#shelob x adar

[eowyn7023]

Shelob learns about Human customs for Halloween. Anything with scary spiders and cobwebs is bound to intrigue her. She inflicts these customs on Adar’s crèche at Mount Gundabad.

Shelob (LOTR; Shadow of Mordor/War games) and Adar (TROP) are soulmates. Adar, in the AU of this fic, is still working for Sauron in the Third Age, and caring for young Uruks at the Uruk (orc) stronghold of Gundabad.

Shelob's wedding dress.

This is what she should have worn in The Wedding of Shelob and Adar (https://archiveofourown.org/works/50542408).

“Union,” an update to “Touch the Darkness:”

Chapter Summary: the forging of Sauron’s Ring—the union of their Light and Power, where realities blend with dreams, where they find themselves where it should have all began. King and Queen on that raft. But their union does not go unnoticed by Shelob, who pursues her own ways of fortifying her power in the one way she knows best—glutting on all that Adar can give her.

Haladriel | Explicit | 3.4K chapter

CW: NSFW x2, Royal Raft sex™️, oaths being sworn, Making of The One, Shelob lusting after Adar, and hate sex

And there he was, her king, her husband, the father of their child just drinking in the vision of her before him.

His touch was pure adoration as he caressed her chin, the same hand, the same hold as he once used in this vision of his making. Golden green eyes scanned her face, the picture of devotion, of loyalty and obsession. Of love. “My queen,” he whispered, cautious, as if he did not wish to disturb so endearing a moment.

Galadriel smiled softly, the words floating to her lips, even as her eyes drifted to his mouth in anticipation of the kiss his lips promised. “And you,” she breathed, “my king.”

Mouth lifting up to meet his, she could wait no longer for his embrace. The meeting of Light and Dark. The union of their bodies and their magic. The waters rippled from the burst of power, the very earth at the floor of the Sea shuddering. His lips crushed hers, a surge of his power tingling through her body and filling her nose, her mouth with that thick and sweet scent of smoke. Hungry, empty, she wanted to be filled in every way. She drew his tongue inside her mouth, letting him devour her. She ran her hands over the thick black robes that hung from his body. She wanted them gone. Tearing into them, the fabric gave way so easily, his laughter tingling in her mouth as he eagerly repaid the same.

Only crowns atop their heads, the calm seas and bright sun sent sparkles of light dancing over their skin. “Galadriel of the Noldor,” his hands clung to hers, holding them between their naked bodies. “I give you my protection for you and our line, as long as my spirit burns, even if my bones should break and my breath should cease. I give you my oath to keep you safe…” those eyes began to glow, iridescent greens and ambers, as if he lit from within, “my precious.”

Ended up getting 5 "Rings of Power" season 2 spoiler scoops this week from Fellowship of Fans and really excited about them, especially since some are about Halbrand/Sauron!!! :D Also confirmed more about Ameila Kenworthy's character too.

Starting off with the Twitter thread FOF made and the order they posted them. The first spoiler is that Pelargir will be a location in season 2 and that soldiers will arrive by boat to get there possibly from Númenor as this city does play a big part when the downfall of the island happens and the flee to Middle Earth.

Halbrand will be at one of the human villages, possibly Pelargir, as well as a forest in Surrey to recruit humans to his side. They confirmed Charlie was filming at both locations. It makes sense that he keeps the Halbrand form as they already trusted him as the King of the Southlands and a lot of us were thinking he'd keep using this form to get the men and his 9 ring bearers to his side.

Sam Hazeldine/Adar, Ameila Kenwothy, and Zates Yatour were all spotted at the village speech too.

Amelia and Zates' characters are likely not human and there's now speculation that they're playing either dark elves, vampires, werewolves, or for Amelia even the human form of Shelob if they do the same as that video game (which I'm a bit surprised about if it's that) and she will be on the show in spider form or the human form of vampire Thuringwethil.

Amelia also had a chemistry test with both Charlie and Sam. I didn't expect this at all and makes me even more curious who she is playing to have tested with both of them meaning they'll share a lot of scenes together. It also all but confirms she's not Celebrían, not only since most of us are certain she hasn't been born yet, but it's highly unlikely that she would be sharing scenes with Halbrand/Sauron and Adar. This seems more to be she's on their side and either is a dark elf, vampire, or Shelob. Though this also makes me think of when "Buffy" had Spike with Harmony and she realized he was in love with Buffy and didn't feel the same about her and with how much she and Buffy looked alike, as there is a resemblance between Amelia and Morfydd Clark's Galadriel, so I can see this from a Haladriel perspective too. Not sure if this show would get that soap opera like but would be crazy if there was whatever you call a love triangle but with 5 people involved (Halbrand/Sauron, Galadriel, Amelia's character, Adar, and Celeborn LOL). But would also be nice to show that Sauron can have romantic/sexual feelings for others as some of the purists seem to think he's not capable of that. LOL :)

ETA: It would be a love pentagon or pentagram. LOL Didn't even know that was a thing. :D

Scenes are so darrrk. Let me see shit!

