If It Be Your Will by LadySternchen
Fanwork Notes
Readers please note: this fic deals with sexual assault, suicide (sort of), assisted suicide/killing on demand and torture (also kind of). Take care while reading.
Also a massive thanks to my wonderful beta-reader Aria, who helped me so much. This story wouldn’t be the same without that help.
(Oh, and the title is once again taken from the song I listened to so much while writing, which is -surprise, surprise- If It Be Your Will by Leonhard Cohen)

Summary:
“Melian had but a moment’s warning ere her entire world was violently turned upside down. Maintaining the Girdle came naturally to her these days, without needing her conscious thought or effort. She kept away whoever had no business being in Doriath, shut out the voices and mental attacks that Mairon would hurl at her, hardly noticing that she was doing it at all.
This, however, was different. Very, very different.”
