Summary
Grian takes a breath too, running his fingers along the grain of their perch, and says, “I need to protect us.”
It’s obvious, but the way that he says it- God, the way that he says it. It’s weak, a little quivery as it shivers its way from Grian’s dry, cracked lips. Even though it seems like nothing, like there’s barely any substance to such an irrefutable claim, it’s still, somehow, the most vulnerable that Grian had been in weeks.
And it makes Scar pause, because- what the hell does that mean? What does it mean when he says it like that? When he says it with shaking lips and shaking hands, rubbing his fingers a little tenderly against the wood beneath them?

aka; scar is hurting. he's hurting so badly, by the hand that he thinks he would let hurt him forever. he asks why, and somehow, the answer is something along the lines that grian is hurting too.

Summary
Sam stops a few paces off, hand on his hips and then lets them drop to his sides because he knows that (in the first place) it looks ridiculous and (in the second) this isn’t an argument. He takes in the piles of neatly stacked wood from the disassembled seat. ‘How’s it going?'
Bucky’s lips push out for a second, considering. ‘It’s going.’
Sam nods and then jerks his chin. ‘Sarah told me what happened.’
For a moment Bucky looks at him, brows furrowed and then he sucks in a breath. ‘Oh?’
‘She’s pretty upset.’
The gloves drop, landing softly on the grass at his feet, and he starts to move, dismay and regret clear across his face. ‘I’ll talk to her-’
‘Wait.’ Sam puts a hand on his arm. ‘She’s upset because of what she said, not because of you.
‘That-’ Blue eyes clouded with confusion. ‘That doesn’t make any sense.’
‘You didn’t upset her,’ he says, trying to sound weighty and gentle. ‘But we need to talk about this.’
Bucky’s head tilts back a fraction and it’s in his eyes, something guarded and wary. ‘About what?’

Summary
— Входи, — тихо сказал Эймонд и отступил в сторону.
Коль на секунду прикрыл глаза. Казалось, будто он ведёт войну с самим собой. Эймонд лишь улыбался и ждал. В конце концов Коль страдальчески вздохнул и зашёл внутрь, притворив за собой дверь.
— Запри, — приказал Эймонд, и голос его прозвучал не громче вздоха.
Мгновение Коль колебался, но затем подчинился, поворачивая большой ключ в замке до тех пор, пока не раздался приятный негромкий щелчок. Это была всего лишь крохотная победа — и только первая из многих, — но Эймонд привык подбирать их там, где находил.
Коль сбросил капюшон и остановился перед Эймондом, подойдя неподобающе, до неприличия близко. Тёмные волосы падали ему на лоб красиво взлохмаченной волной. Он не брился несколько дней. Щетина на чужих щеках навела Эймонда на грязные мысли о том, как она могла бы натирать его шею или обжигать его бёдра.Series

Summary
What had Maglor read on Maedhros’ face, in the instants before he had jumped? With what final memory had Maedhros left his brother? He had not thought of such things, then, bent as he had been on his own destruction. He had imagined, perhaps, that the world would end when he did; but it had gone on growing and breathing and changing without him, as though all the blows he had dealt it amounted to no more than a freckle on its cheek.
-
Newly re-embodied, Maedhros stumbles through the business of living, until the news arrives that Maglor has sailed West.
