Summary
Sauron crashes an elf party, reveals a secret, and chaos ensues.
___“I mean to offer him the only terms he would accept so we can avert this war before it truly begins. Do you want a repeat of the War of the Jewels? Do you want to be as a Silmaril -- fought over, feared and desired in equal measure, bringing chaos to this continent and damning millions of souls? Because that, Artanis, is what would happen.” He raised his voice at her, yet she maintained her glare.

Summary
“Physical desire is a perfectly manageable thing. There is no reason to perform such an act for the sake of the act itself, biologically speaking,” the elf speaks to him slowly, as one might when explaining something to a very stupid, albeit endearing, pet. “Unless one is engaged in the reproductive pursuit of conceiving a child, of course.”
A swig of the mulled wine manages to get unpleasantly lodged in Halbrand's windpipe. “Oh,” her eyes narrow at the thinly disguised laughter in the wet of his cough; other patrons around them turning to investigate the source of such a noise. “Oh—Galadriel.”
Or: Galadriel is a 5,000 year old virgin, and Halbrand decides to change that.

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
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
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
“You are frowning.”
His lids drooped as Galadriel reached up to brush her thumb along the crease between his brows. Halbrand didn’t remember her coming over, but now she stood between his legs, mist at her hairline and yet smelling only of sweet blooms and fresh grass. The scent of the Valar. A taste of home.
“I am drunk,” he announced.

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
The line between lies and truth is fine indeed.
No one knows that better than Halbrand.
“I cannot help but be curious…what happens,” he sneered, “When she finds out? Do you truly believe that the golden princess of the Noldor will forgive you? Do you think she will grant you absolution?” The air was silent until --
“Do you truly believe that she will want you?”

Summary
"Halbrand and I are just sleeping together. Plenty of people do that with their exes."
Elrond looks as though he is staving off a migraine. "Yes, I agree, loads of people have bad ideas. Is there some sort of competition you're seeking to win? A medal for 'most likely to detonate a ticking time bomb', perhaps?"
She scoffs. "You're missing the point; it doesn't mean anything. I hardly even see him any more than I used to since we started splitting custody of Celebrian—don’t give me that look, it makes me feel like you don't believe me—"
"Well, for one, you are FaceTiming me from his bed."
Or: Modern AU. Galadriel is having no-strings-attached sex with her ex-husband, Halbrand. Strings so unattached you wouldn't believe. (Seriously.)

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
Aleksander has been a thorn in Alina’s side since the moment she touched down in-country, and time has not made their relationship any less hostile and antagonistic. Alina knows her credibility — knows that the head of the NCTC back in Arlington had vouched for her when her name was put in the running for the operation — but she also knows that she’s young. Knows how she looks to these men, whose egos are rivaled perhaps only by their superiors. Aleksander Kirigan is no exception.
War brings out the worst in people — and on rare occasions, the best. Alina is never sure if she's looking at the best or the worst of Aleksander, but she's looking all the same.
British SAS Officer Aleksander and Military Intelligence Analyst Alina AU.

Summary
They begin their lives together on July 18th in a large, brick house near the water in Grenada, Mississippi. They are given a childhood of warmth — of welcome curiosity, of hushed secrets, of delicate, fragile serenity under the watchful eye of ancient trees, blessed with the gift of never knowing profound, natural solitude.
"There is you," Aleksander always says, "and there is me."
They begin their death together too, in a tiny, one-bedroom apartment on the southern tip of Middlesex County up in New Jersey, where they attended university the way they did everything else: joined by the hip.
Theirs is a history still being written. Sometimes in pencil, sometimes in ink.

Summary
“Are you my father,” she asks him, eyes shining with dread and hope.
He looks troubled. Dark eyes, her eyes, stare back down at her unblinking. Lips turning down into a frown.
“I’m not your father, dear heart,” he tells her, voice low and warm like a father’s should be. Sinks down to one knee, those eyes nearly level with her own. “But mama has kept many secrets from the both of us, it would seem.”

Summary
“You misunderstand, Alina,” Nikolai licks his lips. “I’m not giving you to the Darkling.”
“Oh?”
“We intend to share you,” Aleksander’s nose skims the vulnerable junction of her neck, voice low enough that she feels it scrape in her bones.
