13. Favorite fic from another author? 14. Your favorite side pairings to put in? 20. 4 sentences from your work that you’re proud of (or as many sentences as you want)

poplitealqueen:

13. Sansûkh by Determamfidd. Tbh I’ll probably be reccing that glorious fic long after its done. I’ll have kids years from now who will say, “Mommy, read us a bedtime story” and I’ll whip out Sansûkh and be like, “Thorin Oakenshield, King Under the Mountain, came awake with a sudden start and a strangled shout of alarm. It was utterly dark, and his shout echoed in the stifling blackness. He tried to blink his eyes, and found it made little difference.” and they’ll be like, “Not again!!” but that won’t stop me.

I like Sansûkh so much 1) because it is an amazing fic of epic proportions, well researched, well executed, the whole shebang, and 2) because the author is so damn nice. My god, Dets is a sweetheart. She’s the kind of person you gravitate towards just because she’s friendly and encouraging. She’s Person Goals, man. I think the ultra popularity of her fic stems not only from her talent, but from her personality as well. She’s approachable. You want to make her proud. Blah blah blah I’m going overboard now.

So I’m an unapologetic Sansûkh enthusiast for the rest of my days. Determamfidd enthusiast tbh because I trust any fandom in her hands. There’s my fave.

14. Somehow I ended up a diehard Rexobi shipper and I like to inject it into just about everything I write. I’m also pretty in love with Jessix, and Oooh Ahsoka and Barriss. What else… I’m still getting comfortable shipping OCs with canon characters, but in my secret lil draft cave I love doing that.

20. It isn’t posted yet, but Hämärä has some damn fantastic moments that I’m proud of. (Now I just need to work up the urge to post it without worrying my hands off that it isn’t as good as the glimmering gem of a fic I have in my head. Probably when Pulsion is finally done.)

***

The knowledge that it had all been a lie makes Rex tired rather than angry: the waste of so many lives, so many people, brothers and Umbarans alike, is too huge to really fit into his head.

Rex pulls his helmet off and sets it next to his outstretched leg. Warm, recycled air dances along his skin as he leans back against the cold bulkhead and allows the hum of the engines to vibrate through the back of his skull. Before he realizes it, his eyes are closed, and exhaustion tugs at him to sleep.

But he can’t.

It isn’t long before his eyes are open again, staring at nothing across the crew bay. That’s when Kenobi moves up beside him, so quietly that  Rex doesn’t even register his presence until the hem of the Jedi’s tunic brushes against his ear.

Rex hides his twitch of surprise. It’s a wonder how someone with so much strength can be so damned quiet sometimes.

“Sir,” he greets softly.

Silent, Kenobi remains standing near him, not quite touching, but closer than Rex had ever seen him get to someone that didn’t need rescuing on the battlefield. It’s some time before Kenobi speaks, his crisp, accented voice weighed down with weariness.

“Not even Geonosis was that bad of a muck up.”

ATTEMPTING NOT TO CRY

ATTEMPT HAS FAILED

*clings* god, you are beautiful, I honestly. honestly. I can’t possibly be more grateful than this. I may have to expel some vital organ to make room for this massive bubbling tidal wave of utter gratitude. what did I ever do to deserve a beautiful friend like you omg

and that SNEAK PEEK, dearest effing lord, I am sinking into that POV and I’m not even familiar with the character!! AHHH IT IS SO PERFECTLY FORMAL AND BRISKLY MILITARY WITH ITS PRECISION AND ATTENTION TO FINE DETAIL AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTION?? and yet SO PERSONAL AND RICH AND INDIVIDUAL??? hot dang I am into this so haaaarrrd

Did you know you’ve already out written the original trilogy word count? All three LOTR books: 455,125 words. You: 518,318. You’ll most likely reach The LOTR trilogy plus the Hobbit at 550,147 words with the last four chapters, but I say aim high, out do that and the Silmarillion and write more than 680,262 words! We’re not ready to lose you and your lovely world yet!

…holy shit I beat it?? really???

cripes, I am a wordy blabbery piece of work. Brevity, I do not know thee. 

Hmm. Considering that my chapters atm are averaging around 13-16K (let’s call it 16K to be on the safe side), then that means I probably have 64K left, at the most. 

A lot can happen in 64K 😉

there’s also currently 98K in the Appendices WELP

Ficlet: A Better Game

gimleafanatic:

Summary:  After waking up in a compromising position with no memory of how they got there, Legolas and Gimli interview their friends to find out what happened, and come to the conclusion that drinking games are overrated.  (humor, minor angst, sexual references)

Rating:  Mature

LINK:  http://archiveofourown.org/collections/1000GigolasFics/works/7147358

This ficlet responds to a prompt in The Thousand Gigolas Fics on AO3 Challenge!  http://archiveofourown.org/collections/1000GigolasFics

Prompt:  Legolas and Gimli wake up together in a bed in Minas Tirith, hung over and stark naked, with no memory of the previous 18 hours. What happened last night? How will they find out? It’s up to the author. Bonus points if they aren’t in an established relationship… yet.

lacefedora:

I promised @determamfidd that I would record something at full volume the next time I had the opportunity. So I recorded her two songs. she picked this one. I’ll decide weather or not I want to put the other up later.

