*squishes your face* HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I ADORE YOU??? BC I DOOOOOOOOOOOOO
oh god pop I am still scouring AO3 i am still so screwed up by this movie, I need all the fixit fic, I need INTERPERSONAL BONDING AND GROWTH AND ANGSTY, GROWLY ROADTRIPS
I need Logan teaching Laura how to live out in the Canadian wilderness with all the enhanced senses and deep-in-the-blood stuff and ohgod Weapon X coming up in conversation and she gets it, how can she not
and i need Charles to read her ‘the Once and Future King’ and accidentally saying ‘groovy’ now and then instead of ‘fuck’ BECAUSE HE IS NOT DEAD EITHER DAMMIT
and Logan learning Spanish from Sesame Street and he is FINE AND DECIDEDLY NOT DYING, he teaches Laura to hunt and can’t explain to her why he calls everybody ‘bub’
(bc i firmly believe that he punched his way out of the ground like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill like, two weeks later)
sad knife dad and his tiny murderchild and their dotty brainweapon grandpa
i need it
OKAY THEN @ivoryandsalt BCI AM STILL THOROUGHLY BROKEN, SO YES I AM ON THE CASE HERE WE GO
Blood of My Pack by PAW_07 (WIP)
Logan doesn’t recover as quickly at the small clinic Laura dragged him to. It is just enough time for his half-brother to find him. Victor will help Jimmy if he wants the help or not. They are blood no matter how much they fight. Only problem is … he gets a feral niece with the packaged. Well, everyone is kind of feral in his pack, honestly.
Where the Wild Things Are (Donde Viven Los Monstruos) by aworldofmyimagination (WIP)
Fix-It Logan Road Trip AU. Featuring attempted snow camping, Logan doing his best to learn Spanish, and the long, long drive to Eden (with several pit-stops on the way).
Laura was perfectly happy with not wondering and keeping her eyes planted firmly on the path to Eden, but if she could ever look back and wonder, she would have believed in two possible outcomes: either they would all die, and the last of the mutants would die with her, or else they would all live, as Eden as their veritable sanctuary, where sunlight glimmered through tall trees and there were cool blue rivers where water always ran. (I LOVE THIS ONE, I AM WATCHING IT LIKE A HAWK)
You Are The Blood by menel (WIP – nearly finished)
Logan finally knew what it meant to die…except he didn’t.
A post-Logan fix-it. Full spoilers for the movie.
home is where love is by Enterprising (one-shot FLUFF)
It’s not easy, being on the road, but sometimes Logan’s able to give Laura the slice of apple pie life neither of them have ever had.
the bravest thing i ever did was survive (for you) by rredhoods (One-shot)
He would keep her safe; that would be his redemption. Not to help nurture the bright flame of the future, but to stand vigil. To safeguard it, until his next dying days.
I’ve read a lot of really good fic this year and I just thought the best of the best deserved some recognition. I tried to weed out the super popular fics, but some still show up because I love them that much. Also, the ships are numerous and varied.
Running on Air–eleventy7; Drarry
Draco Malfoy has been missing for three years. Harry is assigned the cold case and finds himself slowly falling in love with the memories he collects.
*I would murder people to protect this fic. It’s beautifully written, well-plotted, original, and it reuses certain sentences, making them more poignant the later in the story they’re used. Like, fuck me up*the ghost of you–kissmesexybatman; Klance
When Keith goes missing without a trace, all his family and friends are able to do is move on with their lives. When he shows back up after a year, they have to convince him they still want him back.
*I may be slightly biased because the coolest person in the world wrote this, but let me tell you, it’s emotionally heartwrenching, wonderfully written, and gives you a happy ending without sacrificing the needs of the characters*My soul is an empty carousel at sunset.–dawnstruck; Otayuri
Yuri grows up and grows older and grows into himself. Otabek helps. It just takes a while to get there.
*I’m demi and this fic described exactly what that experience has been like for me, as it features a demi!Yuri. Beyond that, it was sweet and genuine and I adored it*
oh wow – thank you SO much! *blushes madly*
)Ace Attorney( )Faves that don’t fit(
)Yuri!!! on Ice(
These are my fave Tolkien Fanfics (The Hobbit, LotR and The Silmarillion)
☆ – Not complete | ★ – Complete
oh wow – i am blushing at this amount of praise, thank you so so much!
Let’s begin with @stasiaonline’s “Unexpected Music", even though it’s not going to be a WIP much longer – two chapters to go!!!! *sobs* It’s a rockstar!Thorin/chemistry professor!Bilbo AU with an complex and enjoyable storyline, wonderful characters, trauma, drama, romance, smut, humor, international intrigue, and a whole lot of FANTASTIC cooking. Seriously, I’ve gotten some great recipes from the notes on this thing! Most impressive of all is how Stasia updates this beast (over 118 easy-to-absorb-length chapters so far) EVERY. SINGLE. SATURDAY. I’ve been following this story for over a year now and she hasn’t missed ONE WEEKEND. So if you are looking for a great story that is heading down the homestretch towards its finale, head on over to AO3 and hit that “subscribe” button, baby.
Next up, another nearly-finished-WIP – @determamfidd’s epic “Sansûkh” (and I’m not throwing the term “epic” around lightly here). It’s not exactly a fix-it, since the events of “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings” are not so much altered as enlarged upon, but OH LORD it fixes so much. While at the same time breaking your heart into a thousand, thousand pieces. I have never cried over any fic as hard as I have over this one. (That’s a selling point, btw.) This is the fic that sold me on Gigolas, but the agony and ecstasy of Bilbo and Thorin’s relationship is what holds my heart in thrall. So many people have been moved to create art, music, costumes, and more by this story, and for good reason – it’s in a class by itself. AND it’s got a chapter count now! 45 down, 5 to go!
