The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

(the acorn scene with polish dubbing)

[silmarillionwritersguild]

Tolkien Meta Week is a week-long event to encourage fans to create nonfiction works related to Tolkien's world. Tolkien Meta Week will run from December 8-14, 2024 on Tumblr and here on the Silmarillion Writers' Guild archive.

How to Participate

Tolkien Meta Week is hosted by the Silmarillion Writers' Guild, but we welcome meta about any and all of Tolkien's works. On our archive, the usual rules about "Silmworks" apply, but we will gladly reblog all Tolkien-related content on our tumblr.

You can use one of our prompts or go rogue and do your own thing! As long as it is a nonfiction work related to Tolkien, it is welcome for this event. Note that "meta" doesn't have to be lengthy, finished, or polished. A paragraph describing a wild theory you had suddenly while brushing your teeth is just as welcome as a lengthy, detailed, essay. There are four prompts available for each day of the week. If you want to use the prompts, you can use one, a few, or all of them—your choice! You can also combine prompts from different days.

On the archive, choose Tolkien Meta Week from the Challenge dropdown when you post your work. On Tumblr, tag #tolkien meta week so that we can reblog your work!

The SWG also has a weekly newsletter, and we will include a roundup of Tolkien Meta Week submissions at the end of the event. If you do not wish to be included in the round-up, let the mods know before December 13.

We will not reblog or include meta that violates our Site Etiquette. This includes meta that promotes the idea that some people have more value than others or that insults or belittles other fans.

Make sure to give credit for ideas not your own and ask permission before using or discussing another fan's fanworks as part of your meta.

Prompts

Each day of the event will feature four prompts centered on genre, format, source text, and approaches that range beyond Middle-earth. However, these prompts are entirely optional, and any Tolkien-related meta is welcome for the event!

December 8: theory | infographic | The Silmarillion | the Tolkien fandom

December 9: open letter | podcast/audio | The Lord of the Rings | Tolkien's non-Middle-earth writings

December 10: literary analysis | wiki article | The Hobbit | adaptations

December 11: character study | video | Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth, The Nature of Middle-earth, and The Fall of Númenor | books, articles, and meta about Tolkien

December 12: headcanon | meme | The Three Great Tales: The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien, and The Fall of Gondolin | compare Tolkien to another text

December 13: ship manifesto | personal essay | Tolkien's art | apply real-world disciplines to Middle-earth

December 14: research | list (including link collections) | The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien | Tolkien fanworks (with permission!)

Prompt Definitions

Prompt definitions are provided for informational purposes only. We do not police how creators use our prompts for challenges and take creators at their word if they share a fanwork as part of one of our challenges. In other words, we are not going to be coming behind anyone, arguing that something should be posted because it doesn't fit our particular understanding of a prompt. All that being said, if you read the definitions below and still aren't sure what a prompt means, our mods are here to help!

Genre Prompts

Theory: Share your theories about one of the many mysteries or open questions about Tolkien's work. Unlike headcanons, theory meta uses details from the text rather than original concepts to formulate ideas about the legendarium.

Open Letter: Write a letter to someone, expressing your views on the canon as it relates to them. For example, you could write to a character, the creator of an adaptation, or Tolkien himself!

Literary Analysis: Literary analysis considers what makes Tolkien's work effective as art or literature, considering such elements as imagery, word choice, characterization, structure, and theme. Literary analysis can also consider influences on Tolkien's work, such as mythology, folklore, and other works of literature.

Character Study: Character studies take a deeper look at a character, considering what the texts say and imply about the character's backstory, motives, emotions, personality, and other elements.

Headcanon: Headcanons are your personal interpretations of the texts. They can be grounded in details from the texts but don't have to be. This is the meta where you elaborate on the original elements that you imagine for Middle-earth.

Ship Manifesto: Present the reasons why a particular ship is appealing to you and should be embraced by others.

Research: Share your research on a topic, large or small, in any format, whether your rough notes or a perfectly polished essay or anything in between—or a format totally novel and new!

Format Prompts

Infographic: Present your meta in visual form, using graphics alongside text. Note that while traditional infographics are of course welcome, other formats that combine information + visuals are welcome too.

Podcast/Audio: Record a discussion of a topic or a reading of a work of meta.

Wiki Article: Create or add to a Tolkien-related article on a wiki. (Fanlore is a fandom-specific wiki that is still missing articles on many Tolkien characters, ships, and other topics!)

Video: Share a work of meta in video form.

Meme: When we created this prompt, we had in mind visuals with catchy text that comment on Tolkien. However, the word meme has many meanings and permutations. Any are welcome here.

Personal Essay: Reflect on how Tolkien, Tolkien fandom, or aspects of Tolkien's world have influenced you personally. Note that while this prompt includes the word "essay," any format of personal reflection—video, audio, visual, something else?—is welcome.

