Summary
She had begun to hope for a different future. She had thought that maybe, just maybe, Winter could rid her of her demon and she could truly live a normal life. She had dreamed of having children, of seeing Vordan prosper under her role, and most of all, she had dreamed of growing old with Marcus.
She had allowed herself to hope. And now those hopes have turned to ashes and dust in her heart, because Winter is dead, Infernivore is gone, and Raesinia is still here.- Language:

Summary
After the events of the Solitary Cyclist, Watson fixates on his own mistakes and wonders if Holmes might be better off without his assistance. Holmes is quick to correct this misconception and make sure his doctor knows just how badly he needs him by his side.
Inspired by a moment in the Granada episode, but can be read as any version of Holmes that you prefer. Rated E for brief sexual content but this is not a smut fic.

Summary
In the war camps of Beleriand, Finarfin assembles the missing pieces of his family’s history; assembles the bits and pieces that make not-regret calcify into something jagged and uncomfortable, where it makes a home beneath his breastbone.
He meets men whose ancestors used to march beneath his son’s banner. Most of their house, too, is decimated now, a strange, hollow kinship that Finarfin wants to flinch from, and that they weather as they bend their knees to him, seeing someone other than Finarfin. He meets victims of his nephews’ terror; meets those who are left of Fingolfin’s people, of Fingon’s, of Turgon’s. Learns how they passed, each of them falling to blazing heroics and bristling despair, and wonders how any of them are ever meant to return from this. How these serrated, brittle remains of a devastated land are meant to be spit out into Aman’s idle serenity, and not break the world all over.
Finarfin, the War of Wrath, and the price it demands.

The thing is, Death likes this world. He’s taken an interest, and is there any way that Susan would mind keeping an eye on the child? Keep him upright, and all that.
It’s just until the apocalypse passes, Susan tells herself.And then she meets the American.
