Summary

Celegorm had always thought an apocalypse would be more fun, but, no. The world kept on as normal, and the world did not like allowing Celegorm Feanorian nice things. Like apocalypses.
***
Trapped with his dog, zombies, and favorite brother for company, Celegorm goes looking for prodigal family members and ends finding the wrong ones.

Summary

"Could I forget the Sun, laurë?" Maedhros asked. "Would I want to? Or would I rather not meet my brother among the cousins who don't like us very much?"

"Sister, now." Maglor's grin was both conspiracy and invitation, and for the first time Maedhros noted her hair was done in a woman's braid. "The years have been long for both of us. Would you deny me my change?"

***

After two Ages, Maedhros meets Maglor on the streets of Valinor. Some things have changed. Some, terribly, had not.

Summary

“When they played in the caves, they were not Elwing-Elrond-Elros, mother and sons. They were three refugee children pretending to be ordinary children, feral in salt-stained clothes and their foremother's wide, watchful eyes. Up and down the shoreline, caves like these were claimed by Sirion's young to play in, designed, occupied and defended by children who understood that space you could call yours was temporary, that you took it when you found it and could lose it any time.“
Elwing cares little for the forests of Valinor.
