ANON AGAIN??? why did i tlel you i was drunk, i apologize. i am making fool of self. love everything you’ve created and this little mini community, it fills my cold angry center with joy, everyone here is beautiful. good night 

AWWW NONNIE, LOVELY DEAR SLIGHTLY-TANKED NONNIE. 

Heh. I love everyone in this bar 😉

(me rn – and yeah, that is an apron)

i desperately DESPERATELY need a musical/musician gigolas au, I don’t mind admitting. I know shit about Band AU, bc I am a string player and a vocalist, so if it =/= orchestra or choir, i am a newborn baby deer. 

BUT I WOULD READ THE SHIT OUT OF ANY MUSICAL/MUSICIAN GIGOLAS AU, I DON’T MIND TELLING YOU

Orchestra Au w lead oboist Legolas and double-bass player Gimli? Gimme.

Choir Au with bass Gimli (the only one who can keep the others in tune dammit) and soloist tenor Legolas? Gimme.

String Quartet Au with First Violinist Legolas, Second Violinist Aragorn, Violist Eomer and Cellist Gimli?

Gimme. 

Barbershop Quartet Au with Bass Gimli and Lead Legolas? Gimme.

A capella Au, a nontet (9 singers) called ‘The Fellowship” GUESS WHO IS THE BARITONE, GUESS WHO SINGS TENOR

Classical soloist Au with opera countertenor Legolas and pianist (and company accompanist) Gimli? Gimme.

Stage Au with renowned bass-baritone Gimli and side-stage dresser Legolas? 

Gimme.

Heck, if anyone thinks that any of these are worth looking at/investigating, you are more than welcome to em, or stick them on the 1000 Fics Gigolas challenge. DO IT! MAKE ALL THE GIGOLAS HAPPEN. ALWAYS.  

I want all of this

I need a fic where Gimli and Legolas play bassoon and oboe respectively and the poor band director has to deal with the chaos in the double reeds (so many contests to see who can breathe the least!). But eventually they bond over reeds.

yesssss fucking perfection

I THOUGHT OF MORE

composer!Gimli and conductor!Legolas

Piano trio AU, where Aragorn is the pianist, Legolas is violin and Gimli is cellist, and we don’t agree on the tempo EVER

Opera!AU, where Legolas is a countertenor and Gimli is the bass (and Handel is a sadist)

Mozart Horn Concerto!AU where Gimli is the horn soloist and Legolas is the conductor and stop showing off you bloody brass-brained idiot

Lieder/art-song AU: we have a recital to put together in two weeks, I know I’m a baritone but can we please sing anything other than Schubert, Vaughan-Williams or Mahler PLEASE I’m begging you here (Legolas as the pianist ofc)

SWAP IT and Legolas as the tenor and Gimli as the pianist, and SHIT NO I WILL NOT BLOODY PLAY SCHUBERT’S ERLKONIG AT THAT HELLISH SPEED are you bonkers

String Quartet AU in which Cellist!Gimli will kill a man if they have to play Pachelbel’s Canon one more fucking time

ALL THE GIGOLAS MUSICIAN AUS. ALL OF THEM

Competitive conservatory students AU. They’re both gunning for first chair/concert master.

Gimli struggles with solfege, Legolas struggles with written theory. They tutor each other.

There’s only one one practice room available and they both think they deserve it more than the other.

Gimli is an education major and he’s studying Legolas’s instrument. And gets tutoring/assistance.

One is the singer. The other is the accompanist. They disagree on interpretation.

Gimli as the piano tuner all the other students look down on, until Legolas realizes how fucking talented Gimli’s ear is.

GLORIOUSSSS

i am in such need of these i stg, gimme gimme gimme

Composer!Gimli and singer!Legolas – bloody DO IT LIKE I WROTE IT

Jazz band AU: Saxophonist Gimli and lead singer Legolas – “Stop playing your fill or your punches OVER my melody, you jerk, they’re meant to go IN-BETWEEN THE PHRASES!!!” 

