    Summary

    History tells us that Boromir and Faramir's mother "pined away for the sea." History, however, is easily distorted...and Denethor is very good at keeping ugly secrets.

    Summary

    Denethor feels Finduilas tremble, when cloud draws once again across the light. They have lit no candle to chase away the dark, and starlight is too faint to pierce it. Yet when he goes to turn her away from the East, she does not permit it.

    In which the histories may have been wrong about Finduilas of Dol Amroth, and a withering is not always quite as it seems.

    Summary

    Some fragments of the story of Denethor, Finduilas and their sons.
    [I have updated the Rating to “Teen and Up” because the Epilogue (the last chapter) contains some mild descriptions of marital intimacy. Other than the Epilogue, Chapters 1 to 9 are suitable for General Audiences].

    Summary

    How did Denethor ever end up married to Finduilas of Dol Amroth? And given that Aragorn was in Gondor at the time, under the name Thorongil, might he not have been interested in this courtship? This romance is told partly through the eyes of each of the three individuals involved (plus Imrahil), and partly through the medium of letters between them all. First of the Steward's Family sequence. No objectionable content. By Celandine.

    Summary

    As the old year gives way to the new, all are celebrating. That is, all but one. Denethor, disgraced former steward of Gondor, sees little reason to make merry. He wishes for nothing more than to be left alone in bitterness and resentment. Gandalf, however, has other plans for him.

    Summary

    The narrator's voice cracked with heavy emotion, pleading and begging Staley to go back to the peaceful room he created.

    “My god, is this really how much you dislike my game? That you'll throw yourself from this platform over and over to be rid of it? You are literally willing to kill yourself to keep me from being happy? Am I reading the situation correctly?”

    The narrator’s heart sunk, turning his microphone off with a shaky hand he choked a sob, tears overflowing as he watched Stanley once again climb the stairs.

    How many times had he watched him do this now?

    The narrator had lost count after five.

    After every reset, Stanley had left the office each time, to the point that the narrator dreaded everytime he chose the right door.

    Bringing his hands to the microphone he activated it, shutting his eyes as Stanley plummeted to the ground.

    “Is it over? It's going to restart, isn't it. I'm going back…” His voice trembled, scrubbing at his tears as they blurred his vision to the illuminated computer screen.

    Summary

    "It was mostly by accident that Stanley found himself doing the Countdown ending. He genuinely came down here with the intention of feeling the sun on his skin, hoping it would warm him a bit, hoping that the sunbeams would melt the ice that was filling his bones. But when he found himself in front of the two buttons, he realized that the explosion would fulfill his wish just as well, if not more."

    After years of solitude in the Parable, Stanley starts to feel the effects. However, the Narrator doesn't approve of his solution, and things go from bad to worse.
    Maybe this was the wake-up call they both needed.

    Summary

    The spell seemed to break the Narrator out of his silence, though. “There it is again. The coughing. Totally unnatural in this setting, Stanley. There’s not even enough dust to irritate the average human lung – I needn’t check, I just know. Stanley, you can’t actually be...” Stanley heard a great deal of shuffling, like gathering papers and flipping through them furiously. The Narrator sounded odd. His voice was cresting near something, but Stanley couldn’t focus on it long enough to understand what.

    “Sick? You can’t be sick, Stanley. It’s not possible. You can’t eat. You-you can’t excrete. You can’t get tired. This is how it’s been – how it’s always been.”

    --

    The Narrator and Stanley have a row. Emotions are high. Perhaps someone dies in the shuffle, but it's not as though that matters. That's the purpose of resets, after all. They erase all damage ever made.

    Until they don't.

    Stanley gets sick. This is not something the Narrator is equipped to handle.

    Summary

    Mavuika, a motorcyclist determined to beat her rival Capitano in the Teyvat Championship, becomes embroiled in a mystery when she receives daily flowers from an anonymous fan after a shameful failure. As the race approaches, her rather tumultuous relationship with Capitano becomes a distraction as the Snezhnayan seems fixed on becoming her friend. Mavuika suspects he has ulterior motives.

    Summary

    “Your plan is doomed to fail,” Capitano tells her. “By trying to save everyone, you will save no one. I suggest reconsidering your position before your nation burns to the ground, solnyshko.” That last word, spoken in an unfamiliar language, rolls smoothly off his tongue.

    The soldiers behind him don't even try to stifle their disrespectful laughter.

    Mavuika narrows her eyes. “Oh, are we name calling now, Captain?” She spits his title at him with haughty venom. “That's awfully mature. What does it mean? Witch? Bitch? Or are you feeling more creative than that today?”

    Or, the five times Capitano addresses her in Snezhnayan, and the one time she understands what he's trying to say.
