I just finished Sansûkh and IT’S PERFECT. I HAVE LAUGHED, CRYED, I HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO A BUMBLING MESS BY THE ABSOLUTE AWESOMENESS OF YOUR STORY. IT’S PERFECT. I LOVE IT. 100% WOULD RECOMMEND. AMAZING. I AM SPEECHLESS AND ALL THE COMPLIMENTS I WISHED TO DROWN YOU IN HAVE LEFT MY MIND TO LEAVE ONLY JOY BROUGHT TO ME BY YOUR PERFECT STORY. SORRY I CAN’T LEAVE A BETTER COMMENT BUT I AM A DISASTER OF HUMAN BEING EASILY OVER EXCITED. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU, A STORY SO GOOD IT’S HARD TO FIND

ME @ YOU

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH, NONNIE! I AM OVER THE MOON THAT YOU ENJOYED IT SO!

I’m rlly hyped for the next few chapters of sansukh bc I know eventually were gonna get that sweet sweet kiliel reunion (also bagginshield like fuck yeah) Anyway I hope u have a nice day ty for your time

yes indeedy, all those reunions are most def happening! Thank you Nonnie *hugs*

(i guess that some people are still confused as to how I am gonna sort that bagginshield reunion, BUT IT IS HAPPENING. In fact, all the pieces have now been laid in place!)

I once read that Dame Judi Dench embroiders cushions with curse words and ‘fuck offs’ and the such on set. I mention this for this reason: I know that in the Halls ever Dwarf is back to their prime, and I know Hrera would never, actually, embroider curse words. But in my mind, Judi Dench is Hrera mostly because of that. Picture Dame Judi Dench dressed as she was in Pride and Prejudice dutifully embroidering cushions with ‘FUCK OFF YOU PEASANT’ or something of the sort. Hrera.

omg

Honestly, I can see Hrera embroidering something perfectly genteel and appropriate… on the outside. Nobody would see anything else, really. 

(however, if anyone ever went to the effort of unpicking all of those neat, tight stitches, in exactly the right order, the words ‘GO SIT ON A PICKAXE YOU LITTLE TURD’ might somehow emerge from the patterns and colours…)

stabbing a cushion several hundred-thousand times sounds like a good way to burn off your initial aggro :)))

I’ve just decided that exams season is a great time to reread Sansûkh because of reasons and I want to thank you. It is probably the best fic I’ve ever read and it always manages to makes me laugh (and suffer and suffer and suffer). Also I did not realize in my first go how much I love Baris so that’s time well spend. My musician genius lesbian daughter deserve to be remembered. And I had forgoten that Dain managed to take a pig to the afterlife which is inexcusable, Im ashamed of myself.

Same anon that just send you a thank you for Sansûkh and talked about Baris and Dain. I forgot to say thanks for implying OT3 with Sam, Frodo and Rosie and Frerin, Faramir and Eowyn, the last one I would have never imagined but I love it. Like anyone in the Leverage fandom I’m completely sold on OT3 and there are not enough people who understand that Sam’s devotion to Frodo doesn’t compete with Rosie. Why do you need a love triangle when Rosie, Sam and Frodo can take care all of each other?


slhdfgljahga NONNIE ❤ Thank you, lovely!

I am a fan of OT3s, yessir! And I am so SO SOOOO glad you love Baris, she is my delightful shy clever gay daughter and I love her so so much, it utterly makes my day when ppl take her to their hearts too! 

Dain’s never-the-same afterlife pigs are my favourite unexplained mystery, tbh. I cannot explain them, and I dont honestly want to either. I like that it’s a big ???? – how they are a sweet ole sow one second or a lil piglet the next, or a giant hairy boar the day after that. They are inexplicable… the inexplicable pigs!

Hey you haven’t been around for a while, everything alright?

yeah, just hot and tired and lacking in energy. I’m now 8 months pregnant, and urgh SUMMER IN AUSTRALIA. *suffers a sweltery humid death* Sorry for being a flake. Up-front, I don’t expect I will be any more reliable until after this bub has arrived, tbh. I am hermit-ising like whoa.

Also, if I can be frank, with my emotional (read: hormonal, GAHHHH) walls this thin and volatile, tumblr is just not a great place to be, honestly. There is so much outrage-porn and anger and the like, and I can’t handle it all the way I normally would. I can barely handle the news at the moment, even. 

