Whims of Time and Fate by QuillAndInkWrites
Fanwork Notes
Regarding content warnings: There is a scene with brief on-screen, non-fatal violence in chapter 2, followed by off-screen (as in, insinuated but not directly shown) minor character death. There are slightly more detailed warnings in the beginning notes of chapter 2 for those who want them.
Every chapter has Neo-Khuzdul translations, in order of appearance, in the end notes. Please let me know if I forgot something! I don't include place names (eg. Khazad-dum) in my translations.
Thank you to my friend Arden (who currently doesn't have a SWG account) for being my lovely beta <3

Table of Contents
Content warnings for chapter 2: After the first line break, in the italicized section, there is a brief fight in which one character is non-fatally stabbed. Directly afterwards, there is a public execution by beheading — the death itself is off-screen, but only barely, and the intent is clear. There is no violence outside of the italicized section.