Handyman Isildur!

Oh boi Estrid x Isildur vibes are strong here. Flirrrrting.

Arondir is suspicious.

Well that subplot got resolved quickly. At least this kinda puts the Shelob shifter theory to rest.

Oh this is awkward.

Is Arondir gonna talk to the Ents first? If so, I love that for him. Call back to his S1 talk of being a Grower.

Maxim wasn't joking about the mud for him this season.

Ah fuck quicksand, my childhood fear! Glad he still has plot armor

Y'all better be okay!

What the fuck was that. What the actual fuck.

Theo and Arondir hug I'm gonna cry ;_;

Ohhh this is even more awkward for the Estrid x Isildur shippers. RIP. (Look we all thought Hagen was dead. It's fine.)

Aronwyn theme :(((

Lord of Pelargir but alas I have a bad feeling about what that might foreshadow, oh dear.

Gotta bring back the Nampat theme somehow I guess.

Don't let that be Berek :(

Fuuuck

I thought Elrond would have a healer moment but nope, Galadriel healer time.

Elrond having to hold a ring, fascinating! Explains a lot.

Galadriel BAMF stuff, love to see it!

AYYY THAT WAS FUCKED UP,  ADAR. I LOVE IT.

Uruks in The Rings of Power “Culture and Language Tidbits” In the Nerd of the Rings interview (https://youtu.be/eDJ9SgAyjL4) the uruk cast talks about some of the aspects of creating their orcs.

Beyond being one dimensional They mention how the show is “set in a period of time when orcs are closer to their creation and further removed from dominating Mordor” (~7:05) and around ~20:40 Jed Brophy talks about the work that went into creating the backstory for the uruks. Robert Strange mentions how Adar as well as actor Joseph Mawle were “very passionate about making the uruks, the orcs come across as a people”. The orcs should not just be seen as a “kind of killing machines, or just generic battle evil minions”.  Around ~7:05 Phil Grieve mentions this background work as well and Mawle being “very keen that we take a very different approach, in terms of seeing ourselves; perhaps as refugees looking for our own homeland, so culturally it is quite different I think,” compared to the orcs and uruk-hai we see in the movies.  Tangible elements of culture Around ~33:10 they talk about the orcs of this age, their sensitivity to sunlight, their physicality and the culture of the orcs e.g. their armour designs being based on things scavenged and stolen, such as Magrot´s chestplate which gets handed to someone else after his death or the helmets (some of them being made of bones, some of them being first age elven helmets refashioned) and their protective capes/cloaks made from dragonskin (x / x / x). It seems they filmed more material than can be seen on the show e.g. of the armour bits getting distributed after Magrot´s death.   Black Speech (x) As Jed Brophy mentions around ~16:44 there was resistance to them having too much Black Speech in the show. Joseph Mawle (x) and dialect coach Leith McPherson supported them in having more “sprinkled in there”. Having this harsh guttural language is amazing for them as actors. “It does give us a kind of identity … you got dwarves speaking Khuzdûl,  you got elves speaking different dialects of elvish but we have our own language and we would not use common speech especially in a battle situation, so we were very chuffed to be able to have sprinkled in our own language.”  E.g. In the Tavern scene Jed´s “Fabio” (?) says  ushun? nampuk (”kill them all” / “they all must die”) which Arondir understands, so he knows what the uruk is saying, but all the others taverners have no idea what’s coming so “it’s a bit of a surprise” there. “Fortunately we were able to have those conversation and support from various people to allow us to have” some Black Speech.  Phil Grieve mentions that however the process was interesting, with a “round table back in the states”, everything said having to be vetted, then coming back to them through the dialogue coach. Beyond being one dimensional - Before TRoP?  Tolkien was rather undecided on the “nature” of the orcs (” (I nearly wrote 'irredeemably bad'; but that would be going too far. Because by accepting or tolerating their making — necessary to their actual existence — even Orcs would become part of the World, which is God's and ultimately good.) But whether they could have 'souls' or 'spirits' seems a different question;”  Letter 153) but there is little more in his writing that gives much insight? We have some quotes that give hints that orcs might reject authority but not necessarily (a life of) violence. Rebellion was not unheard of (Gorbag gets called “that filthy rebel” or a rebel pack is mentioned “then it must be a pack of rebel Uruk-hai“ and there is most famously the scene with Shagrat and Gorbag: “‘Grr! Those Nazgûl give me the creeps.[...] But He likes ’em; they’re His favourites nowadays, so it’s no use grumbling. I tell you, it’s no game serving down in the city.’ ‘You should try being up here with Shelob for company,’ said Shagrat. ‘I’d like to try somewhere where there’s none of ’em. But the war’s on now, and when that’s over things may be easier.’ ‘It’s going well, they say.’  ‘They would,’ grunted Gorbag. ‘We’ll see. But anyway, if it does go well, there should be a lot more room. What d’you say? – if we get a chance, you and me’ll slip off and set up somewhere on our own with a few trusty lads, somewhere where there’s good loot nice and handy, and no big bosses.’ ‘Ah!’ said Shagrat. ‘Like old times.’ ‘Yes,’ said Gorbag. ‘But don’t count on it. I’m not easy in my mind. As I said, the Big Bosses, ay,’ his voice sank almost to a whisper, ‘ay, even the Biggest, can make mistakes. Something nearly slipped, you say. I say, something has slipped. And we’ve got to look out. Always the poor Uruks to put slips right, and small thanks. But don’t forget: the enemies don’t love us any more than they love Him, and if they get topsides on Him, we’re done too.’”

