Hebra comic, you say? I am all ears.

YAY! wip ask game!

The Hebra comic was one installment of a RWTM slice-of-life/ monster-of-the-week-esq fan comic that revolved around Zelda, Link, and Jeweled traveling to Hebra to investigate ice wizrobes.

( I only got as far as some preliminary panel Sketches/Dialogue and i drew it around the beginning of 2022 before TOTK came out)

It mainly explored how the relationship between the three characters had evolved after the main fic storyline. Jeweled and Zelda having a friendly rivalry about monster knowledge. (rough panels below)

and Zelda calling Jeweled “sappy" (for Link).

Jeweled is unfamiliar with the term so he denies it

He then makes goo goo eyes at Link when the Hylian takes out a Hebra Rhino with one arrow and gifts Jeweled the head. Zelda smirks :3.

Something something. Jeweled and Link almost freeze to death. Zelda gets kidnapped by wizrobes who telepathically communicate with her via magic about a problem they're having. Beedle is probably the culprit somehow.

Maybe he took all their ice rods to re-sell.

Orrrrrrr... its revealed the ice rods are shards of a larger crystal that's integral to the wizrobes and the cold enviornment in Hebra, which got taken or damaged.

I like the idea that these little monster vigniettes follow the themes established in the fic, that these creatures/beings are far more complex and integral to their ecosystem than hylians initially believe. There's a whole other world happening.

Other fun highlights from this spin-off comic universe included...

Hyrule castle getting a bokoblin Librarian ( she has a crush on Zelda)

Jeweled learning to read Hylian. Zelda pulls him into her book club.

And Kass starting a Monster Band.

The Chu Chu keeps perfect tempo.

One of the greatest sins Nintendo ever commited was removing Kass from the sequel Game.

There were also lizalfos pirates in this universe. ( BEFORE TOTK came out lolol)

BTWS people are more than welcome to expand upon this Idea. Goodness knows I have way too much on my own plate LOLOLOL.

Jailbreak - The Hobbit - Thorinsmut (FormlessVoidbeast)

Dwalin didn't expect to meet another Dwarf while attempting to smash his way out of a flimsy Mannish prison, but Nori is friendly and seems to have a plan, so he's game to stick around and wait for a good escape opportunity. Of all the people in all the world that Nori ever expected to share a prison with, Dwalin son of Fundin was way down at the bottom of the list. However, never let it be said that Nori wasn't adaptable. He could definitely improvise to take advantage of the situation.

Anybody still read Nwalin around here?

Five Tolkien Fics To Start You On Your Queer Journey Through Middle Earth

When it comes down to it, the world of ao3 and its other fan fiction counterparts can be a confusing place to navigate, especially for us Tolkien fans, so I have taken it upon myself to create this one stop destination for a starter pack of fan fiction (specifically queer) for the beginners in this world to enjoy! You'll get the hang of it eventually, but for now here are five fics, in no particular order, that you absolutely must read.

1. Sansûkh by determamfidd

|| teen - 578k - completed ||

The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

Notes: Let’s be real, if you’ve been in this particular circle of hell you’ve most definitely read this fic, but don't hate me for recing it first. It’s a lovely thilbo and gigolas combo that just has all the feels. Ofc there are other ships, but they’re all written beautifully. If you’re new to gigolas or thilbo you *must* read this fic. It’s practically mandatory, and if you don’t read it now you’ll read it later and regret not reading it sooner. I swear to Yavanna, just read it!

2. Love Always, Yours Forever by butterflyslinky

|| teen - 7k - completed ||

Tauriel, Fili and Kili pull a prank on Gimli and Legolas, who respond in kind. Things go a little too far.

Notes: This fic is a personal favorite of mine. You might even call it a guilty pleasure of sorts. While it does feel kinda cracky at the beginning (not that I mind), it'll have you sobbing by the end. I revisit this fic almost every other week. BTW it's gigolas and kiliel, and there might be a smudge of bagginsheild, but not enough for it to be mentioned in the tags.

3. I Can See You Through the Flames by LittleLynn

|| explicit - 62.4k - completed ||

When Bard Bowman manages to get a job tutoring a young boy at Mirkwood Hall, he and his children move to the strange and dark estate. It does not take long for him to realise that there is something hiding amidst its walls and behind the blank mask of its mysterious lord. Despite his gut warnings that something is not as it seems, he still cannot help the foolish way that he falls for his lord and employer.