List: Make a list of things related to a topic related to Tolkien.

Beyond Middle-earth

The Tolkien Fandom: Create meta about the Tolkien fandom, which is many decades old, vast, diverse, and complex. Note that exploring all aspects of Tolkien fandom—not just the fanworks fandom—is welcome for this prompt.

Tolkien's Non-Middle-earth Writings: Tolkien wrote original stories (like Leaf by Niggle), adaptations (like The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun), translations (like Sir Gawain and the Green Knight), and academic works (like "Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics"). This prompt welcomes meta that engages with these texts.

Adaptations: There have been dozens of films, radio plays, television shows, and games inspired by Tolkien's works. Use one or more of these adaptations to inspire your meta.

Books, Articles, and Meta about Tolkien: People love writing and ruminating about Tolkien. You're considering doing it now or you wouldn't be here! Discuss what fans and scholars have to say about Tolkien for this prompt.

Compare Tolkien to Another Text: Discuss Tolkien alongside another text or texts. Specific texts (like a specific book or movie) are welcome, as are groups or genres of text (such as the fantasy genre or stories that include dragons). Note that when we say "text," we mean that loosely, and you can engage with works in any format, not just books and stories.

Apply Real-World Disciplines to Middle-earth: Take your expertise in a real-world subject and apply it to the people, places, and situations of Middle-earth. This could be an academic or professional discipline (such as volcanology, astronomy, or psychology—all of which have been applied to Tolkien!) or a hobby or more casual pursuit (such as gardening, mushroom foraging, or horses) or anything in between.

Tolkien Fanworks: Write or make a work of meta that engages with Tolkien fanworks—roughly defined as amateur not-for-profit adaptations of Tolkien's works—either specific works or in the general sense. If you are going to discuss specific fanworks, please reach out to the creators first.

I have the feeling that Celebrimbor will only die in the finale, for some reason. He’ll get beat up by Sauron in Ep.7 for sure. In that clip Amazon just released, I bet Celebrimbor is already aware that Annatar isn’t who he claims to be, and he’ll refuse to finish the Nine.

Ok, I know many people in the fandom have this headcanon of Galadriel beating the sh*t out of Sauron and almost killing him in S2 finale, but, I’m sorry, that’s wild. The showrunners seem to agree with me, for what we’ve seen so far. There is no way for Galadriel to overpower Sauron. He’s a ancient demigod created by the Gods, and he’s getting stronger now. Galadriel was only able to banish him to Mordor in “The Hobbit” because Sauron was weak and formless at the time, and it took her all of her strength and magic to do it. Magic she doesn’t yet possesses. She (or any other character) doesn’t stand any chance against Sauron in combat right now. But he doesn’t want to kill her, so he’ll toy with her until he can tempt her. If there is any fatally wounded in this fight is Galadriel (to be saved by Sauron). Quoting the polish reviewer, I would think someone in the production must have fall on their heads if they have Galadriel, an Elf, overpowering a freaking Maia, who’s getting more powerful, in combat.

Many people believe that? Really?? It makes absolutely no sense for Galadriel to beat Sauron in a fair fight, and she herself knows that. She wants to face him because she believes it's her duty now that he's back to business because of her, but she's perfectly aware that he will crush her if he wants.

When he watched her fight in Numenor, he didn't look impressed, and I'd even dare to say he looked slightly amused. She's a great warrior against "regular" enemies like Orcs, but she doesn't stand a chance against Sauron. In season 1, he blocked her arm effortlessly when she tried to stab him the first time. The second time, she ended in the river.

In the trailer he doesn't even have to touch the Elves guards of Eregion to throw them all against a wall. What could Galadriel possibly do against that?

No, when I speculate that she might have the chance to kill Sauron but chooses not to, it will be because he will be distracted. Or he might even provoke her to kill him, because he knows that faced with the choice, she won't do it. But of course this is just me writing my little fanfic here. It will probably not happen this way ;)

[nayialovecat]

Can I get any more hints for the challenge? Perhaps a list of fandoms you like, or a reworded clue?

Ok, it's even a good idea to write down what things I like. Especially since lately I have been often asked to draw something or to make a cross with something that I only know it exists.

I divided the list into categories to avoid any doubts (e.g. BATIM is only in the games category, 'cause I haven't read the books and I don't plan to read them yet, and W.I.T.C.H. in comics, 'cause I hate the animated series).

Polyamory among Tolkien's dwarves

so. the hobbit fandom has this whole thing about dwarves having soulmates, or 'ones', right? and it's sort of canon to tolkien. in the appendix of rotk, he said that dwarves 'marry only once', if at all. but it got me thinking, wouldn't that exclude the possibility of polyamory among the dwarves? well, not necessarily. it never says they only marry one person- it only says they marry merely once... so this idea still needs some polishing and i'll figure out the details later, but just. polyamory in dwarven culture!! dwarves having weddings where they marry more than one person at a time!!

