    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

    Nine-Fingers Keene doesn't let her city fall to anyone - not Banites, not Bhaalists, and certainly not this army of newborn mind flayers. She takes her Ladies Court to the streets, and she goes down fighting for her city. Lady Ague doesn't intend to let her die for it.

    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.