I love this song, it reminds me of Good Omens (angels dining at the ritz lol)

OH GOD LACE

THIS IS GORGEOUS, oh wow – you have such a silky, classic jazz style!!! Lovely open vowels, great tone and awesome diction… alkdsflajsgfakjdkajhfda BEAUTIFUL – thank you so so so much for sharing this! 

*runs to listen again*

My absolute favourite fanfics ever

oakwyrm:

So I decided to make a list of all of my favourite, and by this I my Favourite with a capital “F”, fanfics in existence. Atm it’s a short list but who knows. There are going to be multiple fandoms, just saying.

Tolkien

Sansûkh written by the absolutely fantastic @determamfidd

“The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin’s line with bright red hair.

(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).”

Holy hell I can not recommend this fanfic enough. Gorgeous poems, writing that manages to be completely heart wrenching but hilarious at the same time, safe for Dáin fans… Gigolas and Bagginshield fans are likely to adore this one. It also features varied and super epic OCs that make sense in the world around them. If you haven’t read it already I highly recommend you do.

Bonus: the author is really super nice.

Haikyuu!!

Gold Star, Ash Sky written by @bigspoonnoya

“Hinata Shouyou dreams of becoming a samurai, but there’s a problem: he can’t kill a dragon.”

OK so I only recently actually started reading this absolute literary masterpiece, despite seeing it around and I immediately regret not reading it before. The story is gripping, characters seem natural and it. has. dragons! Need I say more?

If you’re a fan of Haikyuu!! and HTTYD this is possibly the best way the two could have come together. The blend is so freaking natural, becoming something new and amazing. The pairing in this… or, at least, the ones that have been confirmed (there are some others that I’m side-eyeing) are KageHina, DaiSuga, AsaNoya and IwaOi.

AHHH

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

A tiny Thorin Stonehelm and Dain drabble for you <3

quadrupedum:

determamfidd:

Dain approached a state of wakefulness, brought about by a happy mumbling near his feet in a childish voice. As sensory awareness returned to him, he noticed two things – firstly, that the spot next to him in bed was cold and empty, and secondly, that the small lump near his feet was, in fact, his offspring. Which meant that Thira had gone to work early, despite it being a rest day, and Thorin had wandered into his parents’ bedroom to play. The helpful (and helpfully quiet) servants would have already have fed his lad, but he still liked being near his parents when he could.

Dain cracked an eye open to see Thorin happily pushing his stuffed pig around on the base of the bed, his Thorin toy perched upon it in haphazard state. His son was happily burbling as he pushed his toy around, and Dain’s cousin-toy was moving around to a steady stream of toddlerish “da-da-doom, do-da-da, da-doom-hish.” When Dain’s foot twitched, his son looked up at him, his toy stilling. He grinned when he saw that Dain was awake.

“Da!” he crowed, and began crawling steadily up the bed, toys in hand. The determined expression in his eyes was belied by his rumpled bedclothes, tousled hair, and the touch of dried drool in the corner of his mouth.

Overall, an adorable combination. And Dain wasn’t biased at all, thank you very much.

Thorin finally achieved his goal of reaching his father, and cuddled into Dain’s arms, sticking his head into his father’s beard.

“And a good morning to you, little badger. Did you sleep well?”

“Yes,” came the piping reply, rather muffled by the beard. “Ate a whole cake.”

“A whole cake?” Dain asked, feigning shock. “That means you don’t get any cake while you’re awake for a whole week! Big boys twelve years old should know not to eat too much cake all at once, even if they are asleep.”

Thorin poked his head out of Dain’s beard, pouting slightly. “No cake? I tell Ma about boiled candies. Then we talk.”

Dain tickled his son’s pudgy little tummy, making his lad squeal. “There’s my smart boy. You’re going to be a master diplomat someday, with ideas like that.”  Thorin smacked Dain in the eye with his pig toy as he laughed. “And an excellent warrior,” Dain added, removing one of his hands to feel at his eye. No bleeding, but it would just might bruise.

eeeeeee @kailthia!!!!

lasdkgfashdfsal oh my god adorableeeee. Dain the sneaker of boiled lollies. The Thorin toy! the crawling up the bed! LITTLE BADGER. is not determinedly cuddling her own lil Dwarfling or anything

OH MY GOD 

I LOVE YOU, I LOVE IT

How did I MISS THIS AHHHHH my heart has gone all soft and melty from the sheer ADORABLE. When @quadrupedum and @kailthia combine forces, folks!!
