    Summary

    It’s 1909 at Hogwarts. Newt Scamander is 12 years old, and he is not enjoying school. Meanwhile, Albus Dumbledore is the new transfiguration professor, and one of his quietest students is skipping class and kicking shins. But Dumbledore recognises something in the boy when he sees him react to an errant phoenix, and—so—the nurturing of two gentle creatures pays off for everyone in the long run, though Dumbledore won’t understand why the phoenix showed up in the first place until many years later...

    A one-shot musing on the beginning of Albus' fondness for Newt.

    Summary

    After the war, the stories say that Legolas son of Thranduil restored Ithilien to the "fairest country in all the westlands." But what was lost in its making, and what was gained? For Legolas, those things that haunt him are the very ones he holds closest. Those things that drain also sustain. These are the moments of beauty and despair that pinprick the patchwork quilt of Legolas' life in the Fourth Age: a handful of stories that, woven together, paint a picture, frozen in a moment of time: a world in a grain of sand.

    Summary

    Chroniclers will claim--above all else--that Maeglin left Nan Elmoth for desire of lordship alone. While we all know how the story ends, before that there was more: a mother and her son and a dark dark wood; three lives and three deaths, and the dazzling sunlight in between. This story is a portrait of the why behind the flight: family violence and a woman under siege, a child grown to adulthood in lonely darkness, learning to fight with only the tools provided him. It is a tale of childhood nightmares maturing into something more--manipulated by heart-darkened fathers and gently used by desperate mothers--until living becomes surviving and reality is a dream...

    Summary

    Legolas brings three important things with him to Valinor: a dwarf, news of Aragorn and Arwen's passing, and the knowledge that his father is staying behind. However, on the day Legolas delivers news of Arwen to Elrond's family, he and Elrohir begin to fall in love, bit by bit, and—over the centuries—they settle into the kind of unacknowledged romance that grows in the little domestic moments in between. Still, Aman cannot stop the passage of time, and elves are struck by grief wherever they walk. Elrohir and Legolas must work their way through Gimli's passing to finally reach the lightness of the other side, but they may need a little unexpected help to get there. Even in Eternity time marches on, and things may yet come full circle.

    Summary

Gimli is left to fend for himself in a gaggle of wood-elves led by Legolas' childhood best friend Ithildim, who has a few lessons to teach Gimli himself, for sacrifice comes in many forms…
