    Summary

    A healing song weaves itself into the broken fragments of dreams that Elrond navigates. He feels weightless and heavy as stone and iron all at once. It’s a song he knows though this voice is of a stranger. It is ancient, the foundation of the healing songs he learnt as a boy but without ages of change.
    “Rest now.”

    Elrond's attempt to flee Lindon with the three rings fails and he doesn't make it to Círdan. Instead he is found, broken and bloody, and taken to Mordor and the Lord father of the uruk. Desperate, Elrond takes a leap of faith and seeks an alliance in order to save not just the elves, but all Middle Earth.

    Summary

    He finally stopped across the bar top from her. “If you’re busy having a crisis, I can come back,” he offered, his curious amber eyes fixed on hers. “One hates to impose.”

    She snorted, looking up at him through the shock-white hair that had fallen loose from her bun during her sulk. “Does one?”

    “Oh,” he deadpanned, shaking his head, “most assuredly.”

    With Baldur's Gate rebuilt and her friends scattered to the winds, Tav decides to settle down as a tavern keeper and relax into a quiet retirement of serving drinks and spinning stories. Unfortunately, every single one of her new neighbors seems to think she's untrustworthy at best and terrifying at worst.

    Every one, that is, except Rolan.

    Summary

    Elrond nodded smoothly. “I would be pleased to manage the construction projects in both Lindon and Imladris. If you…would prefer to avoid, ah, similar distractions from the stonemasons' council in the future.”

    Gil-galad looked back to the sketch Elaniel had left. He admired the rough outlines, seeing charcoal prints where her fingers had smoothed out dark lines.

    You are three weeks too late. I am already more than distracted.

    “No need,” Gil-galad said softly. “The distraction is not…wholly unwelcome.” He inhaled and gently set the sketch down, turning to face Elrond fully. “A life without distraction would be tedious, I suspect. I would not know, of course. But I suspect.”

    ---

    Elaniel, a stonemason fleeing the fall of Eregion, makes her way to Lindon - and Gil-galad. Amid the chaos of preparing for a war against Sauron, their growing love is tested by the weight of duty: his to lead armies into peril, hers to rebuild what darkness has destroyed.

    The pull of two fëa is strong for the Eldar. But is duty stronger?
