Summary
"Lady Galadriel's husband?" Faramir asks in turn, and then flushes — no man would appreciate being addressed as his wife's husband. Well, he wouldn't mind, personally. But he's not like most other men. Nor, it seems, is this silver-haired elf, who is outright laughing at Faramir's flustered apology.
"Lady Galadriel's husband indeed, pleased to make the acquaintance of Lady Éowyn's betrothed," he smiles, bows low, and winks. "My name is Celeborn. And you have spent some time dead, I hear?"
"I have," Faramir nods. "Six minutes, they say."
________________It is a day of statewide mourning in Gondor for the losses of the War of the Ring, a ritual involving mass funerary pyres. Celeborn and Faramir skive off and spend the day beside an oddly named river very few have heard of, and find they have more in common than a fear of fire.

Summary
In the wake of Aragorn's supposed death on the way to Helm's Deep, Gimli and Legolas seek for comfort amidst their grief—and ultimately find it, as they ever do, in one another.
Eventually Legolas said quietly, "Men go on."
"Go on where?"
"Beyond the circles of the world," Legolas said. "No one knows where; or at least, the elves do not. All we know is that they go, and they do not return."
Gimli nodded. "They do not come back," he said, and understanding began to dawn.
"No," said Legolas. "No, they do not." Another long, waiting silence fell; again, it was Legolas who broke it, asking very quietly, "Do dwarves?"

Summary
Stories featuring Legolas and Gimli, set within the bounds and confines of canon. They have been assembled here in chronological order although they do not necessarily all exist within the same continuity or abide by the same internal canon or sequence of events; but they are all stories that could, and might, take place within the canonical Legendarium. Because I think we can all agree that it is indeed time to say more on this matter.

Summary
Even when the Eagle came, even with Fingon’s blade at his wrist, Maedhros had neither hoped nor desired to live.
So he held his breath: and then Maedhros cried, “There you are!”