Notes: I adore this fic and I'll gush about it in just a sec, but first things first. This fic is barduil centric (bard/thranduil) and I know that that (that being Thranduil) isn't everybody's cup of tea, but I promise that if this fic doesn't make you adore him, nothing will. I personally consider barduil to be one of my Tolkien otps (up there w/thilbo and gigolas), so please, if you don't like it just move on. But.... if you're open to the idea I highly recommend this fic as an amazing starting point. Features Frerin, Thorin, Dis and them a little bit, and tiny Legolas is magnificent. It's written based upon some book, but it's totally readable without having read it. Jane Eyre, I think.

4. Smell the Sea and Feel the Sky by Thorinsmut

|| explicit - 65.7k - completed ||

Captain Dwalin - a privateer for the Crown - is in love with beautiful, sweet, innocent Lady Norine.

His main rival (whom he is most definitely not in lust with) is the cockiest little man he ever met - Captain Vulpes, a pirate with a fast mongrel of a ship and a bad habit of stealing his targets out from under his nose.

...it's going to take him a while to realize they're the same genderfluid person.

Notes: Bear with me on this one, but it's a deep au (if you haven't caught on yet, I'm fond of AU's). This one has Nori/Dwailin and is a Pirate!Au with genderfluid!Nori which, especially since I'm genderfluid, I adore. Tbh this is one of my favorite fics, especially for a ship I usually only do as a side pairing. It's written beautifully, although it's a little bit more on the mature side so if heavy themes revolving sexual content aren't you're thing, I might advise you to go for one of the other fics on this list first. But seriously, this is amazing in all of the ways.

5. An Unexpected Addition by karategal

|| teen - 88.9k - completed ||

All of the dwarves survive the Battle of the Five Armies, but Bilbo must return to the Shire to sort out his old life and make way for a new one in Erebor. Over one year later, Bilbo comes back to the Lonely Mountain with a recently orphaned Frodo. King Thorin isn't quite sure what to make of this new, tiny addition to his Company.

Notes: This one has to be my absolute favorite "Frodo comes to Erebor fic", and let me tell you that there are a shitload of them (not that I'm really complaining). It's just perfectly written and characterized and the thilbo is magnificent. And just asifehihifhgh I can'tttt. It's so good. At this point I don't think I need to say much, but this is the perfect start for reading thilbo and no one can convince me otherwise.

A couple more things as this rec list comes to a close. I hope these five fits do well to start you on your gay Tolkien journey, but be forewarned, Tolkien fanfics are almost always novels. Right now that might now be your thing, if you've read fics before and are coming from another fandom, but I promise you if you give the long ones a chance they'll sway you. I used to only go for one shots but now I read these novel length stories like they're nothing. When it's written well long stories are the best. That's all for now ig, see ya tomorrow!

“Only when the light from the street lamp outside the window fell on a narrow face with a strong handsome nose, when Dwalin saw a faint smile cross thin lips and the flash of pale fingers picking Dwalin's purse from his dresser without the faintest jingle of the coins and aglets within, did he realize the stranger was not a dream. They were a thief..." 

My art from chapter 1 of Harpaxophilia, my fic collab with @thorinsmut! It’s been in the works for a while and we’re excited to share it at last. Go give it a read!

[shakespeareaddict]

hey just wondering but are you just going through your favorite tags or something? how have you gone from like. shipping dwarves to that one dude from the fantasic beasts and where to find them like where do you get this stuff why does it exist??? not tryna be rude just like. dude. why do you ship nori and,,, dwalin??

Yes I am going through tags! (I also just went through a Star Trek blog and reblogged a shit-ton, so…whoops.)

As to why I ship Nori/Dwalin…I just like the whole guardsman/reformed criminal dynamic I guess? That’s how it started anyway, but there’s a really great community out there and they’ve got some great stuff and I really like the dynamic which fanon has given them (esp. in fics by BlueSparkle and Thorinsmut).

Also I read a bunch of great fics on ao3 with them and fell into the ship. (The fic that started it was probably Growing Dwarves by Lumelle, which is mostly Bagginshield (and Fili/Ori and Kiliel) with a Nori/Dwalin subplot. It is fantastic.)

The Fantastic Beasts stuff was reblogged from this one blog I found while I’d lost my password to this account, so I hadn’t had a chance to reblog it yet and went a lil’ overboard.

Thanks, @rupzydaisy for tagging me!

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favourite authors!

Favourite Opening Line:

Niklo expected it to feel like fire, like a sunburn eating at his skin, but it’s only a roiling nausea, weakness, dizziness overtaking him in waves as he stumbles out of the darkness of the tunnel to the waiting aid shuttle, another small body slung across his shoulders. - "Deep in My Bones, Straight From Inside" The Old Guard, multiple pov

I really like the descriptive, lyrical quality of this for something so objectively awful (nuclear radiation exposure)...

