Summary
It was a Tuesday, and Enjolras was late for his lecture. He was late, it was raining, the buses weren’t running, and he had three papers to write that weren’t going to get done in time. It didn’t matter. The empire was falling at last, and he cared. He could see the Bastille being stormed before his eyes.
or, a meditation on the state of the United States of America in the year 2025, from the lens of Les Mis slash.

Summary
"Yet Galadriel ... remained long in Doriath and received the love of Melian, and abode with her and there learned great lore and wisdom."
From her mother, Galadriel had learned grace, composure, and how to veil the teeth of diplomacy in silk and soft words. From her grandmother, she learned when to bare those teeth. From her cousin she learned the value of will and the power of independence.
Her ambition was her own, and carefully stoked.
(And from Melian she learned nothing at all.)

Summary
His grandmother told him stories of this place: you must walk backwards into the forest if you ever wish to find your way out again. Never stray near the forest’s edge without a piece of cold iron about you. Carry salt, or certain herbs, and never speak your name aloud. The river, with its running water, would protect you. They cannot cross it.

Summary
"Maedhros, forgive me for saying it plainly: if you bound yourself to him just to bind him to this battle, then it was not well done. It was not—" the frown failed, and Maglor just looked embarrassed now, for sincerity did not suit him, "—not kind."
"I did no such thing," Maedhros said.
"But you did marry him."
"Not for this battle," Maedhros said. He smiled to himself. This memory had never been a good one before. "We have been wed these four hundred years."
