so exciting news! im making a fee&kee book. because apparently im complete social media au trash. at the moment its lookin like it will be around 40 pages long (lol what even) and it will have a continuous story that will go with all the “social media posts”. Which will follow the love lives of Bilbo/Thorin, Gimli/Legolas and Dwalin/Ori. With a good amount of Boromir and Aragorn being LARPing dorks and I will try to fit in as many lotr characters as possible.  It probably won’t be ready to send to the printer for another week and a half or so but I kinda wanna know about how many books ill need to order sO I am taking preorders right now! If you want one you can send $12 USD to my paypal account under the email cargline@gmail.com and just put “fee&kee book” in the description also your address so I can ship it to you when it comes in obvs. If you live outside of the USA it would be like the most amazing thing ever if you added $3-$5 to help pay for shipping. I will love you forever. 

If you really want a book but dont have the money right now you can reserve a book by emailing me at: cargline@gmail.com.

A digital copy of the book (for $8) will be available too a lil while after I get all the physical books shipped. 

Does your modern!Bifur get together with Ori? :)

chess-ka:

Awww yes!

Dori opened a tea shop / café across the road from Bifur and Bofur’s toyshop, and Ori helps out there when he’s not working super hard for his Phd (in… idk, literature? History? Language? Something Ori-ish). Ori and Bifur strike up an odd, comfortable friendship that eventually leads to something more.

Here, have some art I did way too quickly.

Laundromat au where Thorin thought he was the only one in the small laundromat and he sees that his pants/trousers are actually looking pretty dirty so he decides to include that in the wash. And as he threw it down at the washing machine, in comes this cute curly haired man, about to do some laundry himself, and there’s Thorin. In his boxers. TOO LATE THORIN. YOU’VE DONE THE DEED. GO SUFFER AND BE EMBARRASSED.

Bilbo probably still does the laundry this is his only day scheduled to wash his clothes and Frodo spilled macaroni all over his favorite table cloth the laundry is getting done hot naked man or not.

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.

Epilogue of my gigolas comic from the fee&kee social media au.

So you know those super sketchy fairs that set up in a random parking lot over night? Yeah well one of those came in town. Its been a few months since /the breakup/ and Leggles decides now is as good a time as ever to finally ask Gimli out on a date. The rest of gang agrees that going to the fair is a very very good idea. Just ya know for fun. Not to spy. Or anything. Why would you think that?

u must also consider for modern gigolas: which one of them gets up at 3 am to let the cat out, who uses too much whipped cream on their food, who gets slammed against the wall during makeouts, which one sucks at technology the most, and also who annoyed aragorn the most when one was pining for the other

You are working for the good of us all, please never stop Nonnie, it is vitally important to the continued running of the everything that we consider these crucial concepts ❤

which one of them gets up at 3 am to let the cat out: Legolas, probably! He’s not as deep a sleeper as Gimli. Also… he likely gets less cross when awoken. I bet Gimli is a grouchy bear when he’s had too little sleep!

who uses too much whipped cream on their food: LEGOLAS AGAIN. Sweet tooth like whoa. 

who gets slammed against the wall during makeouts: Wrestling match decides the winner! Gimli wins 42 times in a row, and crows about it for a week or two (until Legolas pins him on the couch and snogs him silly hahahaha)

which one sucks at technology the most: Hmm, probs Legolas, though he isn’t all that bad really. I can’t see any Dwarf (or former Dwarf) being anything less than competent with technology. Gimli probably builds his own towers and adds extra hard drives etc. Though I expect that Legolas is sliiiiiightly addicted to Instagram (boy is a selfie junkie), or perhaps has an aesthetic blog!

and also who annoyed aragorn the most when one was pining for the other:
