Bella and Lúthien name the planet Mîr, which is Thindarin for "jewel". They bop around granting wishes. Eventually they work out a six-wish-per-world setup for persistent mortality solutions.

Bella's parents are not informed that their daughter is married.

"It's weird that they can't just tell."

"Well, and Elves can't tell by looking at me."

"You don't have the sense of me, right? I think maybe between species that soul-bond and ones that don't it's just one-sided."

"Yeah. It's a pity, it does sound really nice."

"It is! But it's also forever so if humans don't fall in love forever it's probably good they don't soulbond forever. Or, like, your parents."

"Yeah, I probably wouldn't actually, but if it were just a little tweaked I would..."

"Could maybe get someone to wish it, if you really wanted. Your mom seems like she might."

"I'd want longer to think about it. And it would be pretty awkward to ask my mom, really, I am hoping to avoid explaining Elf marriage to my parents entirely."

"Fair enough. I wouldn't have told mine if not telling them was an option."

"Mine can know that we are an item and when we are thinking about planning a human-type wedding they can know we're engaged and when there is a party they can show up to they will know we're married. Otherwise it would be very 'hi guys I'm telling you about my sex life for no reason'."

"Guess so. Sorry, um, everyone in Arda knows."

"Yeah. I mean, I guess it's sort of customary there? To look at people and be like 'aha, you have had sex!'? Whereas this is extremely implicit-only with humans, extra inferential step. I'm guessing Elves usually don't go on to think about the details all that much but I bet we have provoked at least a little 'but wait they're girls how does that even work' from people with very limited imaginations... Whatever, I can live with that, but my parents get the bowdlerized version."

"Lots of people in Doriath were in fact thinking 'wait they're girls how does that even work'! I tried not to judge them because a year ago that'd have been me. But yeah. Your parents are okay. And I like the idea of a nice human wedding in Canada too."

"Fancy white dresses are customary."

"You'll be so pretty!!!"

Giggle. "So will you!"

"I am going to compose a really beautiful song about you."

"I love you."

"It'll be a really beautiful song about being in love with you!"

Giggle. "I have no comparable craft to reciprocate with, alas."

"You fix planets. That's a pretty great craft."

"But I don't know how to fix a planet about you!"

"Every planet where things are nice and everything's pretty and people are safe but not - not kept small, not tied down  - is a planet about me."

"If you say so." Snuggle.
