Summary
“How is it, exactly, that you managed to get yourself kicked out of Estë’s gardens? Reading this does not give me the impression they sent you here because you were wholly healed.”
Celebrían, who did not feel particularly healed, but did at least feel angry, which was more emotion than she’d been able to conjure in over a year, said, “I was asking questions.”
“Ah,” said Finrod, “yes. That would do it.”
--
Celebrían prepares to mount a legal challenge for the right to see her husband (no, the other husband) reborn. For this, she must gather allies from across Valinor and out of the wreckage of the House of Finwë. Perhaps along the way, there is healing to be found too.

Summary
Centuries after the arrival of the Noldor and the Teleri in Beleriand, a celebration of Morgoth’s defeat brings the Crown Princess of Doriath and the Crown Prince of the Noldor together. To save this newborn peace from their respective fathers, they’ll do whatever it takes. Including... getting married?
Meanwhile, Lord Fingon of Himring faces the monumental task of healing Morgoth’s ills.
--
They regarded each other with quiet understanding, all the vast majesty of their respective lineages rendered unimportant by the connection between them. Music wound through the trees; harp and flute, surely joyous in context, sounded lonely in their solitude.

Summary
Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.
*
Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”
“None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”

Summary
It had ended with a parody of a wish. Astarion once would have given anything for Cazador dead. He wished it to every god that he could name. He wished it in the dark of the tomb, and he wished it in the rotting dormitories, and he wished it when people moved their bodies in his. He wished it for centuries, until the wish had become white noise to Astarion’s life.
And then, in the year 1492, the fates, laughing at Astarion, cursed him with his wish.

In which Astarion keeps resetting time to find a timeline where Wyll lives with his soul intact.

Summary
Ugh, it’s time for a High Harper meeting.
Jaheira hates going to these boring wastes of time, but misery does love company, so she drags Astarion along with her this time. Harpers are used to unusual people, after all.
This causes more problems than she anticipated; Astarion truly didn’t even do anything this time! Now the two of them need to get to the bottom of this! Time to avert another threat to the realm… poor Jaheira just can never catch a break.
Hey do you like Astarion and Jaheira interacting? Same! They banter back and forth for thousands of words here, yippee!
Also at one point he tries to sleep with her.

Summary
“So,” says Rach. “D’you think it really happened, then?”
“I think that an enterprising person may saw through a gallows' ropes if given the time, and that summer heat and rain together will rot any crop if the tarps are stolen, and that poison kills a man more surely than any stained silk, and that even if such magic existed it has never favored the powerless,” Adelina says, somewhat more bitterly than she means to. “But it is a good story.”
In which Adelina is caught in the act. This affects a few things.

Summary
The pictures leak on a lazy off-season Sunday, in that muddled bit of midafternoon Clint never knows what to do with when he isn’t training. He curls up with Lucky on the couch and naps through the end of his whole damn life. And that, honestly, is pretty much perfect.

Summary
Arthur Dayne realizes he can’t kill the man his sister loves, even when he has the man on the ground. Ashara Dayne is not going to allow her best friend’s child to die. Oberyn Martell is not allowing any more children to die in this war, especially those whose mothers his sister loved. Things spiral from there, really.
--
“Give me that,” Ashara snaps, and pries the child away from the other Northman, whose name she will later learn is Reed. To Arthur, she says, “when did he last eat?”
Arthur tells her, and before Ashara’s modesty can get the better of her, she is pulling her left arm from its sleeve, allowing the front of her dress to drop, and holding the baby in place. There is a tense moment of nothing, and then he latches on and Ashara almost cries. Eddard and Arthur are both staring at her like a woman possessed. Reed’s eyes are firmly fixed on the floor.

Summary
It figures that even half-way across the world Ilya's dick manages to ruin Cliff's day. The real surprise is that it isn't the only dick involved in this mess.
Featuring an ill-timed outing, a supportive but clueless team trying its best, panicking over Russia's LGBTQ laws, too many group chats, an unhinged 3am brainstorming session on how to get your captain a new citizenship (asking for a friend) and Roz' inability to answer his fucking phone.
Or: Ilya disappears in Sochi. Half-way across the world his team does its best to help. Their best is more than anyone could have foreseen.

Summary
Legolas the wood elf isn't terribly talkative and tends to hold himself aloof from the Fellowship for quite a bit of their journey. If only everyone knew that it was because he was guilty, anxious, lonely, and homesick. Since he doesn't tell them, though, they don't.
Or:
What really goes on in that pretty blond head, anyway? MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS?

Summary
"Our provisions run low, and this place is ill-defended and small. Here,” her junior captain announced, pointing with a filed-down claw to a town freshly inked onto their map of western Faerûn. “We will raid here.”
Reithwin, it read, and Lae'zel's breath stopped within her.
----
Lae'zel's people are at war. She is a leader among them, a dragon rider with a silver sword. It is all she's ever wanted and yet... something doesn't feel right. A conflict grows within her until she can barely remember who she is – or who she wants to be.

Summary
Prince Finrod and his entourage come to the home of Oropher. That is who they've come to visit, isn't it?
--
"Please," Idril said, offering her hand again, and though they danced only the one song, Legolas crowed about it once they were back in their room for half the night. It amused him to no end – he said – that Gimli had now, it seemed, developed a habit of befriending the most noted princesses of the elves.
"And yet I've married myself to a clown," Gimli complained, after the third or fourth such joke, and won only further laughter for his troubles.
