swan song by TheChasm for bowl_of_borscht

Summary
Elwing was her name — an odd name, to go with certainly the oddest person we had ever met. The tower she dwelt in was tall and white, and lay some miles to the north of our village: barely more than an hour’s walk, for two bored children in search of adventure, and yet certainly more isolated than anyone else we knew. We liked to stand one at each end of the narrow, winding staircase, and listen to the echoes of our voices ringing against the stone. At the top of the tower the stairs opened up into a little turret room, bare and simple, with a neatly made bed tucked against one wall and a small clay oven beside the other. That was, at first, the main draw: for Elwing was a prodigious baker, and generous with the fruits of her labour. When first she sighted us playing on the cliffside she gave us warm sweet pastries flecked with nuts, and many times after a loaf or two of fresh bread — to carry home to our mother, she said, although more often than not it had disappeared by the time we arrived.

In the Second Age, Elwing tells two Telerin children a fairytale.

Summary
This is a reference guide intended to help writers of Regency-era stories by providing a quick place to check whether a certain phrase was in use in the era, and if so, how it was used. The earliest attestation dates of phrases that postdate the Regency era might also make this guide useful to writers of neo-Victorian fiction.

Summary
"Look at this, I wanted to tell the world. Look at this heron, this bird who carries the entire universe in its eye and still chooses to look at me. Chooses to count Fingon, the vicar's son, within the expanse of its gaze. What a tragedy it is that we human beings are born with so much love to give, then forced to live lives too small and sparsely furnished to ever accommodate more than a fraction of it. How devastating that we spend our earliest years learning how to fence away and leave fallow the most promising fields of our hearts."
_________
British India, 1930s: early days of the ancient friendship turned lifelong love affair between notorious political gangster Comrade Maedhros Fëanorian and dance-master Fingon, the local vicar’s son.

The Journal of the Galactic Civil War
68 ABY"Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station." - Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin
"The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." - Senator Leia Organa
A more rigorous examination of the events of 0 BBY will show that, while the year is just as pivotal to Galactic history as it usually assumed, the emphasis has often been misplaced. In truth, while the Death Star project did prove to be central to the Galactic Empire’s undoing, the fatal blow came not from DS-01’s destruction at the hands of Luke Skywalker, but from the political implications of the project writ large. It would be going too far to say that the Battle of Yavin was irrelevant, but it would be accurate to say that by the time the Battle Station arrived in the Yavin System, the balance in the Galactic Civil War had already irrevocably shifted, though in ways that would not become apparent for months and years to come.

It was true, Cosette allowed, that he was nothing at all like the beautiful young man from the Luxembourg, but she must not judge him unkindly for that. The world was full of young men, and it would be quite tedious if all the handsome ones were handsome in the same way.

Summary
Celegorm, once beloved by the Powers, watched the wand be raised in King’s hand, and then the strings pulling his arm, and his gaze went through the stone ceiling of Nargothrond and above the ground and above the trees and rested finally on the Hunter’s hand, high, high, high above.
((The oft-promised Mabinogion Fic has arrived. In this fic, Celegorm and Curufin are forced into the roles of Gwydion and Gilvaethwy from Math fab Mathonwy. Explanations within. MIND THE TAGS.))

Summary
Elrond hears a call in the waters of the Bruinen and follows it to the sea. There he finds someone whose memory he has long ago put behind him, but whom he knows at once — only Maglor does not know him. As he revisits his past with Maglor, both painful and fond, Elrond must also reckon with Maglor’s loss of memory. How do you forgive someone who does not remember what he has done?

Summary
Baze laughs, a hard bark of a laugh. She grabs Chirrut’s ankles and manages to drag Chirrut a few feet. Chirrut's fingers rake trails in the earth. Some of the dirt gets between her teeth. Bitter. She spits.
So Baze wants to be like this? Fine. Chirrut can get rough and dirty, too. With all her strength, she pushes her arms off the ground and jabs her legs forward, her ankles breaking free from Baze's grip, and her feet plant themselves into Baze's stomach, knocking the wind out of her. And before Baze can recover, she swings her now free foot into the back of Baze's knee, twisting her body, eel-like, bringing Baze to the ground.
It's Chirrut's turn to laugh.
They wrestle, tangled up, legs and arms thrashing, shrieking. A dishonourable fight, all the sifu would agree. They grab at each other's heads but neither have sufficient hair for the other to tug on. Until Chirrut catches Baze's left ear and pulls it hard and Baze yells in rage.
----(Or Baze and Chirrut, sitting on a wall.)
