Summary
After decades as a celebrity, riding the highs and lows of public opinion, Kerry’s sense for what separates a concerning stalker from the rest was well and truly shot. As a general rule, though, he considered an unmarked jewelry box with a severed ear mounted inside sufficient cause for worry.

Summary
Kerry never actually told V that he’d added him to his Trauma Team Platinum subscription. Frankly, he’d hoped – foolishly, desperately – it would never even come up. Like most hopes, though, he hadn’t been willing to bank on it.

Summary
“Why’d you change them? Your eyes, I mean.”
Kerry almost missed the distant question – called out to him from a room away – over the clanging of pots and pans.
“Uh, what?” he hollered back, clearly distracted and a few seconds too late. V rounded the corner, a finger tucked between the pages of ‘Live Free or Eurodyne: An Unauthorized Biography of a Chromatic Rock God’.
“Your eyes,” V repeated, watching him like a hawk. He leaned against the wall, as relaxed and impossible to read as ever. “They were brown before. Why’d you change them?”

Summary
"Hey V, made you a mixtape of some classic songs, cause God knows your taste needs a little refining. Most of these songs reminded me of you, but don't go reading too much into them. Or, y'know, do. Maybe there's something there. Anyway, hope you enjoy. -K"
[One-shot glimpses into Kerry and V's relationship, in a vaguely sequential order. Can be read as standalones, or together.]

Summary
“The heart is a fickle and foolish thing,” he replied instead. “I cannot afford to trust my own. Not when wisdom is firm, and so definitively defies it.”
Balin laughed, and with such mirth that he startled the king for a moment, and caused him to worry that he might have been misheard.
“Oh, what nonsense that is,” the old dwarf responded good-naturedly. “It’s quite the opposite. How else could it be that the passage of time might wipe the memory of a person from your mind so cleanly that even their face may one day be obscured from you, yet it is your heart which never grows tired of missing them?
“Did you know, I quite forgot my mother’s name the other day, and I very nearly had to ask my brother for it before it came to me all of a sudden. Still, I cannot eat lamb without wishing it were made by her recipe, and every sunrise I see seems hardly more than a gentle shadow of the warmth she once brought me. She brings it to me still, though she has been gone a century yet. Love is not a physical thing. It is not so frail.”
