Summary
When he closes his eyes, he sees a portrait. The one of Laios, sat on his throne, dressed in his finery. Sometimes it feels like it’s painted inside his eyelids or framed somewhere on the back of his skull. It’s an image Kabru has always liked, ever since the day it got hung up. The king’s likeness captured near perfectly, with all his nervous edges buffed out. He looks like he belongs there.
Kabru hopes that when Laios is long gone, that is how he is remembered.Bookmarked by NowAndAgain

Summary
Gimli son of Glóin has been living with an aggravating secret – a bed-partner who no longer wants to share his bed. At an annual diplomatic council, he decides that things have gone far enough and initiates a confrontation – but takes a wrong turn and storms into someone else’s tent instead. Legolas, on the other hand, is taken aback when a strange dwarf surprises him in his tent and berates him for toying with him. But the more time they spend together, the more overwhelmed he becomes by his feelings for this startling new friend . . .
No War AU, written for the Unconventional Courtship challenge.

Summary
The third time The Thought crosses Roy’s mind, it doesn’t come as a sudden realisation like it had both times before. He doesn’t just happen to blink or some shit and get struck with the fucking epiphany that Jamie Tartt clearly, desperately needs a hug. It’s not a jolt to his system, not a surprise, not this huge blindsiding Thing that appears out of nowhere.
No, this iteration of The Thought creeps up like a bad cold: slowly, lazily to start, so that it doesn’t seem like such a big deal at first, but that’s how it fucking gets you, innit, because soon enough you’re knocked clear on your arse with the force of it.
And it’s fucking terrifying.

in which the touchstarved gays are no longer touchstarved but are still gay, Jamie's in his Mom City depression era, and Roy Kent is Trying His Best. Once again living vicariously through fictional sportsball men <3
(can be read as a standalone, but the first fic provides some context!)

Summary
Legolas blinks up into the sunlight. "It has been some time since we were strangers," he says, as thought he is only just realising this. "Just this morning you called me your friend."
"I did, and I will not recant it unless given a good reason."
"Good," Legolas says, with a startling fierceness. "Good. And— you are my friend, too."
"Poor fool of an Elf, you've gone and done it," Gimli says, and it's light-hearted but he means it. "No getting rid of me now."

“You!” sneered Legolas. “Were you not the one shouting ‘Never trust an Elf!’ at the late parley? And yet you choose to show yourself in my tent upon such an errand?”“Aye,” the Dwarf answered with a cold look, “For I will send none of my folk in my place, nor ask them to do what I would not submit to.”

Summary
“You’re going to make me say it, aren’t you?”
“Yes,” Legolas says, barely more than a whisper. “I need to hear you say it.”
For a moment, he wonders if Gimli is going to back down. He wonders if the thought crosses Gimli’s mind, too. But then Gimli meets his eyes and looks at him in a way Legolas might only think to describe as intent.
Or, Legolas and Gimli are able to slip away amidst Rohan's preparation for the Battle of Helm's Deep.

“Please,” he says, making a fist in crude linen, pulling Gimli closer, dizzy with the scent of his sweat, his skin, his dirt. His mouth floods, and he must swallow it before it continues. “Why do you not allow me to touch you as you touch me?”

Summary
When he speaks, his voice is so quiet that Astarion has to strain his Elven ears to hear him.
“I don’t have a choice.”
Astarion scoffs.
“Look, I know it seems that way, but I'm sure we can -"
“No,” Gale snaps, looking back up at him. “You don’t understand. I don’t have a choice.”
Gale is cursed to be obedient. This has... several implications for his odds of survival throughout Acts 1 and 2.

Summary
Like most of Gale’s problems since the Nautiloid, this whole mess is Tav’s fault. He doesn’t know exactly what Tav told Astarion when Gale was out of the room, but he trusts that they didn’t betray his confidence. Probably.
Whatever it is has made Astarion act even stranger than normal and it is threatening Gale’s very carefully curated compartmentalization of his feelings for the man.
