Bookmarker's Notes
“Remember what, Pityo?”
Maedhros strains to make out the expression on Maglor’s face. Remember what, indeed?
“I told you, there was nothing of desire in the affection I offered you then — which, recall, you spurned at the time — and there is not now.” Maglor’s throat rises and falls. He cups Amras’ face. “Come, stand and let me hold you.”

"I don't think he will," Jim said. "Or at least. He says Vulcan marriage involves telepathy--"
"Marriage!" McCoy stared at him, his throat working for a moment before he managed, "Dammit, Jim." He shook his head. "Well, if anyone can tolerate a lifetime hitched to Spock, it's probably you."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence," Jim said.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Now who has the golden tongue!” Dís retorted, looking pleased, as if a young person had just offered her some great treasure and undervalued it by dint of their youth.
This was the perennial problem with meetings between dwarves and elves—each side invariably saw the other as immature (and uncanny in their immaturity). Bearded infants, beardless little ancients—the juxtaposition never failed to startle. But both Arwen and Dís of the Lonely Mountain were weaned on diplomacy. They accommodated the strangeness of others.
“A golden tongue sounds unwieldy to my ear, though I am no expert on gold and would welcome correction. Heavy, cold—who would want such a thing in their mouth?”

“YOU SHALL MEET A NEW KIND OF BEAR ON YOUR NEXT HUNTING TRIP.”
“Alright. Will it be dangerous?”

Seven gifts (of questionable usefulness) that Annatar would have offered to the Realm of Lindon.
Bookmarked by aguntoaknifefight (swirlingvoid)
01 Jun 2026
Bookmarker's Notes
"Very well," said Annatar, briefly flaring in essence to just a shade under 'too bright'. "Then I shall move on to the mole."
"The mole," repeated Gil-galad.
Elrond asked, "As in Gondolin's 'Mole, House of the'?"
"Elrond's father was very nearly killed by the Lord of that House," said Gil-galad. "It's rather insensitive to come here and base a foundational measure of Arda off of that."

Bookmarker's Notes
Oh, that was even worse. “It’s just that I – think about things – that are...” It sounded so childish out of context, but explaining that the context was sexual, to Nelyo’s father, would be worse. “That I have heard referred to in other contexts as evidence of the Marring,” said Findekáno, suddenly too formally. It wasn’t only his father’s opinion. He was old enough to read what he liked in the library, now, including legal and anthropological texts.
“And you are, I imagine, completely unwilling to share what they are.” Uncle Fëanáro sounded amused again. Mutely, Findekáno shook his head. “Well!” said Uncle Fëanáro, and reached over awkwardly to pass Findekáno’s shoulder, very much to his surprise. “Maybe so. But it’s said, too, that by means of the Marring Melkor created the first ice, which we skate on and use to cool food and build sculptures of – outside of Tirion, granted, there isn’t enough around here – and which creates its own ecosystems in the far north and south, and has provided inspiration for a large number of environmental and biological innovations by Lady Yavanna which now depend upon its presence. And it’s also said that Eru Ilúvatar intended everything Melkor did in the end. Not everything that comes from the Marring is bad.”

"But," Frank says, whining, "I thought you said it was an accident."
It's not going to be an accident when Hawkeye strangles him.
"What do you want me to say?" He goes towards a table, Frank following behind him. "That I made a mistake? That I did it on purpose?"

Summary
After ten thousand years in the Halls of Mandos, Feanor and Fingolfin are reembodied into a Valinor that looks the same, but is now wholly different from the world they left behind—and they too, have been irreversibly changed by death. But the methods used by Mandos to heal them have had the opposite effect, and Fingolfin, the warrior of the Elder Days, grows restless, melancholic, and soon depressed in the land of milk and honey. The solution to his ills? Another unwinnable war with Feanor, and a new, sordid sexual affair culminating in violence.
An exploration of the complexities (and horrors) of reembodiment, how the reembodied elf relates to his new body and the world around him, how the corrective arts of Mandos may psychologically harm those subjected to them, and the consequences of trapping a hardened soldier in Paradise. Or: the author beefs with LaCE.

Bookmarker's Notes
Ai! What a wicked thing had Mandos done, what an injustice was his rule that his prisoners must cast aside their hatred if they would have their freedom! The price Nolofinwë had paid for his liberty was the chemical castration of his own heart, and this same fee had Fëanaro paid as well, for the better he had thought at first, but now he deemed that a small amount of hatred is good for a body.

"I don't ..." Sam began. He stopped, unsure where he was going with that. "What are we supposed to do? Stick you in a cell and leave you to die of this? Turn you over to SHIELD to be studied?"
"Yes!" Zemo snapped, flinging his arm out so wildly that he nearly sent the cigarette pack flying. "It would make more sense than this -- all of this -- this --"
"Behaving like a moral human being? Not being a dick? Yeah, I can see why that wouldn't make sense to you."

