A fic cover for the haladriel fic, "To be seen wanting (is to really be seen)" by mirageofmae, for the 2025 Haladriel One-shot fic exchange. The image is of a collage featuring, Elrond and Galadriel reuniting in Lindon after her long campaign, Galadriel looking upon the light of Valinor before she decides to leap into the sea, Halbrand in his armor from Numenor just before their campaign to return to Middle Earth, and finally, Halbrand and Galadriel arguing opposite a table just after Miriel has left them to settle their squabble.

Like others, probably the first one I wrote! This fic possessed me and wouldn’t let me go until it was done! I had such a clear vision!! It was an experience to write!!

I think Halbrand wanted this so bad in chapter 5. It’s a photo (that I have saved on my phone) of a blond woman in a dark long sleeved long dress sitting, likely on a chair, and a man in a dark sweater kneeling before her and his head is on her lap and his arms are wrapped around her middle. The woman holds his head, her own head tipped down over him, her long hair obscuring her face. It looks very intimate!

Post a picture you took with no context to bring some zen to the timeline.
A photo of misty mountains. The viewer is standing at a mountain pass, in tall brown grasses, and looking beyond to taller mountains and deep valleys. The mountains are a bit obscured by clouds, little tufts of white scattered throughout the tall peaks. It’s early summer so there is still a little snow clinging to the tops of the mountains.

9 ships to get to know me (where I show my Big Age, lol)
A collage of 9 images, each square is devoted to an image portraying different ships. First image: a fanart drawing of Rachel and Tobias from the book series, Animorphs. Rachel is a young blond, she is smiling at Tobias, who is featured here as a Red Tailed Hawk with a ghostly image of the young man he is behind his morphed hawk form. Second image: Buffy and Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel is looking at Buffy's neck while Buffy is looking directly at the viewer. The image has the red saturation turned up and they look very sultry and cool. The vampire blood imagery is not subtle! Third image: Lee and Kara from Battlestar Galactica. They are sat with their backs to each other but their heads are turned to the side so they can angst at each other. Fourth image: Max and Alec from Dark Angel, their heads are pressed pretty close together, they are looking seriously at something off camera. Fifth image: Nine and Rose from Doctor Who, Rose is on the phone and looks serious or worried while the Doctor watches at her and looks fond of her. Sixth image: Teyla and John from Stargate Atlantis. They are both at a balcony and have their arms crossed, they are looking out over the city. Seventh image: Kirk and Uhura from the more recent Star Trek, alternate universe movie. They're in the space equivalent of an elevator and Kirk is facing Uhura fully while Uhura is not. He's asking her about Spock here. Eighth Image: Dutch and D'avin from Killjoys, they are smooching in full tactical gear! Ninth image: Halbrand, just revealed as Sauron, holding back Galadriel from trying to stab him with her brother's dagger. They are making very intense eye contact.

