Fics like An Intoxicating Presence

The moment his sentence was handed down – Halbrand “Sauron” Maia, guilty, life plus 30 years — brought up on RICO charges, 14-counts of conspiracy to commit murder and racketeering. It would have been a death sentence to anyone else. Hell, moments after the verdict was read in a federal courthouse in Brooklyn, hundreds of his supporters stormed the building, overturned furniture, a wave of riots in the streets, smashing cars and storefront windows, violently being forced back by police reinforcements. But the moment of his sentencing? His green eyes had cut to hers — unflinching, direct. He’d looked across the crowded courthouse directly to the person who’d landed him in prison, and he hadn’t looked angry either. Face stoic, not a glimpse of any hidden turmoil, not even one of accusation that he could have so easily aimed at her. She watched him get handcuffed and marched away, and he didn’t break eye-contact until he’d been physically forced to, turning away only when the guards paraded him out of the room to the sound of clicking cameras. It was real Alpha shit, Galadriel knew.
