Summary
Surely the king’s wrath would pass eventually. He couldn’t bear the thought of lingering here long after the others sailed; as the days turned into years and the years into an Age. He would endure anything to escape the endless silence.

Summary
“How could I sit with her without doing everything in my power to fight the evil that has taken her parents? Everything in my power to prevent other children ending up the same way?”
Elrond shook his head thoughtfully. “That is what motivates me with every military party.”
He did not mention that it was not only the orphans he desperately wished to protect when he ventured outside of the city. Perhaps most of all, he was motivated to safeguard Galadriel herself.
---
Or, Galadriel struggles, trapped in Imladris by her wound from Morgoth's crown - until she starts caring for a young girl from Eregion with a broken arm. As Elrond observes their interactions, his own emotions grow stronger.

Summary
Walking past Elrond and Galadriel, she takes her leave and excuses herself. Out into the courtyard, her eyes begin to well up in tears. Taking tiny steps further down the path, she hears Elrond declare, “That necklace meant a lot to the both of you.” Facing her friend, she softly answers, “It means little to me now, and less with each passing day.” Bowing her head, she continues her walk while Elrond hurries his steps. Stopping her in her tracks, “I don’t understand how you don’t even feel her,” Elrond’s confused face gets Solaris to ask, “How could I?” Tilting his head to the side, “The tension is palpable, the feelings are real. How long must you stay mad at her? Resisting your bond will only aggravate the pain.”
“There is no bond, Elrond.” Solaris professes. Much to her discomfort, “My heart was emptied from the moment she left Valinor.” Tears fall as she chokes out, “What you see now, is a soulless type of love.”

Summary
The soft light of morning filtered through the windows of the Rivendell kitchen, casting a warm glow over the quaint space adorned with wooden beams and lush greenery. Elrond had just finished tending to Galadriel’s wounds, careful to bind the gash on her arm with gentle precision. He had been firm—”You need to rest, my lady.”—but he knew better than to believe she would comply for long.
As he organized the herbs in the apothecary, a faint sound wafted through the air, causing him to furrow his brow.
The unmistakable clatter of pots and pans echoed from the kitchen, followed by the unmistakable scent of something baking. Elrond quickly set aside his work and ventured toward the kitchen, dread and curiosity swirling in his mind. What trouble has she gotten herself into this time?
As he stepped through the arched doorway, he paused, utterly baffled by the sight before him...

Summary
The town had an air of decay—salted wood groaned underfoot, ropes creaked in the whistling wind, and the sea slapped against the Driftmark harbor with a briny stench that clung to everything. Galadriel and Elrond rode in, their cloaks billowing as they passed watchful, unfriendly gazes. Driftmark was known for its contract work, but elves were hardly welcome here. Whispers slid from open doorways, and suspicious eyes glinted under pulled-down hoods.
They stopped outside a rundown tavern, its windows murky with grease and smoke.
Galadriel swung down from her horse first, her blonde hair and cool gaze cutting through the filth of the street. Elrond followed, curls sticking to his brow as he surveyed the room through narrowed, dark eyes. Inside, the murmur of conversation dulled as they entered. Human men—drunk, slouched, and smelling of stale ale—shifted uncomfortably but kept their eyes on the strangers.
Galadriel swept a glance over the room, unimpressed, and strode toward the counter. Elrond followed at her side, the two of them moving in seamless unity, their footsteps muffled but heavy on the creaky wooden floor...

Summary
In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, Middle Earth faces an ominous new threat. The once-vigilant elves have grown complacent, while the prosperous dwarves feel the creeping unease of a dark force lurking in the shadows. The realms of men are in disarray—dark cults rise in the East, enslaving people to the will of Morgoth, while in the West, envy festers as mortals covet the immortality of their long-lived neighbors.
As a sinister shadow stirs in the East, watching and waiting for the perfect moment to strike, the Free Peoples of Middle Earth find themselves unprepared. With their leaders struggling to keep the growing darkness at bay, the Deceiver readies to unleash his malevolent plans. The fragile peace of the Second Age is about to be shattered, and as desires for immortality and power continue to fuel his schemes, the Deceiver threatens to engulf all of Middle Earth in chaos.
As the Second Age draws to a close, will the Free Peoples unite in time, or will they fall prey to the Deceiver's cunning manipulation? The fate of Middle Earth hangs in the balance.

