    Summary

    “And…” She held up a hand that quivered slightly. “I’m magic.”

    The implication struck him and he only barely managed to keep himself from falling on her, ready to devour her whole.

    “You… You don’t know what you’re offering.” Each word was a struggle to get out and his hand became a claw where it was pressed against his chest.

    “I know what I’m offering,” she insisted.

    “No, you don’t.” He grimaced as another wave hit him, his very bones aching.

    “I could devour you,” he warned, pleaded. If she reconsidered, took back her offering, took the choice from him, he wouldn’t have to worry. He couldn’t outright refuse, not with her there, so close, that crackling magic of hers and the heat of her body a waved carrot in front of a hungry maw. The words wouldn’t come. He was only so strong.

    She met his gaze, steady, direct. “So devour me.”

    The fact that none of us thought of Sorcerer Tav offering themselves up to magic-starved Gale upsets me. What even are we doing as a fandom.

    Summary

    Aulë did not sing with Melkor. But he did create the dwarves against the design of the One, a boisterous act of rebellion - and yet his stone children were granted breath and life and flourish today in their mines. It was his repentance that spared their kind, his willingness to make amends.

    Melkor's repentance was always false. And when Aulë sensed the growing presence of a familiar spirit, and then a great tempest at sea, he knew plenty of his order believed Mairon to be false, as well - always would. But eternity offers ample chance to learn from the past and to reshape the future. By the time Artanis called for him by name, he had little choice but to answer.

    ///

A mystical bond between them takes the form of a chain in the unseen world, and strange dreams of the future suggest that Galadriel was right all along - they were brought together for a purpose. But once she discovers the truth, will she be willing to see that purpose fulfilled?

    Summary

    Galadriel does not need to ride to the south to find a war, for she feels like she has been waging one against herself since the moment Elrond pulled her out of that river.

    But how can she avenge a man who doesn’t exist by striking at the very enemy who brought him into being in the first place? The same enemy whose monstrous heart she’d somehow felt beating as the mirror of her own?

    ...

    Post-Season 1 AU. Galadriel reckons with the aftermath of Halbrand's betrayal & her conflicted feelings. But the true plan to be enacted in the event of Morgoth's defeat has not yet come to pass, & she may need Sauron to fight at her side again to save Middle Earth.
