    Summary

    "Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”

    “No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing.

    Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”

    Summary

    “It is not my body that imprisons me,” Maedhros said with a pointed look at the shackles around his wrists.

    Sauron laughed. “You are quite mistaken. Take, for example, the – what is it your people call it? – the blossoming, I believe, is the local term; an interesting metaphor; the Sindar are of course very florally minded. It is most tiresome. Ah, I remember – opening.” He smirked. “Avoiding metaphor altogether, for of course it is an opening. There is the obvious if rather undignified physical action, of course, but what is strange to me is the effect that then has on the spirit – which opens, which yields. Therefore your body compels a subjection not merely to your own flesh but even to the flesh of another – and thus, of course, to the spirit of another. Now that is imprisonment, if you like!”

    Summary

    Celebrimbor has oft thought that outside of the forge he is far too replaceable. No matter how many times his worries are reassured, his attempts to broaden his horizons are often met with exactly this. Proof that he is not quite what others would prefer, for company or for… more than company

    Summary

    The city does not feel the same. The fires are still lit, the forge still burns, there are even people in the streets. But the air does not taste the same, and the breeze does not reach the highest towers.

    There is no birdsong anymore.

    Summary

    It had been a long time since he'd heard his name spoken with such enthusiasm, and Celebrimbor will admit to enjoying it rather more than is seemly for an elf
