    Summary

    “She lives.”
    Galadriel knows that voice. That drawled, amused, slightly condescending voice. Her mind is still hazy from sleep but her heart warms with an instinctive flicker of happiness.
    “No stew this time, I’m afraid,” the voice continues, rough with the accent of the Southlands. “Poisoned or otherwise.”
    His words and the familiarity of the walls around her overlap in her mind, nudging her to remember something. She follows their trail sluggishly, slotting memories into place as she finds them. She takes a moment to admire the full picture – and then comes the weight of remembering, of loss and rage, crushing her with a weight so heavy it pins her to the stone cot beneath her. Her breath leaves her in a rush, exhaling those last little sleepy shards of hope.

    Or:

    Pharazôn is convinced Sauron and Galadriel are allies, and intends to make them face a reckoning which begins back in a Númenórean prison cell.

    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

    Galadriel walks away from the forge that night, having tried her best to convince Halbrand to fight by her side. Or does she?

    He asks her to wait, the conversation continues and with that, a lot of feelings come to the surface and come crashing down.

    Summary

    "You would bribe me.”
    “I wouldn’t dream of it.” Her hair curls in golden spirals around his fingers. “I like to give you things.”
    “You deceived me.”
    He considers this as if the very idea is new to him.

     
    Halbrand leaves Eregion before Galadriel becomes suspicious, and goes back to be King of the Southlands.

    Summary

    “Of all the actors you could’ve slid into a situationship with, what on earth would possess you to choose Halbrand fucking Maia?” Nori groans.

    “I’m sorry,” Galadriel sputters, blinking in a furious effort to process the girl’s words, “I’m in a what with who?”

    ---

    “Good sex demands so many sacrifices.”

    or: Despite what Galadriel tells herself, sex with her former co-star was never going to be a one-time thing.

    Summary

    Should they fail, she was to take shelter with the Sindar tribes to the east.  Finrod had sought their aid against their shared enemy, but in return they’d demanded a price that he refused to pay.

    “It won’t come to that.”

    Just then, the horns sounded from the lookout on the cliff above.  The legions of Emperor Morgoth, under the command of his general Sauronius, had arrived.

    Summary

    One thing went differently in Númenor, and everything changed.

    She’s wary – of course she’s wary, in everything she’s wary – but she lets herself be distracted a little by Isildur’s ever-running flow of questions and tastes her food slowly, letting the crumbling cheese and the cut grapes linger on her tongue. She is not entirely the sharpened and determined blade she thinks herself; below the surface she is a creature of flesh and want, just like him.

    Summary

    Alternate ending/timeline to The Chain - the unhappy ending version.

    His lips brush the tip of her ear, and then her cheekbone, tasting her tears. She will be burned alive by this love, in the end, ruined by this accursed undying hope. It lives and flares and flows within her like the poisoned mountain, ever wounded and burning.

    (Or: At some point during the Second Age, Galadriel has been sent to negotiate terms of surrender with her mortal enemy, who is also her lover.)

    Summary

    “He is here,” came Mithrandir’s voice. A statement, not a question. She did not turn to him but nodded, still tracing the rigging with her fingertips. “And I was wrong,” he added.

    She looked up then.

    “I did not believe there would be anything left but an impotent spirit of malice.”

    “What are you telling me?” Uncertain, searching her friend’s face for answers.

    “There will be a reckoning in Aman."

    ----------

    A tale following our favorite fated pair from the beginning of the Fourth Age to beyond the Dagor Dagorath.

    Summary

    He strokes her hair and he’s more gentle than ever she would have thought. She is long accustomed to mortals - to elves, to anyone - being fascinated with her hair, but from him she’ll allow it. From him, and for now, and truly what else matters any more.

     

    Takes place during the events of s1 episode 8. A brief moment of happiness in Eregion, as Halbrand recovers from his absolutely not mysterious injury.

    Summary

    “Perhaps I was always meant to ruin this.” He grabbed her arms and spun her around to face him so fast it dizzied her. “I was greedier in my youth. If I’d known you back then, I’d have stolen you away. A treasure no Silmaril could compare to.”

     

    In which Galadriel's attempt to assassinate Sauron in his war tent doesn't go quite as she planned.
    Or does it?

    Summary

    After sensing a dark presence in her mind, Galadriel takes off her Ring of Power for the first time in a century. Without its protection, an uninvited guest manages to break into her dream. Halbrand knows about the Three Rings, and now that he has created the One, he wants them back.

    A continuation of season one, loosely following the timeline of Tolkien’s works. Some plot, some lore, and some dream smut.

    Summary

    “Well, I can’t have that,” Halbrand tells her, and he downs the rest of his draft before placing the empty glass back down onto the bar with a thud. He pulls out his wallet and pays for it. “I’d feel really bad if I left you stranded out here,” he starts to say, tucking his wallet back into his pocket, “so what’s our heading, princess?”

    Galadriel’s eyes grow wider, and she finally looks at him. “Our heading?” she asks, like she doesn’t know what he means when she does.

    Halbrand nods his head. “Yes, our heading. Where are we going next?”

    We?”

    Halbrand meets her eyes, seeing the slight flush deepening the apples of her cheeks. Some of it’s alcohol. Some of it’s embarrassment. Some of it might just be because she finds him attractive if her little lip biting is anything to go by. “Yes,” he agrees firmly, “we. We’re out here together right now, aren’t we? Why not make the most of it?”

    .

    Galadriel goes out drinking after a bad breakup, and Halbrand shows up to put all the pieces back together.
