Fun fact! All of my fics are named for songs I like, and I made a playlist of them here!

(ignore the last one though, I haven't written it yet)

Bagginshield

Fanmix - Part One

Link to the Spotify Playlist is at the bottom of the post Note: This fanmix was originally posted here, but I am currently in the process of restructuring and reposting all of my playlists!

All This Time (OneRepublic) Take all the time lost * All the days that I cost * Take what I took and * Give it back to you

Keeper Of The Stars (Tracy Byrd) I know I don’t deserve a treasure like you * There really are no words * To show my gratitude

Everything (Lifehouse) You calm the storms * And you give me rest * You hold me in your hands * You won’t let me fall

Taking Chances (Celine Dion) I just wanna start again * And maybe you could show me how to try * Maybe you could take me in * Somewhere underneath your skin

Can’t Pretend (Tom Odell) Feel, my skin is rough, * But it can be cleansed, * It can be cleansed * And my arms are tough, * But they can be bent, * They can be bent

The Reason (Hoobastank) I’m sorry that I hurt you * It’s something I must live with everyday * And all the pain I put you through * I wish that I could take it all away

Harbor (Vienna Teng) You’ve got a journey to make * There’s your horizon to chase * So go far beyond where we stand * No matter the distance * I’m holding your hand

The Wolves and the Ravens (Rogue Valley) I wasn’t yours and you weren’t mine * Though I’ve wished from time to time * We had found a common ground * Your voice was such a welcome sound

In This Life (Collin Raye) For all I’ve been blessed with in this life * There was an emptiness in me * I was imprisoned by the power of gold * With one honest touch, you set me free

Keeping Your Head Up (Birdy) Times that I’ve seen you lose your way * You’re not in control and you won’t be told * All I can do to keep you safe is hold you close * Hold you close till you can breathe on your own

It’s been a while since I posted it and I have some new followers so here’s my (mostly) Bagginshield playlist (with some songs that remind me of lotr sprinkled in)

lol some aus I made up, some headcanons, some ‘canon’ compliant

If anyone wants the reason for any of my song picks just ask it’s one of my favourite things overall about 👀

[velvet4510]

I guess I’m one of those weirdos who so deeply feels the essence of an instrumental leitmotif from a film score associated with a particular character or couple, that I start associating said leitmotifs in my head with ANOTHER character from an entirely different film/book/series. And I’ve built up a whole library of leitmotifs for LOTR characters even though I ADORE Howard Shore’s original score for the trilogy. I consider these leitmotifs to be add-ons, NOT replacements.

Nor do I intend to completely disassociate all of these themes from their intended films/characters; some of them are perfect fits for the films they were written for. It’s just my mind going wild like usual. (But I admit, in some cases, the pieces are from films I dislike, and thus I would rather see these great songs associated with something of LOTR quality rather than what they were actually stuck with, especially when the lack of lyrics gives you the freedom to let the melody take you wherever it takes you, personally.)

In the case of Silmarillion characters and relationships, well, it’s a different story - it really is my attempt to cobble together what could be a hypothetical score, if it were brought to the screen. Obviously it’d never be this exactly, but I would hope a composer for a potential screen adaptation of The Silmarillion might be inspired by themes like these.

In some cases, the characters these themes were originally written for don’t resemble the corresponding LOTR characters very much, or at all. Also some of them have titles that by themselves could not be more different from and unfitting for Tolkien’s world. It’s just the melodies on their own, without context or even name, performed by these gorgeous orchestras, that have come to remind me of particular Tolkien figure(s).

I also have found lots of “love themes”, both romantic and platonic, for character relationships, as you’ll see. I’ve included romantic themes for canonical couples, as well as for pairings that I personally ship. I know Shore already gave Aragorn and Arwen a theme, but as I said, these are all extra additions and not replacements.

And yes I have a lot of Star Wars stuff in here, because I love Star Wars…but I love Tolkien more.

For the heck of it I’ll share some of these, with links to each song on YT. It’s hard to explain why I made these choices/associations, but maybe you’ll get it if you listen to some of them.

* Bilbo & Frodo’s melody is heard in the first minute of the linked track, 0:00–1:01, and again at 1:48. Also, the love theme I associate with Frodo & Sam starts playing at 1:03, making this whole thing fit all the hobbits even better.

THILBO PLAYLIST

I am not sure if I will post Chapter 4 of TWICTB today, so here is a thilbo playlist I made some days ago on Spotify.

I am also thinking about making a playlist specifically for The Way It Comes To Be.

