Summary
If she closes her eyes and lets her imagination take her, she can imagine they’re in Sirion once more, Idril and her golden-haired son, and that he’s stepped outside- gone to wash the dust from his hair, that hair that he was always so particular about- that he’ll be back any moment, smiling that crooked smile that he inherited from his father.
[Earendil chooses mortality. Idril, in the great tradition of her ancestors, chooses violence.]

Summary
I have survived the terrifying before, she says. And I will not surrender to my fate before it is done: I spit on your inevitability.
[In thirty-three centuries, twenty-five women dreamed of the sea in fair Númenor. Of these twenty-five, eighteen were crowned queens. Seven names lived on in history. Three ruled in their own right. All dreamt of death and destruction.
A story of terror and defiance; a story of despair and hope; a story of seas and mountains and the women who knew the future far before they could ever understand it.]

exit tax season, pursued by stork by PandaFlower

Summary
[“This just lists one male elfling, aged two years.” Fingon peers over the top of the parchment form dubiously, one brow arched as if inviting Maedhros to let him in on the joke any time now. “I thought you said this was a list of what I’d be getting in Himring’s back taxes.”]
In which Maedhros gets very creative about paying taxes after the Bragollach destroyed Himring's coffers. Everyone suffers.

Summary
It was a familiar scene, all of them gathered around a convalescent Maedhros; Celegorm paced the length of the small tent, all his terror turned to hard fury at the base of his throat:
“We could have their heads for this,” he growled. “We should have their heads for this. They tried to kill the king!”
[Or: Just when Maedhros is about to surrender the crown, an unlikely trio of conspirators attempt to assassinate him. His brothers . . . take care of it.]
