“But alas, if I have not maintained my victory, it is God's fault for not making man and the devil of equal strength!” ― Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

To Smith Or Not To Smith Chapter 13 - Snippet 2

Coming to AO3s near you to shock, delight, and disappoint just about anyone... What the hell are these three getting up to now?

“I think we’re a little past that part, Galadriel.” 

The muted late-afternoon light that filtered through the carved windowpanes hit the soft dust particles suspended in the air, making the forge feel like it was breathing fire and shimmering silver and gold in the same breath. It landed on their skin, too, kissing the figures as softly as they needed to be held. It tangled and danced in Galadriel’s hair, and it was a sight to behold - a braid of silk, a stream of molten mithril threatening to burn if touched. Celebrimbor couldn’t help it, turning to her and glancing over at where the tie held the strands of the braid together. Galadriel rolled her eyes with a knowing smile, slipping the tie off and turning the stream of mithril into a river. It was impractical for what he had in mind, but at that moment, it felt right. 

Celebrimbor turned to his left. Sauron, caressed by the setting sun, looked like he was made from flames, almost inching beyond the human form he’d painstakingly built on a whim centuries ago, the Maia inside nearly clawing through the skin of Halbrand. He was perfectly still, his eyes closed for a prolonged beat as if he relied on the grip of Celebrimbor’s hand to keep him tethered to Middle Earth.

Sudden hankering for Celebrimbor/Sauron but queer platonic. Sauron still plotting to take over Middle-Earth and he decides to kidnap Celebrimbor and have him make more Rings of Power but ends up falling for the sweet, mildly anxious perfectionist.

Given Sauron’s possessive nature and predilection for not letting captives go, it’s probably not the healthiest relationship but even Celebrimbor has to admit that having the Dark Lord attend to his every need (sometimes over-exuberantly, he once said he was cold and was nearly swamped with blankets five minutes later) including providing whatever he needs to smith whatever he wants isn’t all that bad.

Just give me an AU where Celebrimbor disappears and the darkness to the East grows and grows until it just sort of peters out and Celebrimbor comes back with a sheepish Sauron in tow.

Silvergifting cause I still crave it from time to time ahaha

Tyelpe my love 🥹

Rings of Power Valentines Week Day 3: LGBTQIA+

Silvergifting, TheEeEee Celebrimbor??????? Edition

(they were dangerously close to making out during the entire finale. I kept screaming kiss! kiss! kiss! the entire time. I know we won't actually get this in canon, so this remains in that weird fuzzy sexual tension area to my despair, but in my heart they're "I could fix him" "I could make him worse" boyfriends)

(Remember that weird loony toons forge kaboom in the finale? Yeah. That was them fucking on the anvil. Disastrous Expense and all that)

As someone who's a Tolkien's enthusiast but have never engaged in the online fandom I'm really happy to see that so many people ship Sauron/Celebrimbor and Legolas/Gimli (my otp)...

Also to my fellow Galadriel/Gandalf shipmates

Rewatching that scene again and ---

You really will try to tell me that doofus of a dark lord bounding down the stairs like an overexcited Labrador puppy wiggling his tail - "Galadriel! Galadriel! We are gonna make TWO!! Galadriel!! WE ARE GONNA MAKE TWO!! And they gonna be RINGS!! And guess what?? Those rings will be for me and you!! Come come let me show you!" - was in it just for power and it was all 100% manipulation?

Puuuuuhhhleeeeeeeeze🙄🤣🤣🤣

this joke made my gf laugh so hard i had to draw it

A meme requested by my best friend, who hasn't read The Silmarillion, but has assimilated half of the stories via my incesant ramblings. She doesn't even need to read something to judge and go against my ships….and also, my idea of Gil-Galad's parentege, hence the alternative version under the cut that was made specially for her:

Celebrimbor could fix them, he shouldn't have to, but he could
