    Summary

    Melkor returns to Valinor under the guise of penitence, weaving discord among the Noldor. As his obsession with light burns brighter, his desire extends beyond the Silmarils.

    Galadriel, known then as Lady Artanis - radiant, unyielding - becomes his new fixation. To Melkor, she is a challenge as maddening as the Silmarils themselves. His plan is set: destroy the Two Trees, steal the Silmarils, and take her with them.

    But in the depths of Angband, it is Sauron, Melkor’s most trusted servant, who becomes her jailor. For him, Galadriel is not merely a prize but a reflection of all he has lost - and a vision of what he might still claim.

    Caught between Melkor’s shadow and Sauron’s smoldering obsession, Galadriel faces a terrible choice: surrender her light, or let it burn brighter than ever - even if it consumes her.

    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.

    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

    Galadriel and Halbrand are in Númenor. When she is thrown in jail for sedition against the Queen Regent, she and Halband find themselves alone and able to plan for the future. Galadriel is bent on continuing her quest to find Morgoth's Shadow, but Halbrand attempts to change her plans. He plants within her mind the idea that she should rest. Relax. Cease her journey. His words worm their way into her innermost being and what should have been the bridge to the next leg of her hunt for Sauron turns into an opportunity to help the Queen Regent with a problem of her own. As Galadriel works to avert a crisis heading for Numenor, she and Halbrand grow closer and closer, even to the point of falling in love.

    But Galadriel doesn't know what lurks beneath the surface… That the very one she seeks is beneath her own passionate hands. That the destruction of Numenor resides in the intentions of the man she has come to love more than life itself.

    *This is a canon-divergent fic, with things in Númenor happening differently than they do in The Rings of Power Season One.

    Summary

    When a Star falls in Middle-earth, it is no trivial thing.

    All Halbrand desires is a simple life: a thriving forge, the chance to perfect his craft, and freedom from the burdens of his past. But when a Star falls above the river Anduin, his peaceful dreams are shattered. The fallen Star is no mere object – it is Galadriel, a beautiful and enigmatic figure whose arrival changes the course of Halbrand's life. Bound by purpose and a growing connection, the two find themselves caught in a perilous journey through Middle-earth, hunted by forces that would see Galadriel either controlled or destroyed.
