Summary
Velhiro Tomasaran needs: better tea, a better salary, and friends.
Velhiro Tomasaran finds: a ghoul, a smuggler, treasures, adventure of the Imperial kind, a prince, three scholars of history, an Imperial secretary…and friends. Eventually, she even finds (and shares) the tea!
This work takes place directly after The Grief of Stones.
A/N: I did not read Tomb of the Dragons before writing this. Shockingly, some parts of this fic are so thematically in tune with TOTD that I was extremely pleased and surprised. Some parts, of course, are no longer canonical. C'est la vie.

Summary
Dior felt strangely detached, as if he had stepped out of his body. He watched himself fall over the body of the Golodh he’d slain. Dior had worn no helm nor armor that day – and he saw his hair fan out to cover them both. They died together in the dark cloak of it.
Dior’s eyes closed, and all was dark.
~
And then Dior opened his eyes.

[Dior breaks out of the Halls of Men and takes Lúthien with him.]

Summary
Elurín and Eluréd survive the second kinslaying as birds, actually.
~
Two sparrows sat upon an elm branch, sheltered and silent. They watched as a few Golodhrim emerged from the eastern gates of Menegroth, circling and calling their names. They watched when several of them found the packs, hidden as if in haste beneath a stone cairn. One of them left the packs there and went within, and soon after a tall Golodh with hair like sunset came out and stumbled to the ground beside them.
The Golodh seemed to be grieving. He clutched the packs to his chest with one hand, for the other was cut off at the wrist, and called their names; but they held still, very still.
They looked upon him and did not trust him: the Golodh’s garments were still splattered with blood, red as his hair.
The snow began to fall in earnest then, as the day faded, and the Golodh remained there, calling them until his voice was hoarse.

Summary
The rider loosed the arrow before Dior could call a warning, and so he did what he needed to without a second thought – he leapt from the bush where he’d been hiding, and yelled to startle the deer into motion.
The doe ran; the herd ran; the arrow sank into the ground behind Dior with a deep wet thwock.
And then the rider came up to him, and Dior saw that this rider too was naked.

Star of High Hope by WyvernQuill for Rosencrantz
Fandoms: The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
02 Jun 2025

Summary
"My Elf, my friend, my love, my Legolas! Long will I mourn you in silence and secrecy, and find no joy even in the greatest revelries of my people. Curse and bless the requests of Wizards in equal measure! Would that I had never known so great a loss - but then I might never have known so great a love, either, and that would have been a sorry, ignorant life indeed.”
So spoke Gimli, son of Glóin, Grave-Master of Erebor, to the Sea and the shore and all things green and beautiful, and to the Elves' star of hope, flaring into brightness overhead; for they, he felt, would understand, as none other ever could.
(Or: To lay an Elf's ghost to rest is far more complicated than Certain Wizards have advertised.)
