Summary
“Perhaps I was always meant to ruin this.” He grabbed her arms and spun her around to face him so fast it dizzied her. “I was greedier in my youth. If I’d known you back then, I’d have stolen you away. A treasure no Silmaril could compare to.”
In which Galadriel's attempt to assassinate Sauron in his war tent doesn't go quite as she planned.

Summary
She’d been a victim of his visions before, his mind traps, his illusions. Keenly, bitterly, she remembered the torment of his first proposal, how he’d even shapeshifted once into her brother, then cast them both out to sea again when things had not unfolded as he’d desired. He was a shapeshifter and a conjurer, but it was so much worse than that. The manipulation of her mind, of the very perception of reality, extinguishing logic, replacing rationale, until all there was, all that remained, was only the foundations of his manipulations beneath her touch.
It was terrifying.
Or — that one ridiculously long one-shot Halbrand/Galadriel/Annatar mind palace threesome fic.

Summary
“Halbrand, is it?” She asked. He frowned at her. He was not wearing a name tag. “Is that the name you’re going by now?”
He leaned forward, elbows resting on the bar, unheeding of the grimy surface. He smirked at her, taking her in as she had done him. He cocked his head at her, “What’s it to you?”

Summary
Galadriel does not need to ride to the south to find a war, for she feels like she has been waging one against herself since the moment Elrond pulled her out of that river.
But how can she avenge a man who doesn’t exist by striking at the very enemy who brought him into being in the first place? The same enemy whose monstrous heart she’d somehow felt beating as the mirror of her own?
...
Post-Season 1 AU. Galadriel reckons with the aftermath of Halbrand's betrayal & her conflicted feelings. But the true plan to be enacted in the event of Morgoth's defeat has not yet come to pass, & she may need Sauron to fight at her side again to save Middle Earth.
