    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

    When Mairon packed up and headed south for the Pastures he expected to lay low for a few years, just until Aulë’s urge to throw him from his Halls ebbed. What greeted him instead might just have been the single thing he’d never dared to ask for.

    OR: Alternative Universe. Mairon never gave in to Melkor’s temptation, but another did in his place. Artanis has her own issues with the growing discord in her family. None of it stops their growing interest in each other, but hard decisions still lay ahead and they don’t always pick the right path.

    Summary

    "Once upon a time there was a soldier, a great warrior of the elves. The youngest child and only daughter of a mighty family. And there was… what am I in this story? The monster, the king?”

    In trying to convince Halbrand to leave Númenor and take his place as king of the Southlands, Galadriel swears an oath to stand by him no matter what his past holds. This changes the history of Middle-earth for many centuries to come.

    [This is linked to the other stories in this collection - it's an expansion of one of the scenarios in the 5+1 story 'Five times Halbrand's secret got revealed' - but it's a standalone fic that should make sense by itself.]
