Summary
It is said in Dale that the elves remember all that they have witnessed, and that their memories fade not, but remain clear from the mists of forgetfulness and old age. There was but one point on which the men of Dale erred. It was better, oh how much better, not to remember. And if one must remember all that one had seen, how much better then not see at all.
Or: Legolas leaves Rivendell with the Fellowship having never known loss. Eru is a kind and a cruel teacher.

Rum smuggling seemed like a good idea at the time.

Summary
Ed wanted desperately to sink into the growing shadows cast by the sails and disappear. They were all talking about piracy like it was... well like it was fun. Like it was freedom. Maybe it was that for some people.
He tried to withdraw, but Stede wrapped an arm around him and held him there.
“Listen to them,” he whispered. “We did this, both of us.”

Canon Divergent Fix it Fic. Almost entirely follows the plot of the last episode, but with some reassigned dialogue, no deaths and a whole lot of closure for one Edward Teach, retired pirate.

Summary
Gimli’s friendship with Legolas is accepted if disliked; his reverence for Galadriel understood if mistrusted . . . but there is only so much liberty a lord of a new dwarven colony may be allowed. In a world unforgiving of the depth of their love, the only thing Gimli can think to do is deny it, even if that means breaking both of their hearts.
Or so he thinks. But when he sees the depth of his friend’s heartbreak, he knows some other solution must be found instead.

Summary
“One—whatever we do, we do it at your place. I don’t want you in my apartment, and I’m sure you have some sort of rockstar sex dungeon for shit like this anyway.”
“I do not, but continue.”
Ema ignores the interjection. “Two—this is strictly physical, okay? No touchy-feely romance novel garbage. I’m not your girlfriend. I don’t want to be your girlfriend. I also don’t want to have to report any of this to HR. Understood?”
Klavier nods. “Ja—uh. Yes.”
“Three—we are not speaking about this to anyone. Partially because I don’t want to risk ending up in a trashy tabloid and ruining your reputation and my career forever, but mostly because I don’t want to spend the rest of my life answering the question ‘how was Klavier Gavin in bed?’”
“How was Klavier Gavin in bed?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t slept with him in one yet. Three drinks deep on a bathroom counter? He was pretty okay.”
Or: Ema Skye and Klavier Gavin attempt to have a casual sexual relationship. It doesn't go as planned—for better or for worse.
