Of Convenience - Masterpost
(story tag on my blog: "Of Convenience")
Premise: Adar x Celebrimbor / silverscars canon divergence!AU. Political marriage trope. Celebrimbor flees Eregion after discovering that Annatar is not who he claims to be. This lands him in Adar's camp. The uruk proposes an unconventional solution to both of their problems - a political marriage. Celebrimbor accepts. Neither of them expect this to change the course of Middle-earth's history...or for them both to develop genuine feelings for each other in the process.
What started out as a one-shot based on my own little idea under one of my silverscars edits grew into a full-fledged multi-part fanfic when I couldn't stop writing. I wrote the entirety of the main fic (about 42k words) in 2.5 weeks as a result.
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5.1 / Part 5.2 / Part 6.1 / Part 6.2* / Part 7.1 / Part 7.2 / Part 8.1 / Part 8.2 / Part 9 / Part 10.1 / Part 10.2* / Part 10.3* / Part 10.4 / Part 11.1 (Epilogue)** / Part 11.2 (Epilogue)**
