ON AO3

Legolas knew Gimli’s body as well as his own, and he knew when it was subtly different. An immortal Elf never changes, and the workings of time upon his lover were a marvel to him. It fascinated him. It enchanted him. How could one person be made of such endless, enthralling variety?

Now, he only had to convince Gimli of such.

(Easier to convince the moon.)

Who gives the best hugs, Gimli or Legolas?

Ooooh. A truly challenging and very important question.

The best enfolding, bone-squeezing, I’m-so-glad-to-see-you, my-arms-are-a-safe-wall-for-you, holy-shit-we’re-alive-we-made-it hugs? Gimli. 

The best silent and still and peaceful hugs, the breathing-slowly-together hugs, the ones which make your shoulders loosen and your heart gentle? Legolas.

The best comfort hugs, the cry-it-out hugs, they-can’t-get-you you’re-safe, your ear upon his heartbeat, rocking ever so slightly hugs? Gimli.

The best joyous hug, the one that sweeps you off your feet, full of sunlight and laughter and twirling and leaping, the celebratory hug to rule them all? Legolas.

(however, they’re both equally good at the you-are-the-dearest-thing-in-this-world-to-me, you-are-so-wonderful, I-could-hold-you-forever hugs, the ones which say I love you over and over again.)

Gimli visiting Eryn Lasgalen and like, the jokey elves noticing he says ‘aye’ q lot. They walk up to him and say “Legolas has pretty eyes, doesn’t he?” And since Gimli notices they aren’t out to give him a cold shoulder he goes (1/2)

“Aye, he certainly does.” The elves laugh, the peanut gallery cracks up and Gimli continues to half heartedly complain about those annoying punny (aha, get it?) Elves. (2/2)

AHHHH YES I LOVE, more cheeky silly irreverent elves, with their barrel songs and their tralalally pls and thank

what if they notice that nowadays Legolas says ‘aye’ on occasion, and so try to make him say it as often as possible, lmao

An attempt at collecting hobbit fic that’s set in Hogwarts. The list is biased in favor of a.) WIPs that have more than 1 chapter posted, b.) fics that put hobbit characters into the Hogwarts setting (i.e. a hobbit character is the protagonist, not Harry & friends), and c.) works that aren’t chapters of a story collection.

Impartial Judge (Explicit) by bigmamag (Gigolas, Kiliel, Bagginshield – both Hobbit & LOTR characters featured)

The Triwizard Tournament brings Europe’s three largest wizarding schools together for the competition of a lifetime. Gimli had only planned to tag along as Krum’s entourage, but is unexpectedly chosen as Durmstrang’s champion. When the son of Thranduil is chosen as Beauxbatons’ champion, Gimli seeks a way to bring him down a peg or two, but unexpectedly finds something completely different. 

(one of my fave fics, btw – I rec it with every cell and fibre of my being, it is so brilliant and well-written and engaging!)
