Is the Gigolas/Bagginshield recs page a dead/abandoned page?

Whoops, no it isn’t, Nonnie! I am just tremendously slack about keeping everything updated regularly *sheepish smile* I tend to fly online for a couple of seconds, reblog madly, and zip away (in a cloud of stress). Housekeeping happens during the school holidays these days!!!

I DO have some recs that I intend to put on the list, short one-shots and also fics that I am currently reading (and enjoying like whoa!) I have listed a handful of them here, as a mea culpa. Sorry sorry sorry!!! I will get to it this weekend i hope

(these are predominantly Gigolas, though some few are Bagginshield, fyi)

Oh sweet Gandalf.

I’m a huge Gimli/Legolas BroTP fan, and I never noticed this.

But yes. Every step along the way, Legolas is keeping an eye on Gimli, making sure he hasn’t passed out or died or gotten lost. And he’s not going to say anything. He’s not going to make a big deal about it, because they’re not officially friends or anything, and besides, Gimli’s a proud dwarf. He wouldn’t want an Elf prince checking up on him.

But still, as discreetly as he can, Legolas is doing exactly that.

Pardon me while I cuddle the two of you little darlings out of your adorable little minds.

Baby you still there?

Right in the feels, this gif.

Smitten!Legolas in the middle of the war. I CAN’T.

I was reading Sansukh today and came upon the part where Legolas says “Gimli melin” and I realized “That sounds a lot like ‘mellon.’ What if he said ‘melin’ to Gimli and Gimli heard ‘mellon’ and was all, ‘Awww, that’s nice, I feel the same way about everyone in the fellowship.'” <— THE PERILS OF HOMONYMS! (Now I have to put something like this in my fanfic.)

lmaaaaaaaaaaaao – yes, um, Gimli, that does not mean what you think it means! 

(I do enjoy the ole language shenanigans, heheheheheh)

We need a Gigolas fanfic drinking game. Want to help me identify the tropes? Drunk flirting/sex in Rohan, drunk flirting/sex in Gondor, involuntary erections while riding together on Arod, Legolas feels guilt over neglecting Gimli on the Paths of the Dead, Legolas freaks out over Gimli’s mortality, Legolas freaks out over Gimli’s headwound at Helm’s Deep, Gimli freaks out over Legolas fading when he dies…. we’ve all written them, read them, loved them. What else? X-D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh god, that’s amazing, I love it, I’ll add some (gosh, I am guilty of some of these, and yessss every single one, gimme 😀 )

– Hair braiding!!! ALL THE HAIR BRAIDING

– Gimli does not think he is attractive enough bc he is but a nasty lil Dwarf

– Legolas does not think he is attractive enough, bc why we just don’t know

– Fangorn Forest/Aglarond LOVE SHACK BAAAABYYYYY (love shack baby)

– Gloin and/or Thranduil find out by walking in on them together (often followed by)

– epic, epic tantrums from Gloin and Thranduil

– Fighting as a form of flirting

– ALL. THE. SPEECHES. ABOUT. LOVE. ALL OF THEM.

– the competition continues IN BED *waggles eyebrows*

– Tremblingly nervous ingenue Legolas

– Gimli swears incessantly and constantly

– Lapsing into Khuzdul or Sindarin during the nasty

– Epic service top Gimli

– Aragorn knew before the Quest even BEGAN and is 9000% done with the pair of them please please Arwen make them stop, I have seen and heard things that no man should see/hear

– Lavish, lingering comparisons between Elvish and Dwarvish physiology (*whispers* oh of this I am so guiltyyyy)

– Gandalf ships it

– Galadriel ships it

– The hobbits ship it, even Treebeard ships it

This is one of those drinking games where not passing out isn’t an option…

@determamfidd We love everything you’re guilty of 🙂

*takes a bow* I thank yew @katajainen 😉 Every trope is near and dear to my gigolas-devoted lil heart!

(Drain your glass if there is a ‘confession’ in either Khuzdul or Sindarin THAT THE OTHER NATURALLY DOESN’T UNDERSTAND)

HAPPY DAY OF BIRTH!!!! Maybe one day after the whole thing is over and Gimli and Legolas are married (AS WELL THEY SHOULD BE), they’ve been traveling for a while and it’s Gimizh’s birthday and he wishes out loud on his candles that Uncle Gimli and Uncle Legolas could be there and then there’s a “What an interesting wish there, lad” “Indeed, meleth nîn” from behind him and suddenly Gimizh is in this giant hug with his uncles and there are tears and everyone is happy and the party is a huge hit

everything about this is just *heaves a happy, teary sigh* oh, thank you.
