Litost. Galadriel/Sauron | Halbrand. Explicit. 248.3k | 6.1k chapter [42/61] Chapter 42: Choose the Flames and Learn to Bear It
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.
Bronwyn raised her chin, turning her head to look Halbrand in the eyes next. “They have offered to protect her and her child,” she said in a stout voice. “She has chosen their protection.”
“I,” snarled Halbrand, his face morphing grotesquely in front of Bronwyn, “can protect my own wife and child—”
“Her fears go far beyond that,” Bronwyn informed him, finding her calm despite his raging storm of emotions erupting in front of her.
“She has nothing to fear from me—”
“—She has everything to fear from you,” Bronwyn countered, “if your will is to put her in a cage.” Her eyes flicked to his black gloved hand, the shield of fabric concealing his own golden ring from sight. “You controlled my son and Valandil, turning their eyes as black as coals before fleeing from Pelargir with both of them in tow on your fell beasts,” she pointed out, her eyes then flicking up to meet his own, staring back at her with steel in the gaze. “You control Theo with his ring. As well as Valandil. Her fears are justified, are they not?”

So you're telling me they met at sea
She told him "bind yourself to me" at sea
They survived together at sea
(Why does this raft look like a crown??)
They lead an army together across the sea
He asks her to rule with him at sea
He shows an image of them ruling together in the reflection of the sea
And then you're telling me the whole damn season that the sea is always right??

i love that with heroine/villain dynamics you usually have the lowkey misogynistic trope of “she inspired him to be a better person” but trop haladriel said “no actually she inspired him to be the worst possible version of himself and try to take over the world again” fhskhd and i respect that!
