Azhâr.

Thorin Oakenshield slowly wakes to the sounds of Bilbo and his nephews softly talking, colder and heavier than he has ever been in his life, but before he can get a word out Bilbo is punching him square on the nose. Quite rightly, as it turns out, because he’s been dead for a week and has just sat up in his tomb with no warning whatsoever.

Following the aftermath of the Battle of the Five Armies where Thorin must fight with his own guilt and mind over his choices and what they mean and meant, where he must decide whether or not to rule, and how to live with himself after dying. Focusing on many different characters and relationships, as well as building on the lore of Erebor and Middle Earth. A story about coming home.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

hi. I sent you an ask non-anoymously, and I think it got lost. but. I just wanted to thank you for writing sansukh and everything else. sometimes, when I needed it, they were a light in the darkness I found myself in, or a hand squeezed in mine, gently reminding me that I am not alone. I really needed that. Sometimes I still need that. So. A thousand times, thank you. I hope you actually get this. Also? The other day I saw a tumblr called mostlycatsmostly, and you’d probs like it. So much fluff.

Oh cripes, my heart, Nonnie. 

You’re right, sometimes we all need that. I do, god knows I do. I’m incredibly grateful and just SO glad that what I wrote could do that in some way for you. Thank you, thank you so so so much for telling me this, for reaching out to me and letting me know. 

*HUGS*

(ALSO I CHECKED OUT THAT TUMBLR AND I AM DROWNING IN PRETTY CATS OMFG THIS IS WONDERFUL)

Hey Dets, do you have a good list of fics where the dwarrow get the recognition they deserve/go off on a rant about how the other races of Middle Earth keep fucking them over? I’m getting some very strong feels about how they (Thorin esp.) got treated in canon. (Alternatively: AU where they actually got aid from folks after Smaug instead of run out of towns)

idk Nonnie, I am a super fan of Dwarves but I go searching for predominantly Gigolas or Good Guy!Dain fics, and so those are the reclists I keep 🙂

Gimli does go off on a rather dignified sort of rant in ch10 of Sansukh, if you’re jonesing really hard!

dets, has anyone ever written a lotr band au? if not thats ok, but please imagine gimli and legolas stuck in pit orchestra together for weeks, thorin and thranduil as band directors quarreling over varsity and junior varsity marching squads, dwarves as brass and elves as woodwinds / dwarves as big band, elves as orchestra. i am drunk,. hello. good bye

(me rn – and yeah, that is an apron)

i desperately DESPERATELY need a musical/musician gigolas au, I don’t mind admitting. I know shit about Band AU, bc I am a string player and a vocalist, so if it =/= orchestra or choir, i am a newborn baby deer. 

BUT I WOULD READ THE SHIT OUT OF ANY MUSICAL/MUSICIAN GIGOLAS AU, I DON’T MIND TELLING YOU

Orchestra Au w lead oboist Legolas and double-bass player Gimli? Gimme.

Choir Au with bass Gimli (the only one who can keep the others in tune dammit) and soloist tenor Legolas? Gimme.

String Quartet Au with First Violinist Legolas, Second Violinist Aragorn, Violist Eomer and Cellist Gimli?

Gimme. 

Barbershop Quartet Au with Bass Gimli and Lead Legolas? Gimme.

A capella Au, a nontet (9 singers) called ‘The Fellowship” GUESS WHO IS THE BARITONE, GUESS WHO SINGS TENOR

Classical soloist Au with opera countertenor Legolas and pianist (and company accompanist) Gimli? Gimme.

Stage Au with renowned bass-baritone Gimli and side-stage dresser Legolas? 

Gimme.

Heck, if anyone thinks that any of these are worth looking at/investigating, you are more than welcome to em, or stick them on the 1000 Fics Gigolas challenge. DO IT! MAKE ALL THE GIGOLAS HAPPEN. ALWAYS.  

I want all of this

I need a fic where Gimli and Legolas play bassoon and oboe respectively and the poor band director has to deal with the chaos in the double reeds (so many contests to see who can breathe the least!). But eventually they bond over reeds.

yesssss fucking perfection

I THOUGHT OF MORE

composer!Gimli and conductor!Legolas

Piano trio AU, where Aragorn is the pianist, Legolas is violin and Gimli is cellist, and we don’t agree on the tempo EVER

Opera!AU, where Legolas is a countertenor and Gimli is the bass (and Handel is a sadist)

Mozart Horn Concerto!AU where Gimli is the horn soloist and Legolas is the conductor and stop showing off you bloody brass-brained idiot

Lieder/art-song AU: we have a recital to put together in two weeks, I know I’m a baritone but can we please sing anything other than Schubert, Vaughan-Williams or Mahler PLEASE I’m begging you here (Legolas as the pianist ofc)

SWAP IT and Legolas as the tenor and Gimli as the pianist, and SHIT NO I WILL NOT BLOODY PLAY SCHUBERT’S ERLKONIG AT THAT HELLISH SPEED are you bonkers

String Quartet AU in which Cellist!Gimli will kill a man if they have to play Pachelbel’s Canon one more fucking time

ALL THE GIGOLAS MUSICIAN AUS. ALL OF THEM

Competitive conservatory students AU. They’re both gunning for first chair/concert master.

Gimli struggles with solfege, Legolas struggles with written theory. They tutor each other.

There’s only one one practice room available and they both think they deserve it more than the other.

Gimli is an education major and he’s studying Legolas’s instrument. And gets tutoring/assistance.

One is the singer. The other is the accompanist. They disagree on interpretation.

Gimli as the piano tuner all the other students look down on, until Legolas realizes how fucking talented Gimli’s ear is.

GLORIOUSSSS

i am in such need of these i stg, gimme gimme gimme

Composer!Gimli and singer!Legolas – bloody DO IT LIKE I WROTE IT

Jazz band AU: Saxophonist Gimli and lead singer Legolas – “Stop playing your fill or your punches OVER my melody, you jerk, they’re meant to go IN-BETWEEN THE PHRASES!!!” 

Opera AU: this is my worst language, I can’t fucking sing in this language, HELP ME or our big duet is ruined

renowned singing teacher Gimli giving a masterclass, holy shit that tall blond is one incredible baroque tenor why isn’t this guy singing the repertoire that fits him, why are they pushing him towards the heavy romantics????

We’re the Middle-Earth equivalent of the Three Tenors, known as the Three Hunters, and you keep on extending and extending and EXTENDING the rubato in the final verse of O Sole Mio you selfish prick, don’t you need to BREATHE

And don’t forget the piano piece for four hands….

*GASP*

YOU’RE A GENIUS
