    Summary

    That night on the parapet, Valjean forces Javert to live. Some time later, Javert finds himself returning the favor. 

    "Do you think," Javert said slowly, in a tone that perhaps meant to mock but trembled with another emotion entirely, "that once you have saved a life, you must also save that man's soul?"

    "I know nothing of saving souls," Valjean said. "My soul was bought for God, not saved. But it is my belief that you are better than the fate to which you have consigned yourself."

    Summary

    The scenes leading up to the Council of Elrond have a lot of unanswered questions. Why didn't Elrond know where Aragorn was during Frodo's feast, or that his sons had returned? Who arranged that very odd head table seating and why? Where was Boromir that he could show up "in the grey morning" just in time? And why did Aragorn bring Narsil to the Council meeting anyway?

    With many thanks to my long suffering beta readers - Marta, Arandil, RiverOtter and Patti, and to Tanaqui as well. For Starlight - who wanted mysteries solved.

    He dies in a forest fire from smoke inhalation, gasping as he watches trees burn and grass wilt into ash.

    Or: Bunnymund learns that being a guardian and that being a friend are not so terribly different.

    Summary

    The night is full of gleaming sand and fantastical shapes, and it has been that way for as long as Jack can remember. Since a time when a glance his way was a treasure to be prized, Sandy has offered smiles. Since a time when attention was rare enough to be near-nonexistent, the forms of other people's dreams have reacted to his presence, come close to caper about him.

    Now Jack knows that the small man who comes nightly atop his cloud of dreams is not too busy to disdain company on his perch. Now he knows that Sandy doesn't mind said company leaning against him, pleasantly drowsy with the effects of sleep sand. Now he knows that the dreamsmith likes off-handed comments about the glittering scene unfolding in the darkened world below. "Lemme guess – the unicorn's for Cupcake," and "That spaceship is way cooler than the one last week," and "Only five heads? C'mon, don't be stingy."
