Summary
"Why have you come here, then?"
He regards her again, bemused. "You called me," he replies, softly.
Galadriel's mouth opens then closes.
She may have thought of him, the Dark Lord, on his knees in front of her; equal parts exciting and terrifying. The perfect imperious slope of his profile, the dismissive turn to his lips. How it had all softened when his head met her middle.
A guilty tendril curls through her. She swallows it down, and finds her voice. "I have done no such thing."
---
When Sauron stabs Galadriel above Eregion he unknowingly opens a rift in their minds that will haunt the two of them through the second and third age and on, until the end of the world.

Summary
“I will be queen,” she had eventually agreed, regardless of her wrath. Her eyes, so violently blue against the gray backdrop of the unsettled sea, had been as cutting as her tone. “But that's the only title I'll take. I shall not be your wife.”
The distinction had caught him off guard; in the heady rush of her acceptance, he had nearly laughed at the absurdity of it. What need did he have for a wife?

Summary
It’s impossible for Sauron not to fall for Galadriel. The dark lord this, the dark lord that, she’s singing his praises to everyone in earshot. But with love comes the inconvenient urge to tell her who he is.
The problem is, she sees the world in black and white: good and evil, light and dark, missing all the shades of grey Sauron believes in. If she only had a taste of power, she’d be able to see the nuance in the world—in him—wouldn’t she?
He could give that to her.OR: What if Sauron only made one ring and he gave it to Galadriel?
Beginning in Númenor and spiralling unrepentantly into soap opera in Eregion.
Smut starts in Chapter 5.
If you’re here for Sauron-as-black-goo tentacle porn, please proceed to Chapter 20, and remember, only Eru can judge you.- Language:

Summary
He was silent for a moment. She heard his cloak rustle, the sound of his hand grasp one of the bars. The gentle tap of his rings against the metal filled her ears, and she shut her eyes.
“When you denied an alliance with me, I found other means of quenching my thirst.”
“For violence and depravity?” she shot back.
“For vengeance,” he hissed. “Just as you sought yours. Keep your righteousness to yourself. I care not for it. These Men, these Númenóreans, fought against me in the Great War. Slew countless lives. With their pride and their arrogance in their mighty goodness. They thought they were better than the rest of us as you yourself believed you were better than me.” His voice dropped to a whisper. “I wanted to see them suffer. I have achieved so much more than that.”
Written for an anonymous tumblr prompt: During Ar-Pharazôn’s rule of Númenor when Sauron holds the position of the High Priest of Melkor, Galadriel is captured in the middle of a war, imprisoned, and handed over to him as a sacrifice to be made in the Temple of the High Priest, but Sauron has other plans. From Akallabêth to the founding of Gondor, unlikely allies are forged.
