It's possible that I am DEAD OF CUTE. And also FEELINGS.

A Memory: In which Thorin babysits and Dwalin helps.

"Well, that one's certainly grown," he said, nodding at Fíli.

"I'm seven!" He said proudly.

"Fee, gimme duck," Kíli said, speaking quietly for once. Fíli graciously handed the toy over and took up a little boat instead. With the children distracted for a moment, Dwalin looked over at Thorin who now leaned over with his head again the rim of the tub, the very image of a man overwhelmed.

Dwalin burst out laughing.

"Shut up," growled Thorin.


Hold me.

I read that one earlier.

In this fandom, I find myself reading a lot of fics that don't make canon-sense at all, turning my brain off to enjoy them, and looking for the canon-compliant spot-on fics, kinda like this one.

I know! I was totally expecting whacked out crack-fic, and instead it was JUST PERFECT.

I also find that I read a lot more baby-sitting fics in Middle Earth (um, also I WROTE one, back in the day), because it's (usually) less creepy. By which I mean less likely to include incest.

I just can't with the incest. Not just in this fandom, I can't ever. I can't with the fan-created incestuous pairings. And if someone has the bad idea to write Turin & Niniel's wedding night, you won't find me reading that one either.

I'll admit I enjoy Bilbo/Thorin though. Bilbo/Kili is adorable for some reason. And I might end up being sold on Fili/Bofur.

But mostly, as ever, why isn't there more gen? *headdesk*

I'm usually okay with slash, but THIS IS A FANDOM FOR HUGGING, GORRAMIT!

Or something.

If there was gen, I probably wouldn't be reading the slash.

I guess it means we have to write it, except I can't even begin to organise my feels enough to write a fic.

Maybe you should prompt me.

That's what I'm working off of (there are more in the comments).

Of course, the one fic I've FINISHED is the one fic I didn't plan on, but that's Bofur for you.

I'm working on the Morgul prompt and also one where Baby!Estel watches the Dwarves and...possibly helps them "escape"?

Related: do you have an icon that's Thorin, Fili and Kili? I don't think they're ever together, but I need a "APPARENTLY I HAVE FEELINGS FOR THE DWARVES" icon, and I'd like a group shot. Perhaps from "That's What Bilbo Baggins Hates", if the caps are good...

I'm not sure they need help but perhaps there needs to be the fic where Gandalf tells the dwarves they need to leave pronto (after the rune-reading scene?). After all, as Galadriel said, he knew. And I can't help reading this as "because he was the one who told them to do so".

I have Fili & Kili and Fili & Thorin (also Thorin & Balin). However, I think I have an image where the three of them are together so I could try and make something out of it.

If there are caps from the Plates song, I think that might be best? I'm so picky though. I'll just wait and surf around until I find something.

I actually have quality caps of that so I'll see what I can do with them.

OK will definitely be reading this! Thorin and the wee!nephews have comprised a few of my fave fics so far lol. I think it's the image of Stoic!Prince being totally unable to defend himself from cute that amuses me.

And better the healthy Uncle/nephew relationships than the ones that I see most often.

I mean... I understand that there are an epically few number of females in The Hobbit, and it's practically designed to be a slash heavy fandom - but do we HAVE to slash the brothers, fandom? Really now?

I CAN'T EVEN, OMG, THE FEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS.

My problem with the slash in LotR fandom is that it's slash for the sake of sex. Or...something like that? I JUST WANT HUGGING.

"You're a para-sike!" OMG ded of cute... so very ded lol.

Yeah, pretty much! I mean, 1/3 femme to male ratio among the dwarven race makes some slashing fairly likely. But can we just have some plot occasionally?

I enjoy the smut, don't get me wrong, but I like it to have something else along with it. Plus I do occasionally like het too, and that will be difficult to find. I have ventured into the hell that is FFN at this point - terrifyingly badly written OCs are running amock already. Almost makes me tempted to write one if only because I'd hopefully write it halfway decently. That's half the reason I write OCs anymore. Out of defense.

I am nicely cocooned in a fannish circle that recs me most of my fic.

WRITE!!!!!! :)

[identity profile] hiddencait.livejournal.com 2012-12-30 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what kind of gen fic I can get my head around right now - I've got a hedgewitchy/healer OC wandering my head though- as the foster daughter of the original 14th dwarven member of the band who had a nasty run-in with an orc but sent the lass as a sign of his loyalty instead kind of thing.

Mostly because having a healer around might help with the inevitable denial issue. That one that we do not speak of and won't happen. Ever. So there.

Come on PJ - just this one little cannon change and I will love you forever and ever! lol

I won't even read AUs where they live because I CAN'T HANDLE THE FEELINGS.

[identity profile] hiddencait.livejournal.com 2012-12-30 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL yeah I can see that.

I on the other hand will ravenously read those kinda fics because for me fanfic is the place where all the awful things get made all better. Because of reasons. Reasons that don't even always have to make complete sense as long as it gets better lol.

*whimpers* Gah all the little details between them - from Thorin settling the boys without actually speaking and then winking at his sister to Fili being totally OK with being all prettied up.. just so sweet. *huggles them all*
