    Summary

    F.A. 15. At Glóin's funeral, Thranduil has a surprising tale to tell.
    ---
    “Your choice to attend the funeral is honourable.”
    Bold of you to come. You held him captive once, and now you claim the right to mourn him among his people. Ludicrous.
    “It is only fair that I pay my last respects to the father of my son’s consort.”
    Why don’t you show some respect, as well? You are not half the Dwarf that Glóin was. Stop acting as if this day was for you, as if I came to see you.
    ---
    “Well. If they endured all of this, maybe they really are made for each other, as they like to claim.”
    “Indeed, Master Dwarf. Perfectly matched hotheads.”
    “Stiff necks.”
    “Reckless.”
    “They do make a good couple, though.”
    “I absolutely refuse to answer.”
    ---
    "That night we realized three things; first, this world was really changing, and for good maybe. [...] Second, we were responsible for bringing into the world the most inconsiderate, thick-headed groundbreakers ever seen on Arda. [...] And third. Someday, I was going to be the only one left with such responsibility to bear."

    Summary

    Chapter 2 added: now complete!

    Bodies, sex, gender, culture, politics: everything is different between them, and nothing fits.

    I like it, Legolas thinks. How he looks, how he is. And it’s just too strange a thought to handle.

    Summary

    ”It was not the fault of the Dwarves that the friendship waned,” said Gimli.

    “I have not heard that it was the fault of the Elves,” said Legolas.

    “I have heard both,” said Gandalf; “and I will not give judgement now. But I beg of you two, Legolas and Gimli, at least to be friends, and to help me. I need you both.”

    Summary

    Dwarves do not always know when they have found their one mate—so if they separate without realizing it, their bodies have a quick-acting and unpleasant way of alerting them: the amral barzûlegûr, or lovesickness. No one knows what effect such an illness might have on another race—in all the known history of dwarves, such a thing has never happened before. Until now.

    When Legolas and Gimli each fall inexplicably ill after parting to return to their homes, their families must find out what’s wrong—and must reunite them before it’s too late.
