Fic Rec
So, at long last my beloved @arrogantemu has completed the Sauron-redemption fic we’ve been working on this past year. If you have ever wanted, or thought you might be willing to take a look at, such a thing, I promise you will not regret it. Painful reconciliations! Awkward conversations! Sauron having to talk to his mother in law!
It’s everything you could ever want in such a fic, I promise. ^_^
