   Summary

   The making of the Rings of Power was a monumental project stretching over many hundreds of years, and which involved an uncountable number of experiments and prototypes along the way as Celebrimbor and Annatar all but invented the craft of ring-making from whole cloth and consequently reshaped the world around them.

   Not all of those prototypes were pleasant to test; but sometimes, pleasure can be found even in the darkest of shadows. And sometimes, what is truly being tested might not be the rings at all…

   The Rings were theirs. It was only fitting that they be the ones to test this, together.

   Celebrimbor looked up. "What must I do?" he asked.

   "Resist," said Annatar.

   *Story has been separated into: chapter one - ring-lore; chapter two - (light) torture; and chapter three - the bedroom; so that those who are unsure of some of the subject matter can ease into things according to their individual comfort level.
