Summary
“This all sounds delightfully convenient for the tale you wish me to believe. But I need proof.”
“Proof?” she wondered aloud.
“Of your intent,” he smirked. “Kiss me.”
Galadriel continued to meet his gaze, defiant and enduring. “A true king would court his chosen queen first.”
“Have I not courted you for years now, Elf?” Sauron trailed two fingers over her cheek, pressed them gently at the hinge of her jaw. “Ah I see,” he added, observing every small change in her expression. “You desire the man. Let it never be said that I would deny you, my queen.”

Have you ever kissed you enemy so hard you end up trapped together in a mind-labyrinth?
Written for the 2026 Haladriel fic exchange.

Summary
At last, she sensed his tangible form advancing on the battlefield, and prayed he would remain occupied. Hoped it would remain so until after she reached the forge, at least.
Down, she journeyed into the dark. Down, she witnessed a great maw opening up before her—the Hellmouth enticing her further into the bowels of Barad-dûr.
Heat licked at her arms; yet gooseflesh prickled from wrists to elbows and she shuddered. The scraping grew louder within her mind. Indistinguishable from the screams drifting from outside; the memories she carried whenever she dwelled upon watching Halb—no, Sauron, at work.

What if your closest friend was stuck for months-years in a SIEGE and you need to use your advanced mind powers to distract your EX? Meanwhile, your near-grown daughter has done some MATHS and is having an existential crisis.
(A Last Alliance-Third Age AU combined with The Rings of Power's compressed timeline - which isn't at all rage inducing!)
