Now I’m having a persistent mental image of Leglas and Arwen commiserating over the annoyances of moving gracefully with beard-burnt thighs. Damn those attractive quick-tongued husbands.

Arwen: “Well, it’s not such a problem for me, of course…”

Legolas: “What? I would have thought it… worse. You know. Because his beard is shorter. More… bristly.”

Arwen: “Ah, but! The hands of a King are the hands of a healer, remember?”

Legolas: “… I don’t think that’s what Ioreth had in mind when she said that.”

Hey I am looking for modernAU gimli x legolas fanfiction 🙂 any recommendations?? pls help!!

Hey there!

(These are copied straight from my fic recs jsyk – check it for some more fics, both modern AU and in-universe)

Northern Babylon by icarus_chained (Gen) (Gigolas)
After four years fighting the war in the south, Gimli and Legolas have come back to their home city of New Rhovanion changed, and perhaps for the better. Gimli tries to make Elven Councillor Thranduil understand this, and understand that maybe there’s hope for more than just Gimli and Legolas as well.

*Cul de Sac AU (Teen) by Scarletjedi (Gigolas)
Modern AU Hipster Elves and Biker Dwarves.

Knowledge and Light (teen) by Flamebyrd (Gigolas, Arawen, Kiliel, Faramir/Eowyn)
He knew leaving his home and going to university would change him. He didn’t realise what that meant. 1930’s University/alternate world AU

Nothing Doth Fade (but Suffers a Sea-Change) (Teen) by notanightlight (Gigolas)
Gimli has always heard stories about the seals that lived near the cliffs of Castle Durin. “They aren’t what they seem,” they’d tell him. Gimli never knew what to think of those stories, until the night he met a stranger on the shore, with the sea in his eyes and moonlight on his skin. Selkie Modern AU

Impartial Judge (Explicit) by bigmamag (Gigolas, Kiliel, Bagginshield)
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. Harry Potter AU   

What Tradition Told You (Teen) by Lapin (Gigolas, Bagginshield)
Today’s world, where Legolas is a rich pretty boy searching for distraction and Gimli, a union man’s son, provides it with little trouble. Where Thorin is head of the union and in love with a quiet man not interested in his fight, where Thranduil means well, but succeeds rarely, with a son missing his mother, and where children must find their own way of doing things.

A series of shorts.
On this broken merry go ‘round and ‘round and ’round we go. Modern AU

I do not ask to the night explanations (for faithless is he who bids farewell when the road darkens) (teen) by mozzarella (Gigolas, Thorinduil, Arawen)
Legolas wants to marry a poet, who loves him enough to write him into immortal words.It’s a pipe dream, one that pales in the face of his high school life. He hates his best friend’s other best friend, fucks it up with the school’s popular crowd, has a few major crises along the way—but the love notes left in his locker, written in comforting, unassuming poetry, helps a lot.If he could just find out who his secret admirer is, maybe things might just start to look up. High School AU.

Aaaaaand my own humble offering: 

The Long Road (Teen, 6K)  On AO3

i was thinking about how gigolas smut (boinkaboink, hehehe) would fit into sansukh and then i died laughing because they would totally be the types to wait until absolutely everything was finished and there were no loose ends and then be like “are we done? yeah? good. because we’re gonna go to our room now. and stay there. for uh a while. possibly days. … we’ll be having sex, btw.” and Aragon would be like “YES I KNOW PLEASE LEAVE”

BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hi Dets! I’ve been re-reading Sansukh and going through your posts on Legolas’ brothers, and I’ve come to the conclusion that none of Thranduil’s sons were married before the War of the Ring; is this correct? If so, what — if any — impact would this have on Thranduil when Legolas makes his relationship with Gimli known? (does Thranduil even want his sons to get married in the first place?)

Hmm. No, none of them are married, you’re right.

So, I am writing Elves as a slightly different kettle of fish to Dwarves. From Tolkien’s writings, it appears that Elves can all be considered demisexual to varying degrees. Sex can ONLY occur when love is present, and sex itself is the act of marriage.

Laindawar is very, VERY introverted. He has only really ever been close to one person: his brother Laerophen, to be frank. He likes his solitude. He is often mistaken for aloof, because he simply prefers his own company. He has never fallen in love, and doesn’t want or expect to.

Laerophen wouldn’t be averse to falling in love one day, but he is far beyond the age when an Elf customarily finds their love. It’s not unheard of for an older Elf to find love, but Laerophen doesn’t think it likely.

Legolas is also beyond the age when Elves are most likely to settle down. He was quite resigned to it, and was ready to be the Prince his father expected him to be.

WHOOPS 😉

Thranduil would have terribly mixed feelings over his sons’ finding a partner. His own experience has been one of great joy followed by terrible loss, and he would NEVER want that for his sons. In the films he warns Tauriel away from Legolas out of a sense of protectiveness rather than classism against ‘lowly Silvan Elves’, to my mind (though of course the classism is a lovely excuse to use – Thranduil doesn’t easily reveal his true feelings without a LOT of prompting or provocation).

So, a bit rambly, but there’s some of my thoughts, Nonnie!
