First of all, please do write those fics, and please do let me know when you're done!
Second of all, I've come up with a better retort regarding Elfangor's skill level than calling you a blasphemer ^_^ Here it is: in Visser, Edriss said that Elfangor's name was a curse because no single Andalite had done the Yeerks more damage than he. In book #1, Visser Three says "You're a legend. You shreded seven of our fighters, or was it eight by the time the battle ended?" Saying that he shreded seven or eight right after "you're a legend" implies that seven or eight is really, really impressive. It's possible that Elfangor's image was blown out of proportion by word-of mouth (so to speak) on the Andalite home world, but I think that Yeerk generals would be far less sesceptable to Andalite gossip.
Remember that in Elfangor's first battle with the Taxxons, he went into a trance and fought so well that he actually scared Arbron and Alloran. Finally, Prince Samilin, who worked with Elfangor personally, told Aximili "by the galaxy, your brother could fight!"
... so my point is, at least in canon, Elfangor is legitamately kick-ass. So there.
