    Summary

    “The smiths only need to see a single working solution, to show them the way,” Halbrand says. “A place to begin… a key to unlock the dam.”

    “And you truly believe that Celebrimbor will discover such a key, in less than three weeks?”

    “No.” Halbrand picks up a piece of chalk and presses it into Galadriel’s hand. “You will.”

    . . .

    Or: Facing off with Sauron in the midst of a battle, Galadriel confronts her buried memories of the ring-forging in Eregion, and the part that she really played in it. (S1 E8 AU)

    Summary

    Laurence and young Bertram had evidently been practicing fencing, if the two wooden rapiers lying in the grass were anything to go by, but at some point Laurence had gotten a hold on the boy and was now twirling the child in circles, flung over his shoulder like a sack of grain, as they both laughed bright as the sun. With their golden hair and elegant features, they could have been father and son, and Tharkay had a sudden, horrifying realization that he had miscalculated.

    Tharkay, upon discovering that Laurence loves children, realizes he might want some of his own someday. He proceeds to severely overreact to this revelation.

    Summary

    Galadriel is not the same as she was. Something inside her has shifted. In sleep, she walks in the unseen world. She dreams of water, of storms, of waves. Of the black hills of Mordor. Of him.

    One door has shut behind her. But ahead of her, a whole labyrinth lies open.

    . . .

    Or: In the aftermath of the fall of Eregion, Galadriel begins to seek out Sauron through the mirror-water.

    Summary

    “You said you’ve been what you needed to be. To have any chance of avoiding the fate you fear, you must learn to become something truly different.” Even with it quiet upon her finger, Galadriel sank into the familiar flow of calm Nenya had helped her find within herself. “I came because I did not know if that's something you are capable of. I still don’t.”

    “And which outcome drove you to check?” he asked, his words tugging at the connection between them as though it were a net he could use to draw her to him. “My failure, or my success?”

    She turned back to the stars overhead, blinking away both the illusion and the tears that tried to dampen her lashes, and could not allow herself to reply.
