Making a Villain - The problem with Showing Sauron

Sauron is an interesting antagonist. If you compare him to the modern antagonists, Thanos, Hannibal Lector, Anton Chigurh, Freddie Kruger, Darth Vadar, Itachi, the main difference is that we never really see Sauron. The most we see him in the movies is when he fights against the combined elves and humans and Isildur. But that's in the first movie. From there on, for a combined three hours that's the last we see of him. In the books, I can't remember a description of him beyond the lidless eye. 

I couldn't find the artist for the image, so if you know please post it below and I can credit it properly.

Villain - Not A Love Story by aedilhaifawad

You could say he was a villain. A permanent frown is glued to his features, it never seems to slip from his looks. The only time his expressions seem to change is when he sees someone in love. His frown turns into hate, utter hate for this emotion that does nothing to help you. He doesn't seem to get why would anyone want this emotion, why people would go for miles for love. Either for their families or their significant other, people go crazy. Now, he'll shake his head at all signs even though he was one of them as well. But now, his tongue is crisp, fresh with words that kill and a smile not too far. Happiness is a limited thing, a temporary emotion - but he'll shorten it. Why would anyone need love? He was one of them as well - now watch him as a villain.

Set in Stone - Haldir's Story - by SparklinJazzlin

"The Lord of Lorien looked at his wife - her thoughts were hidden behind her smooth, shimmering face. For once he could not guess what she was thinking. 'Galadriel - you have foreseen the brothers' death should they return to Mirkwood. But you know as well as I do that keeping them here might only extend their lifespan for perhaps a few hundreds of years, if at all. Dark times are coming, you can feel it. The chances are they will never see the Undying Lands in the West.' - The Lady of the Golden Wood looked right through him. 'One must never give up hope.'" When Haldir of Mirkwood and his brothers Rumil and Orophin are sent to deliver a message to Lothlórien, he expected to return within a mere couple of weeks' time. Yet the plans of the Lady are different and before he can turn around he is trapped in a forest completely different to the one he has grown up in. Adding to his confusion is the young elf Daera (pronounced: DaEra) who is clearly interested in Haldir yet she still has to fight her own demons. And her time to pick sides is running out... This story is set before and during the actions of The Hobbit and The War of the Rings. I might publish this story in GERMAN as well, so German readers, keep you eyes peeled!

The Tears of Valar I Sauron/Halbrand by anerina777

I do not own The Hobbit, LOTR or trop. "A story goes, there was once a girl, so beautiful and full of light, that not even Morgoths wrath could blinde her mind. They say she was brought to Utumno, where Morgoth hoped to twist her mind and make her his slave, yet the girl did not let him. Some say Morgoth got tired of her strenght, and so he killed her, the elves, however, belive that she was so light she became a star in the night sky." Galadriel said to the company traveling with her as she looked up at the statue of a woman, the only thing not poisoned by the darkness in this place. Sauron/Halbrand x OC

Greenleaf (Legolas x Aragorn) by kpplwk

𝗔𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝘅 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘀 "Blood and lives were getting lost but none lost their courage. Despite the violent atrocity that had unfolded months earlier, beautiful moments emerged, and some would argue that they made the struggle worthwhile. Despite how Saruman's powers currently used it, the forest remained graceful. Sun shone through the leaves and lightened a specific spot of the battlefield. There stood Aragorn and Legolas. They both fought with great reasons haunting their minds. Over the ages, the cruelty of their surroundings eroded many people's faith. However, as Aragorn and Legolas fought side by side, something greater rekindled their trust in destiny." Chapter XVII *** King Aragorn and Prince Legolas haven't spoken to each other since their last encounter went wrong. But a new great evil threatens Middle Earth and they find themselves in the same team again. Together they have a power that no other equals but what they fight happens to be bigger than expected and keeps challenging their love. *AU

Do We Let Them Stand Alone? by JenikaFoust

Galadriel has seen more war in five years than most would experience in a lifetime. She and her brother, Finrod, commanded the Great War's most elite death squad: the Loriens. Together they completed untold thousands of missions, destroying some of the Enemy's most valuable strongholds and weapons. In the last crucial battle of the War, Finrod was killed by Sauron, an Enemy lieutenant of reputed cruelty on and off the battlefield. Morgoth was killed in the same battle, and the Loriens were sent home. Galadriel and her commandos were expected to re-assimilate with the civilian population. Galadriel has struggled to adapt for months; but with her brother gone and so many of the Enemy soldiers, including Sauron, at large, how can she put down the weapons that have kept her safe for so long? Halbrand finally makes his way north to take refuge in the great city of Lindon, where a chance encounter with a half-elf lord puts him directly into the path of Galadriel. He's done fighting. It's time to atone for his misdeeds. If his identity is exposed, can he make the person who matters most to him understand? The two journey to the Southlands, where an orc father is pursuing a secret of his own. What is Adar hunting? That's a lot of very dramatic questions for a single description. All that cinematic fluff aside, I hope you'll take a look at my original fiction piece, as it has cost me many brain cells and many hours of sleep. #2 in haladriel #11 in ringsofpower trying to get in the top 100 of the lordoftherings tag but I keep topping out really close to 100...one day...