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by @curufiin- thankies <3

How many works do you have on AO3?

Only 8 so far.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

20,718 apparently

3. What fandoms do you write for?

The Silmarillion- it's been an ongoing obsession for approximately 7 years now lol.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Fretting, which is my first ever published fic, is at the top. I'm not super proud of it if I'm being honest but I'm glad others enjoyed it :P Then we've got Inside Out, Unbridled sword and passion, Take a chance and Stutter.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do try to reply to every comment! The fact that someone made time to tell me something nice about my works means the world to me.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably this one? None of my fics are fluffy so...

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

My recent Curufinrod fic, I think? It's less... gnarly and angst-driven?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Fortunately no.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Considering that 6 out of those 8 fics are tagged as explicit, you can draw your own conclusions :P I write various flavours of kink :)

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Nope!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but certain fics that I wrote were inspired by conversations I had with other fandom members :3

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

I'll go with the good ol' Angbang. I've recently become deeply invested in Curufinrod though, and I'll (hopefully) write for more pairings over the Christmas break.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

There's a very old draft of a multi-chaptered Angbang fic that's been gathering dust on my laptop for a year xD I might polish it up and post it at some point IF I find the motivation for it.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I guess I'm fairly good at descriptions and metaphors?

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Good pacing and finding the right balance between dialogue and narration are both pretty tricky for me.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I've never tried this but I find it exquisite in other people's fics :D

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Probably The Hobbit? But what I wrote is between me and god lmao.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

I tend to be very critical of my own works, especially after I post them. I don't really re-read them so it's difficult for me to choose a favourite one when I can't recall half the things I wrote lol. But I was pretty proud of Beyond the pale back when I wrote it! My writing style changed over the years, I believe, so I'm pleased to see the improvement :)

Tagging @polutrope, @crackinthecup, @gardensofthemoon, @havenotwillnotreadthebooks, @i-did-not-mean-to and whoever wants to give this a go!

[leatherbookmark]

☁️🐚🍄🍓(all, or any combination you want) for the fanfiction author ask meme

kissing your hand reverently for the ask etc

☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?

i just like leather bookmarks!! originally lb was a non-kpop sideblog, and i wanted something that wouldn't be fandom-specific (i don't really like changing usernames) but that at the same time would fit my current fandom (the hobbit hehe). so, leatherbookmark!!

as for my ao3 username, oenanthe is a name of two genera: birds and plants, but i took mine from the bird one. specifically, this little guy. i love that the latin name is so pretty (wine+flower) but both english and polish taxonomers went "this bird has a white ass. alright then here you go"

by the way, huh, these arrows are fun! they're not -> but ⇢. they're dashed. cute

🐚 ⇢ do you like or dislike surprises?

oh boy i really don't... i used to when i was a kid, but at this point it's just a source of stress. though like -- depends, because if someone gets me a little postcard or a souvenir that's right up my alley, it's great and i'm happy they thought of me!, but if it's a big expensive gift... yeag

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

fascinated by the separation of ship and pairing here, btw

ohhhh my god i gotta get my fandom brain back in order.

xiyao. what do i think about xiyao? i like to think that in a better world they'd love to Eat. try out different stuff, ranging from "drowning in grease and made by a 78yo uncle who spits into his hands spiritedly before kneading the dough" to... hm. would they go for the "lick the citrus foam out of the plaster cast of the chef's mouth" dining, uh, experience? probably not, but lxc would be amazed and interested, half sincerely and half because he wants to check at what point jgy will go beloved, what the fuck.

but ALSO i think they'd just enjoy meals as a way of spending time together! so whether it's a modern au or not, they whip out the nice tableware, make sure there's a nice plantly being/something decorative on the table, etc. (they don't play music/put on tv in the background because they don't believe in that.)

(all of the above also means their meals take WAY longer than you'd expect, or rather -- as long as they can make them. breakfasts come with dessert now icydk)

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction?

hm!! i think i just... started doing it? when i was a kid and browsing blogs about the witch comic series, i stumbled upon some blogs that weren't like, character profiles and comic arc summaries, but instead basically chaptered fanfiction. and since that, i kind of seeked out people's fics, often more than canon material like scans, databases and such lol.

