It feels like they are beginning again, only now they are both aware of it
YESSSSSSS THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS INTENDING, OH MY GOD, I JUST PUNCHED THE AIR – THANK YOU, THANK YOU NONNIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH
Ahhhh, the Houses of Healing is such an awesome chapter too! I am so stoked you liked my spin on it! IORETH FTW. And snarky Aragorn! YUS. *dances* Thank you, Nonnie!
first off this is 100% fact
second Gandalf should have just ran a middle earth dating show
omg new series on Bravo. please imagine the preview for it.
“This summer, we follow one eccentric wizard on his quest to make the most unlikely of matches happen. Middle Earth Match Maker”[cut to confessional type interviews for each character]
Gandalf: There’s just something about seeing two people fall in love when they never were expecting it. That’s the thing about me, I don’t have people come to me. I seek out the people who don’t think that they need it.
Legolas: I used to like this girl, a really long time ago. It took years to get over her. After that I never wanted to be with anyone again. My friend Aragorn helped to mellow me out, helped me to heal. I joined the fellowship with him, thinking that it would be something to help me even more. I guess I was still trying to find myself. I just never thought that I would find love again. Especially not in a stubborn red headed dwarf. [laughs nervously] I guess you could say I have a thing for red heads.
Gimli: Aye that smug bastard. Do you know the other day we went out looking for orcs, its a friday night tradition, and he swears he killed 12 but I know it was only 11 because one of them accidentally stabbed the other and that doesn’t count. Anyways, we just wanted to get our fun in before we head out.
Frodo: I never really saw myself with anyone, just wanted a simple life like this. Sam was always in my life, always my best friend. I just regret that it took our journey for me to realize it.
Sam:[smiles fondly]Yeah, I used to trim Frodo’s bush. Ummm, the one outside the window. His window. I used to garden for him and his uncle when his uncle got too old to be out in the sun all day. I never watched Frodo in his bedroom.
Thorin: I don’t want that sneaking old wizard taking credit for all of this! I would like to think that perhaps under other circumstances Bilbo and I could have met on our own.
Bilbo:[rolling his eyes] Thorin is a firm believer that if this was another life we would still know each other. I would like to think that too but he does have to admit that Gandalf does play some part in us meeting. Plus he’s still a little grumpy because I wouldn’t let him have any cookies last night after dinner. He’s gotten a little too pudgy and I might have to start letting out the seem on his pants.
Gandalf:
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I HAD TO GET THEM ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD THO LIKE
BILBO HAS EIGHTY YEARS TO CATCH UP ON
JUST HAD TOOOOOOO
Oh my GOSH HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I wish you everything wonderful, Nonnie! I hope it’s a wonderful day!
Ahhhh, my face is a truly alarming shade of red now, you are too kind, thank you so so much! I’m thrilled you enjoyed it!
HEHEHEHEH, and now I am remembering that line of Galadriel’s from ‘Farewell to Lorien’:
It is said that the skill of the Dwarves is in their hands rather than in their tongues, yet that is not true of Gimli.
Perhaps Legolas can attest to his skill with both
BILBO’S GONNA GET HIM A TALL DWARF DRINK TO QUENCH THAT THIRST
“Don’t use my metaphors against me,” Bilbo snapped in a tight voice, and he sniffled.
Unexpectedly, Thorin chuckled. “I had forgotten the way you do that. I have not seen that in so long.”
“Do what?”
“Your nose. It twitches when you sniff.” Thorin smiled at him. “I find it absurd, and absurdly charming.

Camellia, Chapter 38 of Sansûkh
“Camellia,” he said in a voice that felt sort of strangled.
Thorin nodded, blank-faced. Though if anything he blushed even harder.
“And do you know what-”
“Unpretending excellence,” Thorin said, awkward and halting. “Perfected loveliness.”
