Summary
After the Éothéod revolt against the Wainriders, the northern tribes seek to form strong alliances with their neighbors. Lord Frumgar tasks his son Fram to lead the delegation to Imladris. With him, he brings gold, fine horses, and two young thralls chosen by his father to be given to Lord Elrond himself. Elrond is conflicted to say the least.
Regardless, an alliance must be struck. Prince Fram brings news of darkness spreading across Rhovanion which is already leaking up into Greenwood. Elrond fears it will soon reach Imladris. Once more, Elves and Men must put aside their differences and unite...or fall.
AU. No graphic depictions. Mature themes.

Summary
“I have come,” said the stranger in grey, “to help where I can. And to offer kindness where I might.”
“Help,” said Círdan. “A better word than aid, I think. And kindness a better word than salvation, or holy war, or the clean-up crew. Yet you seem to have mislaid your shining sword, your bright sails, and your sounding horns?”
The stranger looked at his own ragged grey robe and at the gnarled staff propped beside his chair, and drew himself up a little. “One tries one’s best, Lord of the Havens.”

Summary
“My dear Mr. Baggins, you cannot possibly imagine I have brought you across the boundaries of the sundered world, bending every law of gods and men, over land and over sea and through the fathomless heights, for your health? Well, I did, of course I did, and I’d do it again. But it was not for your own good only that I brought you here. I have been on this world a very long time, Mr. Baggins, and if there is one thing that I have learned about the Wise and the Great, it’s that they benefit from the company of hobbits, and it’s the wisest and greatest who have most need of them.”

Bookmarker's Notes
One of my favorite characterizations of the Feanorians! I never thought I needed Feanor becoming friends with Frodo or Maglor with Sam but this is an amazing depiction of what they both bring to a friendship!

Bookmarker's Notes
This is everything I love—father-son relationships, dramatic self-sacrifices, joy triumphing over grief, familial and platonic relations given as much emphasis as romantic ones, and long-overdue conversations. The writing is absolutely beautiful, and this will be something I return to in order to study the prose and plot!