Another modern AU now – “Dust in the Road,” the sequel to the amazing “A Remover of Obstacles”, by MistakenMagic (alas I do not think she has a tumblr). You should definitely read “Obstacle” first – Thorin doing yoga! Genderbent Fili! Incredibly well-done and therefore harrowing portrayals of PTSD! Unicorn footie PJs! Service dogs! Phone sex! AND MORE. Just…read the tags carefully, there are some potentially triggering scenes in later chapters (well-flagged though). Anyway “Dust in the Road” is The Continuing Saga, missing scenes, that sort of thing.
Finally, @bilboo‘s “Where Have All the Flowers Gone” – a WWII AU. The AO3 summary says it best: At the eve of the second World War, Lieutenant Colonel Thorin Durin sends his young nephews – his only remaining family – to live safely in the countryside. Fili and Kili end up staying with Bilbo Baggins, in his cozy little house virtually in the middle of nowhere. The boys and their Uncle exchange letters, the soldier understandably worried about how they’re being treated, and soon, Bilbo sees it fit to start adding little messages of his own – unbeknownst to him, Thorin begins cherishing those almost as much as his nephews’ words. Epistolary fiction! Long-distance pining! GREAT STUFF.
And that’s it for the Bagginshield WIPs that are currently lighting up my life! Next up: Johnsquared WIPs.
omg NAS
thank you so so much, you stunning and wonderful human, thank you SO much!
I sure can^^
Here’s a fic rec masterpost I made a while ago (most fics are Bagginshield, I read almost exclusively Bagginshield, there’s a lot of it)
and here’s a list of newer fics that I haven’t recced yet:
The Took’s Arrangement by snowmissus (soul_of_blaze) (T, WIP, arranged marriage au, just the first chapter has been published so far but it’s already so good)
Working Up An Appetite by anopenvein (Not rated, one-shot, sexy times, fem!Bagginshield)
Everything Stays by snowmissus (soul_of_blaze) (G, one-shot, canonical character death, but for once in a good way and it has a happy ending <3)
The Service by rutobuka (E, WIP, fem!Bagginshield, sex work, honestly read the tags, this fic is so goddamn hot, hottest thing I’ve ever read, I love it)
Ever On and On by yubiwamonogatari (G, one-shot, fem!Bagginshield, retired in the Shire, super duper cute <3)
Tamâmebrulu Id-Mudtu (Lullabies of the Heart) by rutobuka (T, comic, everyone lives/nobody dies, Bilbo in Erebor, words can’t express how much I love this comic)
The Sons of Durin by KivrinEngle (T, modern au, sorta crime family but idk that doesn’t 100% descibe it, doesn’t have a lot of romance but the action is good)
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung by alkjira (M, one-shot, fem!Bagginshield, Bilbo stays in Erebor, married life)
Consort’s Control by honorablementioned (E, one-shot, light d/s, light bondage, very sexy)
A Literal Roll in the Hay by GayForWerewolves (E, one-shot, trans male Bilbo, Dwarves have sensible gender concepts i.e. everyone is what they say they are so being trans is no problemo)
Hearts Will As Hearts Must by determamfidd (G, one-shot, also Kiliel and Gigolas, Gigolas is kinda the main ship here but Bagginshield has a big role, this is just such a sweet and good lil fic) (lil fic my ass it’s 10k)
and then a fic I always rec bc it just is so damn good:
Sansûkh by determamfidd (T, WIP, long as balls but honestly it’s the best fic ever, it’s the biggest blessing ever to grace this fandom, and I have so many feels about it and I want everyone to read it because it is so so so so good)
and for good measure some of my own works:
Amnâs, akrâg, rumush mudtu (T, WIP, Frerin lives au, my opus magnum tbh)
Asshân (T, WIP, fem!Bagginshield, arranged marriage au)
The One in the Waiting Room (G, one-shot, modern au)
Of Stubborn Sons and Fussy Fathers (G, one-shot, Thrain lives and is too old for this shit. what shit? all shit.)
I highly recommend reading Sansûkh as well as her other works. Pure magic and wonder. @determamfidd is honestly one of the best authors out there
*buries face in hands* I am not burbling, I am not
thank you SO much!!!
NEW FIC!!
The first New Year after the fall of the Enemy marks an occasion for celebration in the North – so Thorin III Stonehelm is to host the Games, a festival with games of skill and feasting—and Legolas and Gimli act like the newlyweds they are.
Pretty hardcore smut – chapter 5 shows them just as competitive in the bedroom as in the games, so definitely NSFW.
Originally written for @kooriicolada, who was cool with me posting this. 😀
BTW, this fic brings the gigolas total on ao3 to 989. SO CLOSE YOU GUYS!
If you like what I do, consider clicking my coffee button. That’d be cool of you.

ksjhdgfajhsd aaaaah thank you!!
ú-chebin maetha – determamfidd – The Hobbit – All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]
Summary: Legolas might not know what a Dwarf’s beard and braids mean, but he does know Gimli. Gimli must trust in that when the rest is taken from him.
This is by far one of my favorite LOTR stories. What I absolutely love is Gimli’s pov, it is just so on point and perfect. The way the author flashes between the past and present is so well done because you get both the hurt and the comfort at the same time.
Plus the way Legolas reacts and how he takes care of Gimli is everything you could want. The deepening of their relationship feels real and true to who they are. It is a very well written story so go check it out and don’t forget to leave a kind word!
AHH THANK YOU
