    Summary

    Elros recalls the journey from Sirion to Ossiriand and the early days with Maedhros and Maglor. He and Elrond struggle to cope, yet there are new discoveries and small joys still to be found.

    The year I turned six I lost my first tooth. The very next day a particularly vicious turtle bit Elrond’s toe and refused to let go no matter how loudly he screamed or how fearsomely I scowled with my newly gapped grin. Mother’s casual remarks regarding twin and peredhel growth turned into anxious debates with the remaining Doriathrim around that time, as the differences between my brother and I began to assert themselves. No one knew quite what to expect of us. Elrond showed no signs of loosing any of his teeth, and the few souls brave enough to bring up Eluréd and Elurín swore neither outstripped the other for height, as I began to do with my twin. It was, therefore, also the year that I first learned of my uncles, frozen in time only two years older than I, and my home burned at the same hands that had torched theirs.

    Written for the SWG's Great Beleriand Bakeoff Challenge: Olive Bread (19th Dec) Prompt.

    Summary

    When it became known that Frodo and Sam had been captured and that Sauron had obtained the Ring, the three holders of the Elven rings, decided to confront the dark Lord one last time.

    The chances had been slim—almost nonexistent—but what else could they have done? Wait in Imladris and Lothlórien for their doom? Wait for Sauron to break down their doors and slaughter their people in their own halls?
    They had waited long enough. The Fellowship of the Ring had failed, the companions scattered, dead, or missing. There was no hope left for Middle-earth—only this desperate attempt, this single chance against millions.
    And they had failed.
    „Give me Vilya.“

    Summary

    Of course, Elrond was nothing but a mass of contradictions. He was Fëanorian, and yet not a kinslayer; he was Dior’s grandson, yet treated him as a son; he could well prove to be cruel despite his kind veneer. Logic suggested he should run from any Fëanorian as fast as he could. But if he ignored his hatred of the Fëanorians and looked at Elrond as a person, he found he liked what he saw. He had been honest with Dior from the start, even when it would have been more convenient for him to lie; he was patient; and he seemed kind and gentle. More than any elf he had ever met, he reminded Dior of Beren.

    Elrond retrieves Dior, Elurín, and Eluréd from the Halls of Mandos in the Fourth Age and helps them adjust to life in Valinor as half-elves.

    Summary

    On a pleasant day in Valinor, a re-embodied Fëanor visits Sam. It turns out that Sam, without realizing he did it, played a key role in setting Fëanor and his sons free from the Void. Fëanor has a lot to say about it.

    Mostly, though, they just drink tea and talk about their families.

    Summary

    Glorfindel looks steadily into Elrond’s face. His smile is glorious and kind, golden flowers on snow-beaten stone.
    “You are young, Son of Exile,” he says, and there is nothing offensive in it, not in any of the layers of meaning.
    “This is not Gondolin. Nothing you have built in this new Age was carved out of a prophecy of its fall.”

    A study of Elrond and Glorfindel, told as a patchwork of moments throughout the long years of their friendship. Inevitably also a study of new beginnings, bravery and hope.
