    Summary

    He should have remembered that an enemy of an enemy need not always be a friend: he should have remembered that the Valar, too, were not his enemy. But love had a way of making people blind.

    All of which is to say that he’d stood on the steps of the House of the Mirdain, ready to defend his people, heartbroken and grieving, and he hadn’t been surprised.

    [Celebrimbor returns to life in Aman, but finds his new lease on life unwelcome: his mother refuses to speak to him, his grandmother abandons him for her own pilgrimages, and the rest of his kin seem to have spent the intervening years going steadily insane. But there is joy to be found here, too, and love, and brightness; and, at the end of all things, every Finwean has a method to their madness.]

    Summary

    “I don’t regret it,” says Aredhel quietly. “I have a son from all of this that I would never have had otherwise. I had a life that I would never have had otherwise. It was painful and it was short and it ended awfully and it was mine, mine in grief and mine in glory both.”

    [Aredhel returns to life, but finds that her son is nowhere to be found- not in the Halls, not in Lorien, not in Aman, and certainly not in Beleriand. Her search for him leads her to reconcile with family she hasn't seen since the Darkening, to fight with the Valar that she once abandoned, to rescue the kin she swore never to abide, and to defy the evil that once slaughtered her father, but Aredhel's never been one to back down from challenges, whether they be her raging mother or a rampaging Morgoth.]

    Summary

    “Here,” he whispers. “One to crown: that must be Fingon, who is the reason for the reconciliation of the Noldor. One to kneel: that must be me, obviously, to represent that I do this of my own free will and joy. And one to witness: the first and highest of the Kings of the Noldor. Using a Sindar ceremony, aiming at presenting a united front to Morgoth… every symbol makes sense. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned since arriving in Beleriand, it’s the importance of symbols.”

    Morgoth had used him as one for three decades, hadn’t he?

    [Maedhros and Fingolfin, from peaceful Aman to fell Beleriand: two courtiers to the same king, kin to one another, foes when their duties called them to it, and friends, sometimes, if one ignores everything else of their history.]
