The Path Not Taken is a Legolas/Éowyn fansite with fanfiction, fanart, wallpapers, LiveJournal icons, a forum, links and a short essay in support of the pairing of Legolas and Éowyn:

Why Legolas & Éowyn? After all, Elf/Human relationships are extremely rare, and even more than that, Legolas and Éowyn had no dialogue, no interaction whatsoever in either book or film. So why bother pairing them up?

I will be honest, at first it was because i thought they looked good together, but there is more to it than that. They are both brave warriors. Neither talks excessively, but when they do speak, what they say is both eloquent and intelligent (obviously, this doesn't go for Legolas in the films, but we shall overlook that). They are in a desperate and tumultuous situation, where both could offer the other something that would help them make it through. Their relationship would also be an interesting contrast and comparison to the relationship of Aragorn and Arwen.

There is a certain amount of freedom involved in having a Fanon pairing, especially where Legolas is involved as he carries virtually no baggage. But what of Éowyn, with Aragorn and Faramir? How would adding the extra angle of Legolas reshape the storyline? There are infinite possibilities, all just waiting to be imagined.
