    Summary

    Excerpt:

    Two small forms covering against the stone, dirty and bloody, abandoned by their orphaners. They do not speak, the silence hanging in the air too heavy for them to lift.
    But someone stronger stands just outside the curtain of water. Guilt eats away at him, guilt from a thousand different times his father's choices had carried him.

    Or:

    Snapshots of Elrond throughout his life. A character study. Elrond dealing with his trauma, and finding his rare moments of joy.

    Summary

    “I stood there for a long time after Celebrían’s ship sailed, smiling slightly at the vast sway of the sea before me, rocking me to sleep as it swallowed my world whole. I thought, inexplicably, of my father Maedhros — his sea-serpent eyes, his shipwreck eyes. Pitch-black and lonely, as wide and fathomless as the sea. It felt almost serene, standing there, like despairing was just another word for living and that I could get used to it, like my father had done before me.”
    _____

    Elrond, Maedhros, Estel: a strange, cyclical story of fathers and sons, from an old sea-serpent washing up on the shores of Sirion, to a quiet moment by a duckpond in Imladris.
