    Summary

    A slave, broken and forgotten, and hopefully dead within the decade. That is what young Lindir believes to be his fate, when orcs burn his village to the ground and round the inhabitants up as prisoners.
    Then one morning, a horn sounds through the fog.

    What follows is a tale of family, of choice, and the song that unites us.

    Written for the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang 2025, for artwork #39

    Literally losing my marbles

    Summary

    The seconds dragged on, ticking by on the clock on the wall, but Scott couldn’t bring himself to call out or get out of bed. Couldn’t bring himself to do anything but lie there, hoping the day would fade away if he kept his eyes closed and pretended he was still asleep.

    Maybe he’d wake up, and the last eight years would have just been a dream.

    It was thoughts like those that only came to him in October.

    Or, Scott navigates the eighth anniversary of Jimmy's death. Etho helps in his own janky way.

    Summary

    “I want you to know that I hate everything about this.”

    Scott hums into his drink, sipping at it before throwing the whole thing back like it’s a shot. The bitter taste is enough to wake him up at least a little more. “You're here on time, at least.”

    Jimmy’s staring at him when he looks up, apron held in his hands as he squints. Scott stares back at him. “How much espresso was in that?” He asks. Scott doesn't actually know, he measured it more with his heart than his eyes.
