    Summary

    I knew already that I would do anything Maedhros asked of me. I had found that out in Angband.

    Summary

    Eru moves to make light out of darkness, to take wrong and make right, to weave new harmonies out of dissonance.

    Or: Beleriand has driven them all a little mad, Angband or not.

    Summary

    “It’s become tediously clear that the staring isn’t going to stop. Father and Fingolfin fighting didn’t stop it, though loyalty alone should have been enough to quench it. Twelve years of exile only made it worse. It was too dark to see on the night we swore the Oath, but I would still wager Caranthir anything he wanted to stake that you were making eyes at Fingon across the square nonetheless. Well, Father’s dead. So’s Fingolfin, if you were holding back out of fear of him. Home’s gone, and we can’t go back. What could possibly be standing in your way now but want of courage?”

    “My way to,” Maedhros began. Then he stopped, breathed in through his nose, and said, “I’m not in the mood to entertain you trying to be clever, Curufin. Go away, and try not to stab anyone as you move through the room.”

    A little light politicking between brothers and cousins.

    Summary

    "Why Russandol, though?" Fingon said. It was just Coppertop, which was accurate—Maedhros was very redheaded—but not exactly exciting, or adventurous, or romantic.

    "Or, I mean, Russo, if you like," said Maedhros, which was worse, because that was just calling him Red. You might as well say Ginger. Extremely unromantic.

    Summary

    "Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”

    “No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing.

    Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”
