    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

    “Now that he had hope, Shen Jiu’s voice became fervent. ‘You absolutely have to remember the things you said! You must come back to save me!’

    Qi-ge seemed to be nodding his head hard. ‘All right,’ he said emphatically. ‘Wait for me. Once I finish my training, I’ll definitely come back—then we'll leave together!’”

    --

    “As if testing the waters, Yue Qingyuan said, ‘Xiao-Jiu...’

    ‘Shixiong,’ said Shen Qinggiu, ‘it’s Qingqiu.’”

    --

    Yue Qi, grieving.

    Summary

    OR The Huntress of Cuiviénen

    --

    In point of fact, Melkor had never truly been prey. Oh, Oromë had hunted him, but Melkor had been five steps ahead, raising mountains and fortresses and disguises against Oromë’s pursuit. He did not know how to act like it.

    That was alright. Indis was a good teacher; she could show him.

    Summary

    AU of the Hinataverse.

    On what really ought to have been a routine hunter-nin assignment, Hinata winds up (1) gallivanting across the Elemental Countries in the company of two infamous missing-nin and (2) being de-aged by an experimental jutsu. (Not in that order.)

    Itachi is rather surprised to run into a six-year-old version of his former best friend; Kisame is rather surprised to discover that Itachi has a secret Big Brother Mode; Hinata (de-aged) is rather surprised to be semi-forcibly adopted by the two of them. Somehow, between their 1.5 collective social skills, they make it work.
