Summary
Adar has declared himself King of Mordor. And a King is always in need of a herald. Unfortunately, he has his eyes set on one herald in particular. There is nothing that would make Gil-Galad part with his herald, except that Adar has promised to recall his children to Mordor and trouble the peoples of Middle-Earth no longer. He will also lend his army in the fight against Sauron.
And though Elrond feels that he would sooner die, it is painfully clear what the lesser of the two evils are, and the whole of Middle-Earth is at stake. Besides, they only need a few months in order to defeat Sauron, once they have done that then he will be able to return to Lindon for good. This is just a temporary sacrifice. And his dear friend and brother Prince Durin will not be far away.
AU that takes place just after Season 2 Episode 1, when Elrond is working at the boathouse, but just before Galadriel goes to talk to him about joining the mission to Eregion.

Elrond thinks about the pity he has seen in the eyes of others throughout his life, and how it is his least favourite expression. It starts with the waterfall incident(!) and then leads up to that moment on the battlefield and beyond.

Summary
“Hmm I don’t like waiting very much”, he stated eying Elrond carefully, “but Disa always says I give great massages, for the head especially. Might get rid of that stress”
This took Elrond by surprise.
“I cannot ask you to do that Durin”, he protested although he longed for some physical comfort.
“Ye’re not asking, I’m offering”, Durin replied gruffly, “and now stop being so stubborn elf and lie down, already”
Or: After being banned from Khazad-dûm by Durin’s father, Elrond gets overwhelmed by all the stress he has been living with and needs to sit down. His head feels like it’s exploding with pain but fortunately Durin finds him and takes care of him. And maybe Durin can convince his friend that he should not blame himself for everything that has ever gone wrong in middle earth and that he is not a failure…
