Summary
Arthur hadn’t intended on falling for Charles, not after the heartache of all the other unfulfilled relationships he’d tried at. It was something about the man’s quiet acceptance and genuine friendship that caused Arthur to falter and stumble into something he had no right pretending at. But when Charles smiled at him and laid every doubt to rest, it was hard to prevent.

Summary
Albert didn’t know what to expect when he reluctantly agreed to the demands of Detective Milton to save himself from prosecution, but it certainly wasn’t falling for one of the van der Linde gang’s most notorious outlaws while spying on him. Arthur Morgan was violent one moment and startlingly sensitive the next, and Albert almost wished the man would just settle on one to make his own decision easier.

Summary
There were just seven months left until the winter solstice, and Mairon had almost everything in place to present his newest project proposal to Celebrimbor. His friend had proven himself a worthy collaborator, all the proper raw materials were stocked in secret, and his persona ‘Annatar’ had been given all the trust and allowances of a master smith.
There was just one thing that worried Mairon, for despite all the warm cooperation and friendship he’d built with Celebrimbor, it seemed the elf ever kept him at a physical distance, despite being easily swayed to bodily affection with the incarnates. Something would have to be done about that, if only to strengthen his influence over the elf.

Summary
Túrin did not wish to remain a moment longer in Doriath following the King’s pardon, not with the way half the elves drew from him in fear, and the other half in disgust. For Beleg only would he suffer it, but with his beloved friend away on a journey and no allies in court, it seems broken noses and foul curses are his lot in life.
The King’s young grandson Dior seems oddly unbothered by his past though, and equally intent on learning the customs of men from him. Despite missing Beleg, Túrin finds the young prince as intriguing as he is insufferable.

Curiosity had long been Celebrimbor’s weakness, and as Annatar sprawled out beside him in the glow of the fire, he couldn’t help wondering over the Maiar’s true nature.

Summary
Arthur doesn't do well with change. Small changes he can handle, but large ones have always knocked him a little off kilter. Usually he can adjust, given enough time - get his footing back and walk it off.
