    Summary

    Low music thrummed around the group, dimmed red lights illuminating everything in a glow of restrained debauchery as Galadriel's lips pursed together tightly, the hairs on the back of her neck prickling.

    If she'd actually bothered to read back in detail when the destination and dates had been announced, instead of just agreeing quickly thanks to being distracted by a heavy load of building regulation paperwork, she might have realised that their intended destination for the celebration was a strip club.

    ***

    Work hard, play hard - Right? At least that's what Galadriel is trying on for size. The only thing is, it's not exactly a great fit. But when a charming exotic dancer plants himself rent free in her mind, she finds that trying her best to fight her undeniable attraction to him isn't exactly going the way she'd planned.

    Or: Alexa, play Pony by Ginuwine.

    Summary

    “The smiths only need to see a single working solution, to show them the way,” Halbrand says. “A place to begin… a key to unlock the dam.”

    “And you truly believe that Celebrimbor will discover such a key, in less than three weeks?”

    “No.” Halbrand picks up a piece of chalk and presses it into Galadriel’s hand. “You will.”

    . . .

    Or: Facing off with Sauron in the midst of a battle, Galadriel confronts her buried memories of the ring-forging in Eregion, and the part that she really played in it. (S1 E8 AU)

    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.]
