This was the freakin’ cutest and I would 110% attempt to make friends with Jeri the Precious Cinnamon Roll and maybe awkwardly ask on date at some point. “The Tale of Two Nonbinary Dwarves and Awkward Attempts of Flirting” yes that sounds perfect Jeri I think you’re gr8 u wanna go, uh, watch stars or, uh, something. Something.

(I am so glad you liked it, Nonnie!)

Oh my god, Jeri and small talk and dates and STARS, they are gonna be so so damn FLUSTERED, get them a glass of water omg

Since everybody is sharing their faves, I must say that while I love absolutely /everyone/, Gimris, Jeri and Narvi are my biggest loves. <3

EEEEE THANK YOUUUU omg thank you so so much!

I’ve done Gimris and Narvi, so here’s what Jeri would do, if you told them that they were your fave!

They’d probably trip over their own feet, frankly. And then they’d blurt, “really? Me? Really?” 

Then they’d absoLUTEly shout you a drink, and they’d try not to give big wide-eyed looks at you the whole time. But it would fail – a lot. Their eyes would keep steering over to you over their tankard, and they’d have to keep wrenching them back so they weren’t staring at you in happy dopey gratitude. 

And so, their aura of Terrible Competent Coolness would be punctured forever. 😉

Tbh my faves are Gimris and Balinith

AWWWWWWWWWW ❤ Thank you, lovely nonnie!!

Gimris would be all “Really? Well, there’s a thing! That’s terribly kind of you, you dinnae have to say such nice things – though if you said it in front of my Warg of a brother I’d be eternally grateful…”

Balinith would go a bit shy and bashful, I think. He’d stay close though, grinning to himself and hovering nearby, listening and learning. And when he finds his confidence again, welp! Prepare yourself to read every book, clarify all the words, listen to all the explanations, and also help with ALL the Important Experiments! You’ve been given the Balinith Seal of Approval 🙂

I’d like to put in a vote for Dis as the best. Yes, she’s canon, but Tolkien gave us NOTHING about her and you took that and RAN with it and I love the direction you chose for her.

(ahhh thank you, thank you SO MUCH nonnie! I deliberately steered her character away from the popular Dis-depiction that was common when I first began the story, and I am SO SO GLAD you like where I took her! It felt like the most risky choice ever, at the time!!)

Dis would probably say thank you too, thank you very much. She’d say it quietly, and baldly, and with an undercurrent of steely, sad dignity. 

TBH I’m at the point where it is sometimes difficult to write LOTR fic because I have to sit back and ask myself “Wait, is that character canon or are they a determamfidd OC?” See also: Vili, Hrera, Mizim, and various other assorted parents and spouses. And then I have to COME UP WITH my own OCs and they’re never as cool as yours.

YES THEY ARE – THEY ARE ENTIRELY AS COOL AS ANY ONE OF MINE, they are, promise and cross my heart, bc they came from your mind and imagination and love, and every character that comes from that place is 1000% amazing

(sorry if mine tend to be a bit on the pushy side…! I believe that ‘Vili’ has become a sort of fandom-wide accepted name, though 😀 )