iirc i started out making comics about my OCs, weird little AUs (like... utena characters, but magical girls/boys lmfao), or "original" comics obviously were just crazy mixes of whatever i was into at the moment. i only started writing fic when i was, idk, ten? and even then it was more like "ough i have a certain scene/image/mood/feeling in my brain and i need to get it Out" than actual stories :')

another thing that hasn't changed until sort-of-very-recently was me just.... starting anew every new fandom. i'd be into fandom X for years, produce tons of fics, and then once i got into fandom Y i was like oh fuck this is all so embarrassing, STARTING A NEW ACCOUNT RIGHT AWAY OR WE DIE. 👍 on one hand cool, on the other i sometimes envy writers who don't have to log into three separate accounts to see all their stats ='D

[daisy-dooodles]

Bookmarks

I went back to reading a little during this time and got the idea of making personalised bookmarks for certain books. I had many ideas, but I only ended up making 3, I still remember what the bigger project was so maybe in the future you'll see it!

the first one I made was for a Polish book since I was trying to get back into my roots a bit and learn a bit better the language. then I moved into fandom territory! and I did the hobbit cause it's just a fantastic world I will never get tired of, and then the series obsession of that time: good omens :D

[castlebyersafterdark]

I wonder how they’re editing the episodes together are they doing it all at once or have some episodes been completed. I mean filming has taken a whole year but I know there are schedule changes and reshoots, so it’s gonna be interesting to see how and when they edit!

Plus I’m really hoping the documentary rumours are true because more bts of the actors and production? Yes please!!

I think the documentary is more than rumor - where did we learn this? I feel like one of the big wigs confirmed it. Either the Bros or Shawn maybe? So excited. It will be an amazing way to hear formalized insight from the creators and actors without the awkward veneer of press interview. They can take time to speak on things, while also capturing natural, candid moments. And have the luxury of the entire show being out so they can talk freely about everything!

And I think that a lot is filmed in sequence while a lot is out of order. Scheduling and set use. They're probably editing as scenes are completed, working on effects, etc, reviewing takes. I'm sure anything with the high school for the entirety of the season was filmed all at once because that actual location has now been demolished. So, those scenes can be in the editing stage you'd think. Not to mention all the green screen and soundstage filming - the vfx team is probably working in tandem. It's clockwork, it's a lot overlapping. Working on score.

This is where I want to learn more about the entire process of making a movie. How does is go from raw footage of actors in a physical environmental to a polished piece. I'm greedy and want two separate docs - the details of making a piece of media and the details of the creative storytelling process.

My first fandom was the Hobbit movies and honestly they gave us soooo much amazing content about both ends of the process. We were spoiled with info for that franchise. The filming diaries, the making of / behind the scenes, the heavily detailed concept art and set and costuming books. Young me started off strong in a fandom soooo rich with involved content. Say what you want about those movies but as a fandom nerd - you couldn't ask for a better intro to this industry for insight on making a movie (and its a TV show but Stranger Things films more movie style than TV show).

[practiceuniversepoet]

Dribs N Drabs Prompts - About

So I've modified a list from an old Fanfic 100 and I'm trying to get back into writing more by doing a minimum of 100 words for at least 60 prompts.

It's going to be a mix of different fandoms and most of it will in some way be an alternate universe or otherwise Canon Divergent. In part because It's been a while since I've read or watched the source material and in part because that's how I enjoy playing with fandom.

Eventually I intend to crosspost all of this to my Ao3 Account.

Fandoms I may choose to write in: Danny Phantom, Magic Kaito/Detective Conan, Jim Henson's Labyrinth, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings/ The Hobbit, Maybe others. Depends on what I feel comfortable with.

Major AUs:

The Danny Phantom Daggerheart: An attempt at world building a Danny Phantom verse using the Daggerheart Open-beta's races and things. It's also a chance for me to play around with anything from tabletop gaming 'cause I've never really been able to and I've always thought it was neat. I'm more of a fanon fan of Danny Phantom, although I have access and will be trying to watch the show again, it's been years since I watched it.

Jazz Masters: An Idea I've been dabbling in which involves a bit of mucking about with timelines for Jazz to be Vlad's daughter. He doesn't even know he's a father and he's terrible at it. I may post what I wrote for it before, but it's all not polished yet.

The prompts are listed below the cut.

Prompts with Green Text are modified or added by me.

Prompts with Red Text are prompts that I initially left off the list because I'm not sure I'm comfortable with them. They've also been moved to the end of the list from their original positions.

Prompts that are Struck Through I've already written for.

Day 15: Boop!

Today's fic for the Writer’s Month 2021 challenge (see @writersmonth for more info) is a request for one of the winners in my latest Majestic Monday sleepover. Hope you'll like it, @justfollowtheroad! Thank you so much 💙

Today's prompt: word: edge | setting: soulmate AU

Imagine living in Erebor at the time of its greatness, with prince Thorin as your... best friend?

Fandom: The Hobbit Relationships: Thorin x Reader Warnings: fluff Rating: G As usual, you can read this fic here and on AO3.

