    Summary

    "When Shouyou goes down, it feels the same as it did the first time, a decade ago. Only now, he's old enough and fully-grown enough to know that he could not have prevented this. All of his careful training, his rigid devotion to proper sleep and nutrition, the doctors and trainers of the highest caliber, and yet--"

    --
    Following an injury, Shouyou returns home from Sao Paulo to find that the descent from the summit is never quite as exciting as the climb.

    Summary

    Roy could power a tank with the frantic pounding in his chest. “Edward asked me to teach him to dance. Formally. For his wedding.”

    “Oh,” says Riza. It sinks in, realization dawning like the sun cresting the mountainside. “Oh, that is a problem.”

    Or: the one where Roy asks Riza to teach him to dance so that he can teach Edward, and it’s all hopeless from there.

    Summary

    Elrond has his own, strange quest to embark upon before leaving Middle-earth. He has not seen his foster father in thousands of years. Though Maglor is said to wander by the sea, no one has heard any news of him in an Age.

    Elrond does not seek to find or destroy any object, powerful or otherwise. What he wants is both more simple and more complex: to take his father with him, or wish him farewell. He does not know if Maglor can be found, but that will not stop him from making the attempt. The lonely shores call to him, and so does a song in the distance...

    Written for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2020, this work is a collaboration, based on this illustration by mallornblossom (now felixwhetsel).
