    Summary

    There was a time when, with his speech, he could do and undo things as he pleased. He could cast his eyes onto whatever he liked—always the beholder, never held. He could fashion anything with only his mind and make it true, and terrible.

    Or: Galadriel and Halbrand in Eregion.

    Summary

    The moment his sentence was handed down – Halbrand “Sauron” Maia, guilty, life plus 30 years — brought up on RICO charges, 14-counts of conspiracy to commit murder and racketeering. It would have been a death sentence to anyone else. Hell, moments after the verdict was read in a federal courthouse in Brooklyn, hundreds of his supporters stormed the building, overturned furniture, a wave of riots in the streets, smashing cars and storefront windows, violently being forced back by police reinforcements.

    But the moment of his sentencing? His green eyes had cut to hers — unflinching, direct. He’d looked across the crowded courthouse directly to the person who’d landed him in prison, and he hadn’t looked angry either. Face stoic, not a glimpse of any hidden turmoil, not even one of accusation that he could have so easily aimed at her. She watched him get handcuffed and marched away, and he didn’t break eye-contact until he’d been physically forced to, turning away only when the guards paraded him out of the room to the sound of clicking cameras.

    It was real Alpha shit, Galadriel knew.

    Summary

    It was not a task she had taken up lightly. His farce and betrayal had been deep. She had trusted him as her friend, and he had played the part very well, earning her faith and loyalty and following her where others of her own kind had feared to tread. The Elves had all but turned their backs on her, but he rode through water, fire, and dangerous land by her side—all the while knowing she sought him out in order to end his existence, but he pretended he was something else. He had used her need for retaliation against her to serve his own means, to entrap his own enemy, and he did it all with a smile on his face.

    The hand upon her hilt shook ever so slightly, and a familiar voice called out to her from the shadows.

    “Losing your resolve already?” he teased her in light mockery, a hint of laughter echoing afterwards. It resonated in the den of darkness before her, a haunting song that seemed to fill her ears to the brim with each echo. Predator and prey, but who was the hunter and who was the prey?

    Summary

    Halbrand, heir to the throne of the Southlands, finds himself stranded in the middle of the ocean with only the old man Diarmid for a friend. That is, until they rescue Galadriel, Commander of the Northern Armies, from the bitter waters. Picked up by a Númenorean ship on its way home, the trio finds safety within the island kingdom. Galadriel will not let Halbrand forget his destiny, or avoid it.

    But the Shadow is once again stirring in Middle-earth, and when they discover that Halbrand is more than he seems, Galadriel is confronted with a painful past more intimately tied to Halbrand's future than either of them could have guessed. Thrust into a destiny he never wanted, Halbrand must now choose between finding the light and touching the darkness.

    half-Maia!Halbrand AU. Rework of The Raft, Númenor, the lost king of the Southlands plot in Season 1, Eregion, and more. Will hit the major canonical events of the Second Age (eventually lol). Canon-divergent.
