    Summary

    Though the loss of its master was disastrous enough, the first true sign that all was not well at the Jinlintai came a fortnight after Jin Guangyao’s death.

    “They say that Jin-furen refuses to wear mourning,” Nie Huaisang said to Lan Xichen, when he visited Gusu in the wake of Jin Guangyao’s funeral. “What if—what if something’s wrong, Xichen-gege? She was devoted to San-ge, so why would she…”

    This was so far beyond belief that Lan Xichen dismissed Huaisang’s report at once. But he wrote to Qin Su that evening, asking her if all was well; and though he visited the mail-office nearly every day during the week that followed, he received no reply.

    In which something is rotten at the heart of Lanling, and Lan Xichen attempts—and fails—to discover what it might be.

    Summary

    Patterns and echoes of what she knew was supposed to happen - she could see them everywhere. She was what was wrong in the picture, the thing that shifted everything and caused devastating changes, and yet even then the weave of history showed a similar image to what she had expected.

    Being reincarnated into the body of an Elf, growing up in Rivendell, it had always sounded like a dream to her. It was both a dream and a nightmare. Love and grief were inseperable for her, even when she was surrounded by people who were supposed to be immortal. The future loomed menacingly ahead, promising war, love, and even more loss.
    She didn't want it. She wanted freedom to choose her own fate, and she wanted the freedom to explore Middle-earth.
    What would you do with three thousand years? Well, she certainly wasn't going to spend them sitting in Rivendell.

    Summary

    Both Maedhros and Odysseus live in worlds born of song, though only Maedhros is aware of it.

    Both Maedhros and Odysseus are standing in the wreckage of the cities they've burned, facing the fact they may be responsible for the deaths of children they'd give anything to save.

    For just a moment, the songs of their worlds are nearly identical, and something - shifts.

    (Or: One moment, Maedhros is in the woods of Doriath. The next moment, he finds himself in Troy.)
