Summary
She interrogates her memories as if they were soldiers returning from a campaign. It has been long years since she led anyone into battle herself - she has commanders of her own now who carry out the orders she gives from within her gold-wreathed forest - but at these times she remembers it all. Snow and camp-fire smoke, exhaustion, answers. How ruthless she’d been. How she hadn’t been ruthless enough.
Prompt for the word 'Memory' on Bluesky.

The head healer tells him that a ranger from the north called Aragorn pulled him back from the edge of darkness.

Summary
For centuries he had called to her, reached for her. She remained stubborn in her refusal to hear him and it had provoked his all too volatile rage. But now she wielded a piece of his soul. Now she had made him whole.
What an honour to be tenderly knitted back together by one so enchanting. What a fool he had been to believe that such an act indicated supplication, that he could resume his control of her. Too late he realised Galadriel held his heart in every conceivable way, that she could both love and devour him, unmaking her gift with a simple thought.

Third Age Canon Divergence where Galadriel accepts the One Ring from Frodo and combines it with Nenya to resurrect Sauron completely. It doesn't go how he hoped.
(Additional relationship tag is for Chapter 2 only. This remains FIRMLY a Haladriel/Saurondriel fic!)

Summary
Fingolfin should have found himself in front of the Judge himself. The same Judge that had spoken their Doom, tried to keep them in Valinor and undoubtedly had heard every single time they cursed his name.
Except he was not in Mandos. At least, not unless the Halls were completely different to every tale of them, and were in fact light, airy, and smelling vaguely of honeysuckle. -

Summary
The Age of Men is beginning, and with it the Age of Elves ending. Many of the eldar sail West to Valinor, but a few remain steadfast in Middle Earth, ignoring the calls of the gulls and the tantalizing break of waves on the sea.
Some elves are younger than others. One particular elf, actually, is very young and energetic to a fault. Haerandir has not been in one place for longer than two decades since before he was even technically and adult, and has his sights on the creation of a grand catalogue of all the creatures, animal and plant alike, in Middle Earth. There is much to study, many interesting people to meet, and many interesting things to do! Especially now, as Sauron is defeated, Haerandir is no longer obliged to spend time "fighting orcs" or "defending Middle Earth" and has more capacity to do fun things like follow deer around and talk to trees.
This is set kind of in the middle ground between the third and fourth ages, and will not include a lot of reference to canon characters. It's mostly just a way to talk about my favorite LOTR OC. He's just a silly guy.
