Summary
He was silent for a moment. She heard his cloak rustle, the sound of his hand grasp one of the bars. The gentle tap of his rings against the metal filled her ears, and she shut her eyes.
“When you denied an alliance with me, I found other means of quenching my thirst.”
“For violence and depravity?” she shot back.
“For vengeance,” he hissed. “Just as you sought yours. Keep your righteousness to yourself. I care not for it. These Men, these Númenóreans, fought against me in the Great War. Slew countless lives. With their pride and their arrogance in their mighty goodness. They thought they were better than the rest of us as you yourself believed you were better than me.” His voice dropped to a whisper. “I wanted to see them suffer. I have achieved so much more than that.”
Written for an anonymous tumblr prompt: During Ar-Pharazôn’s rule of Númenor when Sauron holds the position of the High Priest of Melkor, Galadriel is captured in the middle of a war, imprisoned, and handed over to him as a sacrifice to be made in the Temple of the High Priest, but Sauron has other plans. From Akallabêth to the founding of Gondor, unlikely allies are forged.

Summary
Sauron schemes and pines for power and a certain elf before stealing both the mithril and Fëanor's hammer. When he flees for Mordor, Galadriel takes chase, determined to save her people by any means necessary. Even then, can she truly be prepared to do whatever it takes, up to and including a fulfilling of her darkest dreams--dreams where the two come together in every possible way? Because it’s a fine line between love and hate, desire and despair.

Summary
“I asked for a handsome reward in exchange for Finrod Felagund’s life,” the man called out across the distance. He was tall, though not as tall as her brother, and dressed in swathes of black and grey, a loose hood shielding most of his face and hair from sight. “What do you bring me in exchange for him?”
“Galadriel, no—” Finrod began, but Galadriel cut him off.
“—Myself,” she answered his call, though it did not sound as assuring out loud as it had sounded to her before she left her home to make this perilous journey to come save her brother.
The black-robed figure chuckled in response. It started low, but it reached the distance all the way toward her. He grasped Finrod by the neck of his tunic, yanking him back. “What would I do with you?” he threw back at her. “You’re hardly a fair exchange for the warrior I hold in my grasp.”
During the First Age, the War of Wrath changes course. On the island of Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the Isle of Werewolves and one of Sauron’s former strongholds, is the seat of the Necromancer’s power. Instead of sending his wolves out to kill Finrod after capturing Felagund in his dungeons, Sauron demands an exchange for his life. Galadriel offers herself.

Summary
After the end of it all, ages after, Galadriel is called to Aman where a prisoner dwells in the shadows. A prisoner whose trial is at last approaching. And he will talk to one alone: Galadriel.
Galadriel must devise three trials to put Sauron through to prove he is worthy of redemption - and failure is not an option. After the first two trials were less than a success, Galadriel has to pull out all the stops for the third and she does not like it, at all. For the third trial will not only test Sauron but her as well. Because for this most crucial one, she will have to live through a time where when Sauron asks her to join him, she tells him yes.

Summary
It was not a task she had taken up lightly. His farce and betrayal had been deep. She had trusted him as her friend, and he had played the part very well, earning her faith and loyalty and following her where others of her own kind had feared to tread. The Elves had all but turned their backs on her, but he rode through water, fire, and dangerous land by her side—all the while knowing she sought him out in order to end his existence, but he pretended he was something else. He had used her need for retaliation against her to serve his own means, to entrap his own enemy, and he did it all with a smile on his face.
The hand upon her hilt shook ever so slightly, and a familiar voice called out to her from the shadows.
“Losing your resolve already?” he teased her in light mockery, a hint of laughter echoing afterwards. It resonated in the den of darkness before her, a haunting song that seemed to fill her ears to the brim with each echo. Predator and prey, but who was the hunter and who was the prey?

Summary
Balance. This world demands balance.
The words taste of oleander petals and belladonna berries, poisoned sweetness that coats her mouth; like bitter hemlock and sour monkshood.
“Then by all means,” Galadriel says, her throat tight. “Let us rule together.”

To stop the spread of evil, there is nothing Galadriel won't sacrifice – not even herself. And so, she accepts Sauron's proposal to rule at his side, to balance his darkness with her light. -

Summary
After the final Breaking of the World when existence is remade by its creator Eru Ilúvatar, second chances are possible. A little Artanis goes into the city with her brother, Finrod, and meets someone who isn't an Elf at the forge. Intrigued by Mairon, who is a Maia instead of an Elf like her, she keeps coming by to visit him throughout the years, and he visits her family, too. They develop a fast friendship, but the older Artanis becomes, the harder it is to remain just friends.
Written for a prompt asking for Sauron/Galadriel fic post-canon, post-LOTR, anything goes. This is where my mind went.

Summary
“Some women enjoy being fought over.”
She huffs with distaste. “No, they do not.”
She does not.
He waits a moment, tongue pressing into his cheek, rethinking his approach. “Dominated, then.”
The air in their small cell becomes increasingly thick, and she shifts uncomfortably before him, swallowing hard, and he knows he’s struck a nerve before she once again starts up her pacing.
—————
Galadriel and Sauron are imprisoned in the same cell in Númenor, where Galadriel’s questioning about Halbrand’s “dispute over a woman” leads to other things.

Summary
“Can I check how it fits?” Partly an excuse to touch her; partly a way to distract her from any worrying trains of thought like how long it should have taken a mortal man to make something like this; partly because he does, genuinely, want to see how well it fits.

Summary
There was a time when, with his speech, he could do and undo things as he pleased. He could cast his eyes onto whatever he liked—always the beholder, never held. He could fashion anything with only his mind and make it true, and terrible.

Summary
"Which time was it, love?” he murmured, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, letting his fingertips linger on its sensitive tip. “Was it the time I had you in the woods under the mallorn trees? The night in the fortress? You used to give so much to me. Now I have to send spies listening around the edges of the mountains just to learn what name you gave our child."
Celebrían is Sauron's daughter. Sauron finds out.
