    Summary

    One thing went differently in Númenor, and everything changed.

    She’s wary – of course she’s wary, in everything she’s wary – but she lets herself be distracted a little by Isildur’s ever-running flow of questions and tastes her food slowly, letting the crumbling cheese and the cut grapes linger on her tongue. She is not entirely the sharpened and determined blade she thinks herself; below the surface she is a creature of flesh and want, just like him.

    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.]
