Summary
They stop and make camp for the night, their strange little party. Three elves and an Uruk. Distantly, it amuses something in him, touches an unfamiliar sensation of lightness buried deep. The hum flits across some space in his heart, where, somewhere, once, in a time he can no longer clearly remember, he read strange tales by the river in the moonlight. This would be a very strange tale, indeed.
---Or, fanfic shows you things that were, things that are, and some things that have not yet come to pass. What if Adar, Arondir, Galadriel, and Elrond ended up on a journey together? (Chapters added as they come to me, so subscribe! But no cliffhangers or anything, each chapter is its own tale!)

Summary
But Arondir had gone, some months, perhaps a year ago, now, a blink of an eye to an elf, but to a tired Uruk who foolishly found a heart, the time stretches longer than all the years that had come before. Before their strange fellowship had formed. Before Arondir had found him in this tower and saved him from the clutches of a fate worse than death.
The first soft touch of a hand on his.
And the scent of trees had filled the air.
---
Or, in another life, Adar and his children settle in Mordor and come to peace with Elves and Men. Or, Adar cannot live in the sun and Arondir cannot live in darkness, but they are in love. Or, @Adaristired drew this exquisite art of Adar waiting for Arondir and then the two of them curling up together, and how could I resist?

Summary
A hand comes to cup his cheek, and he leans into the gesture.
Adar could see his body, frail and flayed, if he tried now, he knows. He could see the manacle that so long held him, invisible in the dark. He could see the tremble of his fingers.
But all he sees is Sauron.
---
Or, on a dark and nameless peak, the darkness eats away at Adar. Or, after ages in the nothing, Sauron brings Adar light, and he is beautiful. Or, how could I not write this scene?

Summary
“Why have you stopped?” Adar tries to keep the edges of his irritation tamped. But he knows she can hear them tucked along the edges of his words nonetheless as mirth glitters through her eyes despite the wash of tired, furious stubbornness that is their default setting in these days.
“It is hot.” The declaration comes in the tone of the command. In the righteous smugness that rears less these days but manifests, Adar suspects, specifically for him, in times where they are both worn thin.
Galadriel's hand comes up to rest on the mane of her horse, fingers tangling through it, soothing. “The horses are hot.” She adds and turns her eyes on him again, and her eyebrows seem to say. And you? In challenge.
---
Or, in the midst of a long journey, Adar and Galadriel stop by the side of a lake. There's banter, skinny dipping, and, despite everything, something soft.
