The Durins Live

Happy Birthday, my friend! Based on my (still limited) knowledge of your specific likes, I know for sure you wouldn't mind more Durin to brighten your day! <3 I hope you like it and that you enjoy a wonderful new year of life! The Durins enjoyed many, many more years of happy living, as we who "in the know", know.

Hello!!! Hi! Hey. So, I am going to post a story within the month!!! Woo! I know, crazy. Unfortunately, it is not a Tony Stark story. I know a lot of you are here for the man, that is Mr. Stark. But I put so much pressure on myself to update that I needed to stretch my wings elsewhere before coming back to a WIP. I'm working on a Thorin/reader one shot... maybe two. A lil bit of after the battle angst/love story! But a HEA! And I should have it done within the month! I hope you'll stop by to read it on AO3 when it's done and keep your fingers crossed that this strikes the match under my simmering motivation! Love you!!!

Here's a lil something something for you!

"Love in the Dark"

Coming home to Erebor after the war, Gimli goes through the torturous ordeal of telling his King and his people what he has found in Khazad-dûm.

i’ve seen gimleaf fics where they each try to find out how to court by the other’s traditions. and i love those, so i think they ought to be taken a step further. and i think the way to do that would be, naturally, to make bagginshield real. allow me to explain why. ahem. after the ring is destroyed, girlfailure legolas spends two weeks poring over The Ancient Texts and stressing because his one (1) friend who WOULD help him (that’s aragorn) knows jack shit about dwarves beyond the surface (no pun intended) (well gandalf knows things but gandalf is a bitch) (he would just smile at legolas knowingly and wish him good luck instead of giving him answers).

so alas, girlfailure “shit tier ass elf” legolas is left to like, idk, sulk or something in the garden he starts at the Bestie Residence in minas tirith. and after like 2 days sam’s had enough he’s like “dude your vibes are upsetting the plants.” and legolas is like “my bad bro. it just seems i know nothing about dwarves which i probably should’ve thought about before, by elf standards, getting hitched in vegas.” and sam is like “oh dwarves? just ask mister frodo ^_^ he knows tons about dwarves!” and legolas is like “what the shit? him in particular? why does he anything about dwarves?” and sam leans in reaaaalllllll close and whispers behind his hand, “well you see mister elf, mister legolas, sir, there’s always been a very healthy amount of rumors that go around in the shire about mister frodo’s uncle, mister bilbo, and the letters he used to exchange with a certain king under the mountain.” and legolas, who was THERE, is like

Just reread The Hobbit 😩 and I stand by my opinion:

📣 Bilbo would have stayed in Erebor if Thorin didn’t die 📣

[meteors-lotr]

Thorin cooks Bilbo a meal as a type of thank you for the help and he refuses to take any gold or anything but the lad really loves food so let’s give him that, and he presents it to Bilbo all excited but Bilbo doesn’t eat anything he just stares at like the three course meal that’s in front of him and Thorin gets super nervous because oh no is it bad I’m so sorry Bombur prepped me for like a month for this don’t hobbits eat everything did I somehow manage to cook something that even a hobbit won’t consume oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck but Bilbo isn’t even noticing his panic because his brain is trying to catch up to the fact that Thorin just proposed to him

Currently on a mission to save Boromir and the Durins in SotWK-verse.

The Crazy Plot Chicken (CPC) that lays Idea Eggs in my chaotic writer's brain is hard at work today, advising me how I can defy Professor Tolkien revise book canon so that Boromir and the Durins (Thorin, Kili, and Fili) survive and live on in the SotWK universe and timeline.

Normally, I pride myself on being "canon compliant". In starting out "Sons of the Woodland King", I had planned on following the plots of LOTR and The Hobbit as closely as possible. I try very hard to fit my headcanons and original characters and concepts into Tolkien's world they way he wrote and intended for it to be. (Which is why I am just terrible at Modern AU and crossovers.)

