Summary
After her brother’s death and a fall that leaves more than bones broken, Galadriel Noldor is sent across the world with her mare, Lothlórien, to a Texas ranch with a name people still speak carefully: Utumno Ranch. Its owner, Halbrand Kementari, is a man made of silence, dust, and old grief. Once, he and his wife built the ranch as a refuge for wounded souls. Now she is gone, the gates are closing, and the bank is circling what remains. Galadriel is meant to recover and return home. Instead, she finds secrets in the photo-lined halls, a horse that belonged to the dead, and a man who understands what it means to be treated like something already lost.
With foreclosure looming and her own past watching from afar, Galadriel must decide what she is willing to risk: her name, her future, or the fragile, dangerous hope Halbrand has awakened. And when the arena lights come on, everyone will learn what kind of ghosts still live behind Utumno’s open gates after so long.

Canon divergence AU of 1.06. Belated entry for Day 6 of #SaurondrielFest: Aphrodisiac
She clenched her jaw, knowing the truth would have to be shared. “During my pursuit of Adar, he released a weapon of some kind upon me. A powder-like poison.”
Halbrand’s shoulders grew tense. “Have you seen a healer?”
Galadriel only nodded. “It is a poison not of the traditional kind. It was not deadly. However, its effect lingers strongly.” A shiver ran down her spine and along her arms. “Bronwyn said the substance he inflicted upon me was something akin to an agitant. It raises one’s heart rate, heightens one’s senses.” She swallowed thickly at the next words forming on her tongue. “Reduces one’s control of impulses or desires.”
At that revelation, Halbrand sighed. He glanced at the table. “Why are you telling me this?”
She closed her eyes, trying to concentrate despite the distraction of the lowered cadence of his voice. “I cannot find rest in this condition. Yet, the only remedy I seek led me here.” Galadriel forced her gaze back towards him. She could not fight the heat crawling up her neck and sinking to her belly. “I believe that you can provide it.”

Summary
Halbrand and Galadriel bonded over their love of the stars. Two souls connected by fate, ever twined despite their tumultuous path. In other words, Haladriel star-gazing oneshot.

She managed to hold her tongue for all of three seconds before storming back onto the balcony.

Summary
“Why did you go?”
Nausea gnaws at Hal’s stomach. He stands up straight, stuffs his hands into pockets just to busy them. “Celebrian, I don’t think we should talk about this.”
A sharp exhale, disappointed and defiant. “I have my theories.”
“They’re probably right,” he sighs, defeated. “Don’t make me re-live all that shit now, it was bad enough when it happened.”
“She cried when she got your card,” Celebrian says quietly, picking at her cuticles. “She never cries.”
It’s not true, though he doubts Celebrian knows this. Galadriel cries on late nights when the bottle goes hollow and sunlight streaks the sky with shadows of the deepest plum. She cries when they slow dance to old songs on crackling records, face buried in his chest like she wants to be smothered. She cries on West End backstreets, arms crossed, glaring at a skip, smoke curling through her tangled hair like roaming fingertips.
There’s so much of her mother he shouldn’t know, and even more he can’t forget.

“Consider this a controlled burn. A pressure valve to guard against catastrophe.”
or: All Galadriel wanted was a fucking rope. She never expected someone to jump in and cut her free.