Khuzdul: Mahal - Aule Kaminzabdûna - Yavanna Tahith (endearment) - little giggler Mudtelê - my heart of all hearts

* * *

Boop!

The legend says that Mahal created the Dwarves from the hardest stone in existence to make them the sturdiest of all the races of Arda, but he balanced their nature with the softness of their hearts, pouring love into them. He wanted his children to be as happy as he was with his wife, Kaminzabdûna, so he made two dwarves from each piece of stone. All the seven fathers of Dwarves, including Durin the Deathless, had partners from the very beginning, their soulmates, but it was to be different for their descendants. Each of them had to find their Other Half.

The legend says that when the time is right and their hearts are ready, a mark will appear on the wrists of each couple. It means that on that day they have a chance to discover the identity of their soulmate. Sometimes they would see a glowing aura around their Other Half, sometimes all it took was a touch, other times the world around them would explode with colours, and sometimes they would simply dream of that person. It was different for each couple. If, however, a Dwarf hadn’t found their soulmate on that very day, the mark would disappear forever along with the chances for ever finding your One.

The Great Library was your favourite place in Erebor.

Being surrounded by countless books and scrolls on each and every subject you could think of, by the smell of parchment, herb tea, scented candles and polished wood, was the best feeling in the world. It was not surprising that a bookworm like you would spend as much time as possible in that place. Every evening you would head to the library. This day was no different, with one exception. There was something on your mind and you hoped you could reach the library before Thorin did to gather your thoughts. You would meet him there almost every day if your busy schedules allowed.

Thorin, or as everyone else would call him, Prince Thorin, was your... best friend. Yes, this is how you thought of him. You had been fast friends since before you could remember, and, if you believed what your mothers said, it all began when you were tiny pebbles. Apparently, one day some kid you played with took Mister Prickly from you, the stuffed hedgehog you never parted with.Thorin valiantly rescued your favourite plushie from the kidnapper, even though punching that boy meant a week with no desserts for the young prince. Since then, you had always had each other’s back.

As a kid, you had a few playmates, but no one was as close to you as Thorin and the feeling was mutual. You simply felt best in each other’s company. He was a Dwarf of few words who often seemed too serious for his age due to his duties, and you were a dreamer who sometimes would forget that there was a real world besides the ones you found in your books. Perhaps the reason that your bond survived until now was that you always felt comfortable in each other’s company: you made him smile and forget about his burdens, while he made sure that you spent some time outdoors and was always there for you.

When you reached the library, it turned out that Thorin wasn’t there yet. You sat by the fireplace, on the edge of your favourite armchair and opened a random book, but you couldn’t focus on the words written on its pages. When you thought no one was watching, you uncovered your wrist for a moment. The mark was still there, looking exactly the same as it did when you woke up in the morning. You swallowed nervously. Some dwarves waited for the mark to appear for years after they reached adulthood, and you received yours so incredibly soon after reaching battle age. You often dreamed about this day, wondered who would be your Other Half and what they would look like. There was never any doubt in your mind that you would find that Dwarf immediately. The reality, however, turned out to be different. A greater part of the day had passed, and you still didn’t know how to find them.

The mark on your wrist looked like a hammer and so you spent the day going through all the possibilities in your head. Were you supposed to find your soulmate, your One, in the Engineering Guild? Or maybe in the Forges? Was he a farrier or a carpenter? Or perhaps a member of the elite warrior unit, the Mahal’s Hammer? On the way to the library you even took a short detour and passed through the training grounds and the artisan quarter; you peeked curiously into several armourer’s workshops; you even passed by the southern halls where the stonemasons used their hammers and chisels to carve breathtaking statues from the green-veined stone. There was nothing. No loving glances, no fireworks, no rainbows, no ethereal music.

What would happen if you didn’t find your One on time? Would you be condemned to lead a lonely life, tormented by the thought that you had a chance of happiness and lost it forever?

Thorin’s arrival interrupted your gloomy thoughts. A small smile appeared on your lips as his large frame filled his favourite armchair, next to yours, but he only responded with a nod, his brow furrowed. It seemed that you weren’t the only one who had a lot on their mind.

“Tough day?” you asked, looking at his aquiline profile and the cascades of his damp hair flowing down his broad shoulders clad in a brown rumpled shirt with yellow embroideries.

Thorin grunted in confirmation and tugged at his beard braid, not glancing at you. If you didn’t know any better, you’d say that he was purposefully avoiding your gaze, but that couldn’t be true, could it? To make matters worse, his fingers drummed on the armrest. You know him too well not to notice how upset he was.

“Lots of work at the forges?” you moved along the edge of your seat, slightly towards him.

“Aye. More than I thought,” Thorin spoke solemnly, as if he was delivering grave news to you.

