    Summary

    War is an ugly, greedy beast with gnashing teeth and an endless hunger. It can—and will—take everything from you.

    If you're one of the lucky ones, war will leave you with only the physical scars of a brush with death: a weapon that strayed too close, a mar on your skin that knits and heals with time. And if you're unlucky, the impacts of battle will wash over you, reflect across every aspect of your being; haunting your mind, controlling your thoughts.

    If you're Sylvain, war will take your best friend's mind.

     

    In the aftermath of a difficult battle, Sylvain struggles to cope with a loss he never knew to expect.

She is seventeen when the man, who is always alone when she sees him, brings a boy with him on one of his regular visits.

    Summary

    [...]
    Maybe Rei didn’t even wanted it. Because it was too much, for him, witnessing another bright person turning off in front of him because of anger, or disappointment, or other emotions he didn’t have the strength to decipher because nothing could be changed anymore and Rei was tired. Tired of trying. Tired even if his heart was exhausted by his attitude of giving up on every possibility. On every new day.
    Pathetic.
    He was so pathetic.

    Summary

    Círdan wanted a quiet harbour. Gil-galad wanted a bit of fun. Elrond just wanted to be left alone to mope, read books, and eat chocolate, but apparently that wasn't "healthy" or "realistic" or "going to get you anywhere in life, Elrond." A completely irreverent tale following the adventures of a bored High King, his new herald, and said herald's serious attitude problem.

    Summary

    Mount Tonglu crowns a fourth Supreme.

    ++++

    “He won’t harm me,” Lan Xichen says, and it’s not until it leaves his lips that he knows: he made up his mind long ago, before he even knew about Supremes. He knew that the moment the coffin cracked he would follow; across the wheel, with demonic cultivation, by whatever means he could find.

    Summary

    The silence expands, crushing with its volume, broken only by Feng Xin’s quiet hiccups ‒ he’s crying, Mu Qing realizes. He’s actually crying, great tears dripping from his chin, out of place upon those noble features ‒ he’s crying.

    “Feng Xin,” he starts, before realizing that he doesn’t know what to say.

    .

    or: the Xian Le Trio reconciliation, through the (metaphorical) seasons.

    Summary

    Early in the Second Age, Elrond is a loremaster-in-training (self-taught, but not any less well-taught for that, thank you) in Gil-galad’s court. He does not speak of his past, and does not take to inquiries with good grace. But when he receives an assignment that will take him to one of the few remnants of the drowned lands of his childhood, he finds that his past is not so easily ignored as all that. Gil-galad’s choice of traveling companion for him does not help matters. At all.

    Summary

    “I think I have a type,” he announces, too tipsy to actually control what’s coming out of his mouth. Distantly, the rational part of him tells him he’ll regret this in the morning. The drunk part of him tells him that’s for hungover Flamebringer to deal with.

    “Guns?” Lappland suggests, smirking.

    “No,” Flamebringer says, scowling, then thinks a little bit about it. W used a gun, too, even if she preferred explosives. “…Maybe,” he amends.

    Lappland and Flamebringer and dealing with feelings in every way but the right ones.
