Summary
Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.
It began with the forging of the Great Rings, and it ended with the destruction of the One Ring in the fiery chasms of Mount Doom. Destroyed by hobbits, at the end of an era — but it was not the end of all. Not for those who remained behind. Arwen Undómiel, daughter of Elrond and Celebrían, became Queen of the Reunited Kingdom. Her story quickly became one of legend and myth, one of beauty and sorrow. Deeply tied to her mortal love, one that diminished her lifespan and turned it into one of sacrifice.
But the legends were wrong.
Years passed, and she remained as everlasting as the evening star.
Years passed, and her family grew and expanded. She remained.
Years passed, the dominion of men spread and scattered.
She remained.

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
Abish's own daemon had perched on her shoulder, quiet and unnoticed, by comparison. That was the one thing she had been praised for when it came to her soul.
What wasn't praised was the forms it took.
| Or that Daemon AU that nobody asked for.

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.
