Summary
There is no killing a deathless thing. There is no saving the man gurgling his last on the ground behind you. But you raise your sword in challenge. You are a shieldmaiden of Rohan and you will stand by your king. You are Eowyn, Theoden’s daughter in all but name, and you will defy this horror until the very end of you.
But you are no man. They do not tell any stories of your end.
So you do not end here.

The Five Times Rory Gilmore Said: No by Meadowlark27

Summary
“Mom?”
“Yeah?”
A brittle breath edges through Rory’s teeth.
“I’m scared,” she says.
“I know, kid. But you’ve got me on your side. And I know a thing or two about babies—I can bless you with my wisdom. You can even borrow my flip-flops for when your ankles swell up to the size of grapefruits.”
Rory’s eyes are stinging, dampness clinging to her lashes. She clears her throat. “I have my own flip-flops, you know.”
“Yeah, but yours don’t have rhinestones on them.” Rory feels Lorelai pull away, but her mother’s hands just move to her shoulders, holding her at arm’s length. “Let me help. I tried doing this whole incubating-and-raising-a-kid thing completely on my own, and while I’m eternally grateful that it made you completely and utterly dependent on your dear mother, I—look, Rory, this is tough to do by yourself.”
“I know.”
Lorelai’s lips press into a thin smile, but then her shoulders widen and tighten. “Unless—if you want him involved, too—”
“No,” Rory spits out, the word carving a bitter taste into the backs of her teeth. Then, softer this time: “No.”

Summary
Lily remembered her sister, how there had been a time she was curious and delighted about magic, before it slowly sank in that she could look and not touch.
The last thing Petunia had said to Lily before she died was a chilly goodbye, ending a holiday dinner where they'd had a shrieking row in the entryway. Petunia had said 'freak' and Lily had hissed 'better than this, better than this being my whole fucking world, Tune, do you even see yourself, are you happy--'
And now here was Dudley Vernon Dursley fussing himself to sleep as Lily walked the halls of the Godric's Hollow house. His tiny soft hands with their tiny soft fingernails curled under her chin, the same way Harry's always had.
She passed James, who was gently bouncing his way up the hall the opposite way. "I think he's asleep," James mouthed over Harry's tousled head. His hair was the same mess, his head bent down as he peered at his sleeping son.
Lily stopped where she stood, her nephew heavy on her chest, her husband smiling, her sister buried. "James," she said. "How are we going to do this?"

Summary
She moves into the apartment beside his, with her flowers and her singing and her brisk optimism, and Ben Solo knows himself just well enough to realize that a person like him really shouldn't have anything to do with a person like her. His good friend Snoke, of course, has other plans, because he gets a certain enjoyment from watching Ben - Kylo Ren, rather, as he calls him - screw things up. Which Ben inevitably does: but that's not where he wants them to end, and maybe Rey doesn't either.
