Summary
A hand touches his forehead. It's rough and cool and real. The fingers are gentle even though they're bumpy with calluses. It makes his head hurt less. The burning goes away a little bit.

Summary
Something ticked in Paul’s mind as the familiar words washed through him. When he looked at John, his friend was already looking at him. And suddenly, it all became clear: He remembered having that conversation more than 50 years ago. He remembered it too well.
He had been thinking about it for years, wondering what he should have understood, how he should have reacted. If it was as meaningful as it had felt or if his memory had just romanticized it.
“I don’t think a love like that obeys to any rules,” John went on, unaware of Paul’s agitation. “It’s not something that humans have created, not like a societal thing. It’s deeper than that, and that’s what some people are afraid of I guess, because they can’t control it. Whatever laws they create, they can never control it. A white lad will fall in love with a black girl.” He paused. “A lad with another lad. You know.”

Summer 2019, 77-year-old Paul wakes up feeling surprisingly good. One tiny problem: he is back in December 1965.

Summary
Completed! Post-credits epilogue scene to come.
In life after life Link has fought, but still his kingdom burned. Only by sheer grit and a miracle has he been enough to save whatever is left. But he’s so tired, and Demise is getting stronger. Something has to change. While he has taken plenty of risks before, this one may be one of the hardest. Still, he has to try.
Legolas has lived for over two millennia in a steady routine. Grief and peril knock at their door daily, but by the grace of the Valar they have protected their peace for an Age. But then the Valar bring something else to his doorstep—a mysterious elf, and one who faces the same fate as one he loved. Even if it will shatter his peace, he too decides to take a risk. He cares.
