    Summary

    Like Curufinwë, like Carnistir, she wore anger as a mask, under which Nerdanel could see a savage wound, still dripping fresh blood.

    “They took my son,” Elwing said. “They as good as killed him, that day they chose to leave Sauron free. Just as they killed Celebrimbor, and Elros’s children, they killed Elrond too. And, having already hurt him so much, so many times, now they choose to keep him from life. For what? Because some king who knew no war thought he needed divine intervention to tell him whether or not he could fuck?”

    -

    In which Elwing discovers her son is interdicted under the Statute of Finwë and Míriel, and seeks both vengeance and assistance with the tool most immediately to hand.

    Summary

    It's hard to imagine two people more different than Maglor Smith and Andril Hope. He's a chart-topping musician from a complicated high-society family; she's a hardworking doctor with no relatives to speak of. There's no reason a chance encounter involving a crack in the sidewalk should lead to an actual friendship...

    ...except that it does.

    As the two grow closer and their lives get more entangled, Annie has a terrifying choice to make. Does her carefully constructed life have room for messy, chaotic love? Or will it bring everything crashing down around her?

    Summary

    When the Fellowship failed and the Ring was taken, Erestor did not expect to make his last stand in the valley of Imladris against a balrog of legend. He did not expect to face the horrors of the First Age while fighting side by side with his friends and the ones he considered family. And when he fell to that same balrog Erestor did not expect to wake up in a place that was impossible, in a time that was impossible, and find that the world as he knew it was completely flipped in this new reality he found himself in.

    But when Erestor found a young Elrond and a young Elros in a keep swarming with elves of legend, Erestor knew that there would be no power on Arda or beyond that would be able to tear him away from those children now. Erestor was going to keep what was left of his family safe, no matter what it took. Little did Erestor know that he has not come back alone and that the oath he swore to keep the children safe would change the course of the world he now found himself in forever.
