Summary
The loose sleeves of her nightdress bared her wrists, wherein her pulse raced. She was not unconscious of how Sauron – in the physical form of a Man – was drawn to these slight glimpses of her pale, bare skin. Her hands and wrists, feet and ankles. The line of her neck beneath her golden waterfall of hair. She had in nothing but the body she’d been born with the power to distract him, this great, dark being who was responsible for the slaying of thousands. Sauron couldn’t keep his eyes from straying here and there. There was a pit low in her belly that yawned and yearned at this knowledge, and for a moment, Galadriel felt her heart beat faster. She wondered if his senses were keen enough to notice.
The war against Morgoth is beginning to go poorly for the Elves, so Galadriel sets out to seduce their enemy's most powerful general. It turns out that Sauron is very easy to seduce.

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
“I asked for a handsome reward in exchange for Finrod Felagund’s life,” the man called out across the distance. He was tall, though not as tall as her brother, and dressed in swathes of black and grey, a loose hood shielding most of his face and hair from sight. “What do you bring me in exchange for him?”
“Galadriel, no—” Finrod began, but Galadriel cut him off.
“—Myself,” she answered his call, though it did not sound as assuring out loud as it had sounded to her before she left her home to make this perilous journey to come save her brother.
The black-robed figure chuckled in response. It started low, but it reached the distance all the way toward her. He grasped Finrod by the neck of his tunic, yanking him back. “What would I do with you?” he threw back at her. “You’re hardly a fair exchange for the warrior I hold in my grasp.”
During the First Age, the War of Wrath changes course. On the island of Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the Isle of Werewolves and one of Sauron’s former strongholds, is the seat of the Necromancer’s power. Instead of sending his wolves out to kill Finrod after capturing Felagund in his dungeons, Sauron demands an exchange for his life. Galadriel offers herself.

Summary
For the briefest moment, Alicent had felt warm. Alive in her own body. Like pulling back a curtain ever so slightly and seeing a brilliant sliver of light cut through the dark. Knowing that there is more, that beyond the curtain, there is a sky of brilliant light just waiting to be revealed—
It is hope. A terrible thing. So distressingly fragile, spinning into a thousand delicate possibilities. The possibility of more clasped hands, more kind words. Rhaenyra, back in her life. Not an enemy, not at odds with her. Maybe… maybe impish Rhaenyra, stealing her books. Telling her about Old Valyria. Her dearest friend. A light beyond the curtain.
OR
What happens when D'Cooke's vision of Rhaenicent ruling together inspires a 180k fix-it. Canon-divergence starts from s1e8. Instead of dying and ruining everything, Vizzy does everyone in Westeros a solid and hangs in there long enough for our ladies to reconcile and prepare to co-queen. Alternating POVs with dual POVs for the first and final chapters. If there are specific TWs for a chapter I will include them in the AN.
