    Summary

    “They get you when you’re young. Start you off as a whistlepunk. That’s what they call the boys who run messages back to the landing. But you spend enough time on site and they start to show you things. Maybe one day you learn to put a choker on the log, hook it up to the other lines for hauling out of the forest. Next thing you know you’re part of a rigging crew—”

    “Are you part of a rigging crew?”

    “I’m a faller.”

    Halbrand licked beer foam from his whiskers, pink tongue soft against the hard lines of his mouth. That was his name. Halbrand.

    OR: For three decades, Galadriel’s family has run a small general store in the wilds of northwestern Maine. For three winters, one elusive logger has paid her a yearly visit.

    Summary

    Mairon stands before Galadriel, on the banks of the Glanduin, as she demands his true name.
    He prepares to show her what she wants, to reveal the darkness she can sense in him.
    But ultimately, that would mean he loses her.
    And he is not prepared to do that.
    Instead he does what he promised himself he'd never do, and lies to her.
    >>~~~~o0o~~~~<<
    Galadriel is worried.
    A tether is forming between her and the Man from the Southlands, something she had never foreseen happening, the consequences of it dire.
    Only those deeply in love could form such bonds so quickly.
    And to bind oneself to a mortal was a fate worse than death.
    Or so they said.
    But once Galadriel puts on the Ring of Adamant, it begins to reveal the past of the one who is bound to her.
    And her dreams leave her with an impossible name on her lips.
    Mairon...

    Summary

    “Fuck you.”
    He grasps her chin and she hates the condescension in his eyes, the smirk in his tone. “You were all too willing earlier, princess.”
    She spits at him, narrowing her eyes, cursing him a million times over in her head as he wipes it from his face. She doesn’t like how he smiles now, as if he liked that, a wolf stalking its prey. “Be a good girl, Galadriel. You don’t want me to need to hurt anyone else, do you?”

    Or the not quite First Daughter/Assassin Halbrand fic.

    Summary

    When Mairon packed up and headed south for the Pastures he expected to lay low for a few years, just until Aulë’s urge to throw him from his Halls ebbed. What greeted him instead might just have been the single thing he’d never dared to ask for.

    OR: Alternative Universe. Mairon never gave in to Melkor’s temptation, but another did in his place. Artanis has her own issues with the growing discord in her family. None of it stops their growing interest in each other, but hard decisions still lay ahead and they don’t always pick the right path.

    Summary

    For eleven years, Galadriel has lived in hiding, calling herself Galwen, tending to the wounded, and hunting for the people of Arnad-Dûn. But shadows gather at the edges of her quiet existence - unnatural killings in the woods, whispers of orcs moving south, and the unshakable truth that she has stayed too long.

    Then comes a man on the North Road. A man with haunted eyes and an enigmatic nature - Halbrand. He is running from his past, just as she is, but neither of them can truly escape the fates that chase them. Against the backdrop of a growing war, they find solace in each other - two souls bound by longing, by grief, by a love that was never meant to be.

    But Galadriel is not who she claims to be, and Halbrand is not just a lost wanderer. And when the truth comes to light, they will have to face the cruelest question of all: Can love win out? And is it worth the pain of losing it?
