    Summary

    One thing went differently in Númenor, and everything changed.

    She’s wary – of course she’s wary, in everything she’s wary – but she lets herself be distracted a little by Isildur’s ever-running flow of questions and tastes her food slowly, letting the crumbling cheese and the cut grapes linger on her tongue. She is not entirely the sharpened and determined blade she thinks herself; below the surface she is a creature of flesh and want, just like him.

    "You would bribe me.”
    “I wouldn’t dream of it.” Her hair curls in golden spirals around his fingers. “I like to give you things.”
    “You deceived me.”
    He considers this as if the very idea is new to him.

     
    Halbrand leaves Eregion before Galadriel becomes suspicious, and goes back to be King of the Southlands.

    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.]

    Summary

    When Jack sets out for his first run in the brand new War Rig, he's hoping for a quiet day. Instead, the run ends with his men dead and his convoy hijacked — and the biker holding a gun to his head turns out to be the daughter of Dementus himself.

    Dee doesn't think twice about telling the War Rig's praetorian to pull over and get out. For her, it's just another day in service of Gastown and the Biker Horde, doing what she has to do to survive. And she learned a long time ago that preserving her own life often comes at the cost of someone else's.

    But when the rest of her mission doesn't go as planned, that praetorian might just be the only person she can trust.

    Summary

    “You said you’ve been what you needed to be. To have any chance of avoiding the fate you fear, you must learn to become something truly different.” Even with it quiet upon her finger, Galadriel sank into the familiar flow of calm Nenya had helped her find within herself. “I came because I did not know if that's something you are capable of. I still don’t.”

    “And which outcome drove you to check?” he asked, his words tugging at the connection between them as though it were a net he could use to draw her to him. “My failure, or my success?”

    She turned back to the stars overhead, blinking away both the illusion and the tears that tried to dampen her lashes, and could not allow herself to reply.

    Summary

    After the devastating Battle of Gwathlo, the Elves finally subdued Sauron, using the very Rings of Power he sought to control. Delivered to Valinor for judgment, the Valar condemned him to an eternity in the Halls of Mandos, guarded by Mithrandir, a powerful wizard tasked with ensuring the Dark Lord never rises again. But mere weeks later, the unthinkable happens—Middle-earth begins to wither, its lands dying and its people fading.

    Desperate and out of options, the Alliance of Elves and Men must face an unholy truth: the only hope for saving their world lies in releasing the very evil they fought so hard to imprison. Galadriel, however, refuses to believe their salvation lies in Sauron’s hands—and she’ll do anything to stop it.

    Summary

    Just because Furiosa agreed to join Jack's crew doesn't mean she trusts him. All she wants is to learn what she can about road war, keep her head down, and go home — nothing more. But life as the Praetorian's apprentice comes with difficult War Boys, dangerous Wasteland gangs... and unexpected feelings.

    Set between "Stowaway" and "Homeward".

    Summary

    “What is this place to you?”

    She forces her gaze away from the horizon. Her eyes land on the space between their boots, the even smaller space between their hands, resting at their sides.

    Fear is no stranger to her, but this is fear of a new kind. It threatens to freeze her through, now with an end to her yearning at last in sight. She fears that if she takes a step towards it, it will all evaporate like a mirage, like the dream this must surely be. But if she takes a step away, she’s sure this threshold of possibility will be lost to her forever.

    So she nudges the back of her hand against the back of Jack’s. To make sure this is real. It isn’t until she feels Jack’s calloused fingertips slide between hers that she lets the vault deep down in the heart of her unlock.

    She looks up into his face when she says it: “Home.”

    Or:
    The canon-divergent fic where Furiosa and Jack escape the wasteland to another, softer life.

    Summary

    When he ran out the tank, he’d bike, then he’d run until he found whatever sandy pit his bones were supposed to be in. And he’d dig and dig until he found her wrinkly seed. He’d plant it by good water if he had to kill every man in the Waste. Then he could die.

     

    At the start of the 40 Day War, a crazed wastelander in the crew of Dementus slipped away and traded a mangled Praetorian for food and guzzolene. Jack is asked by fate to push ahead on new roads, always looking for the one that will bring him back.

    Summary

    She feels Jack's thumb trace the slope of her neck, just once. Just once, he skims a finger across the skin of her nape, unmarred for the last time. She can’t see him, but she can feel his reverence. And his mourning.

    How strange it is. All the things he does, all the risks he takes, just to keep her bruised, battered body safe.

     

    Despite Jack's efforts to prevent it, Furiosa must take the Immortan's mark.
