    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins would, upon his first visit to Elrond's valley, mention Celebrían in passing. How when he was three or four years old, he had fallen right near The Old Forest and had been crying, and the Groundswallow turned up, pressed a finger to the earth beside him and brought him out a little present right out of the soil.
    "It wasn't a good present, mind you," Bilbo had said, wrinkling his nose at the memory. "It was an egg."
    ___
    This is the story of a world in which a wounded Celebrían refuses to sail after her capture, and confined to The Old Forest, learns to make the earth move and flowers grow beneath her fingers. It is also a love story.

    Summary

    Their little band of conspirators was rich with loyalty and stout hearts, but Merry had been the one to make the preparations, to list out and discreetly purchase supplies and provisions; he was the one who had lain awake in his bed night after night in the months leading up to Frodo's departure from Bag End, making sure he hadn't forgotten anything that would be wanted.

    All his meticulous planning was being dismantled piece by piece in front of him. There was a stranger in their company. And he could not scrub the feeling of evil hands from his skin.

    Summary

    “Gandalf is going to turn me into a weasel,” Pippin told Boromir. “I shall need a pocket to ride in. May I borrow yours?”

    Boromir blinked. “Oh,” he said. “Ohh. Yes, certainly, so long as you are a weasel-sized weasel and not a hobbit-sized weasel.”

    Pippin turned to Gandalf, caught by this new idea. “Can you make me into a hobbit-sized weasel?”

    “For mercy's sake,” said Gandalf.

    In which Pippin has approximately sixty uninterrupted leagues to find out everything that can be found out from Gandalf and gets approximately sixty times more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    The chattering masses of people he passed didn’t know it yet, but they would one day fear the half-drowned nine year old shaking from the cold and the effects of the plague.

    Then again, no one knew much about Kaz Brekker. They didn’t know he wasn’t from the Barrel or that he’d once had a family. They never guessed where the rasp in his young voice came from. They certainly didn’t know why he really wore gloves. Most weren’t even convinced he was human. No one ever suspected that Kaz Brekker was deaf.

    *** Basically a random story of what if Kaz went deaf from the plague. It starts sort of pre-canon and has expanded. I am bad at summaries so read the first chapter if you want to get a feel for what this story is.

    “Happiness doesn’t exist in the Barrel, merchling,” Kaz said, running a gloved hand through his hair. “I’d wager more than half of the people you know have considered it at least once.”

    “It’s a preexisting condition,” Jon explains, sipping more bitter tea. “I sort of got—hm. You know Spiderman?”

    Tim raises an eyebrow.

    “Heard of him, yeah.”

    Jon nods, studying his tea.

    “It’s sort of like that,” he says. “A spider killed and ate me when I was a child, and now I can’t stay dead.”

    Summary

    Kaz Brekker's school of resource management (yes, the First Army do need bulletproof keftas!)
    Regicide (Hello Genya! Inej approves!)
    Sankta Inej, the Holy Wraith!
    Wylan the first Otkazak'sya Fabrikator in history!
    Genuine Sun Saint canes available for the low, low price of...
    Everyone, everywhere wanting Kaz dead. And all at once!

    Summary

    Kaz is prepared to bribe the owners of the other gambling halls not to admit him—he’s prepared to send some of the younger Dregs to beat Jesper to a mild pulp every time he tries to enter the Barrel, if necessary—but he hopes it won’t come to that. If you could beat an addiction out of someone, Jesper would have been cured years ago.

    “What, then? Spit it out.”

    The other man pauses at the window, staring out at the rain, and swallows before finally saying, “Wylan asked me to marry him.”

    Summary

    “And have you made this entire call without once vexing or offending poor Miss Ghafa?”
    Captain Rietveld looked coolly at him. Inej bent her head over her sewing to hide her smiling, since she was not sure she would not laugh outright. She had not thought that Wylan would deliberately provoke the Captain, but perhaps his deference to his father did not reach anyone else.
    “I am sure that is not for me to decide,” said the Captain, “But I own I have been perfectly well behaved.”
    “Does he lie, Miss Ghafa?”
    “No— he has been quite tolerable company,” said Inej. “If not quite a perfect gentleman.”
    “You wound me, Miss Ghafa.”
    “I suspect I do not, Captain.”

    Summary

    “So, yes.” Kaz said. “It is a good idea to collect in the Barrel. Merchers don’t care about some puerile charity project, but the Barrel is built of survivors. It has a very long memory. Say some jumped-up kid pinches some kruge from them. When he comes back to his boss, who lost his girl and his Da and his best friend in the Queen’s Lady, and presents him with money that’s meant to be funding a memorial for them? Them, the people who never get a scrap of respect, who were left to die in the streets? That kid will be lucky if he escapes with both of his hands.”
    --
    or: on the 10 year anniversary of the queen's lady plague, the holy ghezen health institute aim to erect a memorial for the victims, but they struggle to find the funds. kaz is selfish in a selfless way.
    and thanks to some sleuthing from wylan, jesper finds out who jordie is.
