    Summary

    "You are Elrond's wife, are you not?"

    "The cultural practices of the Noldor are stranger than I thought," Celebrían muses vaguely, as if talking to herself. "You wouldn't think anyone would name a child 'Elrondswife', but I suppose it takes all kinds of naming traditions to make a world."
    _________________________________
    Near the close of the Third Age, Celebrían and Maedhros establish a re-wilding sanctuary in Valinor, to help elves fleeing strife in Middle-Earth recover and rebuild their lives.

    Summary

    “Ask your question, Susan.” He says her name as tenderly as when he first crowned her for the Sun and the South in Cair Paravel that spring so long ago. She can’t quite remember the last time he called her Susan, not daughter or dear one or Gentle or Queen.

    Susan wraps her hands around a chunk of mane each, feeling the warm weight of it settle in her palms, her bones. “Sometimes,” she whispers, “I feel like it would be easier if I could just—forget any of this wasn’t a dream. Don’t you think?”

    “That,” says Aslan very solemnly, “is not for me to say.”

    (or, susan pevensie on losing narnia, herself, and her family—and perhaps on finding them again.)

    Summary

    Butch is gone one morning, when Sundance wakes up in the cold, shoulder aching. He doesn't think it at first, waiting to hear Butch whoop from outside, riding around on that stupid bicycle, or baiting Etta's steer, or just dancing with Etta, bootsteps on the front porch.

    It's Australia, though, Australia's shade of blue that stares him in the face, and Australia's air that sits heavy in his throat. He digs through Butch's things, mostly still there, and then goes out to the ragged stable. Butch's horse is gone, saddle and bridle, and Sundance curses as he throws down hay.

    He's sitting in front of the house, coat hanging too loose, when Butch rides up, looking ridiculously pleased with himself. Sundance lifts his chin, tugs his hat further down, and waits.

    --

    Post-movie. 'cause I believe they made it, damnit. Butch, Sundance, and Australia: things that break the world.

    Summary

    “Knockout,” Varric agrees. “Wager?”

    Hawke shrugs. “That corset story you’re always asking after,” he says, and smirks. It’s tired on him, doesn’t fit his face the way a proper smile would, but Varric is kind enough not to mention it, and nods thoughtfully.

    “You get a question,” he says, and Hawke laughs; it’s an old game, doesn’t feel like it should belong here in this basement, so far from home for them both. Stories for wins.
