    Summary

    Celegorm and Curufin, desperate and afraid for Celebrimbor's fate, take up an offer from Namo. They will leave the Halls of Mandos into unraveled threads of the tapestry of time, and go back to a moment that put the course of their doom in motion.

    They end up back in Nargothrond, several years before Beren and Luthien come seeking Finrod's help in their quest for a Silmaril. This time around, they choose differently. This changes everything.

    (It starts with smothering a much-confused and rather-pleased Celebrimbor - and Finrod - with love and attention.)

    Summary

    Six months after Jin Guangshan's death, three young adults undertake a journey to collect the last member of their fragile new family. Three-year-old Mo Xuanyu joins his siblings - Jin Zixuan, Meng Yao and Qin Su - as they navigate their way to a future built on stubborn car-seats, rainbow sneakers, plush seals and tomato-egg rice.

    A character study disguised as a once-in-a-lifetime roadtrip. An exploration of generational trauma, imperfect healing and finding the courage to be a family.

    Told through the eyes of Jin Zixuan, this is an effort to give the Jin siblings a kinder, gentler ending than canon while acknowledging the long and difficult journey of confronting cycles of inherited pain.

    Summary

    Jin Guangshan gets Jin Guangyao out of JinLinTai almost as soon as he is recognized as his son, marrying him into the Jiang Clan in a rare, matrilineal marriage when Jin Zixuan declines to renew the XuanLi engagement.
    Jin Guangyao is panicking. Yanli is fascinated by her kind, secretive husband who has told her on their wedding night that he expects nothing from her that she is not willing to give. Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian just want to make sure that he's someone worthy of their shijie.

    With Jin Guangyao now at Lotus Pier, things change; he begins to notice that something is amiss with Wei Wuxian's cultivation. Jiang Cheng gets a politically savvy brother-in-law with some very particular insights. Yanli gets a husband who is utterly devoted to her kind heart.
    And A-Yao gets a family that he never knew he wanted.
