    Summary

    Even when the Eagle came, even with Fingon’s blade at his wrist, Maedhros had neither hoped nor desired to live.

    So he held his breath: and then Maedhros cried, “There you are!”

    Summary

    “I hardly believed it,” said Maedhros. “What are you doing here?”

    "I bring a message from my father."

    Maedhros blinked. "Really?"

    Fingon grinned. "I believe his exact words were: you're visiting who, well if you must you must, say something suitable, something something friendship something something kinsmen, tell him good job keeping my brother's sons out of trouble, I'd rather wrestle another ice bear myself – but don't say it like that!"
    _

    Fingon goes to visit Maedhros, accidentally arrives during a Fëanorion family reunion, and quickly regrets many (but not all) of his life choices.

    Summary

    Friendless and fresh from battle, Astarion returns home to his castle in Baldur's Gate intending to begin his new life as Vampire Ascendant, only to find an intruder sleeping in his former master's bed.

    What better way to start a coven of his own, than to sink his teeth into the pretty stranger fate has gifted him?

    Summary

    Here we were, together and yet alone, time slipping through our fingers. I felt I stood on the edge of some vast cliff, looking down into a void that both beckoned me to jump and froze me in place. Truly, I was terrified: of my own denied desire and of the growing possibility that I might really lose my Fool, my Beloved. He had come here to Aslevjal to die. I needed him to live.

    Now, I realized, I needed him to know.

    It's the "stay the night" Elderling tent scene! Fitz delivers a real apology and, finally, a confession. We get everything we want, because Beloved deserves it, and because holy shit do we need it by the end of this trilogy.

    Summary

    Veritas hadn't even tried to stop Aventurine from pulling him in by the chain at his chest and kissing him hard and biting. That had been his first lapse in judgment. The second came soon after, then the third, fourth, fifth.

    Sex creates idiots. Veritas knows this well. He wishes he knew how to stop himself. He doesn't want to stop at all. Aventurine is far too good at pushing his buttons. Making him stupid. Making him care. They meet again in less than a week.
    |
    Aventurine reacts strangely to gentleness. Veritas cares entirely too much.
