Mairon is leaving Celebrimbor to forge the One Ring. Or is he?

A reborn Celebrimbor has come to Middle-earth to search for Maglor.

He finds someone else.

Celebrimbor realises the truth about Annatar. He will keep the Three save at all cost.

“Feeling adventurous, sweet Tyelpe?”, Annatar asked in a teasing tone, his eyes glinting.

“Maybe?”, he answered lightly. He knew Annatar well enough to not say yes without hearing more, even with his mind fogged by pleasure.

“Well”, he said, lowering himself so their cheeks touched and he could whisper seductively into his ear. “I’m thinking, naughty elves need to be punished. No?” Annatar’s cock was digging into his hip and Celebrimbor could feel it twitch at the words.

Annatar questions Celebrimbor's philosophy while seducing him.

“Hm?”, the Maia hummed.
“There seems to be something wrong with the numbers”, he said. “I’ve noticed this before. It’s never by much, but there’s always more food ordered than actually is in our rations — and we already eat better than most soldiers.”

Sharû finds out about Mormirion's secret activities and confronts him about it.

Celebrían loves to explore caves.

The air is heavy tonight and Maedhros is restless. Something is brewing in Angband, making the sky glow.

Aredhel and Maeglin have been reborn and their family throws them a party.

They meet again by accident and that could have been all that was, if Glorfindel's never-voiced feelings for Rog hadn't come alive again.
Rog does not want to get tangled up in the affairs of the Noldor again, but how could he decline when Glorfindel asks him to come back with him to Middle-earth? That's what he has wanted since he was reborn, after all.
