A beach day with the family always ends—as Thorin says—with getting that brittle sea salt out of one’s hair.

Summary
Youth could not be blamed, for he had been well nigh into his three-thousandth year, it was then that the depravity of grief forced his hand. He spoke the words and the candle barely flickered in its reception...
So that none of my blood shall suffer to part from me, so that none that I love shall be cloven between life and death, so that none that love me can be taken by the teeth of mortality.

In 121st year of the fourth age of Middle-earth, Lord Elrond of Imladris buries his daughter and sails to Aman; but Arwen follows him regardless. It is the thing he prayed for, it is the only prayer Eru had ever answered. -

Summary
Celebrían sails to Valinor and though the air is like silver she finds she is bare and fearful; grasped by a world she has only heard of in whispers and her mother's history tales, she spends an absorbing amount of time cracking open the layer of mystery that lays upon the land of the undying.

Or, Celebrían goes full detective as a post-trauma healing hobby.

Summary
For seven thousand years, Nerdanel lived alone in the great, empty house that once rang with the sound of hammer on anvil and the laughter of seven sons.
Now Fëanor and his sons, newly pardoned, have been rebodied - but how does one resolve seven millennia of heartbreak and bitterness?
Nerdanel and Fëanor, and the rekindling of their first, flickering flame.
Compliant to events of The Ransom of the House of Fëanor, but can be read entirely separately.

Summary
Elwing caught her breath. She touched Uinen’s collarbone with two fingers, drew a line down her breastbone and curved it under her breast. Uinen’s lips parted. She leaned in. Elwing never tired of this: her mortal touch commanding the attention of the sea.
“Kiss me,” she ordered, and was obeyed.
(But she could not order Uinen to stay.)

Summary
Frodo comes back from the war, and finds love and healing with Sam's sweet younger sister.
PREVIEW:
“Someone else… better for me? But Mr. Frodo… There isn’t anyone better…"He squeezed her hands and pulled away, trailing his fingers over hers.
“No, there are many who are better, I think,” he said, looking down at his nails – short, and bitten down to the quick. “Somebody healthy, for one. Someone you can live a long, full life with. You’re a vibrant young woman, Mari, but you have to understand. If you hitch your wagon to my star, you’re laying yourself down in a coffin.”
With a short, jagged sigh, he looked away.
Of note:
This is a TWO PART SERIES, each about 80-90K words, which is why you will see designations of Book I and Book II. I considered splitting it up into two works, but decided against it.
