Ok but remember all those Valinor fics where Celebrimbor doesn’t have any official power? Like sometimes he’s the Lord of House Feanor but that’s it?
Ok so imagine that the Valar has to hold Sauron in a little holding cell or something before sending his unhoused ass to the void. So for a short time, Sauron is just moping in a large glass jar.
Anyway; The Valar allows visitors to The Jar for closure and through a series of events, Celebrimbor ends up visiting The Jar, with supervision.
Sauron is surprised to see Celebrimbor and even more surprised that Celebrimbor is dressed so simply. In the end, Sauron gets the interesting surprise that Celebrimbor isn’t a lord or king in Valinor. He calms down feanorians and does some taxes but that’s it. And we get a funny view of Sauron just, not computing that this brilliant elf who ran a brilliant city hasn’t been given another city to keep doing brilliant things in
Like,
Sauron, confused a fuck: So wait, who’s doing all the inventing and innovation here?
Celebrimbor, amused and a little bitter: Aulë’s folk have always been the scientific minds of Valinor.
Sauron, trying to remember Aulë’s forges and compare: …Eregion was equally as advanced.
Celebrimbor: It was more advanced actually, but y’know. *Vague hand motion* I’m unfit to rule a city now. Because I’m traumatized, mentally fragile, and shouldn’t be in a position of power.
Sauron: What. Why. Oh. Wait, Maedhros ran Himring with greatness.
Celebrimbor: Yes. Yes, he did.
And the people who thought this interaction needed supervision are just like, O.o
I love the idea of ppl in Valinor treating Celebrimbor with fragility and gentleness (to Celeb’s befuddlement) and meanwhile, Sauron is treating Celebrimbor the exact same way as he did in Eregion during their friendship. Like, Sauron respects Celebrimbor’s mental competency and willpower to an utmost degree but all the Valinor elves are refusing to let Celebrimbor have a position of power cuz it might stress him out.

Silvergifting Week - Alternate Universe
University AU! after a bit of thinking on what I should do, I ended up settling on this because I was like 'ah, i've just graduated uni may as well', and I though it would fit their characters.
I imagine they're studying at The University of Oxford or something cuz Tolkien was once a professor there, and also I grew up in Oxfordshire and know Oxford city pretty well lmao
Regardless. I think Celebrimbor himself comes from London, and comes from a super mega rich family, so man grew up in a mansion in london (so, absurd amount of money). but also, he's very lowkey about it, and too embarrassed to bring it up. no one assumes he is a rich boy from how he acts.
Mairon on the other hand I imagine being a middle or upper-middle class dude from some rural farm town up north. Mega goody-two shoes, very up himself, kind of insufferable, but also a genius.
anyway, these two end up being massive academic rivals, or at least, they are rivals from Mairon's point of view. Mairon can't stand not being top of his class, so when there is a dude who does better than him, you can trust that he is plotting out hundreds of ways in which he can murder him.
would write a fic if i had the motivation but i do not, so im just gonna leave it at that.

Silvergifting Corpse Bride AU: people are telling Celebrimbor that now he's solved the "inevitable fading problem" he should settle down and get married but he just wants to be left alone. at some point he gets so frustrated that he goes out riding and starts ranting to his horse. he exaggeratedly proposes to what he thinks is a broken off branch, making sure to emphasise that he is the Scion of Feanor, the last son of a house of kinslayers and war criminals and oh please won't you do the honour of being wed to me until the universe ends and my spirit is at last extinguished... and then he slides one of his rings onto this branch, and it starts wiggling. Tyelpe screams and rides home with haste.
And you guys know what I'm thinking. Obviously, it's Sauron's hand, and this time it wasn't cut off by Isildur, let's say it was a wound in the war and he never went back and picked up his hand. It's still alive because the one ring doesn't exist, he's a Maia and they have incarnate fuckery that we can use here.
So Tyelpe has tried his best to forget about that weird thing that happened in the woods when Annatar rocks up, wearing Tyelpe's ring and saying that he's here to see his husband because they're tied together until 'the universe ends and his spirit is extinguished.'
Annatar settles himself in as the Consort to the Lord of Eregion and he enjoys it. Celebrimbor is both startled and fascinated by this so he's just letting it happen with minor fussing (rarely directed at Annatar). Gil-Galad is suspicious, Elrond is very suspicious, Galadriel is hostile, and Círdan thinks it's funny because the Maia clearly wants to be courted and Celebrimbor is giving him nothing except brainstorming sessions and everyone can see that even that is kind of working.
For Mairon, this happens after Morgoth's defeat and he's stuck because he really doesn't want to go back to Valinor and grovel, no wants Sauron around, and Mairon doesnt want to live like a nobody -- so when he realises this idiot proposing to his detatched hand is an Elven Lord and a renowned smith, he's down for it.
And yeah, Mairon is kind of offended that Celebrimbor isn't trying to court him properly. But Tyelpe is cutest in his forge.
#this isnt really trop or silm but it could be either. however#i love charles edwards celebrimbor. he is perfect to me.#corpse bride au#will i write this? i cannot say.#galadriel is annatar's no1 hater always#silvergifting#silmarillion#trop#the rings of power#sauron#mairon#celebrimbor#telperinquar#annatar#lotr#lord of the rings#the silmarillion#eregion#this could only happen to a feanorian#this is just a thought as it came to me. it doesnt have to make sense.

