I don't know that much about traditional folklore regarding elves but I don't think they were traditionally benevolent, or at least not most of the time.

Then again Tolkein knew way more than me about traditional folklore regarding elves and he still went with Legolas and company so... I could be wrong.

(Also I seem to remember Terry Pratchett's elves being mean as hell.)

the words 'Elves are terrific' send a shiver down my spine to this day

The Fair Folk were all tricksters, and while some might do you a good turn, most would not, so it was best to simply avoid them.

I think Tolkein's elves were more based on the elves in the Prose Edda, and other Norse mythology, while Pratchett's were based on fairies like the Unseelie Court.

You would probably like 'Faery in Shadow' (with a prequel novella "The Brothers", which was first published in her 1986 collection of short fiction, Visible Light), and The Dreamstone/The Tree of Swords and Jewels (two novels) by CJ Cherryh.

The former in particular is full of 'fairy' who are absolutely *not* going to give you a wish or help you spin straw or anything. They're scary and ruthless and wield a lot of magic, and you cross them or bargain with them at your peril.
