Summary
Three years after the fall of Sauron, Dwarves of Erebor labor to restore the stone of the White City. As leader of their delegation and friend to the new King of Gondor, Gimli son of Glóin is tasked with presenting their plans to the skeptical Council of Builders that oversees all construction in Minas Tirith. He must convince them of the merits of dwarven designs without revealing too many secrets of dwarven stonework, a delicate balance that he has learned to walk with care; yet in the process, he inadvertently gives away more than he means to about more private matters.

Summary
In the wake of Aragorn's supposed death on the way to Helm's Deep, Gimli and Legolas seek for comfort amidst their grief—and ultimately find it, as they ever do, in one another.
Eventually Legolas said quietly, "Men go on."
"Go on where?"
"Beyond the circles of the world," Legolas said. "No one knows where; or at least, the elves do not. All we know is that they go, and they do not return."
Gimli nodded. "They do not come back," he said, and understanding began to dawn.
"No," said Legolas. "No, they do not." Another long, waiting silence fell; again, it was Legolas who broke it, asking very quietly, "Do dwarves?"

Summary
“You’re awfully protective of the dwarf. Do not think I don’t see why. I suppose I must give your father the specifics, that he might have a full picture of his son’s disgrace,” the elf sneered.“Do you whisper sweet nothings in the daytime, and lust after the hairy beast at night?”
Oddly, Gimli was not as enraged as one might suppose. Oh, he hated the Mirkwood messenger with every fiber of his being, but he was far, far too interested in what Legolas was going to say to take up his axe and demand satisfaction.or...
Gimli overhears a messenger of Thranduil talking with Legolas and saying some very nasty things about him. Naturally, Legolas jumps very passionately to his defense...
