Summary
As part of a negotiation to forge an alliance between the elves and a dwarves, a marriage pact was struck between the two races. Durin, freshly fallen from his father’s favour and stripped of his title as heir to the throne, was the prime candidate to be wed to Elrond, who volunteered on behalf of the elves. The two get off to a rocky start, made worse as Elrond discovers the elves' motives for the arrangement may not be as innocent as they may seem. But soon found themselves facing more trouble than they had anticipated from a simple political alliance. Forced to set their initial animosity aside to work together against greater foes, trust and love comes to grow between them.

Summary
What she’s thinking of instead is that something’s all too familiar in what Elrond isn’t saying, that glint of something below the surface when he mentioned Maedhros, when he spoke of family. She knows it well; very well indeed.
She does, she thinks, still want to know more of it from Elrond, and not for her father-in-law’s diplomatic negotiations or her husband’s wounded friendship but for something far more simple and raw in herself: a sorrow that recognises its mirror, an understanding shared.
Disa, Durin, and why Elrond never went to their wedding.

Summary
Another round of boisterous song started up at the table nearest him, and Elrond took a long drink from his cup to avoid the frown he could feel pulling at his mouth. This was the custom under the mountain, he knew: to celebrate a life well lived, rather than mourn its end, and he did not begrudge the dwarves their traditions. Still, it was not the way he would grieve, if he had his choice. His heart ached and he wanted quiet: a moment to himself, with fresh air in his lungs and familiar voices in his ears, a sky above his head rather than stone. He wanted company that did not grate on his frayed nerves and someone who understood why he did not wish to celebrate; he wanted his friend back.
Or: many years after the events of The Rings of Power, King Durin IV has died of old age. Tomorrow, his daughter Gerda will become king of Khazad-Dûm. Tonight, Elrond attends his friend's wake.

Summary
Balance. This world demands balance.
The words taste of oleander petals and belladonna berries, poisoned sweetness that coats her mouth; like bitter hemlock and sour monkshood.
“Then by all means,” Galadriel says, her throat tight. “Let us rule together.”
.
.
OR
.
.
To stop the spread of evil, there is nothing Galadriel won't sacrifice – not even herself. And so, she accepts Sauron's proposal to rule at his side, to balance his darkness with her light. -

Summary
Gerda has stopped still. It’s enough to let Disa finish her hair fast, no doubt, and she doesn’t really have to say any more - but Gerda is listening.
“In the older days,” Disa says, “elves came to learn from us.”
Disa, motherhood, and ambition.
