Summary: Without a word Haldir makes his check on the north border as every day when he finds an unconscious, young, male Elf. He decides to take the Elf home with him and not to a doctor, because he (the elf) doesn't seem to be wounded. But when he wants to wash the blond (who lay in the mud on the ground), he finds out that the young one has been raped and is (logically) fading. But even before the Elf wakes up Haldir has a dream and comes to know that his new charge is the Prince of Mirkwood - Legolas, the youngest child of King Thranduil. But Legolas refuses to speak (a single word) and Haldir has a bad feeling to send him home. So he keeps Legolas a secret and only his brothers, Orophin (married, two children) and Rúmil (has a new lover every month), know about the Prince. Everything is 'fine' (Legolas is not fading, he builds a relationship with Haldir and seems quite happy) until Galadriel, who saw the happenings in her mirror, tells Haldir that Thranduil wants his heir back (Legolas elder brother died trough an Orc-attack) and the King obviously knows where Legolas is. On the other side: Thranduil knows that Legolas was raped by HIS OWN INSANE BROTHER and wanted to keep the family name upright. So he brought Legolas to Lothlorien and watched Haldir when he took Legolas with him. But after his heir's death he regrets his actions and wants his son back. The Problem: Legolas refuses to speak - even when Haldir moves to Mirkwood and Thranduil gives his son a warm welcome... (Thranduil is a caring, but a bit old-fashioned father in this story, he accepts Haldir as his son's lover though) After a while Legolas (as a Sindarin Elf of the Royal family possible) gets pregnant and marries Haldir. When they say their vows in the ceremony Legolas starts to speak again (a little at the beginning) and when his beautiful son (Elarion of Mirkwood) is born he is mentally completely healed and ... you know: a sweet, fluffy happy-end!!!
