    Summary

    From the private writings of Galadriel: "I thought I had found a man. Not a hero, not even a king - just a man. Flawed and raw and full of want. He wore his pain on the outside, the way I wore mine on the inside, and I mistook that for honesty. But it was not Halbrand who answered when I pressed my mouth to his, or whispered my doubts into his skin. It was Sauron.

    And yet...he was the first one to truly see me. He saw the fury I could never purge, the pride I never confessed, the hunger that curled in my belly like fire. I remember the weight of his body over mine; his breath against my ear; the way he said my name as if he had known it long before the world began. I remember wanting him, not despite what he was, but because of it. Because he matched something I have always carried and never dared name.

    They say light drives out the dark; I have lived long enough to know better.

    Light calls to darkness, as surely as darkness calls to light. He was drawn to my light, and I to his darkness. Somewhere, somehow, in between, we became fully known...and perhaps, even, fully loved."

    Summary

    “It is– disconcerting. Are you not disgusted that I am not of your kind?”

    She stepped back and they looked at one another. A githyanki warrior, a human mage. Exhausted from their travels, from their endless battles, from being moments away from a flaying, hideous death.

    The two of them, truly, should never have met.

    Summary

    Somehow she was compelled to lay down every deep dark thing inside her for him to see. Because she knew he understood. He would not judge.

    He realised that she was seeking and finding every hiding place he knew, filling every dark corner of him with her flickering light.

    Summary

    He unexpectedly turned as he closed the door and caught Daphne observing him. Their eyes met, she blushed in embarrassment, and—

    Every time he smiled, really smiled with his whole face, the world around him seemed to dim in comparison. He made her want to take up painting again. Or pastels, or any of the other art forms she’d left behind when she graduated from RISD and started her first bookmaking apprenticeship. She’d never felt compelled to make representational art, but Gale Dekarios in the full bloom of joy was absolutely worth representing.

    In which tiny, remote Icepeak College mysteriously hires a massively overqualified antiquities scholar in the middle of term, and its book arts workshop director finds herself inexorably pulled into his orbit. In her defense, he's really fucking hot.