I am a bit of a wuss rn. Again, sorry. *sheepish look*

i know this is almost def not gonna happen in sansukh, but i love the idea of the feanorian tauriel discussion being an actual thing; like she’s looking for the dwarves, so who better to ask than famous dwarf-friend celebrimbor? so there’s a ginger elf wandering around asking after celebrimbor, and when the feanorians hear about this (or at least the noldor royal family, who didn’t kill that many other elves and were probs reembodied) they naturally think tauriel is celebrimbor’s secret child–

–and are super excited to meet a new relative (this one didn’t even kill any other elves!). celebrimbor is very very confused. the noldor are very welcoming to tauriel, and really interested in getting to know her. tauriel is completely oblivious, and thinks the noldor are just weirdly helpful.


Nonnie, yes you are right – that is not happening in Sansukh, sorry for disappointment… but why the heck does that mean it won’t exist?? Go write it! This is a great premise and I love the idea and I would read the heck out of it! GO WRITE YOUR IDEA INTO THE WORLD, MAKE IT INTO A THING! Love it and name it and dive, dive, dive into it!! 

Bless your TLJ thoughts! I’ve been seeing a lot of strong emotions towards the Rose/Finn kiss, but, come on people! Who among us wouldn’t have FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HOW AMAZING FINN IS? 100% relate with Rose on everything tbh? She lived the dream to a point it almost felt meta and like I would have legit thought about Star Trek OG Mary Sue but done for real if she had died. But also, how Finn seemed as blindsided by that kiss,he wasn’t on the same level at all and that’s okay. 3rd film? who knows!

lmao you bring up a fair point bc everyone SHOULD be in love w Finn, this is a completely valid argument

People get v passionate, and that’s cool, as long as there’s nobody being hurt. I will remain confused and unconvinced about it, for now… Still, you’re right, we’ll see what the next one brings! 

(MAYBE??? some more Dead Cackling Force Arsonist. Yoda was suitably cryptic, mystic, hypocritical, and also hysterical, he is my fave contradictory space goblin. Him arguing with Luke is still Perfection. Too bad there was no Force Ghost Ewan McGregor tho!)

This is the TLJ anon… I understand why you’d rather not go there; it’s a bit of a hot topic rn :) But I agree with you on the Finn & Rose sideplot and pasted-on romance – basically WTF and bad writing. And yes, the film Where Everybody Fucks Up, including the scriptwriters and the director… it had its moments, but also so so much wasted opportunity.

oh what the hell, tagrant wasn’t exactly discreet so yeah have some more opinion 

*winces and flinches back, bc I am NOT ready for the onslaught*

I mean, I liked the casino idea, that was cool? and the freeing-of-the-weirdly-Ghibli-looking-racing-critters… and I LOVE Rose, like, she is awesome, I love the hints of her backstory and how ANGRY AT THE FIRST ORDER she is, and her amazing sister and ANGSTTTTT and how goddamn beautiful she is and she is just. Amazing. I love her, 11/10.

Finn continues to be AMAZING AND PERFECT ALSO – I love how he is absolutely 1000% committed to protecting Rey and he will do absolutely anything, no matter how dangerous and crazy. Finn’s loyalty to the folks he cares about is just. it’s incredible. It’s so strong it outperforms gravity. Sneaking onto Starkiller, now sneaking onto Snoke’s ship… and then the goddamn salt skimmer thing, like. um, Finn my buddy my mate, you have no sense of self preservation and you would probably give your last breath for your friends, and just. ILU forever you glorious space unicorn

But yeah, just speaking for myself I wasn’t feeling any romance between him and Rose… I WANT epic romance for him, too, so that was ??? The kiss took me by total, complete surprise. By that point I was all, ‘THEY ARE NOW RIDE-OR-DIE BESTIES, ROSE WILL 10000% BE FINN’S BEST LADY WHEN HE MARRIES POE AND REY’ – so yeah, to me the kiss was… wtf was that, where did that come from…

Luke broke me bc he literally lives only for the Drama, he is truly the son of Anakin “I’m Too Extra For My Arms” Skywalker i stg

every instance of Leia using the Force or sensing something through the Force made me wibble with joy and Feelings Too Great To Name

and too, I was confused by that weird lampshading thing happening with General Holdo and Poe, that made me tip my head and go, ‘am I supposed to be angry on her behalf? or Poe’s behalf? Something something something? bc all I can see is misinformation and misleading assumptions on both sides of that kerfuffle, everyone is acting like they are the only solitary single one who knows anything/can fix anything, AND PEOPLE THIS IS MEANT TO BE A TEAM EFFORT… and now a fuckton of people are dead. Again.‘ 

I love the Porgs, I want one, I would call it Meep and it would be my interstellar snuggles-and-panic machine

so yeah, there’s some more of my impressions, they are weirdly half-formed and incoherent but they are mine, sorry if I piss people off
