    Summary

    Canon divergence from 1x07. This follows their journey as Sauron struggles to unmake himself from the dark legacy Morgoth left upon him. Bound by past wounds and an uncertain future, they must confront their shared fates, questioning whether true redemption and peace can ever be achieved between light and shadow.

    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.
