    Summary

    He’s in Montreal, playing against Shane Hollander. Nothing unusual or untoward. But maybe Ilya feels awkward or embarrassed, even–two emotions he is not familiar with. He’s thrown off during the entire game, losing each face-off against Shane despite intently staring at the ice to avoid staring into his deep brown eyes. Or his freckles.

    Shane isn’t looking at him. So he isn’t looking at Shane. Simple as that. It’s not as if Ilya’s heart aches with every beat, or anything. Not as if Ilya regrets saying Shane’s first name like an oath that day a week ago.

    or, after the tuna melt scene

    Summary

    After the end of season 2, the elves are building a haven in what will become Imladris and gathering their armies to strike back against Sauron. The scar left above Galadriel's heart by the spike of Morgoth's crown is healing. They may have lost the battle, but they have not yet lost the war.

    And yet sometimes that scar aches. Sometimes she hears Halbrand's voice calling to her. And when two masked figures calling themselves Gaudrim arrive from Rhûn, saying they are elves of long-lost Doriath, Galadriel will not be the only one who finds healing a more complicated thing than it first appears.

    (featuring: my those-Gaudrim-are-Sindarin-elves theory, Galadriel's crown stab injury as a Morgul-wound type of thing, masks, healing, and the overlap between marriage bonds and sorcery bonds.)

    Summary

    Frodo fails.

    The good people of Middle Earth succumb to the rule of the One Ring and its only master, Sauron. In his victory, he promises only a cruel decimation of the world as he reforges it in his image. Except, of course, his chief adversary needs to make things more complicated. Another bargain struck. An accord for a hand in marriage, in exchange for a fading chance to save Middle Earth from utter ruin.

    (Sequel to "A Stressed Tiding.")