That last Oneshot for the Nyannatar AU opens the door to some hilarious concepts.
Namely, Sauron will 100% drop his Nyannatar disguise the second Celebrimbor is in serious danger to save him. He’s also not necessarily the best judgement of when elves are on the brink of death. His experience with Morgoth means he views elves as a bit squisher than they truly are. Can you blame him? Morgoth was always rough with his toys.
And I’m not suggesting Celebrimbor is accident prone… but he’s probably very, very unlucky. Unlucky enough to get into trouble a couple more times after the orc-incident. And he’s not sure how this mysterious elf keeps finding him whenever he’s in danger, or why he cannot seem to stay awake long enough to strike up a proper conversation, but it’s infuriating to him. All he wants is to say thank you, but he can’t even get a name!
So… maybe he starts going out of his way to find ways to talk to him. Only, while Sauron is terrible at telling when elves are actually about to die, he’s shockingly good at sniffing out when they aren’t in danger at all. Fake gambits won’t work, and it doesn’t matter how many times Celebrimbor wanders around in the woods nobody shows up to rescue him OR attack him. So Celebrimbor is forced to seek out danger in more and more convoluted ways. Some real damsel in distress type nonsense.
Basically we get the world’s most convoluted game of Chicken where Celebrimbor is toying with his own life just to have a conversation and Sauron is desperately trying to stop him but also doesn’t want to risk his own disguise and REFUSES to actually talk to Celebrimbor even if it is to tell him off for getting kidnapped by a dragon on purpose.
#Nyannatar Au#nyannatar#sauron#mairon#annatar#celebrimbor#Sauron frantically singing songs of SHUT THE FUCK UP as he slugs Celebrimbor over a shoulder#Celebrimbor desperately trying to spit out as many words as possible before he gets knocked out by magic#this too is silvergifting

instead of, you know, working, i am thinking of the 'gardens of power' au that the charlies themselves came up with and wishing i had the time/energy/willpower to write it bc like
celebrimbor is a famous jewelsmith who owns and runs several jewelry companies throughout middle earth
and he's trying to live up to the wild expectations of both his father and his grandfather who is like the most famous smith of any sort ever and can you imagine dinner parties with grandpa feanor tho
celebrimbor has a huge manor in eregion and it's gorgeous and there's this massive winding driveway that snakes through all sorts of trees and gardens and ponds
and of COURSE he needs someone to care for these gardens and this is where annatar comes in
a maia down on his luck, recently fired by his big boss after one of his co-workers betrayed him
poor annatar is all but begging on the streets when celebrimbor takes pity on him and offers him a job as the grounds keeper
which of course annatar accepts because plants are DEFINITELY better than people
and he does a good job!
but then!
celebrimbor catches annatar in his workshop one day!
annatar reveals that he is a smith and he can make things and he wants to expand from the caring of the gardens into working with celebrimbor on his jewelry business
and so celebrimbor gives him a chance to prove himself
and that is how annatar and celebrimbor team up to create the prettiest set of wedding rings you've ever seen
and they fucknasty in the workshop often too

