Bella has a gift for it. She thinks even the Noldor are impressed, though they don't show it much.

Permalink

Bella is not doing this to impress Noldor she is doing this because if she makes the right phone calls and grants the right wishes she can eradicate iodine deficiency it's so great.

Permalink

Yeah of course but impressing people who set up kingdoms in five years flat and have been at war with an evil god for three hundred means you're pretty impressive.

Permalink

True, true.

Arda gets twenty-first century medical technology and distributes it to the local humans. A lot of diseases are eradicated on both worlds.

Eventually Bella finds a discreet moment to ask Fingon if by any chance he and/or Maedhros checked to see if there was, like, a reason Elves aren't allowed to be gay, by any chance, or if it's the same sort of nonsense as on Earth.

"I don't know what kind of nonsense it is on Earth. There is not, in fact, a reason. If any problems manifest they take more than fifteen hundred years to do so."

Permalink

"It's religion stuff on Earth but without the actual gods running around," Bella explains. "Thank you."

Permalink

"Maedhros says you'll be good for each other and I have never known him to be wrong."

Permalink

"If it were not for her parents and intimidating levels of monogamy..."

Permalink

"His impression was that you'd find having someone's undying devotion very flattering, and that she needs you and is her best self around you and you'd find that flattering too. But, yes, don't go for it if you don't want her for a long time."

Permalink

"Oh, yes, immensely flattering, but I would like more data before I decide I'm sure I want her for a long time which I can't get without having so decided and it's annoying. Also she thinks her parents would take centuries to get over it."

Permalink

"Mine never would. Maedhros' father might kill him, he is unpredictable when upset. So, yes, that's likely."

Permalink

"I'm not saying I would have the worst possible inlaws of all time, just, yikes."

Permalink

"Do resets reset time in both worlds?"

Permalink

"Yes, or she would have been gone 'longer'."

Permalink

"So there's no way to find an uninhabited universe, spend a month checking how you feel about having a demigod in love with you, and reset if the answer is 'not good'. A shame. It'd make quite a story."

Permalink

"Well, that and she's looped in with me."

Permalink

He shakes his head. "Well. Good skill."

Permalink

"Thanks."

Permalink

They can recommend some people to get her remaining wishes for which people in Arda are better suited, too.

Permalink

That's very helpful of them.

Permalink

"Once regular transport is available we should probably also introduce ourselves to the King of your nation, set extradition treaties and trade agreements and so forth."

Permalink

"My nation has a President. But yes."

Permalink

"Are you the person to arrange the introductions, or should we do it ourselves, or should we wait until magic is more widely known in your world and the arrival of aliens will be less disruptive?"
