    Summary

    “These days, I am of the opinion that to be healed isn’t to be cured, but rather to develop the ability to live alongside the most intolerable parts of one’s mind. Recovery is a survival tactic, though less fire-without-flint and more lizard-dropping-tail. Primed for violence, the traumatised mind does this, gives you these frantic, immovable highs and lows. And so my Celebrían is at her baddest on the days darkness spreads thickest. She is at her maddest on the days I walk barefoot across beaches and at her saddest when I sink into myself. She reintroduces me to my own mind.”

    An extended edition of my essay for Tolkien Meta Week: on autofiction, archives, healing, and why I moved across the country after finding out Elrond had a wife.

    Summary

    Tongue firmly in cheek, I submit this brief glimpse of the life that follows once Red and Blue are ensconced in happy domesticity in a well-guarded little time bubble of their own. --SL

    Summary

    Cytherea is waiting for you at the River. She’s got a little boat tied to a stake at the water’s edge, and she’s wearing a frankly ridiculous sunhat. She waves you down as you approach, as if there’s any chance of you missing her.

    “Well” she says, smiling her million-watt smile, “you fucked that one up rather spectacularly.”

    “You’re one to talk.” You snap. “You got murdered by a toddler with a bone fetish.”

    “I missed you too, Mercy.” Cytherea says, and rises up on her tiptoes to kiss both your cheeks. “Now come along, we’ve got a very busy afterlife ahead of us.”
