From a Hobbitkink prompt:

The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and
shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over
his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of
hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin’s line with
bright red hair.

(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes
time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a
soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused,
Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

“You’re out of grapes”-BWAHAHA. Oh, Dis, mithril heart and spine. Okay, I’ve never had such emotion reading the part about Arwen and Frodo, or Gimli and Eomer resolving their conflict before. So many feels! ARAGORN REMEMBERED BOROMIR’S PROMISE OF PENNANTS!! Pippin + Glorfindel = headaches. Dain understanding Hrera better than Balin? Priceless. Oh my heart. Breaking along with the fellowship. You. Left. It. On. A. Cliffhanger. This will either go very badly, or very silly.

AHHHHH asldkjfghlajhsdfa YOU ARE MADE OF PUREST UNTARNISHED AWESOME, THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH

heheheh Gimizh ❤ my tiny terror child! DIS dear lord I am so cruel to her and she is so damned. awesome. 

Eeeee so thrilled you liked the way I took the canon sections and twisted them! The Frodo and Arwen meeting has always struck me as a bit too loose, so I pulled it tighter, and the Eomer-enters-as-King moment has always felt too pat. I mean, the guy was 3rd Marshall of the Riddermark – Theodred was the one groomed for the crown, not Eomer. So, I made it more about him going ‘WHOA THIS IS REALLY. REALLY OVERWHELMING.’ – and then the Gimli scene is his escape from that, heh! (ALSO GIMLI YOU SMOOTHIE. ‘My heart is given to the morning’ YOU SMOOTH SMOOTH BASTARD.)

YEP, THAT’S RIGHT. BOROMIR’S ‘WHITE TOWER OF ECTHELION’ SPEECH. I WENT THERE. I REFERENCED IT. 

(“I would see the glory of Gondor restored. Have you ever seen it, Aragorn?

The White Tower of Ecthelion, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver, its banners caught high in the morning breeze. Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets?”)

BECAUSE BOROMIR. THAT’S WHY. ARAGORN DID NOT EVER FORGET. 

oh you just know Pippin and Glorfindel ended up dancing on the table together at some point. 😀

HEHEHEHEH DAIN. Balin is clever af, but Dain understands people :)))

*ducks* ooohboy. I’m working as fast as I can on the next one! ALSO THERE WILL BE A SONG. I hope a new song makes up for the cliffie! SORRYYYYY NONNIE SORRY. 

*hugs* you are absolutely wonderful – augh thank you SO SO much!!

And speaking of pronouns, flat-out my favorite part of the LOTR Appendices is when it’s revealed that the Gondorian dialect of the Common Speech differentiates between formal and informal second-person pronouns but the distinction’s been lost in the Hobbit’s dialect, so Pippin’s blithely been using familiar terms of address with the Lord of the City, and thus helps to explain both why the Gondorians are so ready to assume he’s a prince and why Denethor finds him so amusing to have around.

not what i expected from a post that began with “speaking of pronouns,” but an a++ show of the versatility and surprise daily available on tumblr dot com

@tozettewrites @determamfidd

I was just reminded why re-reading Sansukh is bad for my heart. Reached the point where the hobbits are asking about who makes dwarves if it’s not dwarrowdams, and Gimli’s chuckling over his plan to tell Bombur and Alris, about Alris being a craftswoman in creating dwarves. I thought ‘they’re going to love to hear that when Gimli finally gets back to the mountain’, and then I went….oh :'(

Me: *grins* heh, thank you Nonnie 🙂

*continues to read*

OH. 

OH YEAH, THAT.

OUCH OUCH THAT – OKAY YEAH OUCH WHOOPS SORRY

@determamfidd I’m suddenly reminded of that post talking about Aussies and our inability to comprehend formal vs. informal pronouns

ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT HOBBITS ARE AUSTRALIAN

“i will take the ring to Mordor… though I’m fucked if I know where it is.”

“Po-tay-toes. Fry ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em on a pie!”

“What about second smoko?”

“I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and the rest of you shit me to tears.”
