You may skip this if you'd like, I only felt I had to explain some of this, and give you the songs the chapters are based off of. I wanted to show how the loss of others ipsometimes can't be healed. What you should bring from this is that you leaving, could destroy someone else. I know it wasn't the happiest fanfiction, by any stretch of the word. There are so many erotic stories about them, that I felt I had to show you how innocent their love truly is.

chpt. 1

song: you are my sunshine

in this chapter Thranduil deals with the absence and loss of his son. It's pretty straightforward, as I had planned on it ending there, but your reviews egged me on, and as I was walking to work I had the idea of having Thranduil go through the the stages of grief/death.

chpt. 2

song: bloody motherfucking asshole

by: Martha wainwright

anger, the second stage. And Thranduil has a whole lot of it that comes leaking out on himself.

chpt. 3

song: breathe again

by: jimmy Robbins

feren tries to bring his King back, but it turns out he's sunken too far. There's nothing anyone could do now.

chpt. 4

song: with this knife

by: smile empty soul

depression. I find it the worst of all. And it seems Thranduil has made his mind, that he has no place in this world any longer. The song seemed to fit perfectly, so I used it. An I love how the song ends in the middle of a sentence, as you may have noticed.

chpt. 5

song: Angels

by: Sarah Mclatchen

this chapter went really fast, I hope I came across with all I wanted. Thranduil ends his life, and assumes to pass into a void, as elves have no religion. We know little of the grey heavens but I assume it's just where they all hang out or something. So they either live happily together, or Thranduil is sent to hell I don't, you should decide.
