    Summary

    Works in the universe of the first oath. Those towards the end (tagged with "AU of an AU") are canon divergences within TFO - time-travel fix-its and the like.

    There is now a character guide you can peruse! It also has family trees, will eventually have a timeline, and provides chapter appearances for each character. For specific content warnings by chapter, you can also check out the chapter guide here.
    starlightwalking's masterpost for TFO.III (oaths retaken, oaths renewed) is here as well!

    Art for series is here art of the first oath.

    Summary

    “You must be very wise,” Maedhros said, his thin fingers splayed around the goblet again. “Else how could you tell they are not still in thrall to the Dark Foe?"

    “You learn it with time,” Rog said. “Some cannot hide it at all. Some hide it very well, but there are small signs that you must know how to read. Of course, you still have to be careful because you might have missed something, but I rarely choose wrong.”

    Maedhros visits Rog to ask him a question.

    Can someone go from alpha to omega without reverting to beta first?

    He will carry his child across the Grinding Ice and his only hope is that they both live long enough to have the last laugh.