Bookmarker's Notes
Stopping before him, those jewel-bright eyes rove across his face, the weight of their regard a physical thing, dragging across his visage as though his father's widow were tracing a finger along the slope of his jaw, his cheeks, his temples. A false-mother and her gangrenous caress. Slowly, Indis shakes her head, as though her search revealed not what she hoped to find. When she speaks, her voice brims with a cruel pity. "Your father built you a playground, boy, and you think it the world."

“Just like that,” Findekáno murmured as a shuddering exhale fell from his brother’s lips. “It’s better if you draw it out.” He squeezed his knees to stop his hands from wandering between his legs. After a beat of near-silence in which he came dangerously close to thinking about what he was doing, he smiled and said, “It feels good, doesn’t it?”

“Is it slick enough?” Findekáno whispered.
Turukáno’s tongue slipped from his mouth to wet his lips. Sweat shone in the hollow of his throat. He shook his head. “I... I don’t know.”
A great effort of will was needed for Findekáno to resist pushing his brother’s hand aside to check himself. Putting forth his strength, he managed to find it.

Bookmarker's Notes
Here I go, joking with myself again. Maybe Lestat was right to think it was pathetic. She talks to the book again, Louis. They’ve got his picture on the wall, did I tell you that? Wherever we go, we can’t escape him. Sometimes I think Louis doesn’t want to. If killing Lestat was me getting my boulder all the way to the top of the hill, Armand is me having to start over again. Like I said: the same struggle, over and over again, until the end of time. I’m not starving in the woods like Daciana, but I think I can understand how this existence could make a woman go mad.

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.

Bookmarker's Notes
Gilraen doesn’t know how long they will last, the two of them, their bedplay, her welcome. The knowledge lives behind a barrier neither of them can yet cross. And if she does know, if she walks into his chamber one night and puts her mouth on him and drags the truth out of him like a fever, she might not like the answer.
And so, they gnaw at each other across decades, if only to avoid rotting from nothing touching nothing, from intimacy remaining theoretical. They meet as bodies night after night, as hunger and flesh, stripping away the other’s layers one by one, but the distance never closes. She’s clawing at the shore in the country of the dying and he has been sailing blindly on the sea for all his life, knowing where he needs to go and knowing he does not know the way.

Curufinwë Atarinkë is not his father. He is the shadow of the flame on the wall, the soft ember in the ashes—a fragment. A fraction. A facsimile. He is a spark that has yet to catch.
He is the age his father was when his parents first fell in love.
Given that, he is unsure why it has not happened to him yet.

“A baby?” says Tyelkormo, incredulous, when he shares the skeleton of his master plan. “And what are you going to make it from, exactly? Wrought-iron and wires?”
Curufinwë, briefly, considers it.
“I imagine the traditional method would prove far easier,” he replies archly, instead.

Summary
The young noble’s eyes flashed. He looked, Bertrand thought, like something from a novel: blunt and haughty and go-to-the-devil. "Vive la France, vive le roi, vive Dieu. And you bloody butchers can all burn in hell."
No answer, Bertrand was sure, could have pleased him more than this. It was like watching a lamb gambol right under the knife. “All right,” he said evenly. “Somebody needs a lesson in diplomacy.”

“Listen to me, cheri,” he said, seriously, holding Saint-Georges’ gaze like a tutor. “Those kinds of games aren't for you anymore. You're being saved for something greater.” And when Saint-Georges’ eyes stayed blank, uncomprehending, he gave his hard-on an encouraging little shake. “Remember? Madame la Guillotine's cold kiss?”
He watched the meaning hit Saint-Georges, the dawning of a queasy comprehension in his eyes—in his face. His pulse was thrashing under Bertrand’s fingers like a bird in a net.

Celebrían woke up.
Annatar was pacing. He imagined his imaginary body now in robes of fine silk, not another slit-skirted and sleeveless tabard, but fashioned as though meeting diplomatic guests on Celebrimbor’s arm. In fact the imaginary earrings were precisely as a pair Celebrimbor himself had made for Annatar, which Celebrían thought was in fairly poor taste, all things considered. Not that Annatar was likely to care.

“We-ell,” the thing drawls. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But you know…” He touches Arthur’s collarbone, and smiles when Arthur’s chest starts to heave, his breath coming in faster, harder - just one more thing out of his control. “You’re right on the money, there. Is this - hold on - don’t tell me - is this one a fountain?”
“He’s supposed to be. But he tries to stop himself from urinating. I don’t know why.”
