Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

14. Dating Haldir Headcanons

- Dating Haldir means that your time with him is going to have to be shared between him being a Marchwarden and yourself

- Though he has a renewed vigor about making sure Lothlorien is considerably more safe than what it already is with you being his.

- He's extremely protective over you wanting to make sure you are protected and safe at all times

- Because of his extreme protectiveness, Haldir is also somewhat controlling on your whereabouts

- Going anywhere that's not within the safety of Lothlorien is zero to none without a fight

- It may take outside help to convince him that you will be safe if you leave for a short amount of time,

- The longer the time you want to spend outside of Lothlorien, the less likely he will budge.

- When he isn't patrolling Lothlorien, his every moment is spent with you, indulging in everything about you.

- Sometimes he will seem completely unlike himself, as he is so quiet but he just wants listen to everything you have to say that he's missed out on.

- He will also spend copious amounts of time tracing over every feature on your face, committing it all to memory because he's missed you so much.

- Haldir mostly refrains when it comes to affection, even at first in private

- He takes some time to warm up to it, but when he does despite his harder exterior he is happy to spoil you.

- It's just he has to adjust to giving you affection and not treating you like the other warriors

- Haldir does look at you like you're breakable so even the affection you're given is considerably gentle.

- The kisses are passionate but not rough, he'll hold you snugly but always mindful to be loose enough you can pull away, same with hand holding. Loose enough you can pull away if you choose too.

- Haldir just wants to be that incredibly safe space for you, he doesn't ever want you to worry that you can't go to him no matter what it is

- It's not that he doesn't think you're capable or weak, he just knows with the variety of horrors in the world there is something out there that can break you.

- He will do everything in his power to keep you safe and protected from those things if it can be helped!

- And that includes from the possibilities of him accidentally hurting you.
