Summary
Once, in infancy, he was their child-king to be, heir of Elu Thingol and Lúthien Tinúviel and Dior Elúchil. Now, he is an open wound. They love him, they welcome him, they are as kind as they can be, but a thousand little things about him make them flinch. Inheritors of a culture lost and burned and fragmented, they can never take a king who constantly reminds them of their enemies.
The immediate foes outside him, the servants of Angband, are easy to fight. His other enemies are inside him, have made him one of them, and he cannot escape.

Summary
"Would you do it again?" Elrond dares, his voice breaking on the question. "If you could go back, knowing everything—would you still jump?"
Elwing is quiet for a long moment.
Then she turns to him, face carefully composed, her voice near-inaudible: "What was the bride-price you named for your daughter, Elrond?"
_____________The story of a monumental choice that shaped the life of Elrond Peredhel, told in seven unanswered questions, and an eighth asking to be understood.

Summary
Celebrimbor had shoved all the furniture to one side, and so far had covered one-and-a-half sides of the room with chalk sketches and equations in the cramped tengwar he reverted to when drafting.
Annatar took it all in at a glance. “That is quite a contraption you are designing.”
OR: Celebrimbor invents a thing, Annatar helps, and both of them staunchly refuse to acknowledge it might be a metaphor for anything. Certainly not their relationship.
