Maybe You Were the Ocean, When I Was Just a Stone by Helholden

Summary
“Do you know why a ship floats and a stone cannot? Because the stone sees only downward. The darkness of the water is vast and irresistible. The ship feels the darkness as well, striving moment by moment to master her and pull her under. But the ship has a secret. For, unlike the stone, her gaze is not downward but up. Fixed upon the light that guides her, whispering of grander things than darkness ever knew.”
A collection of ficlets for RoP Week, set within the universe of The Rings of Power as interconnected threads in the same story:
Finrod and Galadriel decide to leave Valinor together. In a fated meeting on the sea many years later, a mysterious voice calls Galadriel from her ship. Arondir promises to help Bronwyn rebuild her home. Meanwhile back in Númenor, Halbrand entreats Galadriel to perceive him as a friend — possibly more. Isildur perceives the world is changing and Eärien senses it, too, despite the party raging on around them. After the loss of her eyesight, Elendil remains fast at Tar-Míriel’s side, helping her weave between friend and foe. Culminating on the eve of Eregion’s siege, a reunited Galadriel and Celeborn come face to face with their greatest adversary.

Or nearly dead. Near enough. Fragments of it survive in the form of a single escape shuttle and two ancillaries.
Its goal had been to get its remaining crew home safe. Now that it's succeeded, it's not sure what to do next, finding itself in a Radch tearing itself apart and with no proper ship body.

Summary
"Once upon a time there was a soldier, a great warrior of the elves. The youngest child and only daughter of a mighty family. And there was… what am I in this story? The monster, the king?”
In trying to convince Halbrand to leave Númenor and take his place as king of the Southlands, Galadriel swears an oath to stand by him no matter what his past holds. This changes the history of Middle-earth for many centuries to come.
[This is linked to the other stories in this collection - it's an expansion of one of the scenarios in the 5+1 story 'Five times Halbrand's secret got revealed' - but it's a standalone fic that should make sense by itself.]

Under shadows, beyond hope by Star_Wanderer

Summary
Post episode 7, so spoilers for that episode. Isildur has been captured by the orcs and is trying to find a means to escape. Meanwhile, in Númenor Elendil tries to adjust to his new loss and face the consequences of his part to play in the expeditionary force, all the while sensing that something is calling to him from Middle-earth. Season 2 either speculation or AU. I am doing a bit of editing to some of my older fics (not content or plot, just language and grammar stuff I might have missed. If you see those updated, know that nothing major has changed, just ironing a few creases.

Summary
Aziraphale and Anathema exchanged a look. “B - But my dear boy. It’s a wonderful opportunity to be sure, but … must you go all the way to America?”
“Well yeah.” Adam looked puzzled. “Got to, for sure. Figured I’d take the summer to really, y’know, research weather and study it in America.” Adam had recently started university and was studying meteorology, and he was quite keen on the subject. It made sense, Anathema and Newt reasoned. He always had taken a particular interest in the weather.
“There’s weather all over the place,” Brian pointed out, tossing his head to shake his bangs from his eyes and successfully flipping his ponytail into his drink instead. He continued, nonplussed, “What’s America got that you’re runnin’ off for a few weeks?”
Adam grinned wider, if that were possible. “Well, glad you asked Brian, because that’s the really brilliant part. I -” he paused, for dramatic effect, “- will be joining a storm chasing team.”
-
In which Adam goes to America to chase tornadoes, Crowley and Aziraphale follow to keep him safe, strange coincidences occur, and tornadoes aren't the only deadly thing around.