conversation in Khuzdul between Celebrimbor and Narvi, probably c. SA 1400
Blehhhhhhhhhhhh [celebrimbor falls face-first onto bed]
Whats wrong dumbass (affectionate)
Annatar and I were doing some Valarin-
[Narvi is pretending to assume this is a euphemism for comedic effect] Finally! Is he any good?
??? ... ! no, I mean, linguistics-
[this joke relies on English but shhhh] Oh does he have one of those? Are you any good?
[blushing hard enough to steam] Translations from Valarin to Quenya
Lololololololol ok why does translating with your evil boyfriend have you yelling into my pillow
It’s just making it harder to ignore the evil part
Are his translations… evil?
… ok so for example, there’s this word in valarin that the amanyar translate as “light.” It has a lot of connotations, it also suggests both power and music, but we use “light” as shorthand - if you say to a Vanya “the light of the Powers” they know you���re referring to that theological concept.
Ok, sure.
Annatar translated it as “melody.” Despite the availability of a standard translation, including a fairly common idiomatic expression that entered my native language from his.
Ah.
[gesticulating rather violently with the much-abused pillow] Which suggests! That he does not actually know about the state of the study of valarin among the amanyar! And that probably means he was not actually in the West during the years of the Trees!
Yeah that sucks. That benefit of the doubt is drawing pretty thin, huh
Honestly i think we’re out of his benefit of the doubt and cutting into my plausible deniability. The power of Elrond's "I told you so" is going to level a small town
#silvergifting#annatar#celebrimbor#narvi#this is for one of my silly aus but could be canon compliant if you try hard and believe in yourself

My HC is that Sauron is a bisexual but he mostly likes men and has only one queen he loves and that's Galadriel

I’m discussing That Scene (you know the face caress one) in ROP so trigger warning for torture, SA and abusive relationship stuff abound.
I go really back and forth on whether Sauron would have handed Celebrimbor over to the orcs to, lets be blunt, be gang raped but I really don’t think he wants to :vomit: share.
(Some of it might be something like genuine sincere not wanting to do that/care as well in so much as Sauron can/believes his own bullshit but it’s about possession, about intimacy. About how Celebrimbor is his to mark, to have)
(Which like, I don’t go for abusive Angbang but when it is I think that might have been part of Melkors thing - like no, only I get to hurt him I hurt him because I love him).
(I think Sauron may well have made him watch others though which :////).
#tv: rings of power#ask me how i know this or actually don’t#but a lot of the time they (abusers) will have a story they tell you/themselves#and they may actually believe it#‘if you’d just do what i want then i wouldn’t have to do this’#abuse cw#i didn’t tag this more because uh i am very scared to bother people#au: golden cage#silvergifting

and of course now I've been thinking about A Major Diplomatic Incident a lot, so I wrote some more:
“I don’t even know if he has one, he’s just not very affectionate in general,” he explained. Tar-Glóriel was not dissuaded. “We can fix him,” he assured Elrond. “Maybe we can kidnap him! People are always more affectionate after some classic isolation treatment.” Elrond almost laughed. “I think Celebrimbor was saying to me not twenty minutes ago that you have been entirely forbidden from starting a war with Lindon. Is that not so?” At this, Celebrimbor could no longer restrain himself. He had to ask: “Wait, who - are you talking about Gil-Galad?” The judgement in his voice did not feel fair to Elrond, but he admitted it anyway, because Celebrimbor’s guess was, in fact, correct. Celebrimbor looked, in another perfect symmetry, exactly as baffled about the choices of Elrond’s heart as vice versa.
#gem writes#a major diplomatic incident#aran morinorea#elrond peredhel#silvergifting#i did have to make Decisions about gil#because here he was being portrayed as a dick but elsewhere in the au he was significantly chiller and i had to pick#i picked 'he seems like a dick but he's extra awkward in private with you#because he's comfortable enough to stop masking not because he hates you'#'youre fine elrond dont worry'#and tyelpe doesnt like gil bc he's unnervingly Normal (not comfortable enough with him to stop masking)#(and also Really Good at masking)#but tyelpe absolutely cannot be rude to him bc everyone else would take it as an excuse to reopen the succession argument#and that would simply be Such a Fuss#so they awkwardly tolerate each other when they have to be in the same room <3#augh im like an hour late for dinner

Trop!Silvergifting AU when Celebrimbor is founding Eregion, Annatar shows up saying that he'll aid them in building their great city while he's recovering from the war and Silvergifting happens. Then Annatar pretends to be called back to Valinor but goes to raise his armies, Sauron is active until Adar kills him. Then Sauron disguises himself as Halbrand and TRoP starts as it normally does, only Tyelpe thinks there's something weird about Halbrand and Sauron has just turned up at his ex's house in the Maia equivalent of dying your hair and growing a beard.
Celebrimbor thinks Halbrand is endearing but isn't sure why. Sauron is tearing out his hair from the stress and is kind of offended that Tyelpe is responding to his advances when they only broke up 200 years ago.
#mairon would be mad if tyelpe wasnt into it. but hes also mad bc tyelpe is just out of a relationship he shouldnt be flirting with humans.#is mairon going to stop flirting with Celebrimbor? no. dont suggest it.#silvergifting#trop#Celebrimbor#annatar#mairon#sauron#tyelpe#telperinquar#silmarillion#rings of power#time reversal au#i guess.
