Summary
"It started because of how Celebrían ate her boiled egg. It’s curious how little things — like the way a boiled egg peels — can stir memories without warning. No grand gesture, no significant event, just a well peeled egg swallowed whole and suddenly it is like Fingon is there again, laughing before Maedhros' eyes. Fingon had known a trick to make the whole shell of a boiled egg come off in one, the inner layer peeling off like a second skin clinging tightly to the life it held. He’s never seen Fingon swallow an egg whole and somehow the knowledge makes Maedhros feel rather bereft. Like there's a lifetime of egg-swallowing now lost to them."

When Elladan, Elrohir, Maglor and a grieving Elrond sail to Valinor at the end of the Ring War, they (and Bilbo Baggins) are met by Celebrían and Maedhros, who immediately whisk them off on a journey across the surreal, ever-changing landscapes of Valinor on foot. The destination? The Halls of Mandos, where Fingon's re-embodiment has been inexplicably and indefinitely delayed. -

Summary
"You are Elrond's wife, are you not?"
"The cultural practices of the Noldor are stranger than I thought," Celebrían muses vaguely, as if talking to herself. "You wouldn't think anyone would name a child 'Elrondswife', but I suppose it takes all kinds of naming traditions to make a world."

Near the close of the Third Age, Celebrían and Maedhros establish a re-wilding sanctuary in Valinor, to help elves fleeing strife in Middle-Earth recover and rebuild their lives. -

Summary
People stared at her in Valinor. It was not that scars were unheard of, but few had scars so dreadful as hers. Even with all Elrond’s talent, there was no hiding what she had endured.
Celebrían sailed to Valinor to find healing, but she does not find it. Lorien does her no good and many elves there are unused to scars like hers.
There is one elf, though, with scars like hers. Maedhros quickly proves that Elrond's memories of him were nearer to the mark than the horror stories she has heard and Celebrían finds herself adopted by the Fëanorians.

Summary
Forgiveness is like a firefly - to be set free, as a speck of light in the dark.
Elrond goes to Lothlórien to ask for permission to marry Celebrían. Meeting Galadriel doesn't go as smoothly as he had hoped. Conversations about the Fëanorians and Elrond's past ensue.

Summary
Faramir runs away, Maglor commits another kidnapping, Elrond and Arwen make their fathers proud.
--
Maglor was not good with children, exactly. That had always been his elder brother’s purview. But Maglor had raised or helped to raise half a dozen children. Those instincts didn’t go away, even after so many centuries unused.
He knelt beside the sobbing boy on the beach, bringing his face down level with the mortal child’s. “Are you hurt, little one?” He shook his head. “Are you lost?” No. “Do you just need to cry for a moment? It’s okay if you do. Everyone needs to cry sometimes.”
Those little hands pulled away from his mouth for a moment. “Not m’brother. He never needs to cry. He’s not weak like me.” He sniffled.