His eyes studied a bookshelf on the opposite side of the room. He rose as suddenly as he appeared.

“I’d better go.”

“Thorin, what is it?” you stood up as well and took a step towards him.

“Nothing of consequence,” he muttered, looking down, still not meeting your gaze. This was more serious than you thought. He was your best friend and you couldn’t stand idly by while he brooded himself into a dark cloud of gloom. Luckily, you knew exactly what to do.

Before he had the chance to move away, you lifted your hand and pressed your finger against the tip of his nose.

“Boop!” It was all you managed to say, because at the same time the world turned upside down for a blink of an eye.

It was as if a hot current passed through you, a tingling sensation that spread throughout your body, wave after wave, its epicentre in the place where your skin touched Thorin’s. You froze. You felt both hot and cold at the same time, your heart was beating as hard as a hammer against the anvil, some strange sweetness uncoiled in your chest, and you felt as if you were floating in the air. This is when his eyes finally met yours and you felt yourself drowning in the twin azure pools of his gaze. A wave of dizziness washed over you, making you sway.

“Tahith…” Thorin murmured huskily, using your childhood nickname that he was always quite fond of. His arms wrapped around you, steadying you, as if you were a ship on a stormy sea and he was your anchor, your rock.

You held on to him frantically, his shirt crumpled in your fists, noticing the rapid rising and falling of his chest.

“Thorin, what is happening?” you gasped, trying to calm yourself down, dizziness still lingering at the back of your mind.

His throat bobbed and then he did something that he had never done before. His forehead pressed lightly against yours and he gently cupped your cheek. And, to your utter confusion, he smiled widely, his previous sadness gone without a trace.

“I cannot believe it myself,” a small chuckle left his lips. “Tahith, is there perhaps a mark on your wrist?”

“I… How do you know?” You mumbled, but then Thorin’s arms encircled you once more. This time he was pressing you against your chest as if he was worried that you would disappear. You heard laughter budding in his chest and hugged him back, simply because it felt like the only thing you wanted to do. Because it felt right. Thorin murmured into your hair, “Oh, Tahith, you are the smartest person I know, do you truly not know what it means?”

Suddenly it all made sense. All those emotions and sensations, your worries, his brooding. This has to be it.

“Thorin, are you saying that…?” you whispered into his shirt.

“My mark… I noticed in the morning,” he spoke with hints of merriment in his voice as he loosened the embrace to look down at you. “At first, I believed it was a cave mole, so I assumed that my Other Half would be a miner. Mahal, I was such a fool! And so I hated that mark, refused to acknowledge what it meant, I did not even visit the mines!”

“Is that why you were so worried?”

“Aye, and so I went to see you, I wanted to tell you,” he whispered feverishly, his eyes searching your face. “But when I saw you in your chair, sitting with your book, those glasses on your cute nose, I simply stood here, cursing my fate, wishing that my mark would change into a book, but it would not…”

“What is it? Show me,” you took his right hand into your hands as he uncovered his wrist. “Thorin, this is not a cave mole at all!”

“I know, Tahith, I know that now,” he chuckled, sparks of merriment dancing in his eyes.

“How on earth could you confuse Mister Prickly with a cave mole?! I’m deeply offended!” You huffed, faking indignation, while your heart secretly welled with joy.

“I hope both you and Mister Prickly will forgive me one day,” he flashed his teeth at you in a mischievous smile. This was the Thorin you admired the most and, now you finally could admit it to yourself, you adored. You couldn’t stop yourself from giggling.

“What about your mark, Tahith?” he asked, placing his hand over your forearm.

“I spent an hour in the southern halls, staring at the stonemasons at work. By now, they probably think I’m some kind of a creep. I’m never showing my face there again and I don’t want to talk about it ever again. Besides, there is a lot of stone dust in my hair,” you grunted, uncovering your wrist.

“A blacksmith’s hammer! But it is certainly not a stonemason’s tool! Look at the heft, and the profile of the head, the surface…” he started explaining enthusiastically, a true blacksmith’s apprentice. His masters would be so proud of him if they could see him now. Unfortunately for them, they weren’t here, their loss. You had Thorin all for yourself and there was something urgent you needed to do; something you secretly dreamed of, but never dared to act upon it until today.

“Thorin,” you gently interrupted his lecture, trying to ignore the nervous fluttering in your stomach. “If it all means what I think it means, then… Shouldn’t we do something?” A moment of silence.

“Aye, we should. If you would like to, that is,” Thorin stepped from one foot to another, taking your right hand, the one with the mark, into his. Was it the light from the fireplace or were his cheeks above his beard slightly flushed?

“I… I think I would like to,” you admitted quietly, your voice trembling slightly.

