Yours Faithfully – a Sansûkh Side-fic

To Dáin son of Náin, heir of the Lordship of the Iron Hills, from his cousin Thorin son of Thráin, Prince of Erebor, greetings…

One hundred and seventy-four years is a very long time.

(And who else is left that knows what it means, how it feels? To be a child and also a leader? To lose so very much and yet still go on, because the responsibility demands it of you? Who else is left, who understands just how heavy it is?)

Two very different but equally remarkable Dwarves learn to lean on each other in quiet, subtle ways.

And there is a pig called Petal.

(An early dain2k15 present for poplitealqueen​, who is amazing.)

ooh gosh, I have about 4.6K of a one-shot for Dain2k15 already. I just put my fingers on the keys and tappytappytappy

I’ve been pretty low for about two weeks and unable to face the idea of writing. I am guessing the dam just sprung a leak?

Prospective Roster for Dain2k15

poplitealqueen:

*At least one fan mix. Thank you 8tracks for giving me a place to put it.

*A Dáin friendly rec list. Because it gives me an excuse to go on determamfidd ’s reclist and read through a whole bunch. Plus getting to go on the tag on A03 *gulp*

*I’m gonna draw modern Dáin I have to. I want to see him in a t-shirt drinking coffee. Or tea. Whatever.

*Dare I think I can finish that Dáin and Stonehelm feels comic I’ve been wanting to? Dare. I?

*mundain headcanons up the wazoo.

*Maybe an Age Meme? That looks like fun and I wanna draw Kid!Dáin

*as many Dáin fanart reblogs as I can muster (one’s that are nice to him, of course).

*Wonder how much fanart I can pull off myself? Guess we’ll find out.

*Write a song maybe? Ehhhhhhhhhhh.

*I’m gonna draw Dáin’s death scene even if it kills me. Which it might.

*NÁIN, DÁIN, AND THE STONEHELM? MAYBE OOOH. I have ideas for Náin. Read: giant tusks somewhere.

*I wanna draw POC Dáin. Maybe I’ll do multiple ethnicity doodles? That could be funsies.

BRING ON JULY 19th

Dáin II Ironfoot Appreciation Week

ironhillsgarrison:

That’s right, you heard it here folks. July 19th through the 25th (US Central Time) will be a Dáin II Ironfoot Appreciation Week! All your fanarts, your fanfics, your fanvids, your meta, your 8tracks list, anything about this wonderful Dwarf gets its time to shine!

There’ll be a tag! dain2k15 (short, unique, and easy to remember) Tag stuff with it and I’ll do my best to reblog it. Things in the dain ironfoot appreciation society tag will also get reblogged, but that’s a general thing. Themes for art and fic may be forthcoming if people think that’ll be a good idea but otherwise, come the 19th go hog wild!
