    Summary

    In Middle-earth, there is a common misconception that because Hobbits are small, their tolerance for vice must be equally diminutive. This is a fallacy that has led many a sturdy Man and stout Dwarf into a very deep, very regretful slumber. Hobbits live lives centered on the celebration of the senses. Their bodies are built like high-performance furnaces, fueled by seven meals a day and a metabolism that operates at a frequency most other races would find exhausting. To a Hobbit, a pint of ale is essentially liquid bread, and they consume it with the same casual frequency that a Dwarf might consume water from a mountain spring.

    Summary

    5 times Pippin called Aragorn "Strider!" when he shouldn't, and the one time he didn't (or a 5+1 Aragorn & Pippin gen fic plus a bonus and an epilogue because I had to make it hurt more and then make it all better)

    Summary

    Gimli spotted Tauriel from time to time, though he’d never spoken to her. He’d no wish to. He’d resented her presence for so long, glaring every time he saw her, biting back the urge to shout at her to go away, to leave his people be. Gimli wanted to rage and fight, to demand she leave his family alone; they were his, not hers. Never hers. Never an Elf’s. He’d so badly wanted to take her to task for besmirching his beloved cousin’s honour even now, so long after Kíli was gone.

    He’d been furious every time he saw her at Kíli’s grave; it felt like she was stealing his time with his kin, for he could not even visit Fíli or Thorin while she was with Kíli. Not comfortably. He couldn’t talk to them with her there, so he always stormed off in anger and waited for her to leave. He was always happy to see the back of her.

    Until now, until now that he finally understood. Now he was sorry to have missed her.

    *

    When all is said and done, the Fellowship have tombs to visit in Erebor. Gimli has a lot to reflect on regarding his lost cousins.

    In particular, the romance he's only recently come to understand between Kíli and Tauriel.
