Summary
On the Role of an Emperor is a book written by Edrehasivar VII Zhas (personal name Maia Drazhar) around the late 1230s AEC, though it wasn't published until after he died in 1239. It is partially a treatise on what defines a "good" emperor, and partially an autobiography discussing the process behind many important policy decisions as well as choice moments from his personal life.

Summary
Almost anything lost can be recovered, or else remade. He has not broken Celebrimbor; he knows what it looks like when someone has gone beyond repair, and this isn't that. And if there is something that has snapped, some hairline fracture on a level deeper than flesh, well—they have all the time in the world for Annatar to fix it.
or: in which Celebrimbor gives in.

Summary
There were only a few things Idra knew about the Great Avar. He was, of course, related to Idra through his father's line; a younger brother of Nemolis Drazhar, born to the scorned, unfortunate Chenelo Zhasan. That was the source of his claim to the Barizheise throne: he was the grandson of the previous Great Avar, Maru Sevrasched. He knew that his half-uncle took as his standard a prancing lion known as the Corat' Anmeir, Cruelty of the Sun, in partial tribute to his grandfather's Corat' Arhos.
It also might have been a nod to his Drazhadeise blood, which would have been bold if that was truly the intention, given that he had been disowned at fourteen.
(Or: In the fifth year of the reign of the Emperor Edrenechibel IX, the Great Avar Maia Sevraseched came to the Ethuveraz for a state visit.)

Summary
"What does it feel like, seeing an evil you have fought for so long finally vanquished?"
"Like a hole in the head," Elrond laughs, and then the words come all at once. "Can you believe it, Bilbo? I feel a loss. Loss, and lost. I do not know where to go, or perhaps I have nowhere left to go. I am turning on the spot, rootless and restless from memory to memory like a dog chasing its tail. I feel as though Arda has swallowed me whole. Perhaps I may be going mad —"
"Or perhaps you are being called home."
_________Two weeks before Arwen and Aragorn's wedding, the father of the bride (and groom, technically) wakes with a bone-deep fatigue he cannot seem to shake no matter how much he tries. Or: a study of sea-longing feat. Elrond Peredhel, who has never cared much for the promise of Valinor.

Summary
The overworked project manager on the redesign of the Imperial Lambda-class shuttle gets surprisingly competent feedback from an unknown official on Coruscant. She promptly decides that anyone bored enough to do a technical review of their own free will should be found proper employment for their own good.
Her correspondent has been missing the opportunity to tinker with machinery. It gives him something to do between hunting down rebels.
