    Elwing's 14 The Company of Elwing, or

    A True Tale of the Last Days of Númenor, as Never Recorded In Official Chronicles, Because While Some of the Valar Were Definitely Looking the Other Way or Even Aiding And Abetting, No One Thinks It Was All of Them, So the Truth Might Get Some People in Potentially a Lot of Trouble

    (Sometimes you become a parent way too young under terrible circumstances and you're absolutely awful at it, and by the time you're far enough in therapy you can even consider trying to make amends one of your children has left the circles of the world, so all you can do for him is put together a motley crew of family/friends/enemies and try to save his people from themselves/the gods.)

    Summary

    Circles, circles, Galadriel thinks, half-mad. In her mind's eye she sees a little girl crouch in the sand by her mother, poking at sea-shells and listening to her mother's words. The snake of her line comes to bite its tail here, in her mother's garden.

    Circles, circles
    Separations and reunions.
    The eternity ahead seems no less terrifying in its still melancholy than millennia past in their grief.

    Summary

    He looks confused at the mug she puts in his hand: one more thing that makes no sense. “What’s this?”
    “Tea. I’m not poisoning you, it’s tea.”
    “Thank you?”
    “You’re a valuable asset.”
    He lifts it to his lips and draws in the steam, a deep, shaking gulp of breath. “That’s not flattery, Kleya.”

    Kleya and Erskin, from space espionage co-workers to Yavin IV.
