    Summary

    He opens the door without hesitation—and abruptly stills as he finds himself looking straight into Finrod's blue-grey eyes.

    Finrod shows up unannounced. Curufin, newly re-embodied, is not prepared for this.

    Summary

    “I cannot recall,” Maedhros says, watching Maglor stoke the fire, “I cannot recall if you are dead.”
    “I am not,” Maglor says. “Father is.”
    Father frowns. “I am not either,” he says, out of the fireplace, “I am made of flames and thus I cannot die.”
    “Father is dead,” Maedhros echoes. That seems right. “Maglor.”
    “Yes?” Maglor straightens up. He walks to the table. The table is small, wound, carved of wood. It doesn’t look like anything they had before. Maglor pours wine and waters it down, mixes in honey.
    “You must tell me if you have died,” Maedhros says, “it is cruel if you do not tell me.”
    “He is a poet,” Father says, “he must be cruel.”

    --

    Maedhros drifts.

    Summary

    The children of elves die easily, for their souls are thinly bound to their bodies and their fate is to endure but not survive. So when faced with a young hostage he really can't afford to let fade away, Sauron is very careful not to do anything too traumatizing.

    (Mostly.)

    Luckily Feanor's grandson is an interesting child to babysit.

    Summary

    “I want to know you,” Celebrimbor said. “You and all that there is to you.”
    Beneath his hands, he felt Annatar tense, his skin growing colder as if every part of him, including his blood, wanted to withdraw from Celebrimbor’s touch.
    “You don’t know what you are asking for,” Annatar said quietly.
    “Perhaps not,” Celebrimbor replied. “And yet this is what I want. You have offered me so much over these years: unnumbered gifts that you gave freely, that I did not even need to ask for. So let this be the first, the last, and the only thing I ask for myself.”
    Let me in. Let me know you. Show me who you were, before you came to me. Let me know all that is ancient and primordial, terrifying and incomprehensible about you. Show me the god beneath the face of the man. Permit me to know you as you truly are.

    On the eve of the creation of the Great Rings, Celebrimbor makes a dangerous request and history changes forever.

    Summary

    "Perhaps they've had another baby," said Lalwen. "How many are they up to now, five?"

    "They cannot possibly have had another baby," said Findis. "Can they?"

    "Perhaps he's coming to visit," said Finarfin.

    His siblings all glared at him.
