Summary
It’s impossible for Sauron not to fall for Galadriel. The dark lord this, the dark lord that, she’s singing his praises to everyone in earshot. But with love comes the inconvenient urge to tell her who he is.
The problem is, she sees the world in black and white: good and evil, light and dark, missing all the shades of grey Sauron believes in. If she only had a taste of power, she’d be able to see the nuance in the world—in him—wouldn’t she?
He could give that to her.OR: What if Sauron only made one ring and he gave it to Galadriel?
Beginning in Númenor and spiralling unrepentantly into soap opera in Eregion.
Smut starts in Chapter 5.
If you’re here for Sauron-as-black-goo tentacle porn, please proceed to Chapter 20, and remember, only Eru can judge you.- Language:

Summary
Frodo fails.
The good people of Middle Earth succumb to the rule of the One Ring and its only master, Sauron. In his victory, he promises only a cruel decimation of the world as he reforges it in his image. Except, of course, his chief adversary needs to make things more complicated. Another bargain struck. An accord for a hand in marriage, in exchange for a fading chance to save Middle Earth from utter ruin.
(Sequel to "A Stressed Tiding.")

Summary
Draco Malfoy was killing for her. Hermione Granger didn’t know why, but she knew he did it—and he was good at it. One offhanded name, a whispered complaint, and by the next day, it'd be handled. A tumble down the stairs, a potion gone wrong, a sudden case of spattergroit.
It was easy. Convenient. So for months, she let him rid her world of anyone who dared call her a Mudblood, laughed her policy proposals out of Wizengamot sessions, or dismissed her with a patronizing “sweetheart.” All she had to do was look the other way, pretending not to notice the intense grey eyes that seemed to be watching her every move.
Until he told her why, with a truth that shattered her world: “Because I’m a werewolf, and you’re my mate.”

Summary
Corporal and cartographer in the First Army, Alina Starkov's path diverged from her best friend's, Mal Oretsev, when they joined up as children. A decade later, her path intersects with his once more at Kribirsk, but it is not Mal's path alone that will be changed by Alina's presence.
Alina has always stood out, both as girl and as a woman, due to her Shu heritage even as she has tried to disappear. But this latest crossing of the Shadow Fold will throw her into the path of the powerful General Kirigan, drawing his interest.
But Alina is not the naïve, trusting girl she was at sixteen. And when the legendary Sun Summoner is discovered, she will face a choice between remaining a pawn of the powerful, or claiming her power for her own.
Ravka will never be the same.

The line between lies and truth is fine indeed.
No one knows that better than Halbrand.
“I cannot help but be curious…what happens,” he sneered, “When she finds out? Do you truly believe that the golden princess of the Noldor will forgive you? Do you think she will grant you absolution?” The air was silent until --
“Do you truly believe that she will want you?”
