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 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.

[shadadukal]

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.

[shadadukal]

Ooh, thank you, I'm sure that'll help. :)

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...

[shadadukal]

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.

[shadadukal]

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