I just saw the ask where you said Laindawar will make friend in the mountain, and I can’t wait to see it! Of course, since my brain’s supposed to be focused on Nano, it’s instead been focused on trying to figure out who his unlikely friend is. Currently, my guesses revolve around Orla or Dwalin (warlike dwarves & warlike elf), Barur (winning someone over through food is a good technique) & Gimris (if Laindawar ever discovers chill anyway). Anyway, I really love your fic & the sneak peek was cute

EEEE THOSE ARE ALL REALLY GOOD GUESSES… but I must disappoint, sorry! Not gonna be any of them.

Good luck with Nano! I WISH YOU ENDLESS INSPIRATION AND STRENGTH TO YOUR TYPING/WRITING 

Hi! I am absolutely in love with Sansukh. It’s actually ruined me for most novels because I keep comparing them to your work :D I was wondering if it’d be okay, when you’ve finished writing all the chapters, if I printed it out? I’d like to have a solid copy so I can read it even when my internet is working. If not it’s fine! I mainly just wanted to tell you that I think you are an absolutely amazing writer and that I will reread Sansukh till I die.

OH MY GOD NONNIE I AM HONESTLY SPEECHLESS HOLY HECKEROONIE

yes, of course! I would be delighted – thank you SO SO SO MUCH, oh sweet mercy I am so bowled over by this ask I CAN’T EVEN TELL YOU – you are a gem and a treasure and THANK YOU SO MUCH…!!

Hi! So I’ve never actually reached out to a fanfic author before (because shyness) but I just really want to say how much I love Sansukh – on my third re-reading! I especially love how you have dealt with Fili; your approach to people realising how much potential he had but never got to achieve is so well done. Just wondering if we’re going to get more between Thorin and his nephews? (for example, how do they feel about Thorin’s relationship with Gimli – any jealousy when he calls him ‘son’?)

AHHH THANK YOU NONNIE! I am stunned and stoked that you enjoy it so much! And eeee, yes, I’m so glad you like Fili’s trajectory in the fic! He is my Golden son, my word yes. He’s come SO FAR.

There’ll be some more! But at this stage I think it will be interactions in combination with other characters… not entirely sure! *cough*DIS*coughcough*FRERIN*cough*

Oooh, I’ve covered a bit of that in the story through their reactions etc: They’re not jealous, no way. Really early on, they saw that Gimli was helping Thorin connect and re-centre himself. That’s a GOOD thing. 

Like, if someone close to you is self destructive and imploding slowly, and you personally are not the one that gets through and helps them (despite trying or whatever), it doesn’t really make sense to be jealous of the person that does. You’re relieved and happy that the one close to you is doing better. 

Thorin has a special name for his nephews: they are his Undayûy. It means ‘greatest boys’. They are special to him in ways that Gimli can’t replace (and vice-versa). Thorin will always feel protective and paternal towards them: he helped raise them. 

He’s not the primary parental figure to Fili and Kili – Dis is and always will be THE parental figure – but he is absolutely one of the most formative pillars of their lives, is there for them, teaches them, cares for them. He loves them unconditionally. 

At first, Gimli was a touchstone for Thorin, he’s been a way back to the world and to life. That’s an entirely different thing, and he loves Gimli for it in a different way. I love my students entirely and with all my heart, I’ve watched them grow up and change and learn and BECOME, and I am stupendously proud of them. But I don’t love them exactly the way I love my niblings. 

Too, much like a teacher-student relationship after a long long time, Thorin and Gimli are moving slowly towards a friendship of equals now. 

Thorin has a gigantic damn heart. There’s a lot of love there for a lot of people. 

(PLUS Fee and Kee love Gimli too. They were playfellows and friends as children, and he helped their uncle AND their mother. They’re all ‘AW YEAH GO GIMMERS!!!’)

So I’m facing my second loss of an immediate family member in a year, this time my mother. And I just- I don’t know if I can do it. I don’t mean to put anything on you, because God knows how much you’ve already done for me and the other fans, but. If, like, if you don’t have a million other things to do and you feel inclined, could you record yourself singing “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” my mom used to sing it to me when I was little, and now I’m faced with her never being able to do so again

I am so so sorry. My every good thought is with you and your loved ones. I hope you’re together as often as you can be. I hope time is kind. I hope people are kind. I wish you and your family all the strength and support in the world. 

Here you are. 

This is really random, but who are Wee Thorin’s parents? I seem to have forgotten and I couldn’t find where it was stated

Hey! No worries – massive cast, after all! Here’s the character list, though I haven’t read over it/checked it in a while. It gives you all the characters and their relationships to each other.

Wee Thorin is the first child of Dwalin and Orla. He’s the equivalent of a human 13 or 14 year old. He was dubbed ‘Wee Thorin’ at his birth, and despite being quite a large and husky lad, he SIMPLY CANNOT shake the name! He has two younger brothers – Balin (”Balinith”, approx 8 in human terms) and Frerin (”Frerinith’, approx 3-4 in human terms). 

His very best friend is Gimizh, the son of Bofur and Gimris (Gimli’s nephew, the cookie-stealing Terror of Erebor).
