    Summary

    Erik's son needs a tutor. Erik definitely does not want to sleep with the tutor, because that would be inappropriate for a myriad of reasons (including, but not limited to: his life is kind of a mess). Even if the tutor asks really, really nicely.

    Summary

    “I cannot recall,” Maedhros says, watching Maglor stoke the fire, “I cannot recall if you are dead.”
    “I am not,” Maglor says. “Father is.”
    Father frowns. “I am not either,” he says, out of the fireplace, “I am made of flames and thus I cannot die.”
    “Father is dead,” Maedhros echoes. That seems right. “Maglor.”
    “Yes?” Maglor straightens up. He walks to the table. The table is small, wound, carved of wood. It doesn’t look like anything they had before. Maglor pours wine and waters it down, mixes in honey.
    “You must tell me if you have died,” Maedhros says, “it is cruel if you do not tell me.”
    “He is a poet,” Father says, “he must be cruel.”

    --

    Maedhros drifts.

    Summary

    "Perhaps that one summer in the sand when I gave him his songs and stories, had bound us in a way blood alone could not, weaved something intractable between my second son’s soul and mine. Perhaps the summer Maglor began to sing changed the course of his life for good."
    _________
    When Maglor is eight years old, Nerdanel takes him to the seaside for a summer. Over the next seven thousand years, more than one life is saved.

    Summary

    Feanaro had composed an entire alphabet. He could certainly compose a letter.

    The question was if he was capable of doing so with the slightest modicum of tact.

    (Or: five times Nerdanel had to help Feanaro write a letter, and one time he returned the favor.)

    (And two times they had to write a letter alone.)

    Summary

    Finding Dracula's castle was the last resort for Lisa.

    She knew the dangers, yet she pressed on, too determined not to try. People said he was a monster. But monsters didn’t have castles full of books as far as she was concerned. To Lisa, monsters were rogue beasts in the woods. Not men who read and made inventions. Dracula was something else entirely. And she was drawn to him.
