Same here.

Give me some personality. Give me something I can relate to. I'm tired of "teenage dream" elves.
Elves usually bore me, regardless... so your request is particularly difficult for me, but I can't resist a few suggestions:

Shawn Oetzel's Dying Moon. An elf in a gritty, LA detective, noir-ish story.

Michael A. Stackpole's Once A Hero. They're elves. They're not really good, they're not really bad, but they're definitely not Peter Pan-ish.

I hear Chris Evan's Iron Elves Trilogy is quite gritty, but I've no first hand experience.