Opera AU: this is my worst language, I can’t fucking sing in this language, HELP ME or our big duet is ruined

renowned singing teacher Gimli giving a masterclass, holy shit that tall blond is one incredible baroque tenor why isn’t this guy singing the repertoire that fits him, why are they pushing him towards the heavy romantics????

We’re the Middle-Earth equivalent of the Three Tenors, known as the Three Hunters, and you keep on extending and extending and EXTENDING the rubato in the final verse of O Sole Mio you selfish prick, don’t you need to BREATHE

And don’t forget the piano piece for four hands….

*GASP*

YOU’RE A GENIUS

Legolas is trying to start an a’capella group because this University doesn’t have one, but he just can’t find a vocal percussionist. Then he hears Gimli messing around on the quad one day and Holy Crap How Do I Convince You To VP For My Group!?!?!

Gimli is the drummer in a band and has noticed this guy always shows up to the concerts with a balloon in his hands. One day he catches the guy after a show to ask why. Turns out Legolas is Deaf and loves feeling the vibrations from music with strong rhythms and bass lines; the balloon amplifies the vibrations. Gimli is his favorite local drummer.

You are my vocal coach and you are awesome, but sometimes I hate you because this breathing exercise is ridiculous and I swear you’re only doing this so you can laugh at me.

Our choir is going on a tour and while we kinda knew each other before, now that I’m sitting next to you on the tour bus I’m really starting to enjoy hanging out with you, and oops! Didn’t expect that crush!

I don’t speak your language, and you don’t speak mine, but we’ve both been singing songs from Carmen back and forth to each other and I never want to stop.

Jesus Nota, you’re amazing with AUs!

I want an AU of drum & bugle corps training. Days on the field, nights in the weight room. On the road from competition to competition. One in the color guard, the other as drum major…

I like the way you think!

OSU Marching Band AU: We both made it through the most stressful tryouts. And we’ve spent ages going over the formations to make sure we were perfectly in step. I am a Professional and therefore not going to stop playing, but I just want to shout at the top of my lungs that MY BOYFRIEND IS DOTTING THE I!!!

I always hear you playing in the practice rooms and you always sound so good, but what do you mean you can’t read sheet music? You seriously learned all that by ear?!

“MY BOYFRIEND IS DOTTING THE I!!!” – the magic words that go directly to my heart. XD

And the there’s the high school version, where the freshman is having trouble memorizing his music, or figuring out how to march eight to five! Thank goodness there’s a squad leader to help him out during the two hours of down time every day at band camp!

Legolas and Gimli play single reed instruments and there’s a baroque festival at their college/university. So they have to find a way to while away the bored hours while all their friends are rehearsing.

Legolas has 124 measures of rest during The Hound Of Heaven and his fingers are itching to braid the hair of the flautist who sits in front on him. (The flautist, for the record, has been trying not to turn around and gaze at Legolas.)

It’s a festival focusing on contemporary composers, and musician Gimli is complaining that nothing the artist has created is different from the last fifty years of orchestral music. He doesn’t realize that Legolas is standing behind him. (Contrarily, Gimli has a debut piece and Legolas pulls a Saint-Saens and walks out altogether.)

Sectionals. Arguments about bowing.

The two bond over being annoyed by the trumpet section. (Where Aragorn and Boromir are having a high-note contest and are taking through rehearsal.)

Legolas and Gimli live in the same apartment building. Gimli has been playing Khachaturian at 3 am and it’s driving Legolas mad. So Legolas begins playing Rachmaninov. Loudly.

Legolas teaches Gimli eurythmics, and comes up with a new and interesting way for Gimli to internalize the beat. 😉

HOLY SHIT IT GOT BETTER

AND BY ‘BETTER’ I MEAN STUPENDOUS

omg mentioning Khachaturian makes me think of a percussionist!Gimli AU! He suffers a lot of disdain from the rest of the orchestra, including Legolas. You know the drill, “over here are the REAL musicians”, lots of jokes about the percussion section not being able to read music or even hold the beat… and then their orchestra is playing Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance and dear sweet merciful SHIT HE’S ACTUALLY BREATHTAKINGLY AMAZING

(omfg arguments about bowing yes yes all of them)
