You can’t leave it here 😢😢 this is so good!! Please write more!

I have many Thoughts on this AU! Trouble is that, unlike Sauron, I cannot plot. 

I know the broad outline of how the divergence point (Sauron staying with the Mirdain, no one tortured to death) plays out and I definitely know how Numenor’s attitude towards the Elves changes and why they fixate on the elven kingdoms in ME rather than Aman. But I’m not sure how Numenor’s efforts to colonize Eriador go, nor am I sure exactly what goes on in Numenor after Sauron gets there, other than that no one knows Annatar is Sauron and that there’s (probably) less human sacrifice and Morgoth worship. He still talks Pharazon into invading Aman, though, since they attacked his elf and city - getting an island tsunamied is totally a reasonable and rational response.

Plus, it’d really be two fics? One about how Sauron doesn’t fail his (very shallow) repentance, and one, a couple millenia later, about how Numenor tries to colonize Eriador and Sauron’s subsequent Plot. Or maybe not, since I’d have to show the elves noticing the gradual evolution in Numenorean culture over the centuries, but tonally it would be off, going from shipfic to something more plotty and gen-ish.

But have the following paragraph, featuring a small reference to Celebrimbor’s xeno kink, since you can never go wrong there:

The Sea-Adan was no doubt looking intently at him, but Annatar kept his submissive pose and used the time to subtly alter the body he wore, bringing it in appearance closer to the Secondborn. The fall of his hair covered his ears – good, they wouldn't notice if he rounded them. The fingers he shortened too, and made broader, and the teeth he made blunter (pity, that: Tyelperinquar liked their sharpness, as he liked all the little touches that read to incarnate eyes as wrong). The eyes he kept, though, the flat gold alien to Eldar and Edain alike. Let him seem to them less threatening and less elven, but let them not forget he was one of the lesser gods.