However, I love my friends who love Boromir, and I love my friends who love the Durins, more than I care about being canon-compliant. I would like to build a world where they can happily read about their beloved blorbos living their best lives to ripe old ages. I refuse to kill these beautiful men, and if I can grab the opportunity to save them, why not?? Happy endings for the canons!

I will save all the tragedies and "realistic" angst for the Thranduilions, because letting personal OCs suffer is totally just what writers do. Hehe.

Now that I am expanding my LOTR story repertoire to more characters, I am very excited to weave Boromir/Gondor/Men and Thorin/Durin's Sons/Erebor into the tapestry of Thranduil/Legolas/Mirkwood! Middle-earth races unite!

I am looking forward to crushing the Woodland Realm's reputation for being selfish and isolationist, and of Thranduil being cold and ruthless, once and for all.

I had this thought awhile back but Thorin is not popular amongst the dwarves (he only got 13 of them to follow him), and Bilbo is not popular amongst hobbits (the loner bachelor of Bag End). So I really need Bilbo in Erebor/Reshirement fics where they thrive in each other’s societies.

Bilbo was born to be Consort under then mountain, and everyone loves him! The Council appreciates his polite but firm negotiation tactics and this hobbit has a good head for business. And the people love how friendly and personable he is every time he comes to market. They don’t see many royals who remember their mother’s favorite caserole recipe after all. And by extension, Thorin gains popularity because he can’t be all bad if he managed to land such a little charmer.

Likewise, I need hobbit wives tripping over themselves to get to the forge to see the tall, silent, stunningly beautiful new blacksmith and did you hear he used to be royal? How did Bilbo Baggins land that hot piece of ass? And of course Bilbo has made him so nervous over all the different rules in hobbit society that most of the time Thorin merely nods and smiles at him, and isn’t that cute? He’s shy. So they naturally take him under their wing, inviting him to afternoon teas to fatten him up, and Thorin thinks all Shire food is amazing so he’s quick to offer up his compliments on their cooking which nearly sends them swooning. And of course the male hobbits want to be jealous, but Thorin is fair in price and his work is immaculate and he wears Bilbo’s flowers proudly so he’s certainly not straying from Master Baggins, he’s just very charming and they can’t begrudge him that.

Like Bilbo and Thorin should make each other better. And certainly it doesn’t have to be “everyone loves them and there’s never any problems”, but I just feel like it should be a deal of “FINALLY! I’ve been a duck out of water for so long and this is clearly where I belong.”

Dís and Thorin actually should look really similar and so when Dís comes to Erebor, Bilbo sees her in the halls and says "hello darling🥰" bc he doesn't realize at first glance that it's her ☠️☠️☠️

And she's super fucking confused but just assumes it's a hobbit thing, and then like. 5 minutes later when Bilbo is doing whtvr he's doing, he just. Thinks. And then. Realizes.

And freaks the fuck out and tries to find her cuz "oh my god yeah, Thorin said his sister was coming soon how could I be so stupid oh my god I must look insane I hope I didn't offend her-"

And Dís and Thorin are just talking and catching up and Bilbo walks in super embarrassed and Dís greets him with a "Hello darling🥰" bc she assumes it's hobbit customs to say that.

Now Thorin is confused and Bilbo freaking tf out bc he thinks he's being made fun of and Dís is just sorta. Chilling and having a great time

[chyarui]

Thorin Oakenshield man. The hobbit trilogy is pretty mid but DAMN. Saying this as a lesbian, Thorin is fineee

And Bilbo is a very lucky Hobbit ;)

[verkomy]

an illustration inspired by @lordoftherazzles’ beautiful fanfic (tumblr/ao3) that made me fall in love with thorin in suspenders and now it’s my new favorite thing! go read it now, go go go!

[thechaoticfish]

i really love the idea of terms of endearment being food-themed in hobbit culture so hear me out

Bilbo referring to Thorin as his blueberry pie?? or literally anything with blueberry at this point, since, you know Thorin usually wears blue clothes, has blue eyes and is kind of associated with this beautiful dark blue colour
