Summary
Círdan comforts a young(er) elf during the First War with Sauron.
I know only that your task is to bake bread and mine is to continue to build ships. We each help in our own way.”
“Yes, I suppose.” She frowned.
“And yet,” he said, turning to her, “I would not have only lembas to sustain me. I would not deny myself the pleasure of carving swans though a simpler prow would serve. Or to put it another way: why do you still make sweets in a time of war?” -

Summary
Modern AU. It's been 4 months since The Tenth Date. Cel and El are enjoying their time together. A fundraiser for Senator Galadriel proves to be a minefield for them both, though for entirely different reasons.
Featuring Finn and Erestor being very good friends to Elrond, sad and wet Cel, relationship milestones of various sorts, and some extremely tender celrond.
I recommend that you read The Tenth Date first to see what this modern AU is all about.

Summary
When Fëanor spoke again, he was softer. “Did you see it, Nolvo? Like a new star crossing the sky. They’ve beaten us, and good. Boy, I’d love to get my hands on the tech in their cosmodrome, wouldn’t you? Maybe I’ll call up—”
This time, it was Nerdanel who interrupted, her voice a warning. Maedhros couldn’t quite make out the words, but her meaning was clear: Shut up, smarty-pants!
“Of course,” Fëanor returned to the phone, reverting to his clear, didactic tone, “I’m exaggerating for effect, as I’m known to. I would never defect or betray my country…. No, Professor, you won’t. I’m afraid you’ll need to handle this one yourselves. I will not be bought, and I’ll be much obliged if you don’t call with such offers again.”
The Space Race begins when Doriath launches the world's first artificial satellite. Fëanor, a renowned astrophysicist of Aman, becomes obsessed with the potential of radio astronomy to contact the far reaches of the universe. Maedhros grows up and takes on his father's cause. Years later, a message is received.

Summary
“You are being very kind to me,” he said, subdued.
“Far kinder than you deserve, I daresay,” said Gandalf. “There's nothing like a Took for making trouble, but you have outdone all your family tree, my lad.”
Pippin did not answer. At another time he would have risen to the barb, offered up the wide-eyed wounded innocence that had gotten him out of many a scrape, perhaps even found a way to slyly imply Gandalf’s culpability instead of his own – but he was sick and frightened, and something still hurt somewhere deep, something he did not want to think about.
Pippin reckons with what Sauron left of him.
