Weekly Fic Rec: Sansûkh

mintyships:

At 

426,107 words and 40 chapters and still ongoing Sansûkh is a beautifully written story where Thorin Oakenshield wakes up in the halls of his ancestors and is given a gift from his maker that makes it so he can talk to the living through their most sub conscious thoughts, some however hear him better then others and no one can hear him easier then Gimli. This story is absolutely wonderfully written and so heart breakingly sad at points but unbearably joyful at others that at times I am left both crying and laughing at the same time, no story has ever made me cry so much. I just had to rec this fic for the first week before any others because I have never read any others that struck so deeply as this and it isn’t even done!!!!! I imagine it will make me cry many more times before it is done with me. It is truly my favorite fanfiction and if I could have it as an actual book to carry around, though it would make quite a large one, I would carry it everywhere. I really implore anyone who is a LOTR fan and love dwarves (there is so much dwarf love!!! Dets really does their research!!) to read this, it is really worth the time it takes.

!!! OH MY GOD – thank you SO much, for the rec and for reading it and for your INCREDIBLY kind words! alshdgjlshssd *HUGS AND HUGS*

15-30 for the fic asks :)

15. What makes you pick up a fic, what makes it sound
interesting?

Summaries are really important because I need to be able to
know what the fic is about! A good tagging system is also helpful.  So many things will draw me in; if its a really
different AU, a troupe I’m in love with, or an author that I adore!

16. Name a fic that made you cry (or that made you come
close).

Wow, SO MANY! I cry semi-easily. The one that most recently
made me cry would be An Ode
to Broken Things

17. Name a fic that made you laugh a lot.

This question was surprisingly difficult, because I think a
lot of fics have so many funny elements? Especially bagginshield where Bilbo is
super snarky and Thorin is just a major dork!
