Summary
"Kaz opened the door, and the sight of her was almost enough to make him forget everything — the pain, the guilt, the turmoil of emotion this day had been. A string of tension snapped, releasing him. She was at the window, dark hair loose to the wind, casually perched on it just like she used to, before everything. The crows she’d taken the time to feed fretted around her, recognizing her careful fingers. A younger one had nestled in her lap, and gently, she petted its ruffled feathers.
'Pretty' was nowhere near enough. She was every beautiful thing in the world.
Kaz found the breath he’d lost, and felt a tired smile bloom on his lips."
------
Six months after the events of Crooked Kingdom, Kaz Brekker begins to heal. It starts with a long-owed apology to a friend, and the return of the Wraith in Ketterdam.

Summary
"When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die? " (Return of the King : The Houses of Healing).
Eowyn and Faramir's meeting and courtship in the Houses of Healing, and their relationship up to their marriage and arrival in Ithilien. Starts mainly bookverse, with occasional movie-verse references, then goes off into the post-war world. Now complete.

Summary
Kit shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans, grinning sheepishly at her. “So,” he said. “I kind of thought you were maybe in trouble.”
“I am,” she said, rubbing her knuckles against her temple in a don’t-you-even-dare gesture at the headache she could feel threatening. “I have my biochem final tomorrow and I’ve been returned to active status. If that doesn’t spell trouble – for my GPA, and possibly the world -- then I don’t know what does.”
