“She hasn’t called me Papa for thirty years,” Bombur said in a faint little voice. “I was Dad or Adad, she called me… after the Quest, after the money…” “She didn’t need to, did she?” Bifur pointed out. “You’ve always been Papa.” “But it all changed, we all changed so much.” Bombur pulled a little at his looped braid. “We… she got taught to speak more proper, and stopped calling me Papa.” “Looks like she never stopped where it counted.” Bifur turned back to his cousin, and gently rubbed Bombur’s back.

This is for all the unsung fic writers; the ones who don’t make the must-read lists, the ones who don’t get recced, the ones who don’t get hundreds of kudos, the rarepair writers out on the peripheries of fandom, the ones who toil away quietly for the handful of people who read and love them. You matter – you’re a writer too, and don’t you ever forget it. 🙂
