Summary
“I will be queen,” she had eventually agreed, regardless of her wrath. Her eyes, so violently blue against the gray backdrop of the unsettled sea, had been as cutting as her tone. “But that's the only title I'll take. I shall not be your wife.”
The distinction had caught him off guard; in the heady rush of her acceptance, he had nearly laughed at the absurdity of it. What need did he have for a wife?

"You would bribe me.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it.” Her hair curls in golden spirals around his fingers. “I like to give you things.”
“You deceived me.”
He considers this as if the very idea is new to him.
Halbrand leaves Eregion before Galadriel becomes suspicious, and goes back to be King of the Southlands.Series

Summary
There was a time when, with his speech, he could do and undo things as he pleased. He could cast his eyes onto whatever he liked—always the beholder, never held. He could fashion anything with only his mind and make it true, and terrible.
Or: Galadriel and Halbrand in Eregion.

Summary
“Can I check how it fits?” Partly an excuse to touch her; partly a way to distract her from any worrying trains of thought like how long it should have taken a mortal man to make something like this; partly because he does, genuinely, want to see how well it fits.

Summary
Truly taking on a form was, in no small part, to lose himself in that vessel’s way of perceiving and thinking and feeling: blood and gut and brain were wily and pernicious masters. When he took the form of a bird, he longed for the wind beneath his wings. When he was a mighty wolf, he savored the blood of Elves on his lolling tongue.
How humbling it was to force every bit of his vast and ancient being down, down, until it was trapped inside the bones of a vulnerable human frame, and then expect it to stay there, confined. As if he hadn't already been humbled enough.
When he dove into the water after the Elf, he asked himself why, even as he slipped beneath the surface, as his lungs burned from lack of air, as he risked that last, paltry link to the corporal world for her.

Summary
Sauron may have left Eregion but he did not leave Galadriel’s dreams.
…He looks at her as if she is a lost dream long mourned. He looks at her as if she is the vision of his desires incarnate. He looks hungry, reverent, admiring.
Her heart shifts, and her mouth opens slightly. Not to speak but to let more air in, her lungs feel so tight.
“You shouldn’t be here,” he says and then his lips are on hers.
He is but a dream, she thinks. This is not real. And she lets him kiss her…

Summary
He knew evil – understood evil. Evil was a thing of humankind. The Good People were no such thing; they understood as little of morality as they did of airplane engineering, or taxes. In the stories they were cruel and generous by turns, took what they wanted and cast it aside uncaring, and the rules they obeyed were strange and unfathomable. Rules of home and hearth, of salt, blood and running water, of cold iron and ceremony.
Above all, though, they always kept their bargains.
--
A alternative S5, starting from just after Triangle. This story is about fairies - but definitely not the Tinkerbell kind. The kind that are much older, and bloodier, and have teeth.
Be careful what you wish for.

nothing safe is worth the drive (follow you home) by SummerFrost

Summary
Here's the deal: Buffy's got no idea how to beat Glory, or how they're gonna book it across the country in a moldy RV without anyone killing each other, especially now that someone broke one of the beds—and the thought of going home again kinda makes her wanna cry.
The one thing she knows is that Spike would follow her anywhere, even like this.

Summary
The moon asked the sun, “What do you know of love?”
“It burns,” said the sun. “It brightens. It is something you make and then give away.”
“Don’t listen to him,” said the clouds. “This big ball of gas doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
“Yes, I do,” said the sun. “Who but me makes the roses grow?”
“We do,” said the clouds. “Love nourishes, like the rain. We turn the hills green and fill the creeks so they will sing in their creekbeds.”
“Why do you ask?” said the sun.
“I think I might be in love,” said the moon. “I am trying to understand.”

Summary
"The raven comes to the Jon on the Wall one day, one day when it's all over and he's stopped counting days. The note contains only two words. If this was one of her songs, the parchment would be faded from her hands, the ink would have run with her tears, and the words would be sweet and desperate. 'Please,' they would say, 'I need you.' This is not one of her songs. 'Come home,' it reads, and that is all. And that is enough."
"The raven comes to Sansa on a day that she almost gives up on. If this was one of her stories, the note would come with a flower, with a knight on a horse, and she would let him wear her favors. This is not one of her stories. It comes alone, tied in black. There is no name, and but one word."
Jon and Sansa after the war, rebuilding Winterfell and each other.
