So, for those who don't regularly check Stories of Arda and who like character introspectives and Aragorn, try this fic.

I'll warn that it's long and that, besides a few chapters, there is virtually no dialogue. It is Aragorn's story right before LOTR when Gandalf forsakes the quest for Gollum and Aragorn is left to hunt the wild alone, finding Gollum and ultimately taking him to Thranduil to guard (and we know how well that went). Each chapter is basically (not always) a day in the life of Aragorn's solo quest, but the author has both characters down to a T and the description is worthy of Tolkien himself.

It's on chapter 35 and Aragorn is only about half way to Thranduil at this point, having left from the edges of Mordor after parting with Gandalf. So, a while to go yet, and probably plenty of adventure to be had. What I'm really enjoying is picturing Andy Serkis' Gollum in this and the facial expressions the author describes are spot on.

Worth the read.

Like This.

And this.

Right now.

My brain has compacted into a tiny molecule and then exploded into the size of the universe.

And I still can't figure out why it's so damn perfect.

Finding Home. The dwarfs thank Bilbo for saving Thorin. And there's a really cute Fili/Kili/Thorin scene that someone needs to draw NOW.

Cute Dwarf children do it for you?

How about adorable Hobbit children being taken care of by fearsome Dwarf warriors?

Please Tread Lightly When Surrounded by Young Hobbits

And, how about great-uncle Thorin? What the future would be like if no one had um...you know. They all have kids instead! Great-Uncle King Under the Mountain

Family, Duty, Honor

An interesting look at Dis' less than happy life. She is, after all, a princess of Erebor. Royalty doesn't marry for love.

And in the Darkness

I'm not entirely sure my brain can handle this concept: John Watson was Bilbo Baggins in a former life. Which, of course, means Sherlock was Sauron.
windemere: (Sherlock & John)
I have so much love for this fic, I can't even find the words. A look at one of John's many, many relationships with a woman after he joins up with Sherlock. Ever wonder what her side of the story is?
