    Summary

    "Once upon a time there was a soldier, a great warrior of the elves. The youngest child and only daughter of a mighty family. And there was… what am I in this story? The monster, the king?”

    In trying to convince Halbrand to leave Númenor and take his place as king of the Southlands, Galadriel swears an oath to stand by him no matter what his past holds. This changes the history of Middle-earth for many centuries to come.

    [This is linked to the other stories in this collection - it's an expansion of one of the scenarios in the 5+1 story 'Five times Halbrand's secret got revealed' - but it's a standalone fic that should make sense by itself.]

    Summary

    You know who I am.

    How could she not?

    She who had pursued him for millenia, who had chafed under talks of peace and rejected all offers of rest, even unto the eternal shores of Valinor. She who had drunk countless times from the sea, and named her thirst quenched—her motives pure and selfless. Who had matched her breath to his in the glimmer-dark of a ship’s cabin; who fell asleep to the intimate mapping of his fingers along her spine, cool cheek to his chest and the heady beat of his too-human heart in her ear.

    Who else, since the long and perilous pride of Fëanor, had touched the darkness such as she.

    ----

    Or: Would Sauron still rise if Galadriel stayed?
