Summary
It was thus in every new meeting with every figure out of legend: all of them celebrated him and honored him, and told him over and over how valiant they thought him, and all the while Frodo felt less and less at ease with every encounter. Tonight, at an evening gathering of feast and music, he found himself ducking into a side room to escape the Hall of Song. Just his luck that the room he escaped to turned out not to be empty.
Or: A conversation between Celebrimbor and Frodo in Valinor in the Fourth Age.

Summary
Maeglin stood, overlooked in the flakes of falling ash amid the rubble that had once been Thangorodrim. All things considered, he was making a disturbing habit out of failing to die.
Which raised the question—now what?
(In which Maeglin survives, Celebrimbor seeks a different way forward, and together they might manage better than either could alone.)

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.

Summary
Maedhros' gaze landed on Elrond, keen and challenging. "We knew the Oath bound us to pursue our friends and our kin, if they held a Silmaril. Why include those words if we believed they would never be relevant?”
Elrond had no answer. But Elros replied, in a dry voice, “Poetic license?”

Summary
“May I join you?”
Celebrimbor nearly fell from his perch. He had not thought anyone followed him, let alone—
Recovering himself, he peered over the edge of the loft floor to confirm the evidence of his ears. And, yes, there among the barley bins stood Orodreth, his face cast into sharp relief by the lamps along the walls and looking sterner than Celebrimbor had ever seen it.

Summary
As always, the walls of Mandos were smooth and featureless, with no sign of the door that had let him out so many years ago. As always, his own voice sounded thin and muted against the fog and unyielding stone.
And yet, as always, Fingon set down his pack and bow, unslung his harp, and sang.
(They might be out of Mandos, but the healing isn’t done.)

Summary
The Pardoner challenges the Wife of Bath's narrative choices. She, of course, has a ready response.
(In which the Canterbury crew gets recast as 21st-century yatris, Chaucer gets twisted into a jalebi, and the author gets academic credit for shameless self-indulgence.)
