    Summary

    Ten years after the Dagor Bragollach threw the northern siege works of High King Curufinwë Fëanáro into chaos, Beren son of Barahir comes to Nargothrond seeking aid in an impossible quest. When he leaves, it's with three lords of the Noldor in tow.

    ('Of Beren and Lúthien,' two steps to the left. Technically the same 'verse as an old oneshot, but can be read as a standalone.)

    Summary

    “I am,” Palamedes said through the recorder, pointed as a toothpick, “inside your body, Camilla. I can feel your headache. I tried to stand and almost fainted, because it turns out you’re so orthostatic it’s a miracle you can even sit up, I can’t look at food without feeling like I’m going to be sick, and I’d say you’ve only got about 60% of the required blood volume — and that’s a conservative estimate.”

    Yikes.

     

    or: After the beach incident, Camilla struggles more than she lets on. Palamedes wants to help.

    Summary

    It might have been a short story, a simple one. Two princesses: one dark, one light. A noble knight, pure of heart. Love requited, love spurned. A prophecy. A curse.

    But only young rivers run straight. Told enough times, a tale wears at its boundaries, begins to twist and bow and braid…

    Summary

    The first letter Essek receives from Caleb Widogast is secreted into his pocket at some point during a tense interview with the Bright Queen. For the life of him, Essek cannot figure out how it was done. He doesn’t recall so much as brushing against the other man as he escorted the Mighty Nein out of the Lucid Bastion.

    Yet when he returns to his office, there it is, tucked into a nearly invisible pocket in his mantle — a piece of subpar parchment folded to vaguely resemble a cat’s face with tiny pointed ears.

    Summary

    Fingon visits Himring with a warning - and also, just to visit.
    ~
    Written as a birthday present for a beloved friend who has not read the Silmarillion, but does read my stories and has listened to me talk about elves enough to request something happy for Fingon and Maedhros. Happiness is not what I usually traffic in, and somehow I mostly thought about dragons instead - but I did try :)

    Summary

    “Wei Ying?”

    Wei Wuxian automatically glanced at Lan Zhan, but Lan Zhan wasn’t looking at him. He was staring at the purple robed stranger, shock written all over his face. Wei Wuxian grabbed Jin Ling and circled around.

    “Lan Zhan,” the figure said. People didn’t tend to have the experience of hearing their own voice the way it’d sound to other people, but Wei Wuxian supposed that that was the least of his concerns right now.

     

    A Wei Wuxian who's the sect leader of Yunmeng Jiang is displaced into this world. Wei Wuxian, ex-Yiling Laozu and current husband of Hanguang Jun, has unexpected feelings about it.

    Summary

    It was not with heavy heart that Paladin Took approached the Bird's Nest. But his ribs might've been weighty and his liver positively annoyed, and not just from the many fine ales and finer wines he'd consumed throughout his life. It was that damn Lotho again, Lotho Sacksville-Baggins from up Hobbiton way with his air and his Big Men—well, two could play at that game! And if anyone was going to be calling themselves "Chief" in this day and age, it would be the right and proper Thain of the Shire!

    His blood up, he knocked rather hard on the oversized door. "Maggie! Are you in there? Open up!"

    Summary

    Three years from the end of the novel, Wei Wuxian continues to live freely, albeit quietly, resigned to keeping silent amidst continued hostility from Yunmeng Jiang, and the cultivation world at large. However, as old grievances tighten around him, threatening to ensnare him in a plot to put him to trial, he and Lan Wangji must find a way to defend his actions. Jiang Cheng turns out to be an unexpected ally. This turn of events may very well force them to confront the wrongs they have committed against each other, and apologize for past feuds.

    Alternative summary: Am I The Asshole? Yunmeng Jiang loyalists plot to have Wei Wuxian publicly labeled as The Asshole. Jiang Cheng is bewildered, seeing as he thinks that The Asshole is himself. In other news, when you’re both bad at talking about feelings, mutually unrequited forgiveness happens.

    Summary

    “Your large adult son is in my guest-room,” Orodreth said, “offering considerable critique as a High King of the Noldor on how I handled the Túrin Turambar affair, and ruthlessly re-organising my entire household, and since I had to tell him I was not, in fact, his father, his closeness with my daughter is beginning to disturb me. Please take him away.”
