    Summary

    Xenk is a perfect paladin, and less perfect man. When he swore his oath, he took five vows - honesty, courage, compassion, duty, honour - but there is no oath stronger than the heart's own, no vow deeper than the soul. Even if he struggles to speak of it to Edgin, the source of all his yearning.

    Summary

    What bothers Edgin is that the guy is touchy. He knew that, of course, knew it from those first five minutes when the guy touched that gross fish-thing and then the Tabaxi cub and then the beggar. Xenk can’t keep his hands off people.

    “I don’t get it.”
    “If you’d stop interrupting, I’d say— fuck, I forget. No, wait, here. I was gonna say… And here’s the crux of it: Edgin wanted Xenk to touch him.”
    “Ew.”

    (Or: Xenk touches everyone except Edgin, and it's only a little bit frustrating.)

    Summary

    In the end, Gimli thinks, Legolas will steal his heart and sail away with it, and even the wonders of the Glittering Caves are not enough consolation for that loss. But when Aragorn calls for Gimli’s help in dismantling the hidden traps of Orthanc, everything changes.

    Summary

    "He was so young, during the rebellion. He got his fair share of scars, sure, but this is - " he blinks back wetness in his eyes, both because he doesn't know what it means, and also because he will not let Thimble be right about his big wet kitty-cat eyes. "He was reckless, but not stupid. Where has he been?"

    If Thimble catches the crack in his voice, she's kind enough to let it pass. "I dunno. You all finding me in the hideout - obviously, it was a fucking nightmare, but at least that part was good. Seeing you again. Then, Kat walking in like that...yeah." She sounds somber. "He was on Thaz's mind, sure, but he wasn't one of the pieces he kept on the board."

    "Do you think if he had been kept closer, he would be less - " a dozen words flit across his mind, not all of them Common, but none seem quite right.

    "Fucked up?" Thimble offers, and something in Teor's heart hurts.
