Summary
“She lives.”
Galadriel knows that voice. That drawled, amused, slightly condescending voice. Her mind is still hazy from sleep but her heart warms with an instinctive flicker of happiness.
“No stew this time, I’m afraid,” the voice continues, rough with the accent of the Southlands. “Poisoned or otherwise.”
His words and the familiarity of the walls around her overlap in her mind, nudging her to remember something. She follows their trail sluggishly, slotting memories into place as she finds them. She takes a moment to admire the full picture – and then comes the weight of remembering, of loss and rage, crushing her with a weight so heavy it pins her to the stone cot beneath her. Her breath leaves her in a rush, exhaling those last little sleepy shards of hope.Or:
Pharazôn is convinced Sauron and Galadriel are allies, and intends to make them face a reckoning which begins back in a Númenórean prison cell.

OR: Alternative Universe. Mairon never gave in to Melkor’s temptation, but another did in his place. Artanis has her own issues with the growing discord in her family. None of it stops their growing interest in each other, but hard decisions still lay ahead and they don’t always pick the right path.

Summary
"Ah, I deceived the Great Deceiver," she scoffed, puffing at another strand of her hair. "Now you'll humiliate me to soothe your pride."
"On the contrary—" He grunted as he shifted her forward, and Galadriel didn't breathe for the agonizing second it took for her body to slide down from his shoulder, chest against his chest, feet dangling, back to the ground. "If that is to be your method, I should like you to deceive me more often."A captive Galadriel endeavors to sabotage the Dark Lord's nine ringbearer recruitment tour.

“You deceived me.”
He considers this as if the very idea is new to him.

Summary
“Of all the actors you could’ve slid into a situationship with, what on earth would possess you to choose Halbrand fucking Maia?” Nori groans.
“I’m sorry,” Galadriel sputters, blinking in a furious effort to process the girl’s words, “I’m in a what with who?”

“Good sex demands so many sacrifices.”
or: Despite what Galadriel tells herself, sex with her former co-star was never going to be a one-time thing.

Should they fail, she was to take shelter with the Sindar tribes to the east. Finrod had sought their aid against their shared enemy, but in return they’d demanded a price that he refused to pay.
“It won’t come to that.”
Just then, the horns sounded from the lookout on the cliff above. The legions of Emperor Morgoth, under the command of his general Sauronius, had arrived.

Summary
One thing went differently in Númenor, and everything changed.
She’s wary – of course she’s wary, in everything she’s wary – but she lets herself be distracted a little by Isildur’s ever-running flow of questions and tastes her food slowly, letting the crumbling cheese and the cut grapes linger on her tongue. She is not entirely the sharpened and determined blade she thinks herself; below the surface she is a creature of flesh and want, just like him.

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
“Perhaps I was always meant to ruin this.” He grabbed her arms and spun her around to face him so fast it dizzied her. “I was greedier in my youth. If I’d known you back then, I’d have stolen you away. A treasure no Silmaril could compare to.”
In which Galadriel's attempt to assassinate Sauron in his war tent doesn't go quite as she planned.

After sensing a dark presence in her mind, Galadriel takes off her Ring of Power for the first time in a century. Without its protection, an uninvited guest manages to break into her dream. Halbrand knows about the Three Rings, and now that he has created the One, he wants them back.

Summary
“Well, I can’t have that,” Halbrand tells her, and he downs the rest of his draft before placing the empty glass back down onto the bar with a thud. He pulls out his wallet and pays for it. “I’d feel really bad if I left you stranded out here,” he starts to say, tucking his wallet back into his pocket, “so what’s our heading, princess?”
Galadriel’s eyes grow wider, and she finally looks at him. “Our heading?” she asks, like she doesn’t know what he means when she does.
Halbrand nods his head. “Yes, our heading. Where are we going next?”
“We?”
Halbrand meets her eyes, seeing the slight flush deepening the apples of her cheeks. Some of it’s alcohol. Some of it’s embarrassment. Some of it might just be because she finds him attractive if her little lip biting is anything to go by. “Yes,” he agrees firmly, “we. We’re out here together right now, aren’t we? Why not make the most of it?”
.
Galadriel goes out drinking after a bad breakup, and Halbrand shows up to put all the pieces back together.
