    Summary

    Maedhros Fëanorion died as the First Age died, falling with his Silmaril into a chasm of fire rent within the earth, forever lost. That is the tale that has always been told. That is what everyone has always known.

    Two ages of the world later, on the plains of the Pelennor Fields as the battle slowly dies around them, the Fellowship find out that the story they've heard isn't quite true.

    Summary

    Dying and coming back to life for a second time should have been more surprising. Harry Potter merely sighed in exasperation and moved on.

    Death at thirty was not something he was entirely happy with, but he had lived a lot longer than he could have hoped for at fifteen years old. Waking up after was annoying, but in such a chaotic situation he could only roll with it.

    Having a wizard with a whisper of Destiny about him wondering about Harry's existence in this wild new world was bad enough, but to these people he was considered a child. Nope, he was not going to be staying with them.

    Harry Potter had not been a child in a very long time; he would not start acting like one now.

    OR

    Harry Potter crashes into the Company of Thorin Oakenshield in Goblin Town, finds out he’s now an elf-child, coming back to life after death is a fact of elf-life, Music equals Magic, and dark lords are a universal constant whenever and wherever magic is involved.

    Summary

    Patterns and echoes of what she knew was supposed to happen - she could see them everywhere. She was what was wrong in the picture, the thing that shifted everything and caused devastating changes, and yet even then the weave of history showed a similar image to what she had expected.

    Being reincarnated into the body of an Elf, growing up in Rivendell, it had always sounded like a dream to her. It was both a dream and a nightmare. Love and grief were inseperable for her, even when she was surrounded by people who were supposed to be immortal. The future loomed menacingly ahead, promising war, love, and even more loss.
    She didn't want it. She wanted freedom to choose her own fate, and she wanted the freedom to explore Middle-earth.
    What would you do with three thousand years? Well, she certainly wasn't going to spend them sitting in Rivendell.
