The Thousand Fics on AO3 Gigolas Challenge | Archive of Our Own

gimleafanatic:

A few days ago I wistfully posted wishing for 1000 searchable Gigolas works on AO3.  At least 60 of you have agreed in the notes, so I’m putting my money where my mouth is with the Thousand Fics on AO3 Gigolas Challenge.

We only need 101 works to reach a thousand as of this posting.  WE CAN DO IT!  Come sign up and write a prompt, claim a prompt to write or draw…. whatever you like.  Any genre or type of artwork is allowed and will count as long as Gimli Son of Gloin/Legolas Greenleaf is one of the main featured pairings in the work and is listed as a searchable relationship tag.  

If there isn’t a prompt you like– write your own and complete it!  You might find someone else is inspired by it and will write something based on the prompt for you, as well.  What could be better?

Assuming this actually gets some prompts, I am very likely to respond to the ones I love best…. come on, let’s play!  🙂

PLEASE REBLOG to attract more participants.  🙂

Hi Dets, a little footnote on the Battle of Helm’s Deep: I once spoke to a guy who was really into archery, built his own bows, knew everything about history, won pro-contests. According to him Legolas’ bodycount is absolutely dismal.He said a skilled archer would’ve had a way higher count. He wouldn’t have had to search for spare arrows himself, either, he’d have had a page doing it for him. “Not sure if Tolkien didn’t know and made a mistake or if he knew it and was making a point,” he ended.

TRUE. legolas was possibly very very distracted?

he was probably still thinking: ‘holy shit, stout legs and hard axe, wtf self, did I really just say that, cripes could i be any more obvious and needy, shit shit shit, he knows, he knows, there’s no way he doesn’t know after that, stout legs and hard axe, lskjhdgfjhddadjkagfla, Legolas you gumnut, you total gumnut, Elbereth Gilthoniel I am so gone’

Thrandy will get Leggy back for that diary incident on his begetting day ‘ ah my beloved son,meany years ago on this day your mother and I laid as one and blessed you into the world’ ‘Ada i-‘ ‘it was a very passionate affair if i recall correctly’ ‘Ada i’m sorry please st-‘ ‘in fact it was meany passionate affairs that night’ ‘OH VALAR I BEG YOU STOP!’ but he dose not,the whole day is this.

oh my GOD

OH

GOD

Nonnie, you know something

this is reminding me that Elves do not in fact celebrate their birthdays, they celebrate their conception instead

and so, once a year, Thranduil would have done this. Once a year. ONCE A YEAR

“…SO THAT WAS THE SIXTEENTH TIME, AND NO LUCK. BUT THEN THE SEVENTEENTH TIME, YOU WERE MADE AND IT WAS SO JOYOUS, SO BEAUTIFUL. WE WERE UPSIDE DOWN IN A TREE AT THE TIME, THERE WAS WHIPPED CREAM AND GLITTER GLUE EVERYWHERE. I’D BROUGHT THE CLOTHESPEGS AND SPATULA, AND YOUR MOTHER WAS-”

“Auugh, Adar, please. STOP.”

“MANY HAPPY RETURNS, ION-NIN!!!”

(ONCE

A

YEAR)

The obvious continuation to the ask about Legolas getting a piercing: WHERE is he getting it? (I’m thinking somewhere usually covered by clothing…)

yesssss mmm yes okay then, um 

how about Gimli designs something especially for him, because a normal downstairs piercing for a Dwarf is a little… weighty for an Elf’s bits. (DWARF DESIGN TENDS TO BE P CHUNKY AFTER ALL). And so Legolas ends up with the prettiest, most delicate goddamn pieces in mithril (bc light but also unbreakable), a frenum ladder or something like that

heheheheh mithril on his bits, the shiniest most expensive trouser region in Middle Earth, snrk ‘that was a kingly gift!’ 

also Gimli would be adamant about those nipple piercings, bc Legolas has earned those, they’re a warrior’s mark and isn’t Legolas a hero DAMMIT

Everyone thinks Gimli and Leggy’s relationship is in it’s honeymoon phase, everyone thinks that after a wile they’ll settle down and stop flirting all the time and kissing every 5 minutes but soon they’ll see they are dead WRONG they act like that FOREVER when Gimli is an old dwarf he STILL grabs leggy’s butt every chance he gets and Leggy still freaking talks everyone’s head off abut how hot Gimli is and how much he loves him AND they still make out all the dame time, in front of everyone.

shadowedkitten:

determamfidd:

i would read a zillion words about this

how Legolas sees the first grey hairs in Gimli’s mane, and Gimli thinks SHIT SHIT SHIT here comes the mortality-conversation AGAIN

but no

Legolas immediately has to jump his bones BC SILVER FOX GIMLI MAKES HIS ARROWS FLY STRAIGHT AND TRUE, iykwim

Gimli becoming as regal and dignified-looking as any of the Dwarf-kings of old, to the point where young dwarves are gasping HOLY COW and get all tongue-tied: his beard glittering, hair growing ever longer and twined in unfamiliar braids, wisdom and humour in his old eyes and nobility in his slow and heavy gait

and then he ruins the effect by pinching Legolas’ bum

THIS NEEDS TO BE A PROMPT FOR THE GIGOLAS 1000 FICS CHALLENGE 

JUST SAYING

#gimli w middle-age spread and LEGOLAS WAXING RHAPSODIC ABOUT IT   #gimli who spends every night learning Sindarin just so that he can write a song to Legolas’ eyes   #(and also to talk dirty in Elvish BC PRIORITIES)   #Legolas whose own incessant songs are no longer about the wind and the starlight lmao   #Gimli who drags them both into a ‘spare room’ at Eldarion’s wedding – only to discover that they’ve been getting it on   #in Eldarion’s OWN ROOM   #and he and his new spouse will be there ANY SECOND   #SHIT SHIT SHIT   #Aragorn who has passed through the fires of Total Doneness   #and is now impervious to everything that ever was and ever will be (via)

THESE TAGS ARE EVERYTHING TO ME

Emotional drunk Leggy who after too much ale is sitting by the bar alone,gazing into the distance,tears in his eyes. Aragorn approaches him and asks what’s wrong. Legolas wipes his eyes and proclaims ‘i simply can not express my admiration for Gimli’s beauty Aragorn! his hair is like fire that is cool in my hands,it is like touching tame fire Aragorn!!!’ he sobs and continues to talk abut how beautiful Gimli is and how he can hardly deal with such beauty. Aragorn should have known better by now.

Aragorn: *vaguely pats Legolas’ back*

Legolas: AND HIS HANDS, HOW CAN I EVER ENCOMPASS THE WONDER THAT ARE HIS HANDS, THEY CAN CREATE SUCH MARVELS AND YET THEY CAN UNMAKE ME IN MOMENTS

Aragorn: *wearily* yes, I know, they’re very nice

Legolas: HIS EYES, HIS EYES, THEY DANCE LIKE THE GLOW OF FIREFLIES UPON AMBER UPON WARM SUMMER EVENINGS

Aragorn: that’s… nice.

Legolas: HIS LIPS ARE SO SOFT *blubbers* THEY’RE SO SOFT ARAGORN 

Aragorn: That must be… nice.

Legolas: AND HIS ARSE, OH THAT POWERFUL ARSE, NO WONDER OF THIS WORLD CAN COMPARE TO ITS STRENGTH AND BEAUTY, IT FILLS MY PALMS LIKE-

Aragorn: *hurriedly signalling the barman to cut Legolas off* THAT’S NICE
