Summary
Freed after three ages in chains, Melkor returns to Valinor cloaked in false penitence, sowing discord among the Noldor. Yet when his gaze falls upon Lady Artanis - not yet Galadriel, but already radiant and unyielding - his hunger for light stretches beyond the Silmarils.
His plan is set: destroy the Two Trees, steal the Silmarils, and take her with them.
But in the depths of Angband, it is Sauron - Melkor’s most trusted servant - who becomes her jailor. To him she is not merely a prize nor a challenge, but 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, Galadriel 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.

Summary
“I want to know you,” Celebrimbor said. “You and all that there is to you.”
Beneath his hands, he felt Annatar tense, his skin growing colder as if every part of him, including his blood, wanted to withdraw from Celebrimbor’s touch.
“You don’t know what you are asking for,” Annatar said quietly.
“Perhaps not,” Celebrimbor replied. “And yet this is what I want. You have offered me so much over these years: unnumbered gifts that you gave freely, that I did not even need to ask for. So let this be the first, the last, and the only thing I ask for myself.”
Let me in. Let me know you. Show me who you were, before you came to me. Let me know all that is ancient and primordial, terrifying and incomprehensible about you. Show me the god beneath the face of the man. Permit me to know you as you truly are.On the eve of the creation of the Great Rings, Celebrimbor makes a dangerous request and history changes forever.

Hearken Still Unsated by polutropos for Melesta
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
04 Dec 2022

Summary
“For how many years have we two listened for the echoes of the Music of Creation in the oceans and lakes and rivers? And yet we will never be sated. Like the water in which they say it lives, the Song does not rest but ever moves and changes. It may pool in a great lake for an age and then pour down into the Sea in another. It fills whatever spaces it can and flows by whatever paths most easily open before it.”
When the Noldor return to Middle-earth to make war on Morgoth, only rumours reach Menegroth of their reasons for coming, but Doriath's minstrel experiences their loss and longing through his connection to Music and the gift of his Queen. Years later, he is sent to the Feast of Reuniting and meets the Elf whose grief he felt. A story about the Eldar returning home, their connection to the land and to each other, and their relationship to Music and fate, love and free will.

Summary
Aziraphale is a widower who lives in Montreal and works as a librarian-archivist at the McGill University library. Crowley is a young’ish cellist who moves into the apartment next door. Complications ensue. This fic started out as an excuse for me to write about music I like in a setting I enjoy, with some smut thrown in. It’s since taken on a life of its own, complete with Canadian baked goods, some Canadian WWII history, and an Italian mafia connection.

A bee jumps between ostentatious blooms. Something is always flowering on this slab of paradise, cut off from the world. Cut off from knowing.
A re-embodied Maedhros slowly remembers. As he does, he must come to terms with an absence and accept that there are some things he will never know.

Summary
This work began in all its unhinged, cracked, glory when the Amaz*n show (you know the one) revealed Celebrimbor's character design. No diss to the actor, who probably did his best, but he looks like Gilderoy Lockhart. From this simple, albeit idiotic, realization, a question was born: what would happen if Celebrimbor of Eregion and Gilderoy Lockhart switched places?
This is my answer to that question. Steve from Stranger Things also somehow got pulled into it, because of Elrond's dismal look (the hair stylists need to walk on legos all the way to Mordor and back, don't get me started on Galadriel's wig), and let's just say things snowballed from here. Feel free to picture all the other characters according to your own headcannons (which I'm sure are 90% better than what Amaz*n pulled).
No, I am not on drugs. Sometimes, I wish I were. And no, I'm not sure whether I'll watch the show yet.
Oh, one last thing: while I despise many of the show character designs with the burning heat of a thousand suns, I'm actually think the representation is very nice. So you know, pass your way if black Elves give you hives, because we won't get along. Like, at all.
