o’er the wasteland, a radiant relief by eastwynds for jhalya

Summary
She must appear as some drowned specter, climbing up from the riverbank with the hem of her white gown dragging behind her, dripping hair hanging heavy around her shoulders. She smolders with a dark inner heat, as though her blood has turned to molten metal in her veins.
The ring — his ring — burns in the palm of her hand, alive with wordless whisperings that claw and pry at the tender edges of her mind. She does not need to hear words to know what it whispers.
Galadriel. Galadriel. Galadriel.
. . .Or: It’s Galadriel who finds the One Ring at the bottom of the river.
Written for the Gifts of the Valar Exchange 2024.

Summary
Letting go is not what Galadriel does, not when she’s set her mind to something.
She needs Halbrand to make it. She needs him to survive. And she needs him, more than she can possibly allow herself to think about.
...Or: what happened during the six days that Galadriel & Halbrand were travelling from the Southlands/Mordor to Eregion

Summary
Aulë did not sing with Melkor. But he did create the dwarves against the design of the One, a boisterous act of rebellion - and yet his stone children were granted breath and life and flourish today in their mines. It was his repentance that spared their kind, his willingness to make amends.
Melkor's repentance was always false. And when Aulë sensed the growing presence of a familiar spirit, and then a great tempest at sea, he knew plenty of his order believed Mairon to be false, as well - always would. But eternity offers ample chance to learn from the past and to reshape the future. By the time Artanis called for him by name, he had little choice but to answer.
///
When Galadriel told Halbrand to bind himself to her, he wasn't the only one listening. And when our favorite immortal idiots fall in love, new possibilities for the future emerge. A mystical bond between them takes the form of a chain in the unseen world, and strange dreams of the future suggest that Galadriel was right all along - they were brought together for a purpose. But once she discovers the truth, will she be willing to see that purpose fulfilled?

Summary
“He is here,” came Mithrandir’s voice. A statement, not a question. She did not turn to him but nodded, still tracing the rigging with her fingertips. “And I was wrong,” he added.
She looked up then.
“I did not believe there would be anything left but an impotent spirit of malice.”
“What are you telling me?” Uncertain, searching her friend’s face for answers.
“There will be a reckoning in Aman."
----------
A tale following our favorite fated pair from the beginning of the Fourth Age to beyond the Dagor Dagorath.

Summary
Galadriel does not need to ride to the south to find a war, for she feels like she has been waging one against herself since the moment Elrond pulled her out of that river.
But how can she avenge a man who doesn’t exist by striking at the very enemy who brought him into being in the first place? The same enemy whose monstrous heart she’d somehow felt beating as the mirror of her own?
...
Post-Season 1 AU. Galadriel reckons with the aftermath of Halbrand's betrayal & her conflicted feelings. But the true plan to be enacted in the event of Morgoth's defeat has not yet come to pass, & she may need Sauron to fight at her side again to save Middle Earth.

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
He was silent for a moment. She heard his cloak rustle, the sound of his hand grasp one of the bars. The gentle tap of his rings against the metal filled her ears, and she shut her eyes.
“When you denied an alliance with me, I found other means of quenching my thirst.”
“For violence and depravity?” she shot back.
“For vengeance,” he hissed. “Just as you sought yours. Keep your righteousness to yourself. I care not for it. These Men, these Númenóreans, fought against me in the Great War. Slew countless lives. With their pride and their arrogance in their mighty goodness. They thought they were better than the rest of us as you yourself believed you were better than me.” His voice dropped to a whisper. “I wanted to see them suffer. I have achieved so much more than that.”
During Ar-Pharazôn’s rule of Númenor when Sauron holds the position of the High Priest of Melkor, Galadriel is captured in the middle of a war, imprisoned, and handed over to him as a sacrifice to be made in the Temple of the High Priest, but Sauron has other plans. From Akallabêth to the founding of Gondor, unlikely allies are forged.
