    Summary

    During the long journey to Valinor, Celebrían takes the time to record her story for those waiting to hear it on the Western shore.

    From the troubled genius of Celebrimbor, and the vile machinations of Sauron; to the glory of Moria, the timeless wonder of Lórinand, and the birth of Imladris; Celebrían recalls the joys and tribulations of coming of age during the war-torn days of the Second Age. In the end, she finds that, perhaps, the courage to face the future lies firmly entrenched in the strength gained from the past.

    Summary

    Beth Calhoun was the sole surviving security guard from Black Mesa but she can't clock out until the world ends. The longer she can keep a few brilliant people alive despite everyone else's best efforts the longer her unpaid overtime is going to last, and with it, maybe a little bit of hope. Bridging events of HI1 and HI2 from a gender-flipped Calhoun POV. Will be series of standalone short-story chapters.

    Summary

    Izumi loved that scar. When she was too young to know what it was, she had smeared red paint over one eye and stuck a paper five-pronged crown in her ponytail. Dad didn’t like it. She didn’t understand why, until he explained what a scar was and why it hurt him to see her pretending to have one.

    And now this man was going to give her one for real.

    The smoke burned her throat. She choked, crying too hard now to form proper sentences, too scared to say anything other than, “Dad.”

     

    Or: After Izumi is the target of an assassination attack, Zuko is left to deal with the aftermath.

    Summary

    SecUnit is staring at him. Ratthi accidentally makes eye contact again, and its gaze doesn’t dart away like it normally does. It stays locked onto his. Deliberately maintaining the eye contact.

    Ratthi flexes his hands. His skin is tacky with fluids and the webs of his fingers stick together. “You’re really worrying me, SecUnit. Talk to me. Tell me you’re okay.”

    “I’m okay,” SecUnit says immediately.

     

    (OR: After Murderbot is attacked by the company and has its governor module switched back on, it can’t speak freely to ask for help. It takes its friends a while to notice.)
