    Summary

    "Would you do it again?" Elrond dares, his voice breaking on the question. "If you could go back, knowing everything—would you still jump?"

    Elwing is quiet for a long moment. 

    Then she turns to him, face carefully composed, her voice near-inaudible: "What was the bride-price you named for your daughter, Elrond?"
    _____________

    The story of a monumental choice that shaped the life of Elrond Peredhel, told in seven unanswered questions, and an eighth asking to be understood.

    Summary

    Sero Telimezho was used to her son bringing home strays. Coris had always had a kind heart, and he could not bear to leave an injured creature where it lay. She had seen many an injured bird or lost cat nursed back to health under his attention.

    When he was fifteen, however, he brought home a different kind of stray.

    Coris Telimezh finds a feverish, injured boy lost on the outskirts of the Edonara, and does the only thing he can do: he takes him home, and nurses him back to health.

    Summary

    It was not, Phryne thought as she steered Josephine through the French countryside, that you could precisely call her job boring. There was a war on, and she was much nearer the front than she told her parents in her infrequent letters home. She was driving an ambulance between the French triage unit and the hospital, avoiding potholes as best she could. The men in the back of her bus moaned or swore at each one she hit. It was important work, one part in the chain that saved as many men as possible from the jaws of death. It was good work, and more meaningful than she'd thought it would be when she'd signed up for the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, desperate for anything that would get her out of London.

    It was only that she'd driven this route so often she could do it in her sleep. The only change was the appearance of more potholes and ruts.

    Phryne's ambulance breaks down just outside the village where Peter Wimsey is stationed.

    Summary

    Dr Ketterly was one messed up human being. The man who was Piranesi and is now becoming someone else is coming to terms with that. Raphael is just concerned.

    OR: Piranesi deserves a hug from someone who can hug him back.