Patterns:

A lot of my opening lines are quite short, mood-related as much as scene setting. I tend to work linearly, so many of them are (a variation on) the first inspiration I had for the story. And, obviously, there's a whole lotta Old Guard going on.

My sister’s children do her honor. - "Poetry for the Homesick" The Old Guard, Joe pov

Niccolò was told many times that he was a greedy child. - "Gluttony" TOG, Nicky pov

The thing is… The thing is that Scorpia’s really good at fighting. - "Meditations on Fighting" She-ra and the Princesses of Power, Scorpia pov

Joe’s the one who catches her. - "More Than What You Can Do" TOG, Nile pov

Nile pulled down her mask to gulp lukewarm water, then tucked it back up over her nose and sanitized her hands. - "Deep Freeze" TOG, Nile pov

“And that’s why Andy shouldn’t go to Canada for the next fifty years until the chance of positive ID drops,” Joe finished. - "Travel Restrictions" TOG, 3rd person pov

They make things, Nile notices. - "A Gift Given in Secret", TOG, Nile pov

There is a hum in Niccolò’s ears as he comes back in, like a beehive. - "A Reflection Bereft, Not Dark" TOG, alternating Nicky & Joe pov

Sera cackled, pounding Adaar on one muscled shoulder as Dorian slid into the seat across from them in the Herald's Rest. - "An Unfortunate Incident" Dragon Age Inquisition, Dorian pov

Agatha had never enjoyed the original decor of her bedroom. - "Agatha Heterodyne and the Bedroom Routine" Girl Genius, Agatha pov

Andy had bought meat. - "In Which Andromache the Scythian Ruins the Kitchen and Niccolò di Genova has a Good Day Anyway" TOG, Nicky pov

The sons of Fundin volunteered to scout around the first camp they made after leaving Hobbiton. - "It Is a Wise One That Admits the Truth" The Hobbit, 3rd person, Balin, & Dwalin pov

Above the quarry, the Them have The Tree. - "A Tree With Strong Roots" Good Omens, Wensleydale pov

Lykon gasps, reviving, which cracks his parched lips. - "Waking Isn't Hard" TOG, Lykon pov

Niccolò is, to Yusuf’s mind, the nearest a human can be to a feral cat. - "Brisking About the Life" TOG, alternating Joe & Nicky pov

TZ-1719 was here. - "TZ-1719 Was Here" Star Wars, Finn pov

"Here," Joe said, passing over an ID and a handful of credit and membership cards. - "A Suit of Armor in Which To Battle the World" TOG, Nile pov

Nicky stands on stone, the cool of the slate making his toes curl even as a bead of sweat slides down the inside of his forearm from below his linen sleeve, following the vein. - "The Quiet Scorches Still" TOG, Joe pov

Bofur curled into the smallest possible crack in the rock, clamped his ears between his knees and his hands over the back of his neck, and breathed until the crashing rumble of the orc army was no longer a sound so large it made up the entire world. - "The Orcs Go Marching" Hobbit/LotR, Bofur pov

Tagging @notfromcold, @burritosong, @wheremermaidsdwell, @kitty-dorkling, @rubynye, @intosnarkness, @saviobriion, @pasiphile, @degenizidje, @thorinsmut… Feel free if you wanna.

Dwalin probably wouldn't have owned a bed tray if his grandparents hadn't left one in the house when he inherited it. He wiped the dust from it, and set it up on the table to load up with Nori's breakfast. Tea and fruit and cream and syrup, and a big stack of waffles, made a very attractive tray. Dwalin piled his up on a plate, dressed them just as he liked with extra syrup and fruit, and carried both into the bedroom.

“Feather Fall” Chapter 9, the Nwalin wing AU with writing by @thorinsmut and art by me. I kind of forgot to post the art, but there’s an update! Dwalin’s feeling better and Nori is a sleepy mess in this one

[dmitri-logan]

Going feral because I cannot find this fic. I thought it was written by @thorinsmut but tumblr’s broken search is telling me different. [Spoilers and some mentions of heavy violence ahead] It started with Junkrat getting chased out of Junkertown, Roadhog finding him and them somehow cutting a deal as they tend to do. But the two specific things I remember from this one were: 

Roadhog found a little pig and it was their mascot for a little bit and then some idiots decided to steal it and cook it. They did not live long after this.

And then Junkrat got his arm cut off by someone who wanted revenge on him and Roadhog took him to an old friend’s place(she may have had a partner? or she lived alone, I can’t remember) from back in his farming/omnic crisis to get him fixed up.

I was reading this well over a year ago at least(not sure if it was on here or twitter but pretty sure it was here and linked to AO3) and it was still being updated and tended to when I did, so now I’m trying to find the rest of it. If anyone knows anything like this, please link it to me or message me please!
