Summary
While captive in the orc pit, Arondir reflects.
Arondir stiffened and drew his attention back to the dusty earth. He had been watching the sun too closely, pulled in by its whispered promises. The earth gave him less heart, but it was worthy of observation, too. It held its own beaten beauty. The way the shelves of clay wrinkled and crumbled beneath his bone-pick. The twisted shape of a root clawing out from the soil. The sound of cracking and bleeding as he broke into it. The smell of sap dissolving quickly in the parched air.
Such was his routine: a rotational observation. Before long, this vigil would sink his spirits even lower. He could not bear to give such attention to his own act of destruction, and he knew this was an inherent weakness of his soul, an enduring failure of his craft.
All things should be loved, even in their loss.

Summary
Arondir struggles with Bronwyn's hopelessness - and his own. Set during S1E5.
He thought of the star-fall — the streak of red fire across the sky, and Bronwyn’s hand, so light against his own. Had this all started then, or before? No, it was certainly before — years before, centuries. Surely, Arondir thought with rising panic, it had started at the dawn of the world, this ancient evil, this darkness without limit or end. Perhaps Adar had been right, perhaps this was the truth of things, the light of the Valar only a passing folly. And now it would consume her.

Summary
After the Númenorean victory, Arondir tends Bronwyn's wound, and they process some of the trauma of the previous night. Set during S1E6.
Slowly and carefully, Arondir unfastened the pins on her shoulder straps, his fingers deft and delicate, barely brushing her skin. The dress came apart at the juncture, the straps sliding down her back, the cloth pooling at her waist. Beneath lay her linen bodice wrapping. It had become soaked with blood, which was now dried and stiff, sticking to her skin, digging and chafing at her flesh. Suddenly — desperately — she wanted it removed, even though she knew it would make her vulnerable — leave her unshielded and exposed.
Silently, as if understanding her thoughts, Arondir moved behind her, sliding his fingers along the knotted tie at her back. “I imagine there will be some pain,” he said.

Summary
Arondir and Bronwyn pass a new threshold in their relationship. Arondir battles his own expectations and insecurities. Set after S1 E7.
Arondir could not conceive of anything more intimate than this. It filled him with a flush of power, unlike anything he’d felt before, a power greater than combat or even the trust of growing trees had ever allowed him. The power came entirely from her — from her pleasure, which she had gifted him, and which now stretched within him like a seedling. He might’ve done this for years without stopping, without breaking — if she wished it.

Summary
On the road to Pelargir, Bronwyn and Arondir process traumas old and new. They discover they still have much to learn about each other. Set after S1E7. Read the notes for additional warnings.
It was not an easy thing for her to hear. It made her overly aware of herself — every curve and plane and angle of her own frame. It was still unfathomable to consider that such a thing might be possible between them — might have already happened — might, by desperate necessity, happen again.
It was not that Bronwyn had no sense of self-worth; she was old enough to have learned her own value. But her congress with men had always been sacrificial in nature, a ritual offering she made of herself to win protection from some greater suffering. In light of this experience, she had few tools with which to fathom her current situation.
