Summary
Gimli closes his eyes, an old Dwarf on the brink of death in the home he had built with his husband in the Undying Lands, and opens them again as a young Dwarf in his childhood home in Ered Luin. He's returned to the tumultuous week before The Company set out to recruit their Burglar from his cosy hobbit hole. Gimli, once again a impetuous teen in the eyes of his family, must get into that Company--the lives of his loved ones, and the very fate of Middle Earth--depends on it.

Summary
'Surely if ever there was a time to tell Gimli it was then, flush with an impossible victory.
Except he had said nothing, for there was ever more to do and never time, never time to pull Gimli aside and taste the mouth hidden beneath the fall of his moustache, to fit his slim, Eleven hands into ones coarse with callouses from the handle of an axe, to tell Gimli that every song Legolas sang, every smile and laugh and every step forward he had taken since their path darkened was bolstered only by Gimli at his side, to speak to him of Elvish courting rituals and run his fingers through Gimli’s russet hair and ask if he would allow Legolas to twist an Elvish braid in it, something to mark to all the world, even if only his Elven eyes would understand, that Gimli was tied to him.
To ask Gimli to teach him all the impossible ways their bodies might fit together.'
The night before the Battle of the Black Gate, and several days after.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
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).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

I laughed, I cried, and then I read it again. An absolutely wonderful afterlife for the Line of Durin and just great Gimli/Legolas story.

Summary
Sigrid knows next to nothing about Dwarves, except some saved her and her siblings' lives when they were children, fifteen years ago. Since then, she has had little contact with them unless it was necessary for diplomacy.
Kíli knows something of Men but isn't terribly impressed, and even a bit wary of them, given their poor treatment of Dwarves at large.
Soon, they are to be wed when tensions between Dwarves and Men reach a boiling point. In each other, they will eventually find their One, as much as hearth and home.

A Modern Girl's Guide to Middle-earth by Anonymous

Summary
For as long as internet fanfiction culture has existed, the trope of a modern girl falling into the world of Middle-earth has been part of it.
Some love her, some hate her (Fanlore, 2025). But no one can deny the permanent impression the Modern Girl has made on LOTR fanfiction as a whole.
This guide was written for all the fans who have at some point wished for their own adventure in Middle-earth, as well as a heartfelt thank you to all the authors who have sent their OCs on amazing journeys for our entertainment.