Enjoy :)

[moonlightandpalmtrees]

Genuinely curious to those of you who make fandom playlists. What’s the most out there, “you really have to squint and turn your head to see it” or slightly embarrassing songs on one of your playlists

I’ll go first. On the “you really have to have brainrot to see it” side, I have Guilty as Sin by Taylor Swift on a Holmes/Watson playlist. Also, Tounges and Teeth by The Crane Wives on a Bagginshield playlist.

On the slightly funny or embarrassing side, Criminal by Britney and E.T by Katy Perry on a Garak/Bashir playlist. Im not at all ashamed.

Ask and you shall receive! There is a lot on here, and I'm just...so happy with the vibes each fic playlist brings lolol

As The Tide Turns

The lost treasure of Durin the Deathless has been sought by many and found by none, but to Bilbo Baggins, it’s merely another riddle just waiting to be solved. The self-proclaimed “Deathless” expert finds himself whisked away aboard The Ravenheart, led by the infamous Captain Oakenshield, and the two embark on an unexpected journey to solve one of history’s biggest mysteries.

I made a bagginshield playlist! Give it a listen if you’d like.

[velvet4510]

This is the love theme that I have chosen for Bilbo & Thorin.

When you have 3 minutes to spare, you can start thinking about these two and listen to “their” theme here.

This was really tough for me to search through my library of instrumental pieces from film scores to find something that fit our favorite dwarf/hobbit pairing. I’m sure not everyone will agree with my choice.

This piece is from the great 1947 film The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (highly recommended), composed by the genius Bernard Herrmann.

I know the gentle and slow melody doesn’t fit the fiery tempers of either character. But I picked this as a leitmotif for their relationship, and the main reason is the amount of yearning and unfulfillment in it. It captures that sense of a slow burn doomed by tragedy to never fully blossom.

Mostly, it brings two images to my mind:

(1) Bilbo and Thorin in Lake-town the night before they head for Erebor, looking out and up at the mountain and talking about Thorin’s history there and his dreams for its future.

(2) Bilbo sitting in Bag End, remembering the dwarf he loved and all the things they said with their eyes but never with their words, and telling young Frodo about him.

Hope y’all enjoy. :)

I’m proud to announce that I participated in this year’s THAUC event, hosted by @fellowshipofthefics! It was such an honor to work with @the-girl-with-the-algebra-book who made this wonderful playlist to accompany this fic: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6QWlLCF5FaJlgtLHjrStxo?si=3473efc4127f442e&nd=1&dlsi=5235dc90f3c14055

I hope you all enjoy it and I’m excited about all the things I want to write in the future!

Chapters: 7/7

Fandom: The Hobbit - All Media Types Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield, Bilbo Baggins & Thorin Oakenshield Characters: Thorin Oakenshield, Bilbo Baggins, Balin (Tolkien), Dwalin (Tolkien), Óin (Tolkien), Bofur (Tolkien) Additional Tags: thauc23, Friends to Lovers, Smut, Misunderstandings, Fluff, Masturbation, Oral Sex, Blow Jobs, Hand Jobs, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex, Come Swallowing, Angst, Fluff and Angst, Domestic Fluff, Kinks, Hair-pulling Summary:

Thorin's recovery from the Battle of the Five Armies was a long and arduous one, but there was one little thing that made up for it: a hobbit. While Thorin recovered, he and Bilbo spent a lot of time together, which only solidified the feelings each one had for the other. Once Thorin does heal, both get wrapped up in other things, leading to less time for communication and more time for miscommunication. Will this stubborn pair finally tell each other how they feel, or will their assumptions get the best of them?

Prompts: 1. Bilbo and Thorin are roommates. [Either] comes home to a candlelit dinner thinking [the other] has a date. They had no idea the date was for them. 2. Thorin is forced to choose between a future with Bilbo and the future his people seemingly demand of him.

[whispering-about-bagginshield]

My Bagginshield friends, I wanted to both apologize for not doing it much, much sooner, and let you know that I am currently in the process of editing the final chapter (or chapters, if an epilogue is called for) of Collapse.

I know I have said on multiple occasions that it was not far off, and the last time I said that my intention was fully to do so... but then bad things happened in my life -- things that made the story hit way too close to home -- and I could not bring myself to do it. Some of you may know what I am speaking about, some may not... but suffice to say it has been a hard thing to get over. I am, of course, still not over those events, but in working on the last bits of this story, perhaps I myself can get a little bit of closure.

If you would like to read the story thus far, the link is above, and I also have a fanmix / playlist based around it if you would like to listen:
