjoyed totally out of context and you might just come out the other end with a new fandom obsession 😉
„Ars Poetica“ (AO3) by Rhune
Helping out around the Devil May Cry you are perfectly content to leave center stage to the devil hunters and demons of your acquaintance. Until the day Dante returns from hell, his stand-offish brother in tow. Suddenly - and quite unnervingly - you find yourself sharing your once quiet existence in the background with none other than Vergil.
One achingly perfect installment full of poetry, searing stares and everyone’s favorite moody half demon.
Devil May Cry (post DMC5). Vergil x fem!Reader. Rated E. 16k words.
+++
„Coming up Roses“ by @eupheme
The new groundskeeper at Wayne Manor is unsure what to make of stoic, unapproachable Alfred Pennyworth. At least at first...
All the yearning and suppressed feels of a 300-page Jane Austen novel condensed into two gorgeous chapters about falling in love when you least expect it. Topped off with some seriously hot smut for good measure.
The Batman. Alfred Pennyworth x fem!Reader. Rated E. 10k words.
+++
„Posterity“ by @whats-rambled-rambled
Posterity. Tenet's operators. Always just a call away to back up your field agents while they flit back and forth through time. It's dangerous work. People die. So you don't get close. Until there's Neil.
I know, I know , 7 chapters with 31k words is putting A LOT of strain on the definition of „short stories“ but I just HAD to include this one. Reading it simply broke me. Absolutely gorgeous prose, two main characters you cannot help falling in love with and a story that keeps you guessing until the very end.
Tenet. Neil x GN!Reader. Rated M. 31k words.
Pro tip: If you are not ready for a 31k word commitment yet (fair enough!) go for „The Way Down“ instead: A hauntingly beautiful 3-parter Battinson!Bruce Wayne/GN!Reader. Rated T.
+++
"Three Weeks on the Nimrodel" by @from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras
Haldir is quiet. Stoic. Solitary. Not the easiest person to be around for three weeks of guard duty up a solitary mallorn tree. He knows that and has made his peace with it. Until a so far unfamiliar fellow marchwarden comes along.
Do you know this moment of utter bliss when you come home after an absolutely rotten day and are finally able to snuggle up with a fluffy blanket, your favorite hot beverage and your comfort book/band/movie? This fic is that exact feeling distilled into 3000 words. Add a good helping of pure love for the more obscure corners of Middle Earth and two absolutely charming, introvert main characters et voila: utter contentment for you to come back to again and again and again whenever that fluffy blanket is out of reach.
Still not an Elves person. But I might have to fess up to being a Haldir person one of these days. This gem surely is another nail in my coffin 😅
Lord of the Rings. Haldir x GN!Reader. Rated G. 3k words.
+++
„Pinky promises & glow stars“ (AO3) by @softlyspector
Steven bumps into Marc’s childhood best friend in a coffee shop and decides that he wants to get to know her better. Marc decides that's a terrible idea.
Quiet and sad and sweet and absolutely beautiful.
Moon Knight. Marc Spector x Reader. Not rated on AO3. Think M to be on the safe side with everything the Moon Knight boys have been through. 10k words.
+++
As always: a huge thank you to all creators for your time and your passion and your talent. You guys are absolutely incredible and make this world a better place!

Haldir Headcanons
pairing: Haldir x gn!Reader
summary: relationship headcanons with Haldir of Lórien. [SFW]
word count: 789
warnings: none, fluff
∾∾∘⋅∗⋄⋆⋄∗⋅∘∾∾
- He is such a chill boyfriend.
- He’s the epitome of calm like 99% of the time and it really brings stability to your relationship.
- He seems pretty serious, and he is, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be fun. His humor is definitely dry, but once you get it, you get it and you’re always cracking up because he always makes the right joke at just the right moment.
- He can be pretty quiet so a lot of your time spent together will most likely be in comfortable silence.
- I think he’d prefer to show his love via quality time and words of affirmation. While his words of affirmation may not be spoken very often, they are always heavy with sincerity and very personal to you and your relationship.
- Haldir definitely likes using pet names like “my darling” or “meleth” or “sweetheart” and he uses them quite often, even in public. He also has nicknames for you that come from inside jokes, but he usually saves those for more private company.
- Haldir just loves spending time with you, he doesn’t care so much about what you’re doing, as long as you’re together. He’s happy just sitting quietly at home, doing your own things in the same room, or going out to do an activity. So long as the two of you are together, and you’re happy, he’s happy.
- Haldir likes to see you smile. Just seeing you smile brightens his day and makes him so much happier. He likes to tell you that your smile shines brighter than all the lights in Lothlórien. When he’s coming home from patrol, he’s actually looking forward to seeing your face while you're smiling. There’s something about the light in your face when you’re grinning that makes his heart pick up its pace.
- Haldir isn’t super great at communication though. Being quiet is his nature, and that can include his feelings. It’s kind of a slow start for you in getting him to open up. It still takes effort sometimes too, he just naturally keeps things to himself. This has been a point of some arguments, but both of you dislike fighting and understand what to do to avoid such things. So fortunately, actual arguments are few and far between.
- Haldir doesn’t like PDA. He’s quite professional and private so PDA doesn’t really mix with him. He doesn’t ignore or avoid you in public, just don’t expect big displays of affection because he’s not very comfortable with that. But, if the two of you have spent a lengthy amount of time apart, he’ll hold your hand in public and maybe even give you a chaste forehead kiss because he missed you.
- Haldir is surprisingly passionate, especially after he’s been away from you for a while. His passion can appear a little different though. For example, sometimes he’ll kiss you with desperate fervor and fire, but other times he’ll kiss you slowly and deeply but still with equal passion. His heart is always present in all his actions with you
- Haldir doesn’t drink a lot, but during festivals or other celebrations he’ll sometimes indulge and when he does, all he talks about is you. Haldir will drunkenly ramble about how pretty you are, how intelligent you are, how talented you are, etc etc. Those around him will find it equal parts endearing and annoying. His pale cheeks would be dusted with pink from both alcohol and thoughts of you.
- Haldir would be super happy with getting domestic with you. He loves those simple moments; getting groceries from the market, going shopping for your individual hobbies, doing the laundry, cooking. Haldir loves to be domestic with you.
- Haldir is very attentive to your needs. He may not say it or outwardly express it, but you can tell by his actions. If you’re sad, your favorite snacks will appear out of nowhere. If you ran out of supplies for a hobby or finished a book, new supplies or a new book will show up on your nightstand without a word. Whatever it is you need, Haldir notices and quietly takes care of it. He may not always be able to do it since he’s quite busy as Marchwarden, but when he has the chance, he takes care of all your needs.
- Haldir feels like he’s always falling in love with you. There will be moments when the two of you are together and he’ll just take you in and get that sensation of falling in love all over again. He’ll never get sick of it either, it’s one the greatest joys of his day.
- Haldir loves you so much, it’s a quiet kind of love but it’s strong all the same. He does everything he can to make sure you know that everyday. One of the things he’s proudest of in his life is his relationship with you. He prays to Eru that he’ll be with you until the end of Arda, so long as you’ll have him.

A question from @wareagleofthemountain and while it’s in the same vein as the last one, out of an abundance of caution, I wanted to keep them separate due to possible ED triggers:
Given Haldir’s love of cooking, what is his favorite thing to bake?
I hc that Haldir's best and most relaxing thing to bake is bread due to the time and kneading it takes to make. I've always hc'ed it as an anomaly that, at least in Noldorin elvish society - particularly noble culture - men make the bread (this is based on the idea that women make lembas and it could easily be extended to all breads as a woman/feminine IDing craft). I personally hc that there are some societal holdovers in Lothlórien that are specifically Noldorin due to Galadriel and those who likely stayed with her, despite her marriage to Celeborn and the predominantly Sindar and Silvan population they oversee.
Haldir's baking of bread reminds him of his (now deceased outside of his brothers) family and is often seen as an extension of his love and care for those in his life.
(He has a guilty pleasure for lemon custards and creams and absolutely adores citrus season for all the lemon tarts he gets to make. They're a very hot commodity and in low-citrus years, can often be used to barter and secure favors for those who managed to snag a batch. In the Haldir x OFC universe, he started making them for her and things quickly spiraled out of control.)
...and how would he react if his partner had a bad habit of skipping meals when stressed?
I think it really depends on why his partner is skipping meals (eg do they forget or does it make them nauseous when they eat due to the stress?). In the first case, I think he'd have a tendency to bake or cook extra and make sure there are snacks around. I can see him just dropping by during their workday if he's home and dropping off lunch or swinging by their desk and putting a bowl of dried nuts or a pastry or chopped fruit by their hand. When he's not home, he'd prepare what he could in advance and request that his brothers stop by for meals as often as they can (along with any mutual friends of theirs).
In the latter, I think he'd make something simple like toast a very light soup just so his partner is getting some nutrients in their system even if they can't physically eat. He's definitely a worrier so I can see him pulling his partner into his arms and trying to help them mitigate the stress first so they could actually eat.

Then is requesting about haldir and his s/o get into a fight and he accidentally shouts he regrets courting them. They leave his training grounds in haste and only after sometime when Galadriel or someone else or himself comes to his own realization what he has done. He runs after them trying to stop the from leaving, and literally ends with him running after his s/o in the rain before they leave home to Rivendell/Mirkwood as they are sibling to Lindir/Legolas? Angst or happy ending? - 🌙
Of course, dear 🌙 anon...
Here goes:
Tumblr media
Words: 1,3k
Characters: Haldir x GN reader
Warnings: Sadness
Tumblr media
Heat was rising hot and blinding in Haldir’s chest; he loved you truly, but sometimes, you drove him utterly insane with your insistence on keeping all your secrets to yourself.
He was, of course, aware of the fact that he was not the best person to talk to – taciturn by nature and painfully awkward when it came to matters of the tender soul – but he had thought that, after so many years, the deep, unconditional devotion he showed you would account for something.
It pained him even now how your eyes flared with anger and disappointment while his tongue – dry and leaden – was stuck to the roof of his mouth uselessly; if only he had found the words to express how much he cared for you, he would have promised you every feat of arms and every gesture of protection and defence he could think of, but you never asked for anything anyhow.
At times, it felt as if you expected him to just read your thoughts and – naturally and gracefully – fulfil the wishes you had never once voiced.
Unfortunately for the both of you, he did not possess the gift of foresight or the ability to read people’s minds as his Lady did; no, he was left wondering and bumbling, and he resented his own helplessness when it came to something as primordially important to him.
“If it’s like that,” he roared, vexed and wounded by the now closed expression on your face, “and you truly don’t want to share your thoughts with me, then I must wonder why I am even courting you! I regret having let myself be caught up in such a foolish venture…”
His words were cut short by your face shattering like glass, the sloshing emotions therein contained smudging and blurring the fine lines of your features before you simply turned away and leaped off like an injured deer.
“If I can do anything right,” he finished his sentence, staring after you in wordless shock.
Tumblr media
Haldir was moping, Lady Galadriel discerned and went to investigate; he had his moody spells, but they were rare and far in-between usually, moreover, they never hit him without cause.
“What ill has befallen you, Marchwarden?” she asked softly as she sidled up to him, holding his mind in her open palms to feel the tremor the confession spilling from his lips sent through his soul.
Those were careless words, she thought with a dash of earnest regret, and a sword brought down too hotly might tear wounds deeper than intended. 
“Do you then regret courting your beloved?” 
“No,” Haldir cried out; he had reprimanded and castigated himself severely ever since you had left the clearing, “of course, I don’t. They are the light of my life, and I should not have spoken so. It’s just so frustrating to feel my way in the dark without any guiding light.”
He poured out his grievances to a gently smiling Lady Galadriel who – having been married many a century – knew only too well of the secret hurts one tried to hide from one’s spouse. 
“I hate feeling so inadequate; if only they told me what they want from me, I’d not hesitate a heartbeat to sacrifice myself for their happiness,” he swore vehemently.
“Maybe,” Lady Galadriel replied carefully, “this is all your beloved needs from you? A readiness to take care of things if they need you to? The certitude to find help when it is looked-for is succour and solace in itself!”
He was a man of action though, so he could hardly fathom how his empty words – clumsy and rough – could do any good against  the struggles the one holding his heart faced, but he didn’t question his Lady’s wisdom.
“Go find them now, Haldir,” she prompted when he didn’t move, “I feel them slipping away and – this time – brave and fearless intervention is needed.”
This was something he understood, and so he ran – his strides quick and forceful – towards the chambers he knew they resided in, only to find them deserted and their things gone.
Tumblr media
You wiped away angry tears of deep agony; what had you expected? You had known – only too well – that a man such as he, proud and fearsome, would grow weary of your antics.
Hence, you had never asked for anything; you were aware that many of the shadows darkening your soul were but illusions and – given the appropriate time to rearrange your thoughts – you generally managed to lift the veil of confused grief from your mind.
Haldir was always there though – watching, waiting, wondering – and you hated to see how much it ailed him to witness your long, silent mental absences without being able to assist you in any way. 
What so often troubled you though was not something he could smite down with his sword or pierce with an arrow, and you were afraid that – finding himself incapable of physically fighting what assailed you – his dismay might only worsen and intensify.
Never had you tried to make him unhappy or make him feel the weight of your ghostly burden and yet, he had come to regret courting you, nonetheless.
Oh, his words cut you deep; it was what you had always dreaded and now, the worst had happened, and you had lost a love so pure and blazing that your days would be gloomy and desolate forevermore.
And yet, you could not resent him for it; how could you have?
No, he had every right to withdraw his suit and his affection; you had been absent and dismissive, and he deserved better. 
Nevertheless, you kept obsessively going over his words now; why had he been so impatient about you withholding what he had no interest in? Why would that make him so angry?
“My love,” someone called and you whirled around, your meagre possessions bundled in a pack slung across your right shoulder. You had intended to go back to Imladris to be with your brother, Lindir, and heal in the warm care of Lord Elrond.
Neither one could bring back the love you had lost, but you had been almost certain that you would find some small measure of comfort in the presence of people who had never known you as anything other than miserable and morose.
Healing was what you needed.
“Where are you going?” Haldir panted, his breath gusting warm and steady across your tear-streaked face, “Are you truly leaving me – worthless, careless wretch that I am – behind?” 
You balked.
“Don’t go,” he pleaded, “I am begging you; you must know that I did not mean the words I’ve spoken in haste. Also, they did in no way translate the truth of my heart.”
He took your hands into his tenderly – letting you feel every callus and scar littering them – and looked to the ground in search of the right thing to say.
“I love you,” he started, “and I only regret having been so useless and disappointing to you.”
“You’re not,” you exclaimed in shock, “you are the kindest, gentlest, best man in the world. I…am just struggling sometimes and your stony presence doesn’t make it easier for me.”
“Tell me to smile,” he demanded, “tell me to sing and dance and I shall, my beloved! Just let me know what you need from me, and you shall have it!”
He looked so very earnest and repentant that you could no longer keep your heart from melting for his maladroit sweetness; letting go of your pack, you slung your arms around him and kissed his cheek lovingly.
“I adore you,” you whispered.
“Then don’t shut me out,” he replied in the same hushed tone, “for I cannot bear being parted from you, not even in thought.” 
“Let’s go home then,” you said, mollified, “and I shall give a tour of my silly mind.”
Tumblr media
So, I hope you liked this.
Always a pleasure to write Haldir, @sorisooyaa, maybe this could interest you too.
Lots of love from me (I'm tired and going to bed 🙈)

Omg of course you can do something with the idea if you want! I don't mind at all and the fact you liked the idea so much makes me so happy💕
And I'm also fine with being called girl in like a gender neutral way yk like the same way people say guys to refer to everyone sometimes, so no worries with that either!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW with permission then I present.......
A Failure of Words- Haldir x GN!Reader
Warnings: brief implication of past trauma, GOOFY ELF CONTENT 😌🤙🏻
Tumblr media
“What are you going to do, then, shoot it down?”
And you had laughed at that. Was it really so funny? Complaining about a cloud and his brother suggests firing an arrow at it? Haldir scoffed. Surely your giggling was only to respond politely to their inane humor.
You had been excelling in your target practice of late, your skills with a bow increasing thanks to Haldir as much as his brothers, while Rúmil and Orophin were more to thank for your progress in Elvish. Necessity, of course, as he was the only one with any skills in Common, something you had initially bonded over. Yet somehow your simple bond with his brothers seemed...different. Had Haldir himself ever made you laugh so? Had he ever tried?
"Come, now," Orophin addressed you by name, "hit three more targets and we'll show you that old painting of our beloved Haldir!"
Grinning, you took up your weapon again, stretching some exertion from your muscles before you followed the others' motions toward the next dangling piece of chipped wood. Rolling his eyes, Haldir followed.
~
Rúmil struggled several times to pick up the roll he'd dropped, and upon final success at lifting it he thrashed about as if the thing was fighting back. Again you laughed, a hand falling to the table you sat at.
"My father used to do that too- it's as if you knew! I had no idea you two were so funny. I suppose Haldir is the serious one," you teased, gaze shifting to the eldest brother.
