Summary
“When Vizieroy Mehrzād told Queen Arwen and King Elessar that the demolition of the Jud-Aman star tower of Middle Harad would be delayed by a day because the chief astronomer had thrown herself off its highest balcony, she took the news calmly, kissing Aragorn briefly on the cheek. She spent the afternoon walking in her temporary garden instead, thinking about how Elrond once told her that it had been the height of spring when Fëanorian warhorses thundered into Sirion seven thousand years ago.”

Summary
“It is not my body that imprisons me,” Maedhros said with a pointed look at the shackles around his wrists.
Sauron laughed. “You are quite mistaken. Take, for example, the – what is it your people call it? – the blossoming, I believe, is the local term; an interesting metaphor; the Sindar are of course very florally minded. It is most tiresome. Ah, I remember – opening.” He smirked. “Avoiding metaphor altogether, for of course it is an opening. There is the obvious if rather undignified physical action, of course, but what is strange to me is the effect that then has on the spirit – which opens, which yields. Therefore your body compels a subjection not merely to your own flesh but even to the flesh of another – and thus, of course, to the spirit of another. Now that is imprisonment, if you like!”

Summary
Melkor reaches out to Sauron instead of Ungoliant in concocting his evil plan. This would go well, if not for the minor detail that Fëanor is the most paranoid and stubborn person to ever live.

Summary
Centuries after the arrival of the Noldor and the Teleri in Beleriand, a celebration of Morgoth’s defeat brings the Crown Princess of Doriath and the Crown Prince of the Noldor together. To save this newborn peace from their respective fathers, they’ll do whatever it takes. Including... getting married?
Meanwhile, Lord Fingon of Himring faces the monumental task of healing Morgoth’s ills.
--
They regarded each other with quiet understanding, all the vast majesty of their respective lineages rendered unimportant by the connection between them. Music wound through the trees; harp and flute, surely joyous in context, sounded lonely in their solitude.
