Summary
September 3018, war is brewing (or already arrived, as some would say), and Grima is up to his usual tricks and nonsense, including living rent-free in Eomer's brain. Orcs are prowling, wargs are making mischief, treason is in the air, and the harvest is around the corner. In the midst of all the soothing, spying, oath-breaking, family drama, and invasive questions about what it means to lead in uncertain times, Grima realises that the master he's betrayed everyone for has turned on Sauron himself making our little snake a great deal more concerned about everything the future holds and willing to perhaps do a little double-agent action provided there's some guarantees in place for his future safety. Eomer hates skullduggery but, when dealing with Grima one must learn to speak in the language Grima understands best: blackmail, manipulation, and Politicks.
Alternate universe - but I wouldn't call this a redemption fic since Grima doesn't really go through ringer on that.

Note: inspired by and based on the Fellowship of the Fictember prompt list. Chapters may be normal length, others might be more drabble length. It'll be a bit all-over depending on the prompt and what needs to happen in the story.Series

Summary
Eomer and Grima are commencing on their risky deal where Grima agrees to play double-agent and spy on Saruman in return for some promise of future safety should Sauron lose. If Sauron and Saruman triumph, and his deception is not discovered, well, Grima is sitting pretty in a position of helping certain people if he feels they've earned it. He and Eomer also continue to mutually live in each other's brains rent free and they're very normal about one another.
Meanwhile, Eowyn decides that it is time to make her mark on world events and strikes out on her own, giving her brother a hundred heart-attacks in the meanwhile. (Don't worry about it, she tells Eomer, I'll be fine.)
Isengard means to attack, Gondor's defenses are weakening, and no one is ready for the war that lies ahead.

Alternate universe - but this isn't really a redemption fic. At all. It is, as the series is called, the one where Grima Lady Macbeth's Eomer Into KingshipSeries

Summary
Grima cannot sleep, Eomer is up too (for Reasons, don't worry about it), and awkward late-night conversations are had in the middle of a cold December evening near yule.
-----
Note: This is set during What Makes a King: Book Two. It is a bit of a potential AU of the AU. Do know that something like this will happen in that story, but it might change in appearance and what is given etc. depending on what is needed for the broader fic. For those that haven't read WMAK - just know that Grima and Eomer made a very dubious agreement to work together for a given value of "work" and "together".Series
