    "Míriel has recovered herself," Indis said. "She has rested long and well in the Halls of Mandos, and misses now the craft of her hands, the light of the Trees—have I guessed right?"

    Summary

    "'Death is a curse'. The words were inscribed over the dark mouth of the crypt. Inzilân accepted the lantern her attendant offered her, light flickering within glazed, frosty green glass that cast a pallid illumination over the shadowed cemetery and the thicker dark of the antechamber of the crypt. Inzilân stared into the dark, a cold touch settling on her bones. She disliked this part of her duties, disliked roaming the halls of the dead. She straightened, glad that her back was turned to the procession; it would not have done for them to see her hesitation.

    "Back straight, Inzilân entered the crypt."

    Summary

    "You worry me," Lan WangJi tells him seriously. He puts his hands on Wei WuXian's knees for lack of a better place to put them. Wei WuXian places his own hands on top of Lan WangJi's, presumably to stop him from trying again to check his bandages.

     

    "You don't need to worry," Wei WuXian says. "I swear I'm fine. I'll tell you if something feels off. You know me, I'm a huge crybaby whiner."

     

    Lan WangJi frowns at him again. It's true that Wei WuXian can be a bit of a crybaby, but only about injuries that don't actually matter. When it's something important, like a ghost curse or a fundamentally unstable necromantic practice, Wei WuXian keeps it to himself. "Ridiculous," Lan WangJi tells him. Wei WuXian grins down at him.

    Summary

    The children of elves die easily, for their souls are thinly bound to their bodies and their fate is to endure but not survive. So when faced with a young hostage he really can't afford to let fade away, Sauron is very careful not to do anything too traumatizing.

    (Mostly.)

    Luckily Feanor's grandson is an interesting child to babysit.

    Summary

    There, in the farthest ship, like a reflection at the bottom of a deep well, he saw that Elrond still brought up the rear. Implacable as the stars’ map in the night, silhouette unmistakable: sword slung over his back with its hilt-wrappings fluttering in the firestorm, one hand shielding his eyes from flying hair and ash, driving the fleet before him in the foam of Elros’s wake.
     
    Elros in the aftershock of the sinking of Beleriand, creeping realization and impending doom, and, as always, a twin brother. For the prompt: "One foot in another world"

    For even after the ruin the hearts of the Dúnedain were still set westwards; and though they knew indeed that the world was changed, they said: 'Avallónë is vanished from the Earth and the Land of Aman is taken away, and in the world of this present darkness they cannot be found. Yet once they were, and therefore they still are, in true being and in the whole shape of the world as at first it was devised.'

    Summary

    The originals of the following pages were received in a bundle, arranged in an approximate order but bound only in the temporary fashion customary for field notes in the early 1500s. I have transcribed them for your archives, though certain elements, such as the flora pressed between some of the pages or the stains on others, are irreproducible and I have noted them accordingly. The headings are mine, and the transcription also includes my commentary on some of the more obscure points in the text as well as my reproduction of the original marginalia. Although the identities of the respective authors were evident from the handwriting in the original, in this copy I have taken the liberty of inserting indications as to their identity.

    Summary

    “I had settled for salvaging what was left out of the ashes of the old world and rebuilding what had been lost,” Celebrimbor said. “But then you came, and your arrival changed everything. We have learned and achieved so much in such a short span of time. And we've indeed created a Middle-earth that is beautiful, and no less worthy for the trials it has faced. If anything, Aman is less for its perfection, because its beauty has never been tried in the way my home has been tried.”
    Our home,” Annatar amended softly.
    Celebrimbor looked at him for a few moments. "Our home," he repeated, and then, after a pause– “I am glad you chose these shores.”
    “So am I,” Annatar replied.

    On a late summer night during the golden years of Ost-in-Edhil, Annatar and Celebrimbor have a long talk about power, ambition, freedom, and forgiveness. It is the night when their shared hopes bring them closer together than they have ever been before, and it is the day when their dangerous ambition sets the events in motion that will first drive them apart and eventually destroy them both.
