#silvergollum

Post canon AU where Celebrimbor makes Gollum a new ring. HEAR ME OUT, I think something like one of the Three could heal Gollum after his exposure to the One. Imagine Sauron and Celebrimbor got back together (after the messy torture divorce) in the Fourth Age and Celebrimbor learns about what the One did to Gollum. And he meets Gollum and sees the most raw parts of Annatar in the tangled shards that are left (reaching for what is admirable and wanting it in itself). (And maybe, just maybe, it’s the fact that Gollum got tortured by Sauron for the whereabouts of the One, and Celebrimbor unfortunately knows exactly what that is like). So Celebrimbor goes to his workshop every night and secretly works on creating something like nenya/vilya/varya. Once he succeeds, he finds Gollum and gifts it to him. Gollum is so happy that his ‘precious’ was returned to him. Since Celebrimbor and Sauron merged their craft to create the One and the Three, I think the One and the Three would share certain elements, certain features, that Gollum would recognize as the same. And it’s healing for everyone, except for Sauron, who throws a fit when he finds out.
