#not tagging aragorn or arwen fans to avoid offending that ship

Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.

The fate of Arwen and Sauron saddens me terribly. I know that they were destined to die alone. Abandoned by everyone. And yet I wonder... What if both survived? Arwen gave up her immortality. Sauron is an eternal being, created from the thoughts of Ilúvatar before the creation of the World... Still capable of miracles. Nenya, forged from the metal he touched when he was repentant - as Halbrand. With the stone he touched in Celebrimbor's forge. Nenya restored the colors and life to the Trees of Lindon. And what if both Arwen and Sauron were given a second chance? Together? Repentant Sauron = Halbrand resembles Aragorn. Galadriel was able to trigger good reflexes in him. Gazing at her for weeks, he cried and almost changed his heart. His Queen left him. Or maybe he found the Second? Maybe Arwen could also move, crush his black Heart? A true, new beginning?
