    Summary

    "Are you so frightened by me, little nephew?" Galadriel looks amused, now, instead of irritated. "No. I have no desire to rule a people that would spend their time questioning every last one of my decisions. And anyhow, you are their heir, are you not? Fingon's chosen, Finrod's lineage; inheritor of Lalwen's domain and Turgon's people. I will not take that from you. And you have done an admirable job of it, in these difficult times."

    [Gil-galad and his history, from Minas Tirith to the Havens of Sirion; from being a son of a youngest son to a scion of kings; from a crown of thorns to a crown of stars. A lesson in flowers, spears, and loving from a distance.]

    Summary

    Mages have done any number of perilous, ill-conceived, and senseless things in a bid for power. In the grand scheme of things, the Holy Grail War is barely worth noticing. Waking up monsters that should never have been disturbed may be slightly higher on the list.

    Waver Velvet is nineteen, possessed of a grudge, a relic, and a dangerously powerful desire to forge his own path. He’s going to do better than the mistakes of the past. Because if he doesn’t, it’s probably going to kill him.

    Summary

    There's a balance to tragedy and eucatastrophe. Even Marred, Arda was made with goodwill and divine grace - there is love and mercy and forgiveness even for those that would not accept it, even for those who don't yet realize they need it.

    So sometimes you get the second chance you didn't ask for.

    Summary

    it's sensory overload + PTSD time... Brought to you by noticing that Dream, in s1ep6 "The Sound of her Wings" sits with his back to the door when meeting with Hob. My PTSD-having ass made an audible wince.
