    Summary

    The Royal Historical Society seeks from all those who once worked with him a reminiscence of James Dunworthy, lately retired at the peak of his eminence, and I believe the time has come at last for me to give mine. “After all,” as my young friend Selena Jardine said when I asked for her legal advice, “it’s not actually libelous. And I suppose no one but me will be harmed at this stage.”

    *

    In which Hilary Tamar kidnaps a child from the Middle Ages; and other academic crimes which are, properly considered, James Dunworthy's fault.

    Summary

    “Sauron held up a mirror,” Finrod says. “Clear as Aeluin! I had all my bonds broken for me before I entered his halls. Blood was not bond enough, nor fealty; friendship died in the frost, and oaths-- I am a free elf at last, not countryman, not king, not son, not husband, not brother. No aid to the Beorings, at the last. No true friend to you.” There, in the darkness; the low sound, the wolf’s breath. “Only the last bond is left, that keeps me in my skin…”

    “And the manacles stapling you to the wall,” Andreth says, dry, and the walls of Tol-in-Gaurhoth vanish. Finrod is left blinking, hard, against the sudden accession of light.

    “Actually,” he says, “only one is attached to the wall.”

    Summary

    In which Rose and Kanaya do summer things and buy a nice hat.

    “I don’t believe I would be remiss in implying, if you are willing to brave the incidental witticism, that you have a shine about you.” She grabs Kanaya’s hand.

    “Clever,” Kanaya says. “We will pretend that didn’t just come out of your mouth.”

    Summary

    Sometimes your life gets flipped like a table when a meteor smashes into a mountain, murderous bugs move into your backyard, and a rainbow drinker breaks into your house. It’s (probably) not your fault that any of this happens, but it (probably) is your fault for reacting to it by rigging your cat's mausoleum with hidden cameras. Or: Rose Lalonde the Vampire Slayer.
