Summary
“I asked for a handsome reward in exchange for Finrod Felagund’s life,” the man called out across the distance. He was tall, though not as tall as her brother, and dressed in swathes of black and grey, a loose hood shielding most of his face and hair from sight. “What do you bring me in exchange for him?”
“Galadriel, no—” Finrod began, but Galadriel cut him off.
“—Myself,” she answered his call, though it did not sound as assuring out loud as it had sounded to her before she left her home to make this perilous journey to come save her brother.
The black-robed figure chuckled in response. It started low, but it reached the distance all the way toward her. He grasped Finrod by the neck of his tunic, yanking him back. “What would I do with you?” he threw back at her. “You’re hardly a fair exchange for the warrior I hold in my grasp.”
During the First Age, the War of Wrath changes course. On the island of Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the Isle of Werewolves and one of Sauron’s former strongholds, is the seat of the Necromancer’s power. Instead of sending his wolves out to kill Finrod after capturing Felagund in his dungeons, Sauron demands an exchange for his life. Galadriel offers herself.

Summary
“Come on. Give me your hand.”
There is wild desperation in Galadriel’s voice, the words piercing through Halbrand like a fierce battle cry.
“Bind yourself to me.“For one endless moment, she is all he can see in the tempest threatening to swallow them whole.
Reaching out to him.
Determined to save the darkness she has vowed to destroy.
Foolish little elf.
And still… he wants to take her hand.
The mysterious workings of fate bring two bitter enemies together during their darkest hour, igniting a flame that will not be extinguished all that easily.
A reimagining of Season 1 of The Rings of Power and beyond in which the bond between Galadriel and Sauron has already become unbreakable chains when she finds out who he really is.
After witnessing a harrowing vision regarding her future in the Palantir Galadriel’s reckless actions unwittingly drag her and her reluctant companion unto a path of fate previously untravelled.

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
Frodo fails.
The good people of Middle Earth succumb to the rule of the One Ring and its only master, Sauron. In his victory, he promises only a cruel decimation of the world as he reforges it in his image. Except, of course, his chief adversary needs to make things more complicated. Another bargain struck. An accord for a hand in marriage, in exchange for a fading chance to save Middle Earth from utter ruin.

Summary
Through years of battle, Sauron has nearly become victorious. Still, he longs for his perfect companion. He tries one last time to lure her to his side.
--
"Why are you here?" Her interruption of his banter doesn't seem to phase him, his features grow fonder, if possible, head tilting as if she were nothing but a silly child that he had to entertain.
"I've missed you." A whisper, soft with yearning.

Summary
Padmé works for the rebellion hunting down Imperial Inquisitors and rescuing force-sensitive children from their grasps. That is until she gets assigned to an undercover mission to kill the emperor's right hand, Darth Vader. She disguises herself as a newly hired Imperial officer. What she doesn't expect is for the Dark Lord of the Sith to take any interest in her, no less to open up to her. She didn't expect that she'd feel any kind of hesitance toward the idea of killing him. That is until the mask comes off.
(I don't know when or even if I'm going to finish this fic, so take that into consideration if you wanna read it!)
