Summary
Halbrand dipped his head, and Galadriel’s heart jumped in anticipation, but his lips only grazed her cheek. “You’re the one who said ours was no chance meeting. We were brought together for a reason.”
“We should stay focused on the difficult journey ahead,” she whispered. “Distractions during the upcoming battle could be fatal.” This venture was only an expedition but would likely turn into something much deadlier.
“That is tomorrow’s concern, which I will treat with utmost seriousness and urgency,” Halbrand vowed. “But what of tonight?” He asked in a low voice, his lips hovering just above hers.
Galadriel could hardly breathe. And could think of no more excuses to not reach for what her heart greatly desired.

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.

Summary
From the private writings of Galadriel: "I thought I had found a man. Not a hero, not even a king - just a man. Flawed and raw and full of want. He wore his pain on the outside, the way I wore mine on the inside, and I mistook that for honesty. But it was not Halbrand who answered when I pressed my mouth to his, or whispered my doubts into his skin. It was Sauron.
And yet...he was the first one to truly see me. He saw the fury I could never purge, the pride I never confessed, the hunger that curled in my belly like fire. I remember the weight of his body over mine; his breath against my ear; the way he said my name as if he had known it long before the world began. I remember wanting him, not despite what he was, but because of it. Because he matched something I have always carried and never dared name.
They say light drives out the dark; I have lived long enough to know better.
Light calls to darkness, as surely as darkness calls to light. He was drawn to my light, and I to his darkness. Somewhere, somehow, in between, we became fully known...and perhaps, even, fully loved."
