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.

Summary
Celebrimbor and Annatar stopped before the steps leading up to the throne, and the steward who had brought them here bowed deeply before the king. “Greetings to you, Durin, the Wise, and Father under the Mountain – my king. As you wished, I went to the gates to welcome our old friend Celebrimbor Curufinwë, and the friend he has brought with him, tidings of whom must have reached you already.”
“They have indeed. And most curious tidings they were,” Durin said, his sharp eyes roving over Annatar. The Maia was looking up at him, standing tall and proud, and as of yet had shown no inclination to either bow or kneel before him.
Slowly, Durin descended the steps until he was at eye level with his two guests, then turned so he was facing Celebrimbor. “Á-namárië, Telperinquar Cúrufinwion,” the king said in Quenya. “It has been a long time since we last saw each other. I trust you have been well.”
Celebrimbor and Annatar visit the Dwarven kingdom of Khazad-Dûm. Memories are revisited. Bonds are broken and reforged. Friendships and loyalties are put to the test as cultures clash and worldviews waver. In the end, more than one lesson is learned by everyone, and not all of them without pain or sorrow.

Summary
“I want to know you,” Celebrimbor said. “You and all that there is to you.”
Beneath his hands, he felt Annatar tense, his skin growing colder as if every part of him, including his blood, wanted to withdraw from Celebrimbor’s touch.
“You don’t know what you are asking for,” Annatar said quietly.
“Perhaps not,” Celebrimbor replied. “And yet this is what I want. You have offered me so much over these years: unnumbered gifts that you gave freely, that I did not even need to ask for. So let this be the first, the last, and the only thing I ask for myself.”
Let me in. Let me know you. Show me who you were, before you came to me. Let me know all that is ancient and primordial, terrifying and incomprehensible about you. Show me the god beneath the face of the man. Permit me to know you as you truly are.On the eve of the creation of the Great Rings, Celebrimbor makes a dangerous request and history changes forever.