He gave you a nod and slowly lowered his face towards yours. Your nose bumped against his and you giggled, but Thorin wouldn't give up so easily. He tilted his head, not letting go of your hand.

When his lips brushed against yours, that sweet dizzying sensation filled you once again, but this time you were prepared and held onto him, wrapping your arms around his neck, sealing your newfound love with a tender kiss that made you both forget the whole world around you.

“That was…” you murmured when your lips parted and your eyes met. You noticed that there was a new softness in Thorin’s gaze, something that had never been there before; or perhaps something that you had not noticed earlier. A flower of deep affection for the Dwarf in front of you bloomed in your chest and you realized it wasn’t the first one nor the last.

“... yes. Very much,” he agreed with a deep rumble in his chest and brushed his nose against yours. “Your lips are as sweet as honey, Tahith.”

“And your beard tickles,” you replied with a chuckle, pressing your forehead against his. “But I think I like it.”

“You’d better, because you are my One,” he brushed his fingers against your cheek. “And I am afraid that you are stuck both with my beard and me for the rest of our lives.”

“It sounds like a very good plan, Mudtelê,” you whispered and your hearts sang in joyous unison as your lips met again.

Chapter Two

Chapter One

In a house at the end of the main street of Bree there lived a woman. In fact, many women lived here, and many men visited, perhaps even considered it their second home. A group of women exited the establishment, linking arms their laughter flittered into the air as they strolled down into the Prancing Pony. Entering the bustling inn for the evening many of the younger, lesser dressed girls began to float around the room showing off what they had to offer, if paid well.  The one who stood out amongst them headed straight to a single stool, off to the side of the bar she had to leap using her arms to push up to make the height.

“Evening Arabelle.” The bar maid smiled as a little bit of ale sloshed over the edge of the jug as it was placed down.

“Evening Hilda.” The women smiled as their faces drew nearer for conversation “I dealt with that unsettled tab of our friends.” She slid the cash over the counter, Hilda smiling and placing the funds aside.

“I hear a group of dwarves entered town today.” Hilda commented as she polished some jugs, her drinking companion stopped mid sip to raise an eyebrow pushing Hilda to continue “Thirteen of them and a wizard! Ain’t ever seen so many, be good for business I reckon.”

“I hope you have bought up some extra barrels if what I am to know is true.” Arabelle continued to drink. Whatever else she was about to say was cut short as a parade of dwarves began to pile into the bar, loud creatures they summoned for a round of the finest ale to be bought to the table. Both women struggled to hold back their smiles as Hilda moved to get the ‘good’ stuff from the back.

“Be sure to charge double for that.” Arabelle winked as Hilda laughed, a cough from behind pulling her attention away.

“Miss, was hoping to give you this.” The man offered out his hand which had some coins tucked in it “Sorry been so late but appreciate your help escorting my family the other day.”

“No need to apologise, enjoyed their company. Tell Marie I said hello.” Arabelle smiled and turned back to her drink, putting the extra money behind the bar for she was sure to spend it here.

“Oi I told you to keep your money.” Hilda hissed as she finally returned from serving the still noisy group of dwarves, Arabelle ignored her as she scanned the group carefully. They seemed jovial, splashing around their drinks as they cheered and laughed. They had money to spend as she noted finer travel clothes, many of them wore rings and what Arabelle assumed were jewels in their hair. She felt her mouth pull down as her eyes observed the weapons, each of them carried at least one, though not uncommon in these parts she didn’t like a large group of armed men.

“Bit hairy for me personally.” Hilda smirked as she too had apparently been checking out the group of men, though seemingly for a different reason. “Plus, far too short for me.”

“I dunno they have their charm, especially the ones at the end there.” Arabelle’s eyes fell to what she figured must be the younger of the group, one’s blonde hair and beard has multiple little braids and he had at least three weapons she could see. The others darker beard was short if anything compared to all the others though his smile screamed trouble. He was smiling and looking at her. They both were. Shit.

“Hey Arabelle, we are heading back for the night.” A young woman jumped between her and the dwarves which were definitely looking in their direction, of course Jessalee had this effect on most men.

“I’ll finish my drink and head back soon. Be sure to give a nod to our rich dwarven friends on the way out.” Arabelle said as they shared a knowing smile.

“Looks like you won’t have to work too hard, here comes one now.” Hilda nodded behind them as Jessalee pushed back her hair, puffed out her chest and twirled around with a grace that Arabelle noted she could never possess. The women she surrounded herself with, all beautiful with slender bodies and curves in all the right places, she had once hated women like them but over time she had found herself to truly enjoy their company. Yet as she looked to her reflection in her ale, she allowed herself a moment of pity for the face that stared back, but only a moment.

