Summary
Things might have gone differently, had he not held me in his arms then. Had I not looked at him, with his own eyes, he might more easily have left me there in the straw.
Then it would not have been so hard for him, I think; to surrender me to another man’s care as I believe he had intended to do. It would have been the wiser choice. I would have remained an open secret: a transgression, once acknowledged, then discreetly set aside. Prince Chivalry’s honour would have suffered a bruising, but it would have remained intact.
Had my father not claimed me, he might still be alive.
But I named him. And with the old power that names hold, I sealed him to it, and thus to his fate. My father raised me as he would a true-born son, in a court where all recognised me as a catalyst.
And a Catalyst I became.

Summary
“Akielos is honoured to be of service to you.”
“The honour is ours,” said Laurent, “for having such a gracious host.” And before the court and Damen's parents, he bent his head as a knight might bend to his lady, reached down to take Damen's hand in his own, and raised it to his lips.

Summary
She saw at once that he lived, but she knew not what he was, one of the fishermen of Rómenna, or some lost voyager from Tol Eressëa, or else a token of some great evil to come; and she hesitated long over him, unsure whether to aid him or put him back out to sea. Till at last he half-woke, and saw above him a tall woman in a rich gown of blue and silver, and her long dark hair was bound with the same silver and shot through with it, and all about her the silver fog was winding. And he took her for an unhoused shade, and cried, “Have I come to Aman at last?”
Aragorn and Arwen, if Elrond and Elros had made different choices.

Summary
“You’re doing it again,” Bruce says, tone accusatory. “You’re faking.”
“It’s not faking,” Dick snaps, a little more aggressive than he means to be. But he doesn’t like that word, doesn’t like the connotations.
(Especially when he knows Bruce is lying about something, too.)
“Then what is it?”
“It’s called being charming and it’s nice.”
-_-
Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete.
Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.
