Summary
Liminality (noun):
the transitional period or phase of a rite of passage, during which the participant lacks social status or rank, remains anonymous and shows obedience and humility.
“What’s left of me inside of you?”
He should have bound himself to the form, embodied the long-lost king, for he inspired hope as he marched on the battlefield alongside the elf; and hope is sturdier than faith. It binds friends and enemies alike; it could have bound him to her.
Instead he traded hope for rings.

Summary
Galadriel; she is halved.
Something has invaded her body through her chest; the wound a portal to her soul where ancient evils can slither in. Upon touching it, her heartbeat pulses on her palm. It ticks slower, the pattern skewed and unpredictable, as if it’s been tinkered with. As if a small cog has slipped into the clockwork, throwing the beats out of sync, diluting time.

What if Morgoth's crown didn't just wound Galadriel?

Summary
“You labor in the forge day and night,” Halbrand says, his voice sharp, “and yet you refuse my aid. You, of all people, understand the stakes, Mirdania.”
Before she can respond, he seizes her wrist with a firm grip. Her skin is cold against his hand, damp from the rain. He presses her palm against the tattered remnants of his shirt, the rough fabric smearing the coal stain off her glowing skin.
A small, unbidden sound escapes her—a half-caught breath.
Her brows knit into a frown, but her pink lips part in unmistakable longing.
Only the faint rustle of animals shifting in the hay is heard– precarious stillness engulfs them; the prey’s last chance to run.

To forge the Rings, Sauron must enter Eregion—but there is a price to pay.

Summary
A mirror reveals to us many truths: those we wish to see, those we wish to hide. For a mirror is but a looking glass that reflects back to us in equal measure that which we desire and that which we fear. If it unveils truth then it equally obscures lies, for what we see is the inverse of ourselves, working both in concert and opposition, meeting only in the mirror.