All this time he'd thought of them as the ridiculous ones more than himself an outlier. They had not been promoted, neither had bothered to learn the common tongue, both preferred an aimless life in the trees to the ambitions of the world, protection of what they held dear. Not that they couldn't fight, but... Was Haldir himself the outcast? Heart sinking, he gazed around the table, taking in how easily conversation flowed between you and his brothers. Like the breeze. Haldir was the one who had accepted you when you first came to Lothlórien as a refugee, fought for an outsider to stay despite his usual prejudices. The torture you'd had to endure at the hands of your captors made him sick to even imagine, and fortuitously Galadriel had agreed.
He was the only one who truly knew your secrets, and so he had desired to be the first to truly make you smile again; now, it seemed, his brothers had robbed him of that, forced him back into his station as "the serious one". Worst of all, perhaps not the one who would hold your heart.
Instant it was not, but the elf had found himself falling for you more and more during his time as your guide. Watching your wonder as you were led higher and higher into the sun-soaked trees, chuckling at your confusion when you pronounced and repeated new Elvish words. Seeing you bloom like a sunflower finding its roots once more. Always had he struggled with displays of affection, and perhaps that had cost him more than time. Or else this was another challenge for the captain, a new type of battle to undertake: correcting the many times his words failed him in the face of your fair spirit.
"You might be surprised," he finally spoke, interrupting his own whirlwind of thoughts again to meet your eyes, "you are aware, after all, of how much I taught them."
Rúmil and Orophin's heads both tilted, gazing at their eldest brother with new interest. Newly widening smiles. Knowing ones. An unfortunate side effect he would deal with later. For the time being, there were more pressing matters to deal with.
"Of course I am," you replied, taking a sip from your goblet of water, "Tracking, archery... And surely they would not know so much of your history were it not for you."
"And about the beasts of the land, of course." A breeze blew through his hair as he inhaled, next line at the ready. "After all, my name is Hal-deer."
Groaning, Orophin and Rúmil both simultaneously dropped their heads into their hands, shaking them with great disapproval. Lacking fluency though they may have been, they knew enough to recognize such a play on words, and it was clear they did not like it. Too bad- it wasn't for them.
You? Bursting into laughter, you clapped your hands lightly, head thrown back in amusement that had Haldir grinning widely for the first time in likely far too long.
Still shaking their heads, both younger brothers excused themselves, Orophin practically shoving Rúmil away from the table as they scrambled off to refill their drinkware.
"Never have I heard you make a joke, Haldir! Why now? And why one so-" Words failed you, too, inquiry wholly aborted by a fresh bout of laughter. Well did it convey the rest of your question, however.
Suppressing a wince, Haldir willed his smile to return. Wait, perhaps it looked forced. Was he overthinking this? His brothers would probably say yes.
His brothers. "My brothers...they make you happy in a way I seemingly never can. Perhaps I envied them." His voice emerged as little more than a whisper, eyelids fluttering half-shut as if they could conceal him from your vision.
Your brows furrowed at this. Head giving a faint tilt of confusion, you leaned forward, forced his grey eyes to meet your gaze. "I...I confess I do see your brothers differently," you told him, your own voice shy, "I always wished to think of them like my own brothers."
Heart lightening, Haldir replied, perhaps a bit too readily, "You can."
"No," you shook your head, paused, "well..."
It was your turn to drop your gaze, your posture straightening as you gave a supplying incline of the head, clearly hoping Haldir followed.
He did. Did he? Jaw dropping slightly, he reached out a tentative hand, saw that you did not flinch. Lifting up your gaze gently by your chin, Haldir spoke again.
"That you may wish as well, for though my words have failed me again and again it is the very same in my heart. It vexed me not being the one to make you smile, to win you over, when your name had been so inscribed upon my heart. But if you'll have the serious one, he shall have you."
Your answer came in the form of a kiss that had his heart soaring, one a bit too quick for Haldir's liking, but he quite literally had all the time in the world if he wished. He could wait. For once, his words had not failed him.
"Again and again, my Hal-dear," you replied with a devilish grin.
The golden-haired elf let his own face fall into his hand at that one. "I'll not be forgetting that one anytime soon, will I?"
As fate would have it, Rúmil and Orophin designated that moment to return, whooping as they set their goblets back down, clearly having spied upon him through some curtain or another as they often had in their youth.
"Not in the slightest," they answered for you, voices perfectly synchronized.
