Hi sorry to bother you but I’m looking for a fic and cannot find it. It’s a time travel fix it where gigolas (still not a couple) travel back with their own bodies and gimli joins the quest under another name though his father knows who he is. Can you help me?

Hey Nonnie – sounds like Two lives with you by dilcirisse, maybe. 

If this isn’t the one, you can try searching ‘Gimli/Legolas Time Travel’ in AO3, that will bring up a whole bunch of relevant stuff! 

i just wanted to let you know that you’re my role model and you’re amazing. much love <3

omg Nonnie, you’re waaaaaay too kind, tho I am super flattered ❤ thank you for the lovely compliment! Much love back at you. You’re the best you there is, or could ever be, and YOU are amazing. 

(my personal heroes are ppl like Carrie Fisher, Terry Pratchett, Mae Jemison and Ursula Le Guin and my nanna and heck, too many others to name 🙂

Re: the tag about Gimli’s dead Dwarf peanut gallery as Mulan’s ancestors, because the curiosity is KILLING me, how do you imagine the Dwarven version of ‘acupuncturists vs crossdressers’ would be over Gimli (and Kíli) being in love with an Elf?

Haban would absolUTELY be the one who says, ‘Don’t look at me, he gets it from YOUR side of the family!’ 

(she’s 110% right)

Fundin totally would have been the one who says, ‘MY children never caused such trouble; they both became civil servants, very respectable!’

Groin would have been the one bristling: “well, we can’t all be respectable!”

Aaaaaaand finally, Thror: “No. Your grandson had to be… a TREE-SHAGGER!”