Summary: In the recently posted chapter 98 of “Our Song Ringing Through the Void”, Adar is devastated by the deaths of some Uruks, and goes in search of comfort from Shelob. In this fic, Shelob provides that comfort.

Can a Spider Love, ch. 2

ch. 2: Frustration

Adar and Shelob are able to spend the night together, now that Adar can borrow a horse to ride. Adar introduces Shelob to kissing. One thing leads to another — until Adar decides that Shelob needs to think about whether she really wants sex rather than letting her be swept away by sexual arousal.

I am writing in @allpowerfulnarrator’s AU, “Our Song Ringing Through the Void”, where evil spider Shelob and Adar of the Moriondor are soulmates.

Summary: Shelob and Adar plan an Uruk wedding after discovering that they are soulmates. Adar doesn’t remember his Elven past, but he may have been Avari, like his friend Maeglin. Adar happily accepts his friend’s suggestions on adding Avari flavor to the wedding. Shelob and Adar incorporate elements of Uruk, Evil Spider from the Void, Avari, and Hobbit culture into the celebrations. Set in Mordor during the Second Age.

inspired by “Our Song Ringing Through the Void” by MidnightNinja27, aka @allpowerfulnarrator.

Summary: Adar wants morning sex, first thing. Shelob, in her human-like form, wants coffee, first thing. Adar takes steps to get his way, but Shelob makes a counter-offer. Pure smut, no plot. NSFW.

[eowyn7023]

Summary:

Shelob lures Adar into her cave, so that she can stick him to the floor with spiderwebs. He is happy to agree as soon as she explains. They have spiderweb sex, then later they do a spider mating dance together. Zero plot, just fluffy smut.

Set one year after the wedding of Shelob and Adar. The place: Cirith Ungol. The time: in the Second Age, well before the fall of Númenor. Sauron occupies Mordor, unchallenged.

I am writing in Midnightninja27’s AU. All you need to know is that 1) Shelob has a humanoid form, 2) Shelob and Adar are soulmates, 3) Sauron never performed the experiments on Uruks in Forodwaith, and so Adar never rebelled or tried to kill him, and 3) the Dark Lord’s Consort is a romantic who encourages their love.

[eowyn7023]

Time: T. A. 2793. Place: the Uruk fortress Gundabad. All the Dwarves are angry about the Uruks killing Thrór at Moria, in 2790. Moria is unassailable, so a huge Dwarf coalition army attacks a different Uruk stronghold in 2793. Unfortunately, our heroes Adar and Shelob live there.

I am trying real angst for the first time ever. Please be kind.

My contribution to Tolkien October, or Tolkien Halloween, or something like that.

Summary: Shelob and Adar try intercourse for the first time. Naturally a spider has a — unique — perspective on the proper way to do this.

The Black Speech word for penis is ghru.
