Summary
He tries to avoid his own people. There are other elf-spirits here too, the hosts of his father still, and the host of each doomed son, but they are faint, indistinct things, not quite close enough to touch. He does not want to see them, and shifts away at each approach, and they fade further from his view, blending into the grey walls of Mandos, hazy echoes of what had been and what might be. He would be the same to them, he has gathered, and thought better of it; he does not want to exist, to them. He does not want to exist, at all. His heart is gone, and his mind has gone with it, all frozen over by the gnashing, vicious ice, the deadened sky, his dead son. Dead. One, one, likely all. They are all dead. That is why they are here.
And then Fingon appears, bleeding and blazing and broken, the fire melting away the ice coating his heart and unlatching each lock, and Fingolfin is a father again.

Summary
Thunder rips through the air again, great and booming, and Finduilas stumbles, sliding in the muck. Unthinking, her hands scramble, grasping for something to steady herself with. Dirt slides through her fingers, clumped together with the wet, and shock races through her, patting her way downward until she finds the opening to the almost-cave, hands brushing irritably against the silky, itchy, ferny undergrowth. Her wrists sting, but it doesn't matter. She's...closer, now. Closer to being safe.

Summary
Someone appeared in the doorway after one long, drawn-out moment. Punz, Niki realized. The server’s mercenary. Them. She had never paid much attention to them; they had never seemed very relevant or important. She’d only now realized that it had been a mistake, and a massive one, at that.
“You have exactly one minute to explain yourself, Punz,” Techno stated.
OR
The Syndicate gets an unexpected visitor, and no one's happy about it, but they learn some very important information and decide to do something about it.

Summary
It was a strange thing for a daughter of one’s enemy to appear on their doorstep in the middle of the night. It was a stranger thing for them to show up without guard or announcement, dressed in richness but not the colors of her house, and beg for her noble father not to be told. Maedhros truly wished she had not.
❖
Morgoth gets to Beren before Thingol can, and Lúthien refuses to stand for it. Before she can do that, though, she needs help. There are exactly three elves (and two maia) that she thinks to go in this situation.

Summary
“Of course I love you as my father too. We can fuck our way through Dagor-Dagorath and I probably still will. It’s in our nature. We construct elaborate philosophies to justify our continued proximity to what should repel us. We fear that exile from the place that houses our pain may well mean exile from the only place that understands it,” Elrond shrugs, topping up Maedhros’ glass. “What begins as temporary coexistence turns into structure, and structure eventually gets mistaken for inevitability. Love grew, we say, as little might be thought. It is much the same now. We tell ourselves we've transcended, that our presence here, together and redeemed, represents evolution rather than a lack of alternatives. Aman offers me no exit from Middle-Earth, only a deeper room in the same house. With only squatter’s rights to boot.”
—Elrond arrives in Aman, finds that Elwing, Maglor and Celebrían have been intimate for centuries, seeks sexual solace with Maedhros, and ends up navigating the waters between endurance and complicity. Or: what do the children of atrocity owe those who perpetrated it, and what happens when survival becomes indistinguishable from desire?

Summary
Six months before the ascension of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect’s current Peak Lords, the System mysteriously glitches. This definitely has nothing to do with the recent pollen-fueled mission detour that Shang Qinghua can’t remember.
Right? Right?

Summary
It’s as Shen Qingqiu crushes the last little fluttering Iridescent Gem Beetle that the mother decides to introduce herself by burrowing up out of the earth like a cicada the size of an elephant. He just barely has time to resign himself to an even more exhausting fight than the last one - with no rest point in between to chug stamina potions or anything! Honestly, what poor game design! - when the stranger appears.
He charges into the scene out of nowhere like an absolute bullshit deus ex machina, all dark, flowing hair and robes, whirling around to stab at the Mother Beetle with a gleaming white sword, making it screech and rear back in pain. Seriously, Shen Qingqiu feels like he’s suddenly trapped in a video game cutscene introducing the new companion! Where’s the background music and camera close up? Who is this guy?
-
Shen Qingqiu happens to meet a mysterious stranger on the road, but he surely isn't important or relevant to the plot in the slightest.
