    Summary

    “He is here,” came Mithrandir’s voice. A statement, not a question. She did not turn to him but nodded, still tracing the rigging with her fingertips. “And I was wrong,” he added.

    She looked up then.

    “I did not believe there would be anything left but an impotent spirit of malice.”

    “What are you telling me?” Uncertain, searching her friend’s face for answers.

    “There will be a reckoning in Aman."

    ----------

    A tale following our favorite fated pair from the beginning of the Fourth Age to beyond the Dagor Dagorath.

    Summary

    When Elrond looks back at this time, when he speaks of it, he wonders when it was first the ring of power sensed their bond, and began to covet it.

    Or, an elven princeling falls for a dwarven prince and his princess on the precipice of tragedy.

    Summary

    Years later, Syd would read somewhere that grief was just love with nowhere to go – but for her dad, his grief and love was unknowingly going to Syd with every serving of pancakes or catfish or mac and cheese. Much of it was sad, but not entirely. It was, after all, still love. And that form of love sustained and nurtured Syd, helped her grow into her gift and into a person who was keenly attuned to the people who fed her.

    On her sixth birthday, Sydney Adamu suddenly develops the ability to taste the emotions of a person through the food they cook.

    Summary

    After the end of season 2, the elves are building a haven in what will become Imladris and gathering their armies to strike back against Sauron. The scar left above Galadriel's heart by the spike of Morgoth's crown is healing. They may have lost the battle, but they have not yet lost the war.

    And yet sometimes that scar aches. Sometimes she hears Halbrand's voice calling to her. And when two masked figures calling themselves Gaudrim arrive from Rhûn, saying they are elves of long-lost Doriath, Galadriel will not be the only one who finds healing a more complicated thing than it first appears.

    (featuring: my those-Gaudrim-are-Sindarin-elves theory, Galadriel's crown stab injury as a Morgul-wound type of thing, masks, healing, and the overlap between marriage bonds and sorcery bonds.)
