shining like a fiery beacon

chapter 21: i don't care if heaven won't take me back

Fandom: The Rings of Power Fanfiction Pairing: Galadriel / Halbrand | Sauron Rating: E Chapter: 21 of 33 Word Count: 147,004

read on ao3

Set after the Finale.

Galadriel has left Eregion, has run as far from the Southlands as the map allows.

It was fitting that she wanders to where her search for her enemy (her almost) had last ended, on the opposite end of this Middle Earth in the northern wasteland.

She doesn’t remain alone in her exile for long.

thank you to the kind anon (whoever you are!!) and a few reviewers who went back and reminded me that beacon is... not as shitty as i thought it would be.

against all odds, the doc is somehow open. I haven't wanted to write canon in... weeks. But somehow!!!

last line :/

Rule: post the last sentence/line from your WIP or wherever you left off in your art. Then tag as many people as there are words in that sentence/line. Please make a new post if you decide to join the game.

legitimately everyone on the planet has tagged me in this and I'm late because i keep thinking I'll be at a good point with beacon. yet.

anyone else who wants to play by all means.

one

“Tell me your name.”

“Mine? Or this body’s?”

“Halbrand?” she cautiously dares to choke out.

“Halbrand’s not here right now,” his grin is mean, but his eyes are glassy and reflective of the horror in her own.

“Pity, he didn’t have an heir back then.” Sauron casts a nod towards the scroll rolling into the river.

“I suppose a dead man can still pass on his name.” She’s so busy watching her evidence disappear into the river, the elf doesn’t notice the human’s hand coming around her windpipe.

It’s a Maia’s strength that makes her fall.

“Dead-ringer,” she savors the word, rolling her hips as he thrust up into her. “I’m not the one who just said they’re fucking a look-alike for their mother.”

One would think that would be a shocking statement or a lethal insult. Instead, his lips just curl, and hands dig into her hips with enough force to bruise, slamming her down harder onto his cock.

“Do you want to stop, Mommy?”

When they were children, they had played house on her father’s country estate in Wales.

(Lord Sauron preferred child-free holidays. Had preferred to not remember he had a daughter, an arrestingly lovely woman now that could become a coveted treasure if shown off too much in the papers.

He preferred if she was kept isolated, with her brother as her keeper. To remain like a little girl, who was still content to play house with the boy she had been raised with.)

“Don’t you dare, Daddy.”

Their parents didn’t know it but they had never stopped playing house. After all, wasn’t that what they wanted? For neither of them to grow up?

three

“You can call me Narvi if you wish,” he says quietly, returning to his task as if he hadn’t just granted a rare privilege.

There was something lurking behind the set jaw of the Crown Prince, one didn’t need to have keen eyesight to see that.

Isildur doesn’t feel the need to ask why the elderly dwarf was so reluctant to relinquish the task to his son. Sure, the King was willing to have him pour out the dirty water.

Narvi’s face was stoic in the task, but there was a mutinous gleam in his eye.

(How his hand seemed to pat at his side each time he set down the empty metal basin could have been confused for a nervous tick.

But, as the ritual concluded and the small dwarf prince helped the elderly High King stand, Sauron swallowed the question he wanted to whisper in Durin’s ear.

‘What have you got in your pocket?’

It wasn’t much of a riddle.

But, power was a game that Sauron had seldom tired of. It was sacred and of immense antiquity, and even wicked creatures were afraid to cheat when they played at it.

Yet, there were beings with good hearts who sometimes realized that the only way to win, was to resort to less than honorable means.

Just discovered the Halbrand/Galadriel ship and your fic Shining Like a Fiery Beacon was the first one and it is totally riveting so far. I check every day for updates and just want to say, don't ever stop writing, not just for this ship but writing in general because you are truly gifted and brilliant!

this is what i needed to hear after a... really really bad few weeks in this fandom. In all honestly, I wanted to quit.

yet.

i am so grateful to everyone who has been so so kind and supportive and just. I owe the community a lot for helping me get back into it and think with a new name, I can hopefully get back to writing. I am so glad you are loving beacon and here's a sneak peek for the next chapter!

Hal just continuing to sleep over because he gets horny in the morning and Gal said he can’t masturbate so what is a guy to do….maybe not waking up in the middle of the night horny for her wet cunt… pulling her closer to him and dragging her silk shorts down to thrus— (oh she’s not wearing any underwear..)

Of course you have fans! You have writen a beautiful complex story with lots of smut! It's no wonder everyone is crazy about shining!

I had a dream you updated and was so disappointed to wake up and realise that's all it was! With the cliffhanger you ended the last chapter it's obvious everyone is a bit crazy about it! I have all this scenarios going in my head!

ahhhh it feels sometimes that I’m kinda of quiet/casting this story into the void at times since I’m by NO MEANS the most popular fic in the tag (I tip hat my dearest friends and absolutely incredible writers @jackpotgirl @mortaltempless ) as well as there’s no much hype around other smut fics!!

I’m updating tomorrow!!! I promise! I have 5k on the draft for chapter 12 and would LOVE if you have any ideas of what you want to see/dreamed of!

Can you give us a little snipet of the next chapter of beacon??!! I miss it!!

Durin III passes away unexpectedly. Rather, he passes unexpectedly because no one would have thought the old Dwarven king would have tried to stand valiantly before the Bane and defend his Kingdom, his grandchildren, the future of his line.

His son had picked up his ring, when his father had fallen (as his wife had said), rising with a force to bring his hammer down on the unholy invader's blade.

The King passes on the seventh day of his injuries, with the Son of Aule performing a final blessing. The King, Durin the Great, might have begun his reign long before his father had drawn his last breath, but now, for the first time, he held the ring by right, instead of by theft.

(guys haven't touched beacon in months apologies if this is awful im coming back from medical hell after getting surgery at the start of may)