Princess Diaries AU????!!!! The prompt for this AU was brilliantly conjured up by @femininefearless.bsky.social !!!! It is happening!!!!
“If you’re here to serve a warrant, you can get the fuck out now.” She closed her eyes, reminding herself with some despair that he did not in fact have a warrant out for his arrest—at least not a current one. She sighed, disbelieving for the hundredth time that this is what she had been tasked to do. For Finrod, she thought. For Finrod she would carry on and restore Genovia to its former glory. For Finrod. But why did it have to be him? “Hardly.” She said, finally. Letting him hear her accent. He should know it, even if he’d lived for longer outside of Genovia than in it. “I have far fairer tidings than a warrant.” He quirked an eyebrow at her as she sat herself in front of him. At this distance she could acknowledge that underneath the unkempt appearance and the unfortunate mark of recent brawling, that he was handsome. She’d seen pictures of him as a younger man and he’d aged well enough. The softer features of the teen hardened into the stronger features of a man. She thought the etched lines eyes told her he liked to smile, but there was no smile to be seen now. “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 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?” “I’m here to bring you home, Prince.” His face froze. It was the only description she could think of. His smirk, still stuck on his face, began to look out of place as she could see him processing what she’d said. “You must have me mistaken for someone else—” “I haven’t.” No, she really had not. She had searched and searched and searched for a different truth, but in the end, she was stuck with him. Halbrand Smith, lowly bartender, arrested three times for brawling, and once for grand theft. And clearly, he was still brawling, if the shiner on his face was any sign. But before he’d become Halbrand Smith, he had been Mairon the First of his Name, wayward son of the Valar. First scion of Aulë and Yavanna, the King and Queen of old. Admired child of Genovia. And worst of all, he was Sauron. Hand of Morgoth Bauglier, the Pretender and Usurper. She tipped her own head at him, silently begging him not to make this more difficult than it needed to be. “You are he. Heir to the throne.” “Genovia has no King.” He had pulled back from her, still eyeing her warily. His eyes had gone hard, flat. Whatever warmth he’d regarded her with when he thoughth she was just pretty and lost was gone. She couldn’t tell yet if it was a good thing or a bad thing for Genovia that he was having this reaction. On her way to this seedy bar, in a country half a world away, she had wondered if he would have been eager to reclaim his birthright, eager to step back into power, the path cleared for him by the Usurper himself. But instead, he seemed reluctant and afraid. “No, but it needs one.” She was grimacing as she said it and for a moment they shared in their distaste for their present situation. He blinked at her, “Who the fuck are you?”

Annatar humbly submits his hope that you will vote for the HAIR BOW
A screenshot of Annatar, looking most humble, holding the hand of a fair elven maiden, bows his head so that you may see his coquettish hair bow. He most humbly requests that you vote in the TROP Season 2 awards and that you will vote for his hair bow and not anyone else's hair. Not even Galadriel's Braid Crown even though we love her. You are voting now, yes??

Did I find a way to work in this prompt into a little haladriel smut so I could preview it here? Why yes, yes I did.

Snippet from the chapter I’m working on for “For Light Shines”
An image of a snippet from a fic: “She flushed and broke his gaze, but his expression was seared into her vision. She did not have long to find her equilibrium before he reached for her, spinning her around and his touch was not gentle. He pulled her into him, her back meeting his chest with only his thin grey tunic between them. His hand went to her throat as he tipped her entire head back and up so that he could look down at her and meet her gaze. This position made her keenly aware of how big he was. She felt dwarfed by his bulk, his hand spanned her entire throat effortlessly—the bind loose enough that she thought she could break his hold if need by but firm enough that it set something in her alight. She huffed in annoyance at the blatant power play but he did not stop, only pressed his fingertips into the underside of her jaw and she was dismayed by the way her thighs squeezed together in anticipation. She hated his need to dominate her but could not deny that it also thrilled her. That she was near dripping and he’d barely touched her.” Continued, “The hand not at her throat went straight for her cunt. He confirmed the state of her, his fingers dipping in and swirling at her flesh. Galadriel struggled not to let her eyes roll to the back of her head. She was unbearably sensitive—it should not take so little to rile her. But she wanted him—under her hands, in the clutch of her, swept up in all of her.  “You could remake the world if you set your mind to it.” He said to her, his voice nearing that ragged tone that alone was enough to make her clench on nothing as he gratuitously rubbed his erection into her back.  “I do not—ugh—want that.” She said, choking a bit as he pinched her clit lightly, seeming aware of how she was already near the precipice.  His hand tightened on her throat, his fingers tipping her chin up, making her to stretch her neck to near discomfort. He dropped a kiss on her mouth, “Liar.”

The energy I am bringing into 2025!

We are here to persist, survive, thrive if we can. We are here to help, to support, to cheer. We acknowledge the horrors but we do not let them rule us. Kindness first, sometimes that means disengaging to protect!