“Two of whatever the lady is drinking.” Arabelle smirked a little, trust Jessalee to have a man hooked and buying her drinks in a matter of minutes. “Wine. She drinks wine.” Arabelle said as she gave a little side eye to the blonde dwarf that had come up to take the spare spot beside her; by the stars he was handsome, also it was four weapons.

“Really cause that looks like ale to me.” The dwarf spoke as a matter of fact and Arabelle near covered poor Hilda head to toe as she spluttered out the contents of her mouth.

“Are you flirting with me?” Arabelle choked down the remainder of her drink as she turned to look at the now stunned dwarf, his face getting redder by the second.

“I’m sorry that was actually my brothers pick up line.” The blonde stammered motioning back to the table where the younger brunette dwarf sat staring at them with a gleam in his eyes and a grin that near split his face in two. And while the blonde continued to mumble more words Arabelle’s eyes drifted from his brother to the two late comers to the group of dwarves. The wizard, Gandalf the Grey, Arabelles face twitched into brief disapproval before she saw who walked behind him.

“Bilbo?” She spoke the words as her brain processed what she was seeing, Bilbo Baggins was in Bree.

“No. His name is Kili.” The blonde interjected as he followed the young woman’s eyes and while her voice had not been loud, she was loud enough for the keen ears of the hobbit.

“Belle?” He locked eyes with her

“Bilbo!” “Belle!” The two met mid-way, bodies colliding into each other for an embrace neither knew they needed.

“It has been too long.” Bilbo said as they finally pulled apart, Arabelle looking slightly guilty for she knew it was her own fault for the time between meetings and yet this was not the place to talk about such things. She was keenly aware of the rather large group of eyes staring at them.

“How are you?” She asked as her own eyes inspected the hobbit; his clothes were in keen need of a wash.

“I am good, in fact I am travelling-“ Bilbo was rudely interrupted by some not so subtle coughs and as they looked up to the group of dwarves Arabelle noted Bilbo shift uncomfortably under the firm stare of the largest of them. His blue eyes boring into Bilbo, Arabelle settled for a stare twice as unnerving as she moved her body to be between them.

“Bilbo how long are you in Bree for?” She asked in a hushed tone. “We leave morning after next.” He answered.

“You are safe for tonight?” She didn’t look back as a few dwarves voiced their displeasure at the implications of her statement. “Yes. Yes, I am fine.” Bilbo hushed her concern.

“Good, meet me here tomorrow morning at ten.” She smiled as Bilbo nodded, they embraced briefly before she stood, levelled one final glare at the dwarven leader and left; leaving a blonde haired dwarf with two ales and a rather sad expression.

MASTERLIST

MAKE A REQUEST — read before making a request

WHO AM I?

And why should you bother to care about me and my writing?

My name's Atlas and I'm an unlabeled non-binary idiot who uses they/he pronouns. I consider my sexuality to be very fluid in its nature — I like who I like, no matter the person's gender identity. So, for now, I identify as unlabeled <3

Sneaking in the unlabeled and non-binary flag because I'm proud and they make me happy (I'm also questioning if I'm aromantic and asexual but that's for another time lol).

I use fiction as an escapism mechanism for my reality and that is mainly by using comfort character and kins. And me being the person I am I need to feel myself interact with these characters, which I do through my writing. The point is I'm lonely and I need to compensate that by inserting myself with my favorite characters. I use insults as my way to show affection and am very partial to the enemies / rivals trope.

WHAT I LOVE:

obsessing over Six of Crows and the film's cast

everything about Dead Boy Detectives

dark academia & grunge aesthetic

dark weather — e.g fog, rain, storms

the Marauders

writing and annotating in books

sketching

archery & knives

morally grey characters

insults as flirting, banter & enemies / rivals to lovers trope

masculine euphoria — often caused by skater clothes, rings, tattoos, black nail polish

plants, woods and greenery

These things sometimes vary and change from time to time, but these are some of my favorite things / comfort things right now.

FAVORITE FANDOMS:

Dead Boy Detectives

Six of crows

The Marauders

Lord of the Rings / Hobbit

Marvel

Star Wars

The Maze Runner

Sherlock

Stranger Things

I mostly enjoy gender neutral and male fics — mainly because of my constant dysphoria and my little non-binary heart who loves to be perceived as a guy. So if you happen to come upon any good male reader fics, SEND THEM MY WAY AND I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER.

I like my writing, but tend to be very critical towards it and procrastinate — and I often do not finish what I've started writing. That's why I need you, my darling reader, to help keep me motivated and focused. Your encouraging words mean everything to me!

Thank you for letting me rant a little about myself, and if you feel like ranting about yourself or talking don't hesitate to send me a message! This blog is a safe space for everyone, no matter what (well except if you're a sexist, racist or homophobic ofc lol).

Bye xx
