    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.

    Summary

    “You are being very kind to me,” he said, subdued.

    “Far kinder than you deserve, I daresay,” said Gandalf. “There's nothing like a Took for making trouble, but you have outdone all your family tree, my lad.”

    Pippin did not answer. At another time he would have risen to the barb, offered up the wide-eyed wounded innocence that had gotten him out of many a scrape, perhaps even found a way to slyly imply Gandalf’s culpability instead of his own – but he was sick and frightened, and something still hurt somewhere deep, something he did not want to think about.

    Pippin reckons with what Sauron left of him.

    Summary

    “Beg pardon, sirs,” ventured Sam. “But if it's the Ring you're after, he keeps it in his weskit pocket. It's just here.”

    He turned, and silence fell. The Ring gleamed on his open palm. 

    “Well!” said Gandalf after a pause, very calm.

    Summary

    Sam breathed in and out shakily and lifted Frodo's hand, pressing the palm of it against his own cheek. Elrond watched him, the desperation in his face, the determination, and something that had never quite healed tugged empty and hollow at his soul.

    He had stood just so. He had held her hand and kissed her cold fingers. He had whispered of light and hope to her fading spirit, but she had sailed in the end. For a moment he was dizzy, disoriented by the tangling of the past and future; he was holding Celebrían as she faded, a wounded halfling as he slipped into shadow; he was standing at Círdan’s side at Mithlond while half of his heart tore away–

    I cannot save him, thought Elrond; they will yet be sundered.
