Summary
Now, it was a year after the Second Wizarding War, and though the tradition had waned over the years since there hadn't been time amidst the war looming over them, to make time for any of their traditions. But this year, they were prepared and ready. He and Remus had come too far to think about what they'd missed during the recent years—it had been eighteen years since they'd lost Lily and James, and the thought ached—but the presence of a lively house filled with the people he loved worked to alleviate the ache by quite a bit.
Sirius and Remus embark on some old traditions.

Summary
"Those who remain move through quieter streets, and tend to houses which now stand empty. They tend ailing blossoms in daylight, in gardens beholden to the sun. And Finarfin tends to them in turn, this king of circumstance, this lord of loss."
_________Finarfin encounters a persistence of bees.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins would, upon his first visit to Elrond's valley, mention Celebrían in passing. How when he was three or four years old, he had fallen right near The Old Forest and had been crying, and the Groundswallow turned up, pressed a finger to the earth beside him and brought him out a little present right out of the soil.
"It wasn't a good present, mind you," Bilbo had said, wrinkling his nose at the memory. "It was an egg."
___
This is the story of a world in which a wounded Celebrían refuses to sail after her capture, and confined to The Old Forest, learns to make the earth move and flowers grow beneath her fingers. It is also a love story.Bookmarked by avid_aphid

Summary
"As much as Middle Earth made him feel like something pickled in a jar, there were times Elrond felt almost too Mannish for Valinor. Like he was an invasive species, or a green and wicked little gremlin, an anxious immigrant, the resident poltergeist of their slice of paradise. But at other times, like when the moon emerged and illuminated Celebrìan in a clichè silver glaze as she stuffed cotton into her ears to block out his snoring — it was like a part of him had always lived on these shores."
-------------------------------------------
Elrond feels out-of-sorts and displaced after his arrival in Valinor. Celebrìan, and the rest of his ridiculously confusing family, attempt to help.Series
