Why this must be read:

They've escaped Thranduil's dungeons, but all is not yet well in the House of Durin. There are darker legends in Middle Earth that have truth to them.

One of the most intense and wonderful fics in the fandom, starts with whumped Kili, which is not unusual, but the nature of his injuries emerges slowly, and the responsibility of another member of the party comes to light.

Also contains slightly hysterical Laketowners, the disastrous tailer experience, Bifur's understanding of helpless agony, and in the end, the devestaing ceremony of unmaking and reforging.

“The blade was damaged. But like any true making, it can still be shaped into something useful and beautiful—more beautiful and useful, perhaps, than it first was.”
