    Summary

    Celebrimbor, in the aftermath.
    The Halls of Mandos are a place of healing, but how does the (former) greatest of elven smiths even begin to heal when he still can't forgive himself? Also, his dad and the rest of his insane family are there, and he REALLY isn't ready to deal with them. (I can't write summaries)
    ***
    Follows TROP canon as it pertains to Celebrimbor's arc in season 2, but will also very much be a Silm-fic since Celebrimbor's family and other First Age peeps will make appearances. I'm not a Tolkien scholar by any means but I'm doing as much research as I can so please be kind if I make any lore mistakes, I welcome any corrections or helpful insights!

    Summary

    Before him, Sauron’s hair gleams scarlet, and his smile is sharp. He is as he was in the clearing. He is as he was in Forodwaith. He is as he was in the barn. He is as he was on the mountaintop when the fierceness of his light blinded Adar at the first. Sauron is all shapes and none, and Adar would know his form, the particular pull of it, that heady, disarming tug, were all his senses robbed from his body.

    ---

    Or, as Adar is dying, Sauron meets him in his mind. Or, in Adar’s last moments, Sauron. For the #TROPBloodMoon Challenge prompt: Red.

    Summary

    Galadriel and Sauron still confront each other and cross blades in the ruins above Eregion, but Sauron is determined to convince Galadriel that Halbrand and their friendship was not a lie. And even if she can't admit it yet, Galadriel hungers desperately for what Sauron offers her...

    An alternate ending to the duel in the Season 2 finale, where Sauron makes better use of his Halbrand form and works harder at convincing Galadriel to join him.

    Summary

    Their fleeting reunion on the cliffs of Eregion was as desired as it was destined. An immovable mind would tremble and a blazing heart would bleed. The path was clear before them, and the door was opened wide. If only she would take the most vital step.

    Summary

    They do not vanquish or push back the Uruks— even with the arrival of the Dwarven army. Their numbers are too low, the losses too significant, the city too far gone. They simply push back long enough to get every remaining Elf out of Ost-in-Edhil.

    Elrond remembers crossing the dry riverbed, his boots sinking deep in the black mire, staring at a battlefield of dead Elves. The weight of their deaths makes him lightheaded and he staggers as grief spears his heart so suddenly it steals his breath.

     

    Or; following the fall of Eregion, Elrond struggles with guilt and grief.

    Summary

    "And to what path shall I turn then? Which remains open to me still? Does the grace of the Valar yet shine above my blackened brow, or with these deaths have I sundered myself forever from their light? Advise me, elf, as so often you delighted in doing when we walked side by side in the realms of Men. Place your lovely hands about my throat and kill me softly now with your compassion—it will be a better fate by far than that judgment which lies across the sea. Should I spend the next Age prostrated before all the realms and rulers of Arda, still would I, and they, find my penance lacking. If I cannot find my salvation here, nor can I seek it within the Undying Lands, better to plunge ahead deeper into the dark, where at least I know I shall be welcome.”

     

    Instead of the orcs discovering Annatar after he murders Celebrimbor, it is the Lady of Light.
