Hey, I just wanted to say thank you THANK YOU for Sansûkh! This was the best thing I could have possibly found after finally watching the last movie! I simply adore your Gimli, his personality and the relationship between him and Thorin. Not to mention all the other wonderful dwarves you write! I can’t imagine the amount of work you have put to this! (Also, looking forward to characters dying, wtf? ;) Can’t wait for Dain to join the rest. He’ll have a lot to say, I imagine!) Thanks again!

You’re so kind, thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it, and yep yep – this fic makes you want to kill people, it’s very strange. 

I AM SO HAPPY you like my Gimli! BEST DWARF IS BEST. FAVE SINCE FOREVER. *pats him* My baby. My son. My ultra-hairy little boy. *pats him some more* GIMMERS.

Can you give me a cheerful random fact from the universe of Sansukh? I’ve had a rather bad day and could use a pick-me-up in the form of hillarity… (you don’t have to though if you don’t want to…)

Gloin is the most unmusical dwarf to ever live. Oin has often remarked that it is a blessing he is deaf, because that way he needn’t hear his brother butchering his way through a song. 

Thankfully, you don’t need to sing to be an accountant. (Thankfully, his children were taught by others!)

Fili once entered Gimlin-zaram only to be faced with Sam Gamgee… on the throne, as it were. *clears throat*

He left rather hurriedly.

Thrain sticks his tongue between his teeth when he works, especially when crafting the fiddly stuff. He’s in constant danger of biting it off, particularly when hammering. Every master he ever worked under tried to train it out of him. Thrain is a true son of the Durin line, though. He could not be daunted! DU BEKAR. 

Gimli still owns his childhood Azaghal toy.

Bomfris went through a period in her fifties of sewing raven feathers to her clothes. Then she remembered that she hates sewing. 

Jeri is the undisputed darts champion of Erebor. 

Hrera refuses – flat out refuses – to wear the same piece of jewellery two days in a row. She has to change it around each day. She has a system now – a rota of earrings and bracelets and brooches and ear-cuffs and hair-beads, all arranged neatly on her jewellery trees. She has been known to modify pieces so that they appear slightly different!

And Dwalin is the one who kisses both the child AND their doll goodnight. (and woe betide Wee Thorin when he lets that slip!)
