Listening to cradle song gave me shivers. Like whoa. Major props for influencing emotions with slightly eerie but beautiful music

asdkjgflajhgfalh THANK YOU.

I’m not a very polished composer, tbh. But I do enjoy it. I’m really happy people are liking the song!

(my fave bit in that is the dissonance in the final verse, I was so happy when that turned out so well!)

I log onto tumblr to hear the wails of the fallen. “A chapter has been posted,” I whisper, with rising levels of dread and eagerness. I approach AO3 with wary confidence. I am ready. I WASN’T READY!!!!!

Have a Custard.

SORRY NONNIE.

Thrain and Nain being massively drunk and just soppily going on about how proud they are of their kids. It’s endearing, once you get past the ale reek.

AUGH CUTIES. YES.

If the Jenolan Caves is the image for Gimlin-Zaram, can Lake Louise (in Alberta, Canada) be the place!claim (instead of face!claim) for Mirrormere?

I just looked that up AND WHOA I AM SOLD WOW

But how long is the kissing competition gonna continue??? Is Aragorn gonna get back from the houses of healing and find them STILL at it and be 300% more done? (tbh Aragorn being DONE WITH UR SHIT gives me life)

Rest of Gimli’s life probably – OH LOOK I FOUND SOME MORE PAIN

Aragorn is going to eternally headdesk into his happy-ever-after. He needs to add yet ANOTHER title, to be honest: Aragorn, Elessar, Estel of the Dunedain, the Elfstone, Envinyatar the Renewer, Thorongil, Strider, Wingfoot of the House of Telcontar and the line of Isildur Elendil’s Son, Third Wheel and Fed-Up with Elves and Dwarves, Thank You Very Much.

holy shit i looked up tolkien wordcounts and sansukh? is longer than actual books in the lotr series. the fellowship of the ring is only like 188k. the entire trilogy is 481k. first of all thank the valar for impeccably written longfic, second of all are you a wizard

*hides pointy hat* Uh. No? ~~PUFF PRIDE REPRESENT~~

Ahhh, thank you! Yes, I have a sneaking suspicion it may end up longer than the trilogy… not sure, but it sure is creeping up there!

You make me excited for the dwarves to die because it means they get to join the peanut gallery and I’m conflicted about this

*pats your shoulder* I know. I know.

But Dain with all the people in the Halls!!!!! Frerin is probs going to have another inadequate-younger-brother fit. Balin and Dain are going to have an awkward “I don’t want to tell you I told you so” moment. Hrera descends in a fit of braiding and decides that Dain is even better in person. Nain and Daeris (and Gror + spouse) are fit to burst in (grand)parental pride.

(Heeeeee, I am looking forward to the Dain + Frerin moments. It’s going to be super cute, I hope you will like it! Frerin, for once, is going to be very very happy.)

LOL, Hrera trying to braid Dain’s hair and nearly screeching because he won’t stop making quips that cause her to lose her concentration.

Nain having a huge mutually proud heart-to-heart with Thrain (that ends in a beer – or twelve). Daeris Greyswords sparring with her son for the first time in over two centuries… and losing (well, he was just a little lad when she died).

Gror and Stera (who was a Guildmaster in the Iron Hills, she led the Healer’s Guild) fussing over him constantly – and Dain smiling and letting it happen because he’s missed it so. (Gror and Stera were the ones to care for Dain through his recuperation after he returned to the Iron Hills following Azanulbizar).

And Thror coming up to Dain and quietly thanking him for restoring his home and his life’s work to its former glory.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful 30th birthday present! My twin sister and I were so excited – not only Comes Around Again update but also Sansukh amazingness :) how did you know?

oh my goodness – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

you seem to be the authority – is there any gigolas kink out there in the world wide web?

Oh gosh, I am no authority. Just mentioning a thing I see and like about a lot of Gigolas fics.

I have some recs on my reclist!
