Would you mind adding "romance" to the thread title? We already have a few general-purpose recs threads. 
Hmm. I'm gonna have to ponder this one. Only 10?  |

Another good one is Corrupting the Incorruptible by Viv - Legolas
Circle of Hands by Ghettoelleth has already been mentioned
also, Elf and Future King by Alassante - Eomer / OC
Edit; also just remembered - Rebirth by Thuriniel - Thranduil
(all on OSA)
Also if you're looking for something to read, you can't go wrong having a look at SilverMoonLady's story list.

I just read the second chapter of Rebirth by Thuriniel and I'm so stoked, she's done a dead sexy Thranduil and it is such a lovely and touching story.
The Elf and Future King by Alassante is a wonderful story and there's some Theodred in there which we never see often enough.
Ellisk's Interrupted Journey is such a wonderful tale of the familia Mirkwood. And Viv's Corrupting the Incorruptable is wonderful as well. I had pretty much given up on reading Thranduil and Legolas anywhere due to the multitude of crap out there but I must say, there are some really wonderful ones here and I am no longer hitting the back button when I see the names Thranduil or Legolas anymore.
Once in a Fair Green Country by Spaceweavil is a WONDERFUL little romance about Gandalf. NOW, don't run, its not old man Gandy hitting the pubs of ME. Give it a try, its a great story.
Rider of the Mark by ZeeDrippyVessel is, of all things, a Gamling fic. Not many of those out there and she makes him to die for. Not only that, but her Eomer is absolutely wonderful.
Crossroads of Time by Ellie is a touching story of Glorfindel and finding love at the time of the fall of Gondolin. She has an OC in this fic by the name of Istadan that is creating his own little fan girl swoon. Poor Ellie has a waiting list and all her friends are checking him out like a library book.
A Butterfly Effect by ROUS is just the sweetest story. My daughter and I are reading this one together and she has had a wonderful time with it. It even inspired her (she's 11) to write her own little fanfic as a creative writing project at school. By the way ROUS, you ARE in big trouble. She's been hounding me to speak with you for days, lol.
That said, SilverMoonLady, you'll be so tickled, my daughters project is a HOBBIT fic! lol Speaking of Silver Moon Lady, anything she has written is exceptional and let me say, until meeting some of the ladies here at osa and reading their work, I was strictly PEF. Feeling it only fair that I read and review a wider variety of fic, I grudgingly began to read other characters that I usually would not have. What a wonderful surprise to find that I actually fell in love with some of them. SLM's
Artanis Orange Blossom's - Heaven is shaping up to be a wonderful story. She's creating a Haldir that is so nice, and its her first multi so I'm very proud of her.
I'm sure there are more, this just happens to be some of my current list.
