Summary

February 1752. The halls of Versailles shimmer with candlelight, but behind the gilded mirrors, shadows move. Count Théodore d’Alien is not a schemer by nature, yet fate has drawn him into a conspiracy too intricate to ignore. After overhearing a whispered plot against the king, he becomes an unwilling player in a game where trust is a rare commodity and silence can be deadly.
Exiled—under the guise of diplomacy—to the Swedish court, Théodore finds himself navigating a world of stark contrasts: restrained elegance, cold efficiency, and a different kind of intrigue. But even in Stockholm, secrets have their price. Caught between masked informants, political rivals, and hidden dangers, he must use all his wits to survive.
In a world where silver may turn to coal and poison lurks in the finest wine, will he uncover the truth before he becomes another forgotten name in the annals of history?

Summary

Count Theodore d'Alienne is a mysterious aristocrat who hides his elfin origins and tragic past behind a noble title. He enters the service of the court of Louis XV, where he quickly becomes a witness to and participant in many intrigues. His journey takes him to Versailles, Vienna, London, and even America, where he runs errands for kings and forges bonds with the bourgeoisie.
Theodore encounters war, love, political intrigue, and the joys of family, while remaining true to himself and his principles. But behind the glamour of court life lies an inner struggle and an understanding of the fragility of human life.
Events unfold against the backdrop of the Age of Enlightenment, the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolution, which gradually approaches the threshold of Versailles.

Summary

Mairon stands before Galadriel, on the banks of the Glanduin, as she demands his true name.
He prepares to show her what she wants, to reveal the darkness she can sense in him.
But ultimately, that would mean he loses her.
And he is not prepared to do that.
Instead he does what he promised himself he'd never do, and lies to her.
>>~~~~o0o~~~~<<
Galadriel is worried.
A tether is forming between her and the Man from the Southlands, something she had never foreseen happening, the consequences of it dire.
Only those deeply in love could form such bonds so quickly.
And to bind oneself to a mortal was a fate worse than death.
Or so they said.
But once Galadriel puts on the Ring of Adamant, it begins to reveal the past of the one who is bound to her.
And her dreams leave her with an impossible name on her lips.
Mairon...

Summary

"Once upon a time there was a soldier, a great warrior of the elves. The youngest child and only daughter of a mighty family. And there was… what am I in this story? The monster, the king?”
In trying to convince Halbrand to leave Númenor and take his place as king of the Southlands, Galadriel swears an oath to stand by him no matter what his past holds. This changes the history of Middle-earth for many centuries to come.
[This is linked to the other stories in this collection - it's an expansion of one of the scenarios in the 5+1 story 'Five times Halbrand's secret got revealed' - but it's a standalone fic that should make sense by itself.]
