Summary
Freed after three ages in chains, Melkor returns to Valinor cloaked in false penitence, sowing discord among the Noldor. Yet as his gaze falls upon Lady Artanis - not yet Galadriel - his hunger for light stretches beyond the Silmarils.
His plan is set: destroy the Two Trees, steal the Silmarils, and take her with them.
Yet in the depths of Angband, it is Sauron, Melkor’s most trusted servant, who becomes her jailor. To him, she is a contradiction he cannot resolve - and in time, both a reflection of all he has lost and a vision of what he might still claim.
Caught between Melkor’s shadow and Sauron’s relentless design, she must face a terrible choice: surrender her light, or let it burn brighter than ever. Even if it consumes her.

OR: a First Age AU where Melkor covets not only the Silmarils, but the Elf whose hair inspired their creation.

He comes in like clockwork. Every weekday morning at 7:00am, the tiny bell above the coffee shop door chimes, and Galadriel doubts she’s ever seen a man who could wear a suit so well.

Summary
He was silent for a moment. She heard his cloak rustle, the sound of his hand grasp one of the bars. The gentle tap of his rings against the metal filled her ears, and she shut her eyes.
“When you denied an alliance with me, I found other means of quenching my thirst.”
“For violence and depravity?” she shot back.
“For vengeance,” he hissed. “Just as you sought yours. Keep your righteousness to yourself. I care not for it. These Men, these Númenóreans, fought against me in the Great War. Slew countless lives. With their pride and their arrogance in their mighty goodness. They thought they were better than the rest of us as you yourself believed you were better than me.” His voice dropped to a whisper. “I wanted to see them suffer. I have achieved so much more than that.”
Written for an anonymous tumblr prompt: During Ar-Pharazôn’s rule of Númenor when Sauron holds the position of the High Priest of Melkor, Galadriel is captured in the middle of a war, imprisoned, and handed over to him as a sacrifice to be made in the Temple of the High Priest, but Sauron has other plans. From Akallabêth to the founding of Gondor, unlikely allies are forged.

Summary
“The ocean of your years is dark and devoid of light” she gasped through gritted teeth, attempting to steady herself against the stone. “My years are few but bright with the One. And I know that Sauron is not your name”.
__________
During the Sack of Eregion, Galadriel breaks through the identities that Mairon the Admirable wears like armour. Declaring her love and accepting his in return, she encourages him to throw off the condemnation of his past and seek redemption. Their journey takes them from the wilds of Middle Earth to the homes of the Valar and back again, changing the course of Arda's history as Mairon attempts to heal himself and Middle Earth.
A HEA Haladriel tale.
