    Summary

    Gimli closes his eyes, an old Dwarf on the brink of death in the home he had built with his husband in the Undying Lands, and opens them again as a young Dwarf in his childhood home in Ered Luin. He's returned to the tumultuous week before The Company set out to recruit their Burglar from his cosy hobbit hole. Gimli, once again a impetuous teen in the eyes of his family, must get into that Company--the lives of his loved ones, and the very fate of Middle Earth--depends on it.

    Summary

    "As the years pass, Gilraen becomes more confident that the idea of death no longer repulses Lord Elrond, that no longer might he find mortality a contagion, sinking into her as he does each night. She breathes easier, loosens her apron-strings, allows Estel a little more freedom, lets him stray farther from her sight, no longer so terrified that he might do something that would lose his father’s favour, might oust them back into the wilds to live and die short, fragmented lives, have him brought home horizontal on horseback with an arrow through his eye."
    ________________

    The torrid, scandalous, fifty-year long affair between Lord Elrond of Imladris and Gilraen the Fair as they raise Aragorn II, or Estel, the tearaway little miscreant and heir-in-exile to the Gondorian throne. Or: musings on the surveilled, sexually suspect citizenship that cities of sanctuary offer to those seeking asylum behind their walls.
