    Summary

    Like Curufinwë, like Carnistir, she wore anger as a mask, under which Nerdanel could see a savage wound, still dripping fresh blood.

    “They took my son,” Elwing said. “They as good as killed him, that day they chose to leave Sauron free. Just as they killed Celebrimbor, and Elros’s children, they killed Elrond too. And, having already hurt him so much, so many times, now they choose to keep him from life. For what? Because some king who knew no war thought he needed divine intervention to tell him whether or not he could fuck?”

    -

    In which Elwing discovers her son is interdicted under the Statute of Finwë and Míriel, and seeks both vengeance and assistance with the tool most immediately to hand.

    Summary

    When Thorin dies in Bilbo's arms, Bilbo decides to retreat back to the Shire and leave his new life behind in the hopes of pretending none of this ever happened. Unfortunately, Bilbo is pregnant, and he never got around to telling anyone in the chaos of Thorin's madness. He finds that the Shire is far different than he remembers, or perhaps he has changed more than he thought, and raising a baby on his own while he has become something of a pariah is harder than he expected. Then, one day, very familiar dwarves show up on his doorstep, and reveal that Thorin was never actually dead. Now Bilbo is forced to come to terms with potentially reuniting with a love he thought he'd loss with a toddler who has no idea he even has another father. For the third time in a handful of years, Bilbo must decide whether or not to make the long journey across the horizon, and if he goes, is he willing to fight to regain what he lost?

    Summary

    The thing about forgiveness, he thought, was that it was so much easier when the object of it was far away—or dead. It was so much easier to let it all go when those responsible were far away and unable to do any more harm.

    Summary

    Fëanor shrugged, studying the contents of his wine glass. “Something must be done about that house. It will fall down eventually.”
    “It does not follow that it must be you that tears it down single-handedly. Are you sure you do not want help?”
    “It’s not as though I have much else to do. I need to build something new there,” he said after a few moments. “To do that, I must first clear away the old and broken things.”

    Decades out of Mandos, too many things in Fëanor's life remain broken. He can't do anything except wait for his sons to come to him, but he can do something about the old and crumbling house where they once lived.
