Gil-galad found that battles in Valinor were not that different from battles anywhere else, even if they used words instead of swords. It was still a fight against despair and loss, with reminders of the cost of failure lurking behind every corner.

Celebrían and Eärwen speak of husbands, children, and forgiveness. 

She fell in the darkness of the forest, a poisoned arrow in her shoulder, her youngest daughter clasped in her arms, and Celeborn likely the one to find them. 

But she escaped the Dark Rider, and that was close enough to victory. 

Sauron is now Ar-Pharazôn's greatest adviser.

Nimloth doesn't want her father or Lúthien's to know they're together. 

It's not because they would disapprove.

Tinfang is accounted one of the greatest minstrels, along with Maglor and Daeron.

In spite of this, the musical abilities of all three outside of sheer performance skills are described in less detail in The Silmarillion than other characters like Finrod. This essay attempts to gather the quotes that suggest Tinfang's degree of power and influence over objects and people in his original context.

Having recently arrived in Valinor, the three greatest minstrels of Middle-earth are told they will participate in a contest against singers from Valinor.

Daeron thinks Maglor is taking this competition far too seriously.

At the beginning of the Third Age, Doriath is long gone with most of its people. Fëanor, Fingolfin, and their children are long gone as well.

Elrond might never know how these words were originally spoken, for all they are written down in his library.

Celebrían wants to keep anyone in the future from wondering how their poems are meant to be spoken.

After Nimloth's rebirth, she plots to scandalize the elves of Valinor with clothes.

Anairë has worn this outfit before, and she knows it will not go over any better now than it did then.

In a different world, Andreth wanders to the East and meets another wise-woman instead of Aegnor.

In Doriath, Galadriel and Nimloth discuss the art of the Noldor and the art of the Sindar, and whether Lúthien is the equivalent of Nerdanel.

A collection of short vignettes concerning Elmo (with appearances by basically all his family and quite a few members of Finwë's family prior to going to Valinor, among others).

Morwë and Nurwë may have been left behind with the rest of their family with no knowledge of events in Valinor (and little of what happens in Doriath), but the servants of Morgoth roam their woods as well.

Maedhros looks at the sleeping twins and says they look like their great-grandfather.

Maglor knows Maedhros thinks Elrond and Elros look like someone else, as well.
