Summary
“It is strange, though,” says Frodo at length. It’s so quiet that Sam isn’t sure it was meant for him.
“What’s strange?” he asks after a few seconds have passed.
Frodo skims his fingers just below the surface of the water. “Being back here, I suppose,” he says, still in a soft, low tone. “I never thought….well, the last time we were here, it was beautiful, of course. But there was this dreadful business always looming over me. It never left my mind, not once. So I never got the chance to settle in and truly enjoy this place, not in the way Bilbo does. I had hoped, before, that if I did get the opportunity to come back things would be different. But it's…” he trails off. His hand hangs limply in the water. “It’s strange.”
The hobbits visit Rivendell once again on their homeward bound. Frodo tries to cope. Sam watches.

Summary
Sam breathed in and out shakily and lifted Frodo's hand, pressing the palm of it against his own cheek. Elrond watched him, the desperation in his face, the determination, and something that had never quite healed tugged empty and hollow at his soul.
He had stood just so. He had held her hand and kissed her cold fingers. He had whispered of light and hope to her fading spirit, but she had sailed in the end. For a moment he was dizzy, disoriented by the tangling of the past and future; he was holding Celebrían as she faded, a wounded halfling as he slipped into shadow; he was standing at Círdan’s side at Mithlond while half of his heart tore away–
I cannot save him, thought Elrond; they will yet be sundered.

Summary
Everything then seemed silent and slow. Blood began to surge from the stricken hand. Sam staggered back and flung his sword away, with no intention of ever wielding it again. He had done this. He could never undo it.

Or: What if Gollum hadn’t been able to save the day by biting off Frodo’s finger?

Summary
Jim's five the first time he coughs up a flower. Years later, he'll think that it was a long time coming.
For those who aren't aware (because I'm not sure how common the Hanahaki trope is): Hanahaki is a fictional disease that entails flowers blooming in a character's stomach and/or lungs as the result of unrequited love. Typically, the character either finds love that is requited or succumbs to the disease and DIES.
This is Hanahaki with a twist.

Summary
The incredible thing, the undeniably overwhelming thing, is that when it’s all over, when the haze of trying to catch the man that killed Erskine subsides and the adrenaline boils out of Steve’s system, is that suddenly he notices color.
or: Steve lives his life in tones of monochrome, until something comes to sharpen his sight into color
