Summary
There are glimpses of a life she can’t remember. Grey eyes, the start of creation, the imprint of a holly leaf against her skin under the collarbone. There is gentle hands curled around her and spells whispered in Sindar and Quenya as they watch the ages pass.
Then she cast down by the Valar for a singular purpose: To be the defender of those who cannot defend themselves against Sauron. Whereas the Stranger lands with the Harfoots, she lands within Eregion’s rivers.
Celebrimbor calls her Lirien.

Summary
Celebrimbor, in the aftermath.
The Halls of Mandos are a place of healing, but how does the (former) greatest of elven smiths even begin to heal when he still can't forgive himself? Also, his dad and the rest of his insane family are there, and he REALLY isn't ready to deal with them. (I can't write summaries)
***
Follows TROP canon as it pertains to Celebrimbor's arc in season 2, but will also very much be a Silm-fic since Celebrimbor's family and other First Age peeps will make appearances. I'm not a Tolkien scholar by any means but I'm doing as much research as I can so please be kind if I make any lore mistakes, I welcome any corrections or helpful insights! -

A Long Road Ahead by CatsSpilledWine

Summary
This, dear readers, is a story exploring the bizarre life situations life threw Sauron into, and him trying to figure out why, exactly, his life specifically is this miserable and unfair as he tries his best to work with what little opportunities he encounters. Opportunities... good or bad ones? Work with, as in make sure they bloom into something of beauty, or decay?
This story focuses mostly on the dynamics between Sauron and Celebrimbor, with both major and minor sub-plots weaved in here and there.
Feel free to run out from your house and forget your hankerchief to join this journey, as I try to untangle the very chaotic net of my own notes, raw dialogues, and obscure ideas.Series

Summary
No matter how dark things got in his life, Celebrimbor had one point of light: his wife Vinyáre who stayed at his side throughout almost all the first age and most of the second age. She was the only one who could pull him away from his work, even when Annatar tried to keep him in the smithy to finish the Rings of Power.
After losing him to the Dark Lord because Celebrimbor sent her and their twins Melion and Aendis away to protect them from Sauron's grasp, the ellon determined to keep them safe. Vinyáre leaves for Valinor with the little bits of family she still has left and reunites with her parents, mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law.
Spending the next few centuries patiently waiting for him to return to her and their children from the halls of Mandos, Vinyáre is determined to stay strong and look after her family and try to stay true to the little title her husband had given her:

Summary
For months Annatar twists Celebrimbor’s will unchallenged, forging many rings of power; none of which should be used lightly. Though the High King sends increasingly urgent missives after the first blighted day when his herald could not be found, the answer is always the same.
“He is not here. All is well in Eregion.”
The written hand is steady and the ink does not run with saltwater, which flows as freely as the Bruinen when the missive is gathered up and sent like all the rest. For all is not well and never shall be again, and the Dark Lord demands ever more for the sake of a fading star whose worth cannot be weighed by gold or mithril.

Summary
What if instead of killing Celebrimbor, Sauron stops himself in time and takes Celebrimbor with him as he flees Eregion?
What if he truly loves Celebrimbor in his own, twisted way?
What if he's forced to face what he's done to the person he loves and help Celebrimbor recover from the torture, physically and mentally?
What if he truly sets out, again in his own twisted way, to carefully and painstakingly try to repair the broken trust?
What then, bro?

Hi there! this does mention Celebrimbor's past in Sauron's hands and basically this whole thing is him having and recovering from a panic attack.

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
His leg trembles beneath him, tapping out some incessant sound against the floor. He cannot help the way his body shakes when his mind is so consumed by self-loathing. He is certain his hands would tremble if not for the way he presses them harshly into his own skull, twisting the darkness that hides behind his own eyelids, smothering any trace of light, as if he might some day press hard enough to never see again if only to never have to see his own failings-
A sharp pain draws him unexpectedly back.
Annatar glares up at him from the floor.
—
Celebrimbor struggles with his feelings of self-worth as he continues to fail to piece together everything that is wrong in his realm.
Annatar is a cat.
