Summary
“Oh Elrond, you and I have lived long enough to know that ordinary people arrive at extraordinary cruelty by forgetting the past in perfectly reasonable increments as they plan for the future. I fear that the descendants of two children found sobbing beneath a bed amidst the ruins of their birthplace may one day come to lay waste to the cradles of another’s civilisation.”
___________________In Fourth Age Gondor, King Elessar is set to unite the Harad city-states under the banner of the White Tree, whilst Arwen struggles with her father’s legacy and her own mortality. But as the date for the surrender and subsequent transfer of power draws nearer, a Haradrim campaign of resistance and subterfuge ramps up in Minas Tirith, and with Maglor Fëanorian’s unexpected appearance in the city, the descendants of Elrond and Elros Peredhel find they can no longer ignore the reopening wounds of First Age Beleriand.
A story of Harad and the West, from the Union of Maedhros to the King’s Peace of Gondor.

Summary
Once, in infancy, he was their child-king to be, heir of Elu Thingol and Lúthien Tinúviel and Dior Elúchil. Now, he is an open wound. They love him, they welcome him, they are as kind as they can be, but a thousand little things about him make them flinch. Inheritors of a culture lost and burned and fragmented, they can never take a king who constantly reminds them of their enemies.
The immediate foes outside him, the servants of Angband, are easy to fight. His other enemies are inside him, have made him one of them, and he cannot escape.

Summary
"Would you do it again?" Elrond dares, his voice breaking on the question. "If you could go back, knowing everything—would you still jump?"
Elwing is quiet for a long moment.
Then she turns to him, face carefully composed, her voice near-inaudible: "What was the bride-price you named for your daughter, Elrond?"
_____________The story of a monumental choice that shaped the life of Elrond Peredhel, told in seven unanswered questions, and an eighth asking to be understood.

Summary
Celebrimbor had shoved all the furniture to one side, and so far had covered one-and-a-half sides of the room with chalk sketches and equations in the cramped tengwar he reverted to when drafting.
Annatar took it all in at a glance. “That is quite a contraption you are designing.”
OR: Celebrimbor invents a thing, Annatar helps, and both of them staunchly refuse to acknowledge it might be a metaphor for anything. Certainly not their relationship.

Summary
It was thus in every new meeting with every figure out of legend: all of them celebrated him and honored him, and told him over and over how valiant they thought him, and all the while Frodo felt less and less at ease with every encounter. Tonight, at an evening gathering of feast and music, he found himself ducking into a side room to escape the Hall of Song. Just his luck that the room he escaped to turned out not to be empty.
Or: A conversation between Celebrimbor and Frodo in Valinor in the Fourth Age.

Summary
Valinor was every bit as beautiful as the songs promised.
Its streets glittered with the dust of diamonds, gleaming under the radiant light of a sun that shone brighter, purer over the hallowed lands than it ever had over Middle-earth. The peaks of the Pelori, soaring and snowcapped, loomed pristine in the distance, mocking her with every glimpse. These were not mountains that had ever known the tread of an orc's foot, nor suffered spilt blood or harrowed screams. Even the sands of Eldamar were white and silken underfoot, nothing like the abrading grit of the beaches of Belfalas where her mother had once reigned.
Celebrían hated it.

Summary
Perhaps the strangest thing in his grandson’s war camp was Gwindor.
The former thrall of Angband, missing both a pinky and an eye, was the first thing anyone noticed when they approached the young High King. He stood at Gil-Galad’s right hand, the head of the king’s personal guard, a presence as steady as the steel at his hip. There was nothing ceremonial in the way he carried himself, no courtly bow, no polished armor. He looked like a man who had walked through fire and come out the other side knowing exactly how much of him the flames had taken.

Dr. Lawn has laid it out to him thus: if he walks using the cane, it will wear away his hip, and warp his spine, and may well weaken his game leg. If he does not walk at all, his muscles will weaken and atrophy. Walking without the use of the cane is not yet available for consideration.

Really, Granta should know by now not to do favors for Sith. However, the fact that this one landed him with a de-aged Jedi Shadow in his care and Mandalorian Crusaders out for his head seems like something even he couldn't have predicted.

Summary
[“This just lists one male elfling, aged two years.” Fingon peers over the top of the parchment form dubiously, one brow arched as if inviting Maedhros to let him in on the joke any time now. “I thought you said this was a list of what I’d be getting in Himring’s back taxes.”]
In which Maedhros gets very creative about paying taxes after the Bragollach destroyed Himring's coffers. Everyone suffers.
