    Summary

    “I stood there for a long time after Celebrían’s ship sailed, smiling slightly at the vast sway of the sea before me, rocking me to sleep as it swallowed my world whole. I thought, inexplicably, of my father Maedhros — his sea-serpent eyes, his shipwreck eyes. Pitch-black and lonely, as wide and fathomless as the sea. It felt almost serene, standing there, like despairing was just another word for living and that I could get used to it, like my father had done before me.”
    _____

    Elrond, Maedhros, Estel: a strange, cyclical story of fathers and sons, from an old sea-serpent washing up on the shores of Sirion, to a quiet moment by a duckpond in Imladris.

    Summary

    "Your song about the ghost, then," Maja asks warily. "It's just metaphorical, right?"
    "Yes, of course, absolutely metaphorical," Jaskier brightly assures her. "No ghosts here."
    Jaskier's favorite painting falls to the ground.
    "Bollocks."

     

    Aka: The one where Jaskier's cottage is maybe, possibly, just a teensy bit haunted.
