    Could it do any harm to keep this one plaything? To even suggest it could was anathema to what confidence Mairon knew himself possessed of in his power.

    The creature called Sauron takes an interest in the elf that sang against him, and inadvertently frees Finrod from the futures he'd foreseen, even as he binds him much more closely.

    Summary

    Thank Elbereth, she thinks as she tugs her cloak carefully around his shoulders, thank Elbereth that his eyes still shine.

    She had feared them dulled, like those of the Noldor Galadriel had told her of when her mother could not hear, who had entered the Helcaraxë with her and her kindred but had not made it to the other side. Who had perished, though the ice never opened its gaping maw beneath them. Who had met their end with a tired smile, bloodless lips and frost in their lashes.

    But here is yet hope, yet love. She has not lost him.

    Summary

    “Sauron held up a mirror,” Finrod says. “Clear as Aeluin! I had all my bonds broken for me before I entered his halls. Blood was not bond enough, nor fealty; friendship died in the frost, and oaths-- I am a free elf at last, not countryman, not king, not son, not husband, not brother. No aid to the Beorings, at the last. No true friend to you.” There, in the darkness; the low sound, the wolf’s breath. “Only the last bond is left, that keeps me in my skin…”

    “And the manacles stapling you to the wall,” Andreth says, dry, and the walls of Tol-in-Gaurhoth vanish. Finrod is left blinking, hard, against the sudden accession of light.

    “Actually,” he says, “only one is attached to the wall.”

    Summary

    "'The Elves of this land were of a race strange to us of the silvan folk, and the trees and the grass do not now remember them. Only I hear the stones lament them: deep they delved us, fair they wrought us, high they builded us; but they are gone.'"
    - The Lord of the Rings

    Held in the dungeons of a tower he himself built, Finrod Felagund draws strength from the stone.
