    Summary

    Freed after three ages in chains, Melkor returns to Valinor cloaked in false penitence, sowing discord among the Noldor. Yet when his gaze falls upon Lady Artanis - not yet Galadriel, but already radiant and unyielding - his hunger for light stretches beyond the Silmarils.

    His plan is set: destroy the Two Trees, steal the Silmarils, and take her with them.

    But in the depths of Angband, it is Sauron - Melkor’s most trusted servant - who becomes her jailor. To him she is not merely a prize nor a challenge, but a reflection of all he has lost, and a vision of what he might still claim.

    Caught between Melkor’s shadow and Sauron’s relentless design, Galadriel must face a terrible choice: surrender her light, or let it burn brighter than ever. Even if it consumes her.

    —————

    OR: a First Age AU where Melkor covets not only the Silmarils, but the Elf whose hair inspired their creation.

    Summary

    Sauron did not lose the ability to take a fair form in the Second Age. And so when he learns news about the One Ring in the Shire, he sets off in disguise to recover it himself.

    Featuring a debatably redeemable Sauron trying to clean up his messes, a Galadriel who likes him more than she should, and a few members of the Fellowship of the Ring scratching their head over this new puzzle.

    Summary

    They write each other hundreds of letters, delivered in hundreds of different ways. Letters that taunt, letters that curse, letters that mourn, that plead, that beg. A lifetime of love and hate and sorrow captured in words.

    And the Ranger finds each and every one.

    OR

    .
    Not even war can keep them apart. Galadriel, Sauron, and their letters to one another throughout the age — and the daughter who eventually fits the pieces together.

    Inspired by This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.

    Summary

    “Hello, darling.”

    It is the wolf that speaks at first with a deep, spit-wet growl; but when Galadriel’s eyes adjust to the bleak starlight, the monster she seeks is human Halbrand again, leaning against a tree that quivers with fear. His eyes are bright and reflective as fiery opals, shining back at her where the rest of his body remains edgeless, smudged in nightshadow.

    Her arrow points at where the hollow of his throat should be, but it does not spring through the air as she hoped.

    “Tresspasser,” she acknowledges.

     

    Or: Celebrian gets lost in the woods. Her father brings her home.
