    Summary

    “When they played in the caves, they were not Elwing-Elrond-Elros, mother and sons. They were three refugee children pretending to be ordinary children, feral in salt-stained clothes and their foremother's wide, watchful eyes. Up and down the shoreline, caves like these were claimed by Sirion's young to play in, designed, occupied and defended by children who understood that space you could call yours was temporary, that you took it when you found it and could lose it any time.“

    Elwing cares little for the forests of Valinor.

    Summary

    "Do not make this little mistake in my motherhood a tragic footnote in my life, Maglor. Why must we define what living is like for difficult people in difficult places, as a tragedy? The true tragedy lies in the masking of little mistakes, the ensconcement of little lives in the language of the promising, the language of potential possessed and lost, of heroic deeds and terrible mistakes. Such words do not denote reality, they make reality feel like mass failure instead of proof of human lives lived under impossible conditions.

    Make it a part of the whole of me, a counterpart to my kindness. Do not tell them that I was the best mother in the world solely by virtue of my womanhood. Tell them Nerdanel looked at her firstborn, could not see him truly, and did not think to ask."
    _______________
    A ‘nonfictional fanfiction’ family history situating the Fëanorians in Prayers to Broken Stone, looking at the 'secular leftist' yet landowning and feudalistic Mappila Muslim family in Kozhikode between 1920 and 1980, interspersed with letters Nerdanel wrote to Maglor during her hunger strike.

    Or: why Fëanor set himself on fire after his swords were flung into the sea.

    Summary

    After transmigrating into the antagonist of a reverse otome game, Shen Yuan is faced with a minor problem. "Minor" meaning "deadly," and "problem" meaning "Luo Binghe," of course.

    Planning to escape the main plot of the game before it reaches its conclusion, Shen Yuan - now Shen Qingqiu, the unwanted wife that Luo Binghe starts out with before he pursues one of the game's actual love interests - does the only thing he can think of.

    --
    "Lord Luo, this lowly one is humbly requesting a divorce!"
