    Summary

    For an instant, the world tilts and swims; his breath comes in harsh gasps as he struggles to sit up, his body shaking hard enough that his teeth chatter.

    Maglor, Caranthir, and pre-Doriath nightmares.

    Summary

    The tide is rising as Maglor sets foot on the shores of Tol Himling for the first and last time. He shivers despite his woolen cloak; autumn's slow slide into winter has come earlier than expected, this year, and the sea-wind is sharp, raw, and smells of snow.

    Maglor, Finrod, memories, and grief.

    Summary

    “Do you feel yourself unwanted here?” said Melian, with what seemed to be genuine dismay. “I have heard only delight at your having chosen to stay.”

    “Unwanted may be too strong. But uninvited is also hard. Unknown. Misunderstood. And I would have more delight if Eärendil could stay too. He did not choose knowing he would have to leave.”

    “The recipients of great doom are rarely its architects,” said Melian. “None of us freely chooses our fate.”

    “Lúthien did,” said Elwing.

    Summary

    Their little band of conspirators was rich with loyalty and stout hearts, but Merry had been the one to make the preparations, to list out and discreetly purchase supplies and provisions; he was the one who had lain awake in his bed night after night in the months leading up to Frodo's departure from Bag End, making sure he hadn't forgotten anything that would be wanted.

    All his meticulous planning was being dismantled piece by piece in front of him. There was a stranger in their company. And he could not scrub the feeling of evil hands from his skin.

    Summary

    “You are being very kind to me,” he said, subdued.

    “Far kinder than you deserve, I daresay,” said Gandalf. “There's nothing like a Took for making trouble, but you have outdone all your family tree, my lad.”

    Pippin did not answer. At another time he would have risen to the barb, offered up the wide-eyed wounded innocence that had gotten him out of many a scrape, perhaps even found a way to slyly imply Gandalf’s culpability instead of his own – but he was sick and frightened, and something still hurt somewhere deep, something he did not want to think about.

    Pippin reckons with what Sauron left of him.

    Summary

    "One does not get to choose nature, trees and toes are both part of creation," he says absently, filling up the glass. "And we've already had this argument. My feet stay bare for as long as you eat in bed."

     

     

    "We've already had every argument, Elrond. We've been married for almost two and a half thousand years."

    ____________
    In TA 2510, Celebrìan asks Elrond if they could spend a weekend in the insect infested literal cabin in the woods that they had - 2500 years ago - fallen in love in, as she has something to tell him. He, of course, can never deny her anything.

    Summary

    Thara Celehar has lost his ability to speak to the dead. Awaiting instructions from the Archprelate, he is left feeling adrift and inadequate as an instructor to his student, Velhiro Tomasaran. When Iäna Pel-Thenhior comes to him with a problem that is not within his remit, he still jumps at a task he feels capable of. But when that task leads back to the story of a missing girl and a body found with her ring, it's clear he still has responsibilities to the dead of Amalo, even if he can no longer hear them.

    Summary

    At last someone – he did not later recall who – informed him that Maglor would not be returning from Mandos. Maglor had never died; and, as far as anyone knew, he wandered Middle-earth yet, although the Grey Havens were long since abandoned and no ship had sailed the Straight Road for many Ages of the Sun.

    -

    Returned to life, Maedhros tries to come to terms with Maglor's absence.

    Summary

    "I was healed, they told me. As ready as a soul could be." Bitterness laced through Finrod's words and he drew the robe close about him once more. "In what way is this readiness? Is there no longer healing in Námo’s halls?"

    Immediately after his reembodiment, Finrod shuts himself within his chambers and allows none but his mother to come near. When Eärwen is called away, Finarfin must navigate his grief at this new separation and both father and son wrangle together with the toll the First Age has left upon them.

    Summary

    Glorfindel comes to Rivendell, gains a squire, and tests himself against both his memories of the past, and an enemy of the Third Age.

    A story for Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang, inspired by art 102, a truly magnificent portrait of Glorfindel by Sempermoi, which you'll find embedded in this work. Many thanks to Quente for a very helpful beta read.