Summary
Story takes place before the events of Rings of Power.
Elrond needs a break. So does Camnir. But when they both try to relax, drama ensues.
This is how I imagine Camnir and Elrond might first meet and become friends.
It gets quite emotional.'My work!' he shouted abruptly, making the other elf jump. Elrond glanced around at the drawings floating on the breeze and hanging from tree branches. He started picking them up (...). Camnir was now on his feet, frantically searching for his maps.
‘Camnir…,’ he began quietly, ‘please, call me Elrond… just Elrond.’ He looked at him, a pained expression on his face. Oh, how he wished he could go back in time and change the events of the day before—he should have told him the truth right away. But he hadn’t, and he knew he was wrong. All he could do now was beg for forgiveness.
‘Please, if you could walk with me and give me a chance to explain…,’ he began. -

Summary
The forge glowed with a gentle, fiery light as Elrond stood in Celebrimbor’s workshop, his hands steady but his heart pounding. The heat of the flames licked at the air, casting warm shadows over the workbench where a small, unfinished gold ring lay. His mind raced with thoughts of Galadriel—her laugh, her strength, her kindness—and the weight of what he was crafting felt heavier with each passing moment.
He wiped the sweat from his brow, fingers trembling as he carefully shaped the band, his thoughts entirely focused on the woman he loved. Every detail of the ring had been carefully considered—the gold, as bright and pure as her spirit, and small stones he had chosen for the ring...

Summary
Finrod was leaning back in his chair, a soft smile playing on his lips as he recounted a particularly amusing tale from one of his many adventures. Orodreth, his hand lazily poking at the fire with an iron poker, chimed in with witty remarks, earning playful jabs from Aegnor, who, as usual, was full of sharp quips. Angrod, always the quieter of the brothers, sat with a contented expression, nodding along to their banter.
But amidst the glow of familial comfort, Galadriel sensed something… off.
Her gaze drifted across the room, past the smiling faces of her brothers, and landed on the figure seated slightly apart from them—Elrond. The half-elf, so often a quiet observer, was sitting in a low chair by the window, his small frame barely visible in the shadows. He seemed transfixed by the flames, his posture stiff, eyes locked on the dancing embers as if trying to draw strength from their warmth. His dark hair, usually neatly combed, was tousled from restless movements, and his hands were clenched tightly in his lap. His brow was furrowed, and though his expression was blank, the slight tremble of his shoulders betrayed the fear creeping up on him...

Summary
Elrond hadn’t left the apothecary in days. The air was thick with the scent of herbs, salves, and potions, the only light coming from the flickering lamps casting shadows on the shelves. His back ached—no, throbbed—with every movement. The pain had crept up from his lower spine, winding up to his nape and burrowing itself into his skull, like a relentless, gnawing pressure. He’d lost track of how many patients had come through: soldiers injured in patrols, the sick, the weary—all needing his care. He could barely stand upright now, but he forced himself to keep going, teeth clenched, eyes tired but determined.
As he ground up another herb with trembling hands, his fingers fumbled, and the mortar slipped. It clattered to the floor, and he winced as the sharp pain in his back seized him. A soft whimper escaped his lips, but he quickly stifled it, leaning heavily on the workbench to keep himself upright...

Summary
The apothecary was dimly lit, the soft glow of flickering lanterns casting a warm, amber hue across the stone walls, where shelves upon shelves of dried herbs and potions lined the space. The faint scent of lavender, mint, and elfroot filled the air, mingling with the earthy aroma of parchment and ink. Mortar and pestle, glass vials, and bundles of medicinal herbs were scattered across the wooden workbench, all signs of Elrond’s meticulous labor. The room itself, though quiet, hummed with the energy of someone who had been relentlessly pouring their heart and soul into their work.
Galadriel entered the apothecary silently, her footsteps barely a whisper on the cool stone floor. She had come here with a sense of certainty, knowing exactly what she would find. Elrond had been working far too late again. His dedication to his patients—both the wounded and the weary—had long crossed the line into obsession over the past few weeks. There was always something to tend to, always someone in need of care, whether it was a fevered elf from the patrols or a human traveler from the surrounding villages suffering from an unknown ailment.
As she approached his desk, the sight confirmed her suspicions...

Summary
The afternoon sun draped Rivendell in a warm golden glow, casting sparkles over the leaves that had begun to turn vibrant shades of amber and gold. It was the kind of day that practically begged for fresh air and fun, especially for one particular two-year-old with an endless supply of energy.
Liel, the spirited nephew of Galadriel and Elrond, was a bundle of joy and mischief, and his brown curls bounced wildly with every tiny step he took. He was racing through the lush grass, his giggles ringing out like a cheerful melody that echoed through the valley. With his wide, curious eyes sparkling with mischief, he darted around like a little deer, expertly evading Elrond’s outstretched arms. For someone so small, Liel had mastered the art of escape: each time Elrond thought he had him, Liel would squeal with delight and take off in the opposite direction, the soft autumnal green of his tunic already smeared with the evidence of his little adventures. Dirt smudged his knees, and there were faint traces of whatever he had been snacking on earlier, possibly a few crumbs from those famous elven lembas biscuits one may say.
