You know, it just occurred to me that Gimli and Celebrimbor actually have a lot in common. They’re both jewellers, both in awe of Galadriel, both were key players in forging friendships between dwarves and elves, both are painfully loyal, both have a family curse to deal with, and I dunno why but I always pictured Celebrimbor as red-headed. I bet they’d get on like house on fire if they ever had a chance to meet. (Sansukh thought: Do you think sometimes Gimli reminds Narvi of Celebrimbor?)

I NEVER MET AN ANGSTY PARALLEL I DIDN’T LIKE

alkjsdhflkashdfal yes, yes, absolutely! (although I am so sorry to be That Person, but Celebrimbor is mentioned to be dark-haired IT COULD BE DARK AUBURN THOUGH idk, I am sorry to mention that) 

Narvi thinks, now and then, in that strange what-if way: Brim and Gimli would be like those brand-new-but-instant friends you meet at parties now and then, the kind who always seem to know the same jokes and so tell them simultaneously in really loud voices.

(She watched Gimli as he built the Doors of Aglarond: all the arguing and hmming over plans, the frowning and pacing, the chewing of the lip, the sudden joyous bursts of inspiration. 

It was like watching a memory.)

The truth is, I believe that Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thrain, son of Thror, gave his throne up to his cousin Dain, who proved himself worthy of the Raven Crown.  

(Dain had protested, but his cousin would hear none of it.  To this, Thorin’s only reply was: I have brought our kin home but I will not repeat my grandsire’s mistakes.)

The truth is that I believe Fili and Kili followed their uncle, but not before a tearful reunion with their Mam, who certainly needed to know that her sons still lived.  Often, Fili and Kili would make the journey between the Shire and Erebor, bringing with them gifts for their family and kin. 

And if perhaps, a red-haired Elf wandered the Shire in Kili’s company, most Shire-folk paid it no mind since Bilbo Baggins was known to have outlandish visitors.  And perhaps there were those who saw the starlight in the red-haired Elf’s eyes and smiled to themselves at her joy, shared by her Dwarven companion. 

The truth is, Durin’s sons chose deliberately to fade from the story, aided and abetted by the clever storytelling of their Burglar and little Frodo. 

The truth is, Fili and Kili would have gone with Frodo on his quest, but the Council had decided that Frodo needed stealth and secrecy more and the fewer companions, the better it would be.  So Gimli alone represented his kin and he carried Fili’s knives with him.

The truth is, when the Orcs came for Rivendell, Durin’s sons fought alongside the Elves in that battle and helped them win the day and so it was that Arwen, Aragorn’s future Queen, would be safely brought to Gondor. 

The truth is that Thorin Oakenshield actually died from the wounds he sustained in the battle for Rivendell, but not before pressing kisses to his beloved Burglar, whispering love and thanks for a life that was long and well-lived and filled with peace and joy. 

The truth is that when Gimli confessed to his cousins the love that grew between him and the son of Thranduil, Fili and Kili found cause for laughter again and Tauriel would join Legolas when he established his Elf colony in the woods of Ithilien.  And Gimli would have his kin with him in the Glittering Caves.

The truth is that when Bilbo set foot in Elvenhome, the Hobbit would soon be brought by Olorin to the gates of Aule’s Halls, so that he would be reunited with his Dwarf-king again. 

These are true things.  This is what happened. 

The king is dead.

Long live the king.  And his Consort.

Gimizh, in the Shire: I must RISE UP to the occasion, in this hobbit nation! Sirs! (*insert mock salute to Merry and Pippin, his new prank coaches and right hand men*) The Took Hobbits sing: Here comes Gimizh ~rise up~… (same Gimizh-in-the-shire anon as before. I may have listened to Hamilton too many times. if such a thing is possible.)

HERE COMES THE COOKIETHIEF 🙂

shhh no no no Nonnie, no, such a thing is not possible! 

*puts earphones back in* OH! this immigrant isn’t somebody we chose… OH! this immigrant’s keeping us all on our tooooes… OH!

Gimli visits the Shire. Gimizh sneaks along somehow. They meet the ENTIRE Took clan. Gimizh is, to his horror and delight, out-mischief-ed. Out pranked. Out schemed, out-played. He must learn their ways. Pippin and Merry take him under their wing. Gimli is terrified of this team-up. Someone just hands him a pipeful of Longbottom Leaf.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh jeez, my brain cannot handle the idea of Gimizh + Tooks, it’s too frightening

(almost as frightening as the idea that Gimizh could ever, ever be out-mayhemmed, oh good GOD)

Wee Thorin has to do a family tree for school and it is full of pain and angst when he has to ask his parents about it. Also very awkward. The accompanying drawings of the extended family are like 35% guesswork even after Wee Thorin asks every relative he has because the most of older people died so very long ago.

OW

OW OW OW OW

Oh OW

Dwalin can fill in some of it. Gloin tries as well. It’s a good thing that old tapestry is still knocking about… but Dweris’ family is a mystery lost to time and war, and the only thing that is remembered about Farin’s spouse Ganois is that they were a painter. The tree is missing so many of its branches. 

(For the record, Dweris’ mum was named Gweris, and she was a swordsmith. Her father was Delor, a fletcher – but no records about them survived. Not one.)

oh, and Orla will not speak of her family bc GIANT SPOILERS
