Summary
In the aftermath of Sauron’s destruction in Eregion at the hands of an alliance of necessity, two peoples strive to settle centuries of mutual hatred in the knowledge that their common foe would one day return.
Nirien, the niece of High-king Gil-Galad, steps forward after months of futile negotiations, offering herself to seal the strained, hapless peace between the Elves and the Uruks, accepting their Lord Father as her betrothed.
Haunted by her own past and feelings of inadequacy, she leaves her home, unaware of what will await her in the newly established Uruk settlement in the wasteland of Mordor.
How will she navigate Uruk politics, strange customs, faithlessness coming from within the ranks of her uncle and her past catching up with her?
What if she is not received by her betrothed as she had hoped to be? Can Nirien live with the prospect of a loveless marriage? Or will she flee to her uncle’s court in shame and with the knowledge she failed to achieve what nobody thought her capable of to begin with…

Summary
Adar and Elrond meet in the forest, in secret, from time to time. Adar is not persecuted anymore, but he is not welcome in the elven realm, so they spend several nights together out if the borders of Lindon, especially when Elrond travels to Eregion or Khazad dum.
Thanks to my sweet ROP fandom that encouraged me to write these little pieces. I was delighted to see them so enthusiastic about this ship. They helped me to figure out their dynamic. THANK YOU SO MUCH💘

Summary
When Eleneth is captured by Adar, the ruthless commander of the orcs in the Southlands, she expects her life to be forfeit. Instead, she's drawn into a dangerous alliance with an enemy whose motivations run deeper than she imagined. Tasked with healing the brutal orcs, Eleneth discovers Adar's true desire - to destroy Sauron, the Dark Lord who once corrupted him.
Torn between her loyalty to her people and her growing connection to Adar, Eleneth faces impossible choices. The bond between them deepens, yet shadows of mistrust remain. With Sauron's return looming and both sides preparing for war, Eleneth must decide - Will she help Adar seek redemption and protect Middle-earth from the ultimate evil, or flee home to a fragile, temporary safety?
In this high-stakes tale of moral conflict, shifting allegiances, and forbidden attraction, Eleneth and Adar must confront the darkness within themselves, and each other, before it's too late.

Summary
For the first time in an Age, they were not at war: they bothered nobody, and nobody bothered them. To be uruk was to be beaten, tortured, brutalised, hunted… And yet, for weeks now, they had been at peace. They drifted in clear water, suspended, weightless. If his heart stopped beating now, he wouldn’t even notice.
On the long walk between Forodwaith and the Southlands, Adar greets a new grandchild, and says goodbye to another.
It’s a beautiful day to be uruk-hai. Or whoever you want to be.Series

Summary
Before him, Sauron’s hair gleams scarlet, and his smile is sharp. He is as he was in the clearing. He is as he was in Forodwaith. He is as he was in the barn. He is as he was on the mountaintop when the fierceness of his light blinded Adar at the first. Sauron is all shapes and none, and Adar would know his form, the particular pull of it, that heady, disarming tug, were all his senses robbed from his body.

Or, as Adar is dying, Sauron meets him in his mind. Or, in Adar’s last moments, Sauron. For the #TROPBloodMoon Challenge prompt: Red.

Summary
Галадриэль почувствовала это, когда сковывала руки сопротивляющегося Адара за спиной и вжала его лицом в дерево, втиснув колено между ног. Она принюхалась, но Адар не пах так, как пах Элронд, сладкий цветочный вкус из железы на загривке, оседающий на языке.
Адар не пах ничем, как бета, но она не сомневалась в том, что нащупала. -

Summary
Adar finds an unlikely ally in Eragion after his children turn on him in a bout of unexpected battle madness. Surely this time, the elf he’s brought home really will help him defeat Sauron instead of using his mercy as an opportunity to kill dozens of orcs AGAIN. Surely this time he can truly defeat Sauron and keep the Uruk safe, right?
Celebrimbor manages to survive being tortured by Sauron. Now he just has to survive teaming up with the army that invaded his city, the heartbreak of his lover and his smiths turning on him, and the psychic damage that comes from being the son of an infamous kingdom-killer working with someone called Lord Father.
(Or: Sauron’s exes unionize, rebound together, and try and get custody of the kids. Canon divergence after ROP s2e6. Let's get out of Ost-in-Edhil with a lower body count!)

Summary
'Think of the seeds we planted in the ash,’ he said, his lips brushing Adar’s skin. ‘One day I’ll sit among the flowers, and that wilderness will be a meadow, and I’ll sing of the sage blossoming along the river, and I’ll be as close to you then as I am now. In defiance of death.’

In the eldest of elder days, Adar had a workplace romance in Angband.How much has been taken from him, over thousands of years in the dark?
