Summary: A young woman on the verge suicide is brought to Middle-Earth and with a little help she finds that there are some things that make life worth living. Warning! Depression and very angsty. Some say it's a MS some say not- make up your own mind. I give it a resounding 'YES'!!!


Full Name (plus titles if any): Thalia
Full Species(es): Human - but, don't cha know, she becomes an elf
Hair Color (include adjectives): silver
Eye Color (include adjectives): 'startling blue eyes'
Unusual Markings/Colorations: body covered with scars from the self mutilation she practices almost daily.
Special Possessions (if any):  A  bundle of razor blades so she can continue to cut herself up in ME. 
Annoying Origin: Brought to ME from our time by Galadriel after Thalia kills herself, don't know if it said why she was brought & don't care.
Annoying Connections To Canon Characters: Legolas falls in love with her almost instantly, Glorfindel becomes 'like a father' to her *stop messing with Glorfindel, dammit!*  and Haldir becomes a 'big brother' to her. Oh, the pain....
Annoying Special Abilities: The ability to make me retch. The ability  to turn Glorfindel, Haldir and Legolas - and later the twins - into a bunch of sobbing, pathetic saps.
Other Annoying Traits: cries ALOT.

Now, if you try to read this mess, I have to warn you: the author jumps back and forth from perspectives with no warning. The whole fic is written in the first person, but it jumps from Legolas' perspective, to Thalia's, to Haldir's , all over the place with no warning about whose thoughts you are reading. ARGH.

Please include a small sample of the worst of this story:

I had run from the burial of my parents and had gone straight to the training room in the hopes of expelling some of my anger and frustration. I was paying no attention to anything as I spared alone, not even myself. I had accidentally cut myself on the sharp edge of the blade. I sat down, shocked by my mistake, I never made mistakes. As I watched the crimson blood run down my arm I felt strangely satisfied. It was as if all my problems had left me along with the blood. But later that night the feelings came back. I managed to ignore it for a few days but it was fast becoming impossible. I turned a blade every night after that. I continued to use a blade for over five hundred years.

As I looked at her I could feel my raw emotions returning full force. I did not pity her. I felt only the deepest concern

I looked up at Legolas and Glorfindel. They were both sat there with tears streaming down their faces, I looked toward Haldir, and he was in no better state. We all sat there looking at each other and crying.

Glorfindel gabbed me and hugged me, then Legolas and Haldir joined us. And I have never felt more loved. I had my three very best friend here with me, and now I had no secrets to be ashamed of. I let myself go and just sat here hugging them for all I was worth.

"I've never been more proud", Haldir said as he kissed me.

"Nor have we. It is true that we have wanted to know about your strange behaviour, but I doubt that any of us could have guessed the torment that you have survived. You are the daughter I have always wished for pen-neth", I cried as Glorfindel told me this. Since my dad had changed I had wished for him back but it never happened. Now I had another whom I knew would never hurt me and would always look after me

"Thalia, would you do me the honour of allowing me to become your new father. I will give you a home and you will want for noting". Glorfindel said, I could hear the fear of rejection clearly in his voice. I couldn't speak, I threw my arms around him and cried into his shoulder. "Glorfindel, I would be honoured to call you my father if you would have me. We held each other as we cried out all out emotions.

Legolas and Haldir sat on the bed watching us. I pulled away from Glorfindel and beckoned them over into a group hug.

An hour later we all began to fall asleep. I was nestled tightly in between Glorfindel and Legolas. Legolas had his arms wrapped round me so tight that I thought I would burst. We had found a new understanding tonight. It was as if we had discovered each other again. I met him again, as the elf- Legolas who wanted nothing more than to love me and I would let him. And I would give him all I had.

Haldir was on the other side of Glorfindel. He wasn't just Haldir the marchwarden anymore, he was Haldir my brother. He was the big brother that would stand up for me and always make sure that wasn't I any trouble.

I fell asleep, a new person with a new family. **gagging uncontrollably*

"What you don't know, is that she has been brought home".

"Home?" Elladan asked.

"Lady Galadriel went to Thalia on the night of her death. She had heard the call of Thalia's soul. Unbeknownst to Thalia she was in the wrong realm, or at least her soul was. I cannot tell you the details because I do no know them. After her arrival in Middle-Earth she met Legolas. They did not know it at the time, but their souls have matched. As you know, elves only love once and when they do, they love their match completely. It usually takes a few years before a pair of souls meet and intertwine. But in this case, Legolas' soul felt the pain and sorrow that she eminated, and before he could do anything about it, his soul answered".

Immediate soul bonding was rare and very few knew what actually went on when this happened. I hoped that I was explaining this well, I was trying my best.

"So, why has it taken so long for either of them to realise it?" Glorfindel asked, his concern for both evident in the hushed tone of his voice.

"Legolas realised it almost immediately. But Thalia fought against it. Her soul tried to hide from the love he so readily offered her. The fear she felt towards her father hindered her own feelings. However, part of her soul did accept him, which is why she was most trusting with Legolas"

It just goes on and on from here, gets worse and worse. They return to Rivendell, her father kills her mother back in our world, then hangs himself in jail. They are both brought to ME after they die too, and since her father was so evil that his beatings made her begin to cut herself, he, of course, runs into Saruman who helps make him MORE evil and then he comes after Thalia to finish her off. *twitch** Oh yeah, and THEN, when dear old dad is caught, Elrond has him executed for his crimes. *twitch, twitch**

I simply can't post anymore about this, there is just too much horror here to choose anymore without my eyes beginning to bleed.
