Summary
“I’m Aleksander,” he continues and she nods as if that explains why she’s in this strange room and why he opened the door because—
“Where is Matthias?” she asks, voice trembling just enough that she knows he noticed. “I was with him last night, I don’t—” she cuts herself off, shaking her head. It’s all just so confusing and her head has started to throb dully. “I don’t know how I got here. I don-don’t remember.”
Aleksander steps forward and when Alina doesn’t shy away he disentangles her hand from her dress where she’d been anxiously wringing it and leads her out of the room, throws a “Let’s go find him” over his shoulder with a wink and a smile. His hand is warm around hers and she clings to him trotting along to keep up with his long strides.
or: the holiday season is in full swing when she's taken

Summary
Frodo fails.
The good people of Middle Earth succumb to the rule of the One Ring and its only master, Sauron. In his victory, he promises only a cruel decimation of the world as he reforges it in his image. Except, of course, his chief adversary needs to make things more complicated. Another bargain struck. An accord for a hand in marriage, in exchange for a fading chance to save Middle Earth from utter ruin.
(Sequel to "A Stressed Tiding.")

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
"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.)
